1 pm
i got out from the office. ride the lrt to meet up sheng in taft. we rode mrt and arrived at araneta at 2pm. on the way to gateway i told sheng that i dont want to see the word "sold out" which came to be realistic when i saw it on the screen in ticketnet! so there, we were one of many people who's ticketless. scalpers were all over the place but we were hesitant to approach them. we dont know how to start and we're shy. but suddenly, there was an angel that fall in front of us! she asked me if i do already have ticket. i said none yet. i though she just wanted to know 'cause she too has none. but as fate would have it, she sold her gen ad tickets to us! yahoo! we were so lucky because of all people we got it for only P50! haha! it was cheap because the price of gen ad for a sold out game is P100 from scalpers and it can go higher if there will be a bid. that was a lucky start, for all we know it was... :(
3:30pm
we were on top of araneta coliseum with sea of blue people. we were not seated because the place was jampacked. so again, we were standing all through out the game. i think anyone could feel the intensity and heat of the game. both schools wanted to win but there'll be only be one winner and that was came to be the archers. how did it happen? their shots was perfect. they defense to chris and ford were really stiff and they out-rebounded the eagles. the phantom calls also against nonoy really hurt the team. it was a painful loss. i was really hurt. and much more to me are the players. during the alma matter song, i could see how they were so hurt to the important game they badly needed to win to head on to the finals. eric even cried. chris was really down. while the greens were so happy. but that' it. after the 5 rounds of battle the archers will go back to taft rejoicing. while the eagles will have to go to katipunan scarred.
after the game
the blue eagles head on to Gesu to have a mass. as i've noticed chris was badly hurt.
upon waking up at 4:15 in the morning today the first thing that came to my mind was the loss. grabe, di ko na kayo toh. im soooo sad. huhuhu. lahat ng pangayayari nagfflashback sakin. upon arriving at the office i checked the forums in atenista.net. there was this guy who were so bitter about what happened. he's kind of blaming chris and the eagles. for me it's unfair because chris did his best to win it though medyo kinapos kahapon. he was tagged as a "cardiac kid" and "the big game" for nothing. he was the one who saved ateneo for losses over al lasalle for the 3 wins they had over them and yet he's the one to blame? i just don't get the point. chris has still 1 year eligibility but no one knows if he would still play next season. according to the forums also, he was even convinced by ateneo to play for this season. chris, management engineering grad and is about to finish (if not already finished) his double major in applied mathematics of finance. if he decides to suit up again next year (Chris please do!), he'll probably have an economics honors degree under his belt too. (wow! dreamboy talaga!) chris made his own name. he is an ateneo star. they even sell shirts that is about hi. the one thay i really like is TIUperwoman with a T logo just like superman. galing!
for every game super walang patid ang asaran sa araneta. ateneo's side: "wrong spelling" (haha! dlsu should blame it on their pep squad); "suspended" (well, totoo naman eh); and the one that i think really hit la salle is the statement shirt that in front reads "I passed the ACET" at the back "I'm sure YOU didnt" (Boom!) that is why they made a huge tarpaulin that has " #374(not sure) #488 'NUF SAID" (that's the world rankings of both schools. dlsu's side: "nu" (and so?); "bawal TIUmamba" (3 wins tsamba si tiu? sus!) hay, college basketball.. ansakit sa ulo. hehe
GO ATENEO! ONE BIG FIGHT! 'til next season!
