I'm new here so I hope you guys won't mind if I revive an old thread...

Let's talk about anything and everything Larry Fonacier...

[ October 08, 2002: Message edited by: Dambuilder ]

i love LARRY...

too bad he has a gf...

I am infatuated with the guy. I can't help it. I read some old posts and yeah, I guess he has a girlfriend. It's cool with me though. So, you guys got any info about the guy? Trivial and not-so-trivial stuff? Like hobbies (besides basketball of course), music preference, and stuff like that?

well, he's a junior, ab i.s., he's 6'3", and an atenean all his life. in high school he was a member of section L, class of 2000. he likes r&b, and he has an adorable little sister.
and yes, he has a girlfriend.
he used to be my teammate, a long time ago in grade school, and we won championships together. twice.
he's got the sweetest jumpshot i've seen, and i've seen a few. always has had that sweet shot, ever since he was a shrimp in grade school. yes, he was a shrimp. kind of hard to believe, though.
that's about it. there's more, but we gotta draw the line someplace.
:cool:

Shrimp? What do you mean by that? Sounds pretty interesting...

Yeah, you said it. The guy knows his game. Sweet jumpshots and all...

You said there's more?

i sent u a pm. check your profile.

yeah, there's more...i'm just wondering when to stop. i might invade my friend's privacy.
i'm sorry, but the pm hasn't arrived yet. maybe later.
let's see...he's a shy kind of guy, never did really speak up much. very unassuming in that way, kind of mysterious. it actually shows in his game. he'd take the shots, but he wouldn't demand to be given the ball. sometimes i think it's a confidence problem he has.
on the other hand, he can get kinda wacky, so in other words he's just like all the rest of us. he can be moody at times, and there are some things he says that hurt, and he kind of knows just how to get to your soft spot if he wants to. but for the most part, he's just a playful guy who pokes comfortable fun at things and people he's already comfortable with.

i meant what i said about him being a shrimp before. i remember the time when he barely came up to my shoulder. now, i barely come up to his.

he used to wear no. 14. for all the teams we played on together, he wore that number, but of course rico had that first, so he switched to twelve. why twelve? you got me there.

for a long time i think he was scared of bj manalo. bj was like his idol, for most of grade school and high school. it showed before when we all used to play together; he wouldn't back down from anyone but bj. i'm glad he shook that off before this year. maybe he realizes now that he's got just as much game as bj does.

in other words, he's growing up. just like the rest of the human race.

now it's my turn to ask the questions. why larry?

correction lang...Larry was part of class 2000, but section M, not L. I was part of that batch.

Why Larry, you ask.

Well, I'm not really a big Larry fan but when he made those two awesome blocks, it made me see him in a different light.

The guy's got talent. His good looks was just a plus.

Thanks for your very interesting reply. I'll be waiting for your PM. Cheers!

sent u a pm again.

you mentioned those two blocks. my family made a really nice poster of one of them, and then we gave it to him.

and then next game, he went out and put 25 up on the board.

go figure.
i've always thought he needed a little ego-massaging to get himself going.

well bro, wherever you are, whenever you need some ego-massaging, text me. you know where to find me.

i'm not ashamed to say i might actually be his biggest fan. he is my friend to boot, after all. why shouldn't my friend be my idol too?

waaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

[ October 09, 2002: Message edited by: sunkissed_cheeks ]

We were talking about this pic in some other thread. The paper yesterday published a variation of the pbase picture. But Jake's pbase picture is definitely better.

What grad pic did you see? High school? I saw his grade school grad pic. My friend's brother has a yearbook.

You guys know when the Bantay Bata benefit games will start?

uhm.. his hs grad pic.. my bro has d yrbk kc eh..

Baka pinalitan niya sa 12 since it stands for the 12th letter in the alphabet which is L – for Larry and Lora. Swerte naman nung girl.
Just a speculation. Go Larry!

Wow! What a coincidence. That was really interesting and sweet too.

Someone messaged me Larry's short write-up in his grade school yearbook. I hope it's not too much but I figured some people out there might be curious. So, here goes...

"Never quit the battle; win or lose with honor. Strive to do the best you can always."

He's come a long way... Now, he's one of the best ball players around.

dambuilder: hey its me again. i saw larry kanina at mtb.. akala ko nga i wont see him na kanina e.. he didnt play along with the hosts but after the game, he's there na. ang cute niya soobra. he was all smiles pa. i sent u ata a pm but it's just the same message lang.

Man! I can't believe my luck. I didn't see that. And to think I was home at that time. Argh! Well... Better luck next time? Hope so. Hehehe! So... What was he wearing? Hehehe! Do you guys have any idea if they'll still be on MTB tomorrow? Just a thought.

Twelve! I forgot to tell you that there's a really nice pic of Larry in Chalk. I can't remember which issue but it's the one with Mark and L.A. on the cover. You have to check it out.

i dont think na theyll be in mtb tom but i think na mamya sa dong puno nandun sila. yup i have that copy of chalk. he is sooooo cute. ang cute talga sobra! may ginawa nga akong compilation ng pictures niya e.. pathetic ko na ata.

ei dambuilder! i 4got 2 tel u this.. i also hav d yrbk where u found larry's grade school grad pic.. he's frm 7-kostka ryt? classm8 nya pla bro ko.. ndon rin c atom araullo, ryt? ehehehe..
hmm.. 1M sha nung 1st yr, i wondered nga y he's seated at front dun sa class pic n un eh.. la lng..

[ October 09, 2002: Message edited by: sunkissed_cheeks ]

Yes! 7-Kostka nga. Talk about mini me. Hehehe! Even then, he looked cute, cuddly even.

I have no idea how he looks like in high school. My friends better whip out their brothers' high school yearbooks. Hahaha!

Twelve>>> Dong Puno? Oki! I'll be glued to the tube later tonight then. And hey! Care to share your photo collection? Hehehe!

Oh, I'm just wondering, what kind of car does he drive?

I'm terrible with cars so I'm not sure what kind... but I did see him twice this month driving a gold(?) vehicle. I'll try to remember the plate number for you next time, hehe

dambuilder: hehe! cge, ill send u my photo collection. i got them here lan din sa net e.. tell me your email para dun ko nalang i-send. dont laugh at it ha? its just the pathetic side of me.. hehe!

Thanks Trainspotter! Hehehe!

Oh! I almost forgot! My friend told me that the gang will be in "Game Ka Na Ba?" sometime next week. The taping was a while ago and rumor has it na si ____ daw yung pumasok sa final round. (I'm sorry. My source was not very sure about this and I don't want to spoil the fun) I guess we should just wait for the show to air.

And another thing. They will appear in "Ok, Fine, Whatever" tonight. Is it tonight? Not sure but heard they'll be appearing there.

Instant showbiz personalities na sila. Hope that won't get in their heads.

Dambuilder, I sent you a PM

hey i dig for larry too.. i watched game2 nga live and he played a very outrageous game! too bad they didn't win..the 25 of the 77 was made by larry..that's soo soo amazing! :cool: but he didn't play a 100% last game 3 because i heard he was food poisoned the day before... well anyway, i also have some pics with me.. do u have any infos pa?

dambuilder: sent u an email already. sent u a pm too.

There will be a game this saturday. Ateneo vs... I'm not sure but there's definitely a game this satuday, 2.00pm, and it's televised.

Hey, peeps! Any info on Larry?

Like... Where does he hang out in school?

[ October 10, 2002: Message edited by: Dambuilder ]

dambuilder.. sent u a pm. glad you liked those pics!

whoa! dami palang admirers si Larry dito. count me in! he has improved a lot this year. my uncle says that he's one hella sweet shooter. when he makes those tres, grabe, my jaws drop to the ground. parang he makes it look so effortless pa. and he doesn't look smug at all when his baskets sink in. neutral lang yung face, ma-shoot or ma-foul, same expression. smile naman! like this oh!--->

oh, have you guys seen the inquirer last tuesday? the one with Lora? kodak moment captured on film grabe. that was just so sweet. *sigh*

hey twelve, mind sharing me some of the pics too? i have some pics nga rin eh.. la lang larry's so great lang..

You said it! He's definitely a very good ball player. I read some really nasty rumors though in the "blue booger" thread. Something about academics. I doubt it though. Anyway, just feel free to share anything you guys know about Larry. No gossip though. Hehehe!

due to insistent public demand (mostly on dambuilder's part), i will continue to be your fly on the wall for larry.
what else would you guys like to know? nothing too invasive, the guy is my friend after all.

he's my classmate this sem and at first i thought he was mayabang... he looks so suplado kasi.

but then again, when he smiles, di naman pala suplado looking... in fact, mukha siyang sweetie na quiet.

he plays really well, and my gosh!!! that block!!! i swear, he's one of the best players around talaga. :cool:

Our teacher congratulated the team (we had 3 players in class eh) and when Larry came in, Bajjie and some guys were teasing him something like, star player yata or something, tapos he just smiled shyly. As in parang nahihiya siya na tinutukso that way. Cutie!

goodluck sa inyo na may crush sa kanya! i hope you get to see him around school more often.

too bad for me, gec chia will be gone next year... *sigh* i'd love to meet that cutie guy.

ciao!

hey hus d girl in the pic that larry's hugging wid>> pls rep asap! tnx>> :

Sino si Bajjie? Nickname ba yun ng isa sa mga player?

I must admit, nung napapanood ko siya sa TV, ang NR talaga ng hitsura niya. Nakatres na nga at lahat hindi pa rin ngumingiti o nag rerejoice. Nung nabasa ko lang yung mga posts dito sa forum, dun ko na realize na shy lang siya at hindi siya ganun ka epal. Kaya ayun naging taga hanga na din nya ako.
Pero nung nakita ko siya nung game 3 nung nagcecelebrate na sila, sobra ang cute nga niya.
Sana nag-aaral pa ako para makita ko siya sa campus.
Makamayan sana kita sa sabado.

that girl was lora gahol, larry's gf for 2 years(i think). she has a column in pdi's 2bu, called vanity fare. check out last wednesday's issue. did u mean the pic in pdi last tues? they looked really in love. did you see the way he looked at her? man, she's one hell of a lucky girl!

#4... si del Rosario... cute din yun... hehehehe... he doesn't play that much eh...

grabe yung pic na yun noh?! daming ngang heartbroken after seeing that pic. i remember seeing a friend's face fell after seeing it. pano ba naman, mukhang sobrang in-love yung dalawa.

haay....can i just name their future kid?! Lauren.... or Lara...

mukhang si larry yata ang pinaka-in love na blue eagle!

can't blame him, pretty naman yung girl eh and she looks nice rin!brokenhearted nga lang yung mga fans nya, let's wish them
luck na lang, hope they stay in love forever!
grabe kahit names nila bagay na bagay lora, larry. ok nga yung lauren or lara na name for their future kid! hehe!

kinda reminds me of another celeb couple with almost matching names: Andy Roddick and Mandy Moore (gosh, i hate putting their names *thisclose* to one another) Andrew and Amanda. Andy and Mandy

Kinda like Larry and Lora...

lahat sila in-love! masakehhhht! buto't laman pati sa balaaaaaat.... what am i saying? :confused:

Yeah! You guys said it! They are a lovely couple. And the pic... What can I say? It's such a sweet pic. So full of love and tenderness. You can find 2 versions of this Kodak moment. One in pbase and one in the papers (Inquirer). I like the one in the papers better. Mas sweet eh...

Have you guys read the papers today? Kamiseta has an ad with all the Kamiseta girls of UAAP Season 65 and guess who I saw? Larry's cute little sister, Ysabel. Well, I read on some other thread that Ysabel was chosen as a Kamiseta girl so... I assume that was her. She's so cute! Maputi, just like kuya. I reckon she's the youngest among all the Kamiseta girls. Heart throb in the making. I guess it runs in the family.

LARRY THE fffuuuccckkkface FONACIER!!!! Mukha kang TAE TAENEO!!!!!

Looks like our thread has been visited by a sour graping person... That's cool. Ok lang. We're still the champions!

Gosh, I guess that two blocks by Larry did make some sort of statement. Hehehe!

para syang may candy sa bibig tuwing naglalaro! hahaha!

ok taste ni larry when it comes to girls... sobrang pretty ni lora and koolasa pa! hehehe
