Hey guys!
So recently I teamed up with the lovely team at Vivid Matcha Green Tea to embark upon a 7 day challenge. This challenge consisted of substituting coffee with Vivid Green Tea.
I was somewhat sceptical to take part as I am a tea and coffee lover and the thought of not having my fair few cups a day pretty much gave me premature premature withdrawal symptoms. Yes this may sound dramatic (I'm sassy what do you expect) but for all of my fellow caffeine addicts you'll understand the fear of such a daunting thought. Nevertheless I decided to challenge myself and completely quite the caffeine cold turkey for 7 days!
Day 1 was rather testing and I was tempted to have the cheeky cup or two convincing myself I'll start tomorrow, however I decided to stay true to the challenge and followed through with my Caffeine War. Day 2 was a lot better, and I actually felt fine with the Green Tea. I actually felt revitalised and more refreshed, surprisingly the green tea was giving me a similar effect of alertness throughout my day. Skip through to day 6 and on this penultimate day I've pretty much began looking forward to having my first cup of Green Tea! Who knew?
I'll be honest, I'd never particularly been a fan of green tea, not because I didn't like it, but simply due to the fact that I didn't really understand the taste. Practically everyone else I know seems to always drink it religiously, but to me it basically tasted like water with a hint of suttin' suttin', so that unbeknown hint of taste has always left me steering clear of the beverage.
To be fair I've only tried a few sips from several green teas so I didn't exactly give it a fair chance. But after completing my 7 day challenge I'm actually surprised at how much I've grown to love it! Feeling refreshed and energised I honestly wasn't particularly missing my several daily doses of coffee.
My recommendation? Go and get your hands on some ASAP! What's more, this green tea contains natural Caffeine (all the good bits). The stylish packaging and the portable bottle coming in a plethora of delicious flavours, one of which being Grape & Elderflower (My fave) allows you to be Vivid anytime of the day wherever you may be! www.vividdrinks.com
Stay Sassy - Stay Vivid, xoxo

First Obedience Class
Barbie was a little hesitant when I lead her into Billy's Daycare for Dogs. It smelled like so many different dogs, and she was sniffing and her rear end was quivering a little. On the way in she saw the treats display and mouthed one of the plastic covered goodie bags. I got her attention and we made our way in. The trainer, Desma, greeted us.
The other two dogs there today were much younger than Barbie. When Desma spoke to us about various things, the two younger dogs whined and barked. They were like 'WHYYYYYYY AREN'T WE DOING ANYTHING!>!??'
Barbie just stood and sniffed around quietly.
The first thing we did was the 'sit' game to see how many times we could get the dogs to sit in 60 seconds. Barbie sat 11 times, then we had to do it without saying 'sit' - she did it 14 times. She was pretty attentive. Then we did doggie 'pushups' - the others took their dogs into a down from a sit - but I took Barbie from a stand to a down and back again, just to help safeguard against her melting from a 'sit' into a 'down'. She was a bit hesitant to lie down at first but she did it willingly after the first one.
She learned 'wait' at the gate (simulating a front door) a lot quicker than the puppies, though she wasn't so good at looking at me without prompting.
The last activity we did was 'leave it' but Barbie wasn't particularly interested in any of the 'objects' I had to get her to 'leave it'. I think I am going to have to train 'leave it' with food. I don't think there will be any intermediate items.
Her recall was good with people distractions, but I didn't try it with dog distractions, though she wasn't overly interested in the dogs present.
Apparently next week we will work on 'give' (though with Bender, I use 'ta'). I think with Barbie, instead, I will ask for advice on how to get her to hold objects in her mouth. I don't think she is going to hold on to anything long enough for me to use 'ta' unless it is a food item!
An hour in a training class was also evidently too much for Barbie despite fairly lengthy breaks between activities. The other two dogs were still working, but Barbie spaced out. Then she started walking backwards with that spaced out look on her face. I regained her attention a few times but I didn't try to do anything with her after that. When we got home she was just exhausted. I have never really trained her more than 5 minutes at a time so I think it was a bit much for her!

I had to use food for leave it, too! They don't care enough about other stuff for it to matter, but they do always listen to that command, thank goodness! We run into our share of dead birds on walks and I don't want anybody picking up those!
I gave ours a lot of down time in between what we were working on in class or I had the same problem with them just tuning out. If we worked on something and they got it right the first couple of times, I let it go at that. I'm glad the first class went well!

Hi Road Dogs! Mum says I have to learn to listen to her because I can run so very fast. If I don't listen I don't get to go off lead. So I'm trying very hard!
Houndstooth - I found a yummy bread roll once on our walks and now I check out every bit of greasy paper in case there is more food!! Dead birds sound YUMMY!

my best and favorite writing
What are the first images/words that come to your mind when you hear the phrase "serving your country"? If you're like most people, it'll probably be something related to the military, which is why I argue that serving your country should be, and really is, so much broader than just the Armed Forces.
As you know, I am also a writer at the Juventus Black & White & Read All Over blog at SB Nation. My latest article was a farewell letter to the departing striker Gonzalo Gerardo Higuaín. He was brilliant, and I felt he deserved more affection and gratitude for his two seasons in service of Juventus.
The third and final part is upon us! Here I talk about my biggest secrets, if I prefer texting over calling, my greatest fears, if I'm truly happy or not, what I'm most proud of in my life, and more!
In addition to all my writing here, I write content elsewhere on the Internet as well. I made a page where you can find all the content that I've written on other blogs, most of which is football-related. Check out it!
Being a perfectionist has a pretty negative stigma attached to it. By drawing parallels with the character Cell from Dragonball Z, I argue that pursuing perfection should actually be lauded as a noble endeavor, as long it's the right type of perfection.
Politicians and economists are obsessed with economic growth. As long as a government official posts some percentage of growth, the heavens rejoice. I argue that this obsession is misplaced and question how much we even need economic growth.
I appeared on the podcast Why the Hell Am I Here? by the Richland Source to talk about my experience growing up in the Netherlands, moving around during my childhood, and my overall life story.
High school. The world's most infamously hated yet popular topic. It's something that every person and his dog has an opinion on. Want to hear me philosophize about my experience with high school? Then keep reading!
Although it's still very much a man's world, if you look closely, real closely, you'll see that things are changing in ways that are rarely discussed in mainstream media. Could it be that women are outperforming men in higher education?
Why is passion one of the most discussed topics on the internet? I don't know, but I'm not here to give you another one of those just-find-your-passion articles. Time for a more refreshing take on the issue of finding your passion.

He was more than their dog, he was a part of their family.
George the Weimaraner, gangly, lovable and to this Perth family, their rock. So when the Ricci family of Perth were told he was gravely ill they were devastated.
Mum and photographer Krystle Ricci said the 11-year-old Weimaraner has comforted her family during their hardest times.
"Like for many families with pets, George was our first baby and more than just a dog," she said.
"He was beside me during the dark days of postnatal depression and when I was mourning the loss of my sister to cancer. He stayed by my side curled up on the couch, licking tears from my cheeks.
So it was with the heaviest of hearts she was faced with an unbearable decision to make.
She says that they refused to give up on him when he became gravely ill with severe pancreatitis.

Pure, pure love. Source: Krystle Ricci
They wouldn't let him go
"Losing him was comparable to losing a human loved one. We had to give George a chance."
"I remember the call from emergency care in the early hours of the morning telling us he had taken a turn for the worse. They told us to prepare our family for the worst.
A boy and his dog. Source: Krystle Ricci
They had to make an unthinkable decision
"Bleary eyed, my husband and I drove to the hospital preparing to say our final goodbyes to our beloved George. But when we got there, I took one look in his eyes and knew it wasn't his time. That's why we spent our entire savings and borrowed money from family to save him."
And it was a good thing they did because George has since made a full recovery and is back home again, much to the relief of his loving family.
Krystle said her four-year-old son, Theo, who suffers from asthma attacks, has formed a unique bond with George.
"When he returns home from the children's hospital, it is George who uplifts him."
"George was there when Theo was constantly sick and needed to skip his first year of kindergarten. When Theo is not in hospital, they explore every nook and cranny of our house together. They enjoy watching the garbage truck every week and love playing superheroes."
It became unclear whether George thinks he's human or whether Theo thinks he's a dog. Source: Krystle Ricci
The boy and his dog
Krystle captured the unique bond between Theo and George on the last day before Theo's first day at school.
"During this project, it became unclear whether George thinks he's human or whether Theo thinks he's a dog," she said.
What we know is that it's love. Pure and simple.

The Engagement Day
I am pretty excited to blog today because here's the post that most of you have been asking for - the actual engagement day! I will run through our engagement day with as many details and as many visuals as possible. It has been almost four months since we got engaged and I finally come around to writing about this. I guess it's because Fazwan is currently in Finland / Prague for 1.5 months until mid December so my distractions went down to a minimal. Hehe.
Related: The Engagement Preparations
Anyway, I will run through our engagement day with as many details and as many visuals as possible so please read through before sending in any of your questions! I'm not a professional in relationships just because I got engaged but I am willing to share my experience and I'm open to answering your questions... but let's be honest - I roll my eyes every time someone asks a question that has already been answered. Hahaha annoying you know, so please, read first.
As I mentioned in my previous post, different families have different styles of executing this day for their children. I have never been through and I have never attended a whole engagement ceremony before this but thankfully, with the help of experienced family members and friends, Fazwan and I kinda had an idea of what we had to do and tweaked them so that our engagement day fits to our liking.
I love this shot of my engagement dress and veil. They're both from Joo Chiat Complex and are pretty affordable considering the fact that we bought it in Singapore. I bought this dress (SGD50) at the very last minute and got it from this small Muslimah boutique. I didn't get the name of it but the shop is located at Level 1 - right behind the taxi stand. I had to get it altered to fit properly but it was definitely a steal.
As for the veil (SGD35), we went to more than 10 shops looking for one that would match my dress but it was so hard to find, I swear my mum and I almost gave up the search. We decided to check out one more shop and stumbled upon this small boutique that did alterations at Level 3. I was jokingly telling my mum to look at the name of the shop - "Wan & Sister Collection" - laughing and saying how Wan & Kakak had a shop in secret. The lady inside overheard us and took out this lovely hand made veil that was hidden underneath bulks of clothes. Talk about fate!
My make-up artist (Nur by N.S.A.) dolling me up and giving lots of advices on how to handle annoying makciks on my big day. Hahaha. I was looking for an MUA around three months before my engagement day and many of the commonly mentioned names were already booked - with last minute charges etc. I was quite taken aback and was prepared to make myself up in order to save some money, but Fazwan and my friends continued to encouraged me to find an MUA - knowing how cranky I get when I can't draw my eyebrows in peace. Hahahaha.
Coincidentally, I stumbled upon Nur's Instagram account and enquired right away because at that point of time, she was having an online promotion for Hari Raya. She was so prompt with her replies and kindly offered me the promotional price if I were to confirm my booking before the raya period ends. She also kept herself updated with the colour of my dress / accessories I'm planning on using / photo references from past brides - which I felt was very thoughtful of her to envision my look for the day and even get excited for my big day together with me.
All the accessories that I used were my own and were really just everyday things. The necklace (Lovisa, SGD17) and the earrings (Panda Eyes, RM10). Funny story? We wanted to have a flower in my hair but didn't prepare any - so I took one out from the decorations on the gift trays and Nur helped put it in place. Hahaha if I hadn't tell you, you wouldn't have guessed it right!
I wasn't that picky with how I wanted my make up to look like and there wasn't any make up trials before the actual day - so it really was a risk I was willing to take and trusted Nur with the process. She did such a great job and the make up stayed on throughout the entire ceremony + the outdoor photoshoot that came after. I'm glad I engaged her services for this day.
To be honest, gift trays can be pretty expensive especially if you get a vendor to get them made up. Thankfully, my friend Ihsan had these trays from his sister's wedding and lent the empty trays to me. All I had to do was to spend a few dollars on ribbons and faux flowers to get them redecorated to fit my theme and I was really happy with how they turned out!
Fazwan and I had agreed on the items that we were going to gift each other and these were the 6 trays from me to him. There was only supposed to be 5 but I completely forgot about the Bunga Rampai. Thankfully in the end, the cake was too big that it couldn't fit onto the trays so we ended up with the 6 trays that you see here.
You have no idea how many times Fazwan and I changed the items that were supposed to be on these trays. We were almost coerced into buying things like an Apple watch and a drone but in the end, we decided to bring it down a notch and still bought things that we wanted / will use, without going overboard. Most of the items that you see here were bought in Malaysia (the likes of Pavillion & Suria KLCC) simply because of the tourist discount / GST refund that we received by shopping overseas. (Related: The Engagement Preparations)
I designed and printed the tray tags on my own - I really loved how it turned out. But it was honestly super hard to find a plain silver / platinum ring for Fazwan. He has his preferences but he's not extremely picky. The rings that he liked were either overpriced and the ones that hit our budget were too sparkly for his liking. Hahaha. We ended up getting his ring from ORRO back in Singapore.
Taking some shots with my family before Fazwan's side came over. These were the longest minutes of my life but they were made longer because they had to make a detour. They were running a little late because... guess who forgot all about the bouquet he was supposed to collect and bring to me? Hahahaha.
Here are the gift trays from Fazwan's side to mine. All we did was to give one picture as an inspiration reference, and his sister had them done up with a friend, in the colour theme that I specifically wanted - which is really so sweet of her. Most of the items here were also bought from Pavillion & Suria KLCC.
Here's the discussion between two families to settle the details of our engagement and upcoming wedding. Well my first uncle is a really hilarious guy and he has successfully led the engagement discussion of 4 of my cousins, which was why I chose him to represent me with Karem as my witness. was told that Fazwan's uncle is a really strict man in the household and it's really hard to make him laugh, but I'm surprised to see him laughing away in the first picture.
I was inside my room when all of this was happening but I think Hafiz did a splendid job at capturing the moments that I couldn't witness with my own eye. All the shots are so natural and candid. It really warms my heart seeing so many of my family members and Fazwan's family members gathered around just to witness us taking one step further in our relationship. Crazy sweet, really.
This was the most nerve wrecking moment for me, throughout the entire day. I have had my fair share of bad relationships with unreceptive potential mother in laws but I guess it's true what they say - always have faith in Allah's plans. It feels so surreal, knowing that Fazwan's mum accepts me for who I am and the way I treat her son. Insha'Allah our relationship will always be this blissful but as of today, I have a future mother in law who treats me like her own daughter. I could never ask for more.
It meant the world to me, to have my mum and both my grandparents be a part of this day with me, of course. In case you don't know, I grew up without a dad and my grandfather will always be that father figure in my life - he's a man with very little words, but his actions go a long way. It makes me want to cry just looking at this picture. Fazwan on the other hand couldn't control his tears. Hehe.
These were the flowers that Fazwan almost forgot to collect. Hahaha. I love these flowers and chose them myself the night before at Northpoint City's Xpress Flowers. I was procrastinating and didn't have the time to get a bouquet from any wedding bridal florist perse, but I think this worked just as well and only cost us SGD30! We were about to get a bouquet of pink roses but then I realize that I don't need another rose in my life because I now have Rosfazwan. Get it? Hehehe.
Our first few shots after getting both our individual rings on our fingers. It was still pretty surreal to be engaged at this point of time, and a little bit awkward because everyone looking at us while we pose for the cameraman but I guess, we could consider this as practice before the actual day huh?
Meanwhile, outside, most of our guests were enjoying the buffet spread that my mum had ordered from her friend. The food was cooked and delivered to us that morning but the set-up was all DIY. I bought the chalk board label holders from Kaison in Johor and my awesome loved ones helped prepare everything.
The cheese tarts and packs of peas were home made by my relatives. The grapes and colourful cake in the first picture was store bought, but the ondeh ondeh and red velvet cake bites were from 21bakesavenue. I think we can all agree that the red velvet were a little too dry for most of us but the ondeh ondeh flavour was amazing, everyone wiped them off the trays before the event was over.
Speaking of cake.. our friends decided to surprise us with a random outburst of birthday song, saying that it was the birth of one-sie (as in fazwan and mimsy). Hahaha it was hilarious and we were totally caught of guard. Seriously, we know each other so well but when it comes to surprises, we can never expect what the other person has up their sleeves. This is the 6th surprise that we managed to pull of this year.
After all the commotion from the surprise, we moved on to family photos!
I sincerely thank my family for taking the time to grace the event, despite most of you living in Johor / Kuala Lumpur. Thank you for helping my mum and grandparents with the preparation from the start, and some even coming the day before to get into the gotong royong spirit. I know I haven't been the best relative and I have missed so many special occasions due to work and adolescence ignorance growing up.. but I'm older now and I better understand the meaning of family, and I promise to always make time for all of you.
Here's Fazwan side of the family - well only 10% of his whole family actually. It would have been a dream to have his entire family around but there was no way that we could accommodate to all of his relatives in my tiny house, so we had to make some sacrifices :(
Dino, Fazwan's best friend and soon to be best man. We couldn't have had a smooth day without him. He helped us a whole lot - from the first time we broke the news to him, to getting us the photographer, to driving us around to get our stuff the day before, to fetching Fazwan's family from home, right til the very last minute where Fazwan was already on the way to my house but had forgotten about the bouquet. Hahaha. Thank you bro for always being there for Fazwan.
Our amazing bunch of friends who stayed throughout the entire event from start to finish and helped my mum and relative out with so many of the back end jobs. Some of them I've known since poly days but most of them, I never expected would be so close to me now. I really am thankful for you guys.
It was a small event with an equally constrained space so we sincerely apologise for not being able to invite more guests but I am truly blessed and thankful to have all of you guys setting aside time to grace the event. I honestly am so touched that I made it into all of your busy schedules and it warms my heart getting to meet / catch up with some of you, whom I've not met for quite some time.
I had the doors of my wardrobe removed and thrown away earlier this year (which I completely regretted) but Fazwan had this amazing Mandela tapestry nailed onto my wardrobe to cover up the mess and it ended up doubling as a photo backdrop as well! Well it wasn't intentional but Ally came up with this spontaneous idea and everyone took turns enjoying their vain moment.
"She was not prepped for this," - Azza, Arissa's mummy.
After the main bulk of the photo taking, we headed out with Dino & Hafiz for the impromptu outdoor photoshoot. The pictures were amazing but I will not be publishing them here because I will be flooding. Unless you guys would like to see them, then I will probably create another post just for the outcome of this shoot. There are just too many nice photos and that's really hard to capture because Fazwan and I aren't exactly natural or photogenic to begin with. Hahaha!
Well I guess that sums up our entire engagement day. It's still pretty hard to believe that I'm engaged but well, I am. I couldn't have had such a beautiful day without everyone pictured in this post and of course, this gentleman right here. Everytime someone asks me "How did you know that Fazwan is the one to make you settle down?" I hesitate. Not because I don't have the answer, but because I don't know which reason to choose. Thank you for being you, F.
Okay before things get too cringe worthy, I'd better stop. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or email me personally! I'm not a professional in relationships just because I got engaged but I am willing to share my experience and I will answer to your questions if you ask me. Have a great week ahead <3

JAKARTA (REUTERS) - Indonesia's human rights commission has urged President Joko Widodo to end rights violations in the easternmost province of Papua after police were alleged to have killed one person and wounded 16 others while trying to quell a protest.
The incident started on Tuesday (July 31) when workers at a construction site in the province's Deiyai district refused to transport a man who had nearly drowned in a river to a hospital, according to local media Tabloid Jubi.
Residents were angry when the man eventually died and attacked the workers' camp and assaulted police officers who were called by the company, the news website reported.
Officers fired warning shots to disperse protesters, police spokesman for the Papua region A.M. Kamal said. He disputed the number of victims, saying police records showed nine residents, not 16, were wounded by the warning shots and one died from a wound in his leg.
"President Jokowi should take the initiative and lead the settlement of humanitarian cases in the land of Papua through peaceful dialogue comprehensively .. within the framework of the unity of the Republic of Indonesia," Maneger Nasution, an official at Indonesia's Human Rights Commision, said in a statement on Thursday (Aug 3), referring to the president by his nickname.
The commission - a state institution in charge of research and mediation of human rights problems, independent from the government - has sent its members to Papua to investigate the incident, Nasution said.
A presidential spokesman declined to comment.
Natalius Pigai, another commissioner at the institution, called the incident "a serious human rights violation".
A heavy-handed approach by the police and military on behalf of companies "has happened for a long time, massively and systematically. More than 60 people have died because of cases like this," Pigai told Reuters.
Police spokesman Kamal said its internal investigation unit and commission members had begun questioning construction workers on Thursday. They would interview police officers involved in the incident on Friday.
Reports of human rights abuses often emerge from Papua, where a separatist movement has simmered for decades.
The International Coalition for Papua in its 2017 report said there was a significant aggravation of the human rights situation in Papua in 2015 and 2016 compared to previous years.
Indonesia took over the former Dutch colony after a widely criticised United Nations-backed referendum in 1969. Despite its rich resources, the province is among the poorest regions in Southeast Asia's largest economy.

Wivenhoe Council's planning department this morning revealed that small-handed, orange-skinned lady-botherer and part-time President of the United States of Hairmerica, Donald Trump, has applied for permission to build a Hooters bar beside the railway tracks in downtown Wivenhoe.
The bar has proved enormously popular in Hairmerica, where the word hooters is apparently a funny way of referring to breasts and Hairmericans can't get enough of them or some such shit.
A spokesperson for Donnie T told The Brightlingsea and Wivenhoe Gazette: "Our extensive research has revealed that you guys in Wyvenhowe love the sound of hooters going off at all hours along your railway line, so we're going to cash in on that big time."
In an official statement, a spokesperson for Wivenhoe Mayor, Dame Dannii Minogue, revealed: "Getting planning permission granted on this protected land that is supposed to be a nature reserve or some old rubbish is notoriously difficult and the fact that Mr Trump has absolutely definitely positively not offered us any bribes at all whatsoever, honestly, will have little bearing on the likely approval of this wholesome and worthwhile endeavour".

This Monday night Mick will facilitate.
Last week a number of sangha members went to a weekend retreat taught by Anam Thubten. Among his many teachings,
one in particular stood out. Of the thousands of practices encountered on the spiritual path, he highlighted one particular practice of self inquiry. This practice involves coming back to the present moment and checking in with yourself many times a day to ask "what is the state of my mind?". This is an inquiry that can only be examined through the practice of
deep listening.With deep listening we can take this self inquiry a step further and deeper to observe and attend to the mind, thoughts and emotions. Throughout the course of each day, from the moment we awaken, until the moment that we fall asleep, we are inundated with inner and outer chatter. The consumption of what we hear and what we listen too has a profound effect on the state of our minds. There are days when our minds are like a ship at sea being tossed about by the waves. Mindfulness practice, and specifically the practice of deep listening can help us to find stillness amidst the waves.
Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh) talks about engaging in deep or compassionate listening with the ones we love. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey he said:
Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty her heart. You don't argue. If you do, she loses her chance. You just listen with compassion and help her to suffer less. One hour like that can bring transformation and healing.
The practice of deep listening is at the heart and the core of mindfulness practice. Thay teaches that your sitting practice is composed of, and generates mindfulness, concentration and insight. These three energies come about through learning to listen deeply to ourselves. Before we can be there to listen deeply to a loved one, we need to come home to ourselves and listen deeply. We can take the instructions for listening deeply to a loved one as instructions for ourselves. In a talk from 1991, Thay spoke again about deep listening and relieving suffering.
We all know that if we love someone, if we truly want to make someone happy, the first thing we must cultivate is the art of listening, because listening is very healing. If we spend time listening to the pain of the person we love, he or she will be relieved. And listening without judging releases pain.
Practice listening with all our attention and open heartedness. We will sit and listen without any prejudice. We will sit and listen without judging or reacting. We will sit and listen in order to understand. We will sit and listen so attentively that we will be able to hear what the other person is saying and also what the other person is leaving unsaid. We know that, just by listening deeply, we alleviate a great deal of pain and suffering in the other person.'
Usually we are able to listen practice open hearted listening towards others more easily than towards ourselves. As we look into deep listening we can ask ourselves a few questions.
When and how do I listen to myself. Do I listen often? Without judging? What do I do when I recognize the state of my mind?
When and how do I listen to the people in my life? Do I listen often? Without judging? How do I respond or react when I listen to the people in my life.
I look forward to our sharing on deep listening this Monday night.
Below is a link with a 3 minute excerpt of Thay talking with Oprah about deep listening

High School Basketball
Clovis West falls in OT thriller to nation's No. 2 girls basketball team
Clovis West High School and Archbishop Mitty-San Jose sent a plethora of NCAA Division I senior recruits on to the court Saturday night in the championship game of the Iolani Classic in Honolulu.
So, of course, it was a sophomore who wound up the star.
Haley Jones scored 15 of her 16 points after halftime, including all seven for her team in overtime as the Monarchs held off the Golden Eagles 76-75 in a matchup of nationally top 10-ranked teams.
USA TODAY No. 9 Clovis West (7-1), playing its second overtime game in two nights, was down nine through three quarters, trailed by 10 late in the fourth, rallied into the lead, fell behind again and tied it 69-69 on Madison Campbell's steal and layup with 16.3 seconds to go.
Campbell missed a free throw that would have made it a three-point play, but the nationally second-ranked Monarchs missed a one-and-one at their end to force the extra session.
In overtime, Jones hit a 3-pointer to make it 72-69, then went inside to score. She was fouled and hit the free throw to make it 75-71. Campbell scored to make it 75-73, with Clovis West fighting for two offensive rebounds to keep the possession alive. Jones made 1 of 2 free throws and Clovis West's Danae Marquez scored inside just before the final horn.
Krissy Miyahara, who hit 7 of 8 from beyond the arc in the first half and finished with eight 3-pointers, led Mitty with 24 points.
Bre'yanna Sanders' 18 points led Clovis West. She was named tournament Most Outstanding Player while Jones was the MVP.
Tess Amundsen and Sarah Bates also earned all-tournament honors for the Golden Eagles.
There could be a rematch coming, with both teams entered at the Nike Tournament of Champions on Dec. 19-22 in Phoenix. Seedings in the 16-team divisions there have yet to be set.
Clovis West nearly was stopped short in its drive to the championship game by a familiar nemesis. Long Beach Poly, the same Jackrabbits who bounced the Golden Eagles in a Southern California Regional Open Division semifinal last season, almost pulled off a comeback against Clovis West in Friday's second round.
Poly point guard Deja Williams hit a long 3-pointer at the buzzer to end regulation, forcing overtime – after the Jackrabbits had trailed 34-21 at halftime.
OVERTIME! National Top tens LB Poly and Clovis West headed to OT after buzzer beater by soph Deja Williams pic.twitter.com/MDGXqsTytH— PT + Gazettes Sports (@PTGazetteSports) December 10, 2016
But the Arizona State-bound Sanders, after Poly took a 66-63 edge in the extra period, gave Clovis West a 67-66 lead with a layup, and three free throws down the stretch allowed the Eagles to hold on for a 70-67 win. Poly is a three-time champion of the Iolani and also headed to the Phoenix tournament.
Sanders finished with a game-high 23 points and Bates had 17.
Loyola Marymount signee Jasmine Jones had 17 for a Poly team ranked second in Cal-Hi Sports' Preseason State Top 25. Clovis West was right behind at No. 3.
The Golden Eagles opened in Honolulu with a 67-58 win over Maryknoll-Honolulu, ranked No. 2 in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top 10. Amundsen scored 20 and Sanders had 10 along with five rebounds and four steals for Clovis West, which led 53-37 through three quarters and 63-42 with 4:11 remaining.

The following article has absolutely NO informational value. I posted it only for you to see how easy it is to push around stupid citizens using a simple "drug abuse detection guide for parents".
Teens and drugs: A parent's guide
By Jeff Lytle
Sunday, November 19, 2006
Southwest Florida is resolved to keep its youths off drugs.
To do that, parents, guardians and other adults need to know what to look for.
This ought to help. It is a primer on the drugs most commonly abused by teens, courtesy of the Collier County Sheriff's Office.
For more information, parents and groups can contact the Substance Abuse Coalition of Collier County. Its vice chairman, Kevin Rambosk of the Sheriff's office, is at 793-9205.
— Jeff Lytle, Perspective editor
Look under your kitchen sink or anywhere inside your garage and you'll find what kids are using to get high. Gasoline, spray paint, bleach, glue, helium from balloons, pressurized cleaner used to clean computer keyboards, paint thinner and rubber cement are just some of the products. One teenager in Collier County died earlier this year after taking the Freon out of an air conditioning unit and inhaling it.
HOW USED: The gases and vapors of these products are extremely dangerous and are usually inhaled from paper bags, fingers or pieces of cloth that have been sprayed or dipped. The body is starved of oxygen and brain functions are cut off, which may lead to respiratory arrest and in turn cardiac arrest or death.
The chemicals numb your internal organs and your brain, causing potentially irreversible damage.
SLANG: Huffing, rush, whippets, poor man's pot, poppers.
SIGNS: Red or runny eyes and nose, paint traces on clothing, nose, mouth, hands, sores around mouth. Causes hallucinations, eratic behavior, dizziness, slurred speech.
Sheriff's Office comment: "How would a young person know to inhale Freon from an air conditioning system in order to get high? Usually by associating with others who have tried it or by learning about it while searching the Internet — joining chat rooms that discuss how to do this for a cheap and easy high. One can even find step-by-step instructions on how to do this and learn different ways to possibly avoid an accidental overdose. The truth is, there is no way to learn a 'safe way' to inhale any kind of substance. Someone who may want to try it once, may never realize the damage they have done to themselves, or live to see another day." — Sgt. Joe Scott
CHECK IT OUT: www.drugabuse.gov and www.inhalant.org
A designer drug created in a lab by combining various types and amounts of illegal drugs and chemicals. The pills come in many
colors and are usually stamped with a supplier's "brand." Most prevalent in teen dance clubs and rave parties and not really used in a widespread way among teens.
HOW USED: Pills, which can be swallowed, crushed and sniffed or injected
SLANG: E, X, XTC, rolls, hug drug, disco biscuits, the love drug
SIGNS: Sweating, elevated body temperature, jaw clenching, teeth grinding, increased heart rate, dehydration, hallucinations, loss of inhibitions. Can be fatal.
Sheriff's Office comment: "Because it is a designer-created drug the user never has a true idea of what type of drug they are
taking or how it may affect them." —Sgt. Joe Scott
CHECK IT OUT: www.whitehousedrugpolicy.com and www.adolescent-substanceabuse.com
Readily available to many kids as young as elementary school, marijuana use is widespread among teens and young adults.
HOW USED: Smoked.
SLANG: Pot, weed, grass, blunt, reefer.
SIGNS: Attitude changes, different, new friends, changes in clothing choice, problems in school. It lowers inhibitions, slows reaction times, impairs memory and makes eyes red and bloodshot.
Sheriff's Office comment: "Marijuana is considered the next gateway drug to harder drugs, such as cocaine." — Sgt. Joe Scott of the Youth Relations Bureau.
"Based on seizures and arrests, I believe that marijuana use is increasing in our county." — Lt. Nelson Shadrick
CHECK IT OUT: www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov and www.drugabuse.gov
A powerfully addictive stimulant that directly affects the brain. It is extracted from the coca plant. There are two forms — the powder form, and the form processed for smoking, which is called "crack."
HOW USED: Smoked, snorted, injected or sniffed.
SLANG: Coke, snow, happy powder, lady, nose candy, blow, crack, cola.
SIGNS: Red or bloodshot eyes, runny nose or frequent sniffling, restlessness, irritability, paranoia, decrease in eating and sleeping. Makes the user feel euphoric and energetic. Increases heart rate. Can be fatal.
Sheriff's Office comment: "Cocaine is rarely found among high school students in Collier County. It's usually older teens or young adults who use cocaine. The few students we have dealt with using these harder drugs have advised us that someone in their family has it, uses it or was selling it to others. Again, it was the convenience of having it easy accessible that provided the teen with the opportunity to start using these types of drugs in a majority of our cases" — Sgt. Joe Scott
"Crack cocaine is, in my opinion, at the top of the list of damaging drugs that take the heaviest toll on individuals, families and our community. It is very addictive and directly responsible for ravaging numerous families and lives in our county." — Lt. Nelson Shadrick
CHECK IT OUT: www.focusas.com
Commonly known as Coricidin Cough and Cold medicine that can be bought in any store, these small, red pills have three C's stamped on them. The Dextromethorphan (DXM) in these pills can be found in more than 125 other over-the-counter medications. Coricidin, however, has been moved behind the counter or in locked cabinets to prevent young people from stealing them and then abusing the drugs. Before the drugs were moved behind the counter, deputies would find Triple C parties in nearby woods, with packages left on the ground. Now customers must ask for the drugs so it's harder for kids to obtain.
SLANG: Candy, Dex, DM, Drex, red devils, skittles, Vitamin D
SIGNS: Blurred vision, excessive sweating, slurred speech, vomiting, numbness, redness in face, dry skin. Your heart rate accelerates and you have trouble breathing. Can be fatal.
Sheriff's Office comment: "This is a teen craze that quickly circulated in chat rooms and on the Web as a great experience and an easy way to get high, just by visiting the medicine cabinet at home or stealing the boxes right off the shelves at stores. Nationally, numerous reports can be found of teens and young adults found dead with empty foil packets lying around them from taking large amounts of Triple C." — Sgt. Joe Scott.
CHECK IT OUT: www.kidshealth.org
This group includes Xanax, Rohypnol, Valium, Percocet, Darvocet and other prescription pills often gathered by young people raiding their parents' or grandparents' medicine cabinets. Parents should check the medicine cabinets in their homes.
SLANG: Barbs, reds, candy, roofies (Rohypnol or the date rape drug), rope, juice, hillbilly heroin, candy, downers, xannies.
SIGNS: Feeling of well-being, poor concentration, impaired motor function, euphoria, drowsiness. Can cause respiratory distress and a coma. Can be fatal.
Sheriff's Office comment: "Prescription drug abuse among juveniles is here and appears to be coming on stronger with time. They think that because they come out of the medicine cabinet and are prescribed by a doctor that they are clean and harmless. But they are anything but harmless.To begin with, they are taking a drug that was never prescribed to them. They are usually taking them in improper dosages and with other prescription drugs and the effect is often lethal. They are not as obvious to the untrained eye and can be easily concealed from law enforcement and school officials. In many cases, they do not even know what the prescription drug is for. But if the label says 'Do not drive or operate heavy equipment while taking this prescription,' or 'May cause drowsiness or make you dizzy,' then the kid figures it will get them high." — Lt. Nelson Shadrick.
CHECK IT OUT: www.whitehousedrugpolicy.com
Now what have the parents who read this learned?
1. Poppers and Whippets are the same as solvents.
2. A designer drug is a mixture of illegal drugs. Ecstasy is one of them.
3. If the kid doesn't do well at school, has "strange" friends and changes clothing style, those are sure signs of puberty....no...sign of smoking marijuana.
4. The reason for ruined families is crack.
5. Prescription drugs = benzodiazepines
6. What is the infamous "date rape drug"? Rohypnol or GHB? Or are they the same?

I slept fairly well last night. I finally got up at 4:45.
This noon Bob and I will go to Independence and eat at Big Cheese. I still have the ham and potato casserole but he evidently missed eating at Big Cheese on Tuesday so instead of going to Joplin in this heat, we will drive up to Independence and have lunch at Big Cheese.
I want to vacuum this morning. I haven't got that done yet this week. With all the cat hair around, I need to do that at least once a week. I combed Missy again outside yesterday morning to try to keep the shedding down.
I will get back to this after I get dressed and ready for the day. I need to make my bed too and feed myself and Missy. More later...
Well, I got all that done and even took Missy out for an hour. She thoroughly enjoyed that. It was fairly cool with a light breeze.
I will pick up Bob for exercises and then go to Utopia after that. They are having birthday cake at the senior center today too for those who had birthdays in July. I may not be too hungry for pizza after all that. But that's the only things I will eat today. I seldom eat supper.
Leslie called this morning and we talked awhile. She has Sage in July..the entire month. She is so busy she doesn't have much time for telephone calls. She will be on call this weekend. I will be speaking at church on Sunday. She may not be there. Keith texted me while we were talking. He had made a deposit for me and was telling me that. I really appreciate the help the kids give me. My car registration is due in August. I just paid off the hearing aid this month and last month I paid off the car. Things should be less tight now. I hope to pay back my savings now. I had been hitting it nearly every month before the Blue Cross Blue Shield of almost $300. comes out on the 28th. By the end of the month I am nearly out of money and my rent is due on the 1st,
I have an hour before I pick up Bob for exercises. Maybe I can get that apartment vacuumed before that.
So more later again.....
I got the apartment vacuumed before I am to go to pick up Bob. I wanted to catch the CBS news this morning. Everything is clean now. I did the bare floors on Monday.
This is my younger son and his wife and his daughter. Scott will be 57 in November.
Lookin good...aren't they?
Bob picked me up at 11:00 and we went to Independence to eat lunch at Big Cheese. It was really good. We stopped at the church on the way back to check to see if there were any dead mice in the four traps set there. There were none and the traps still had the bait in them. We must have caught the only mouse last week.
This is my older son and his wife, Esther. They are so good for each other!
Keith will be 62 in August.
This is my daughter, Leslie, and one of her puppies. I don't have a photo of her husband, John. She turned 60 this month. .
My children are all senior citizens...but they have held up well.
I baked cookies after I got home and laid down for awhile. Bob came over to watch the CBS news and have a couple of cookies and then we watched Brooks and Shields on PBS and he stayed until 7:00. When he left, I watered the flowers on the east side and dead headed them.
Then I took my bath and watched TV with Missy until 9:00 when I went to bed. I was very tired again.

Shamanic Healing
Shamanic healing is a beautiful opportunity to clear the unseen & unheard from your being so that you may easily move forward towards your goals. The origin of shamanic healing is centuries old with all tribal nations doing some form of spiritual healing for their people and animals.
You will be pleased to know that it has evolved as per mankind, to be a more angelic experience with each Shaman bringing through their own unique style of healing. I personally work with sound, crystals, the elements and Spirit to help guide me with parts of yourself to renew, clear, and vibrate to a different more vibrant tune. It has to be felt & experienced to feel the benefit of a shamanic healing.
The length of a shamanic healing varies. I allow two hours for every Shamanic healing as everyones needs are different depending on what is being worked on. Some of this allocated time is my physical and energetic rearrangement of the clinic such as preparation and closing of the space before and after you leave.
Subsequent Shamanic Healing's are set up in the same manner with me. As an alternative to a Shamanic Healing, I have my customary Naturopathic and Kinesiology consults available. Please click here for prices and information.
