Benigno Aquino III as law last May 15, 2013. The Department of Education came up with a very good plan on how to develop and help the country and its citizens through quality education that would require additional years in school particularly six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School and two years of Senior High School. We always say that time is gold. But this new law definitely deals with the saying, “Patience is a virtue”.

The NBA Finals is always highly anticipated because it showcases unbelievable basketball talents. And at the end of the season, two of the best teams in NBA will face each other playing to be called the best team in the world. This year, the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat enter the finals bringing with them pride and honor for their respective conferences and competing for one goal, to win an NBA title.

Lebron’s decision made noise to NBA and to the world and made him even the most talked about player in the league throwing different intrigues and comments against him. A lot of doubters and haters emerged especially when the Miami Heat lost to the Dallas Mavericks last 2011 blaming Lebron James’ “immaturity” as a player. But after that disheartening loss, they regrouped and he proved to be a better basketball player learning how to pass the ball and to shoot the ball better, attacking the rim and drawing fouls against his opponents.

Basketball never stops. NBA 2013 Finals has been a battle of different basketball eras. The San Antonio Spurs already has four titles and is trying to get their fifth ring this year while the Miami Heat only has two titles and will hopefully win their third one this season. A lot of people thought it would just be easy for the Heat to beat the Spurs because they are perceived to be a stronger and younger team compared to the Spurs composed of the ever scrutinized, 4-time season MVP and last year’s NBA Finals MVP Lebron James, 2006 Finals’ MVP Dwayne Wade and the other member of their big three, Chris Bosh. The addition of Ray Allen, Chris Andersen and Rashard Lewis give the Heat the depth and also their other players contributing in defense and offense.
