#GilasPilipinas & Gabe Norwood Made Me Use TWITTER Again

The way Gilas Pilipinas played against basketball powerhouse Argentina made me Twitter active.

I am not really an active Twitter user. But last night, I can't help but rue the fact that I am not that fast enough in creating tweets. I felt the need for an outlet to my excitement.

The defense, the passing, and the conversion of baskets by Gilas Pilipinas, when they made that run in the opening quarter, seemed to me on a different level. And they did that when Andray Blatch sat down due to early foul trouble.

I am not that proud of my twitter skills but I can never be more prouder to be a Filipino and to be represented by the most gutsy basketball national team of my country.

And definitely because of these awesome dunks by Gabe Norwood.

I am now following Steve Nash via Twitter

My favorite NBA player - Steve Nash - was in the list of the top NBA players strutting their stuff on Twitter.

The article said this about Mr. Steve Nash's tweeting;

The calm, cool, and collected Phoenix Suns point guard is just that on his Twitter page. Not only is he interactive with fans, the epitome of the team player also tweets quite a bit about different charities that he supports, and how the follower can become a part of them.
