MANILA, Philippines–Nagwagi si Nard Pinto mula sa pagiging PBA title hunter noong Biyernes ng gabi matapos talunin ng Barangay Ginebra ang kanyang lumang koponan na Meralco at ulitin bilang kampeon sa Governors’ Cup.

Ang matitigas na ilong na guwardiya ay natuwa sa kanyang kauna-unahang kampeonato, ngunit hindi maiwasang maawa sa kanyang mga dating kasamahan.

“Sobrang saya ko, siyempre, nawawalan ako ng salita,” sinabi niya sa mga mamamahayag sa takong ng 103-92 Game 6 na panalo sa loob ng punong Mall of Asia Arena.

“Pero may konting lungkot din. As I’ve always said, close ako (sa mga players sa Meralco). Pero basketball yun. Nandito ako ngayon sa Ginebra. I’m just happy and feel blessed na nakapag-champion ako dito sa Ginebra.”

Si Pinto ay bahagi ng Meralco team na lumaban sa Ginebra sa championship series noong 2019, ang huling edisyon ng season-ending tournament bago tumama ang pandemya. Natalo ng Bolts ang tunggalian na iyon sa limang laro.

Pagkatapos ay pinili niyang sumali sa Gin Kings matapos pumasok sa libreng ahensya noong Enero ng taong ito, na nagtapos ng halos tatlong taong paglalaro para sa Norman Black at sa Bolts.

Naging two-way presence si Pinto para sa crowd darlings sa tournament na ito. Ang kanyang pinakamahusay na pagganap sa title series ay isang 10-point, four-rebound, at three-assist job sa Game 2.

Nagtapos siya ng limang puntos, pitong board, apat na assist, at isang steal sa clincher.

“Napakaganda ng timing. Tandaan, pang-anim (seed) kami at gumapang kami papunta dito, para maging champion,” he said. “Hindi naman sa pagkuha ng No. 1 seed tapos champion.

“Ito ay naging matigas, tulad ng pag-scale sa isang bundok,” idinagdag niya.

Matatandaang noong kickoff ng serye, pinagtawanan ni San Miguel Corp. sports director Al Francis ang paglipat ni Pinto sa Ginebra, na sinabing ibabalik niya ang guard sa Meralco sakaling masira ng Gin Kings ang kanilang depensa sa titulo.

Tumatawa si Pinto noon. Friday night pa siya.

“Sabi niya ngayong gabi hindi na niya ako ipapadala pabalik. Tama ba ang narinig mo?” aniya tungkol sa team governor ng Ginebra.

“Ilang beses niyang sinabi,” natatawa niyang dagdag.

Pink Princess Doll Cake

I love this cake - it's so girly! Yes, this is indeed a cake - or rather, the bottom half of the doll is cake. Her dress is made of fondant and her skirt is a chocolate cake - a delicious vegan recipe. In this post I'll also explain how to use a Garrett frill cutter, a piece of equipment I bought when I took a cake decorating class last year, and also review a brilliant new product I found at Ikea. So how did this cake come about? Well, my friend Ros - who some of you know as The More Than Occasional Baker - decided she wanted a pink princess theme for her birthday party in September. We might be in our 30s but that's no reason not to embrace our inner child... or our inner princess! I was very honoured when she asked me to make her a birthday cake, as Ros is such an amazing baker herself. As soon as she told me the theme I thought of this cake - I'd seen pictures of them before but never made or eaten one. You basically take a doll, like Barbie or Bratz, bake a dome...

Our Wedding at the Larmer Tree Gardens, Wiltshire

Surely these are the ingredients of a perfect wedding: your friends and family, a beautiful and unusual venue, a garden reception with croquet and peacocks, a string quartet to walk down the aisle to, fantastic food (homemade cake followed by a posh barbecue and a trio of desserts), drinks that flowed, an amazing band, photobooth, racing simulator, alpacas, marshmallows over an open fire and fairy lights in the garden.   We had all those things and more when I got married at the Larmer Tree Gardens in Wiltshire in June. I’m originally from Salisbury so we were going to look at wedding venues both around there and near where we live now on the outskirts of London, but we took one look at the Larmer Tree – the first potential venue we visited – and knew it was the one.   The gardens were created in 1880 and were the first privately owned gardens to be opened to the public – they are now recognised by English Heritage as a Garden of National Importance.
