Eagels Wins over Archer

Its been almost a week of waiting.. and now the long wait is over..
and i can say that its worth thee wait..

2:00 pm of September 25 i was already in Cubao Gateway to be exact and just waiting for my friends and brothers to arrive. I saw lots of students and people wearing shirts of Ateneo and La Salle primarily because its thee UAAP 71st season game ender.. its a fight between Ateneo blue eagles and long time rival and depending De la salle Green archers.. After waiting for an hour and a half at last, i received an SMS message from my brother that they're already in the entrance of Araneta collesium, i rush in and run to pile of people who's on the same route I'm going. The weather is really not that good because a storm is coming but for me its just like the perfect weather for the day. Its like in the movies when two powerful character are about to give all they got on a fight just like a face off thing, there's lightning, thunder, dark clouds everywhere and cold wind blowing that gives me goosebumps.. Nways back to reality.. We went inside and look for our place, we sat at the left side court corner 2nd line after the lower box.. Then the game started with an explosive all people are yelling and cheering to their bets , well I did bet for Ateneo and sure I won! But I think, Ateneo and San Beda is the greatest rivalry of all ages! the eagle against the lions.. the blue and red! not the green ones... any who... just a comment ^^,

Every Scores that each team makes are like fire that heats us up and bring us to the edge of our seats, it was Ateneo leading in the 3rd quarter with 10 points over La salle, For a moment there, I thought LaSalle will pull through. But when the shots mattered most, they didn’t come. Then two of the most important players in the LaSalle bench, team Captain JV Casio and Rico Maierhofer (who allegedly gave Rabeh the dirty finger) were fouled out on the third and final quarter (ooopsy). my friends are like raising hell when fouls rains for la salle.. Good Job Blue.. (hihihi) I was again just sitting crossing finger while my fellas are screaming at the top of thier lungs thinking La Salle will defy the statistics. Statistics says that in 10 of 14 seasons, the school that got the first game eventually took home the championship. And the Blue Eagles did win the first game, so history and statistics were on their side. Well, La Salle also had its way of making history (like winning last year as comeback champions) and in those ten UAAP seasons, half belonged to the Green Archers.

I am also stunned when Ateneo was shakened by that 10-point comeback of LaSalle in the 3rd quarter, and making it to just a 3 point lead. For a moment, I actually thought LaSalle will win. JV Casio couldn’t stand the constant dumping of points that he had to step up one way or another. And when he rose to the occasion, the rest followed. (aww) It was a great series actually, just to see the DLSU Green Archers vs. the AteneoBlue Eagles in this year’s (2008) UAAP Men’s Basketball finals. I must say This is the best rivalry, it seems in college basketball. But at the end of the day, only one team took the championship.

And this time, it is the Blue Eagles.

To the comfort of the La Sallian community, well at least they put up a great fight. Ateneo was definitely the better team. Match-up wise, they have the better firepower. And give it also to coach Norman Black. This one was dedicated by his players to him, they even wore shirts with the number 24 at one point, a tribute to the number worn by the former PBA import (Black) in his jersey.

The Blue Eagles had arguably the best rookie in Ronjay Buenafe. And they too have the MVP in Al-Hussaini. It was just fitting to be crowned champions.

For the Archers, they’d live to fight another day. After all, they are arguably the most dominant team in recent years. Having claimed several championships in the tutelage of Franz Pumaren.

I was really amazed and overwhelmed, i really love Chris Tiu, Nonoy Baclao, Rabeh Al-Husseini, Ryan Buenafe, Jai Reyes and Yuri Escueta this guys really rocks inside the court they really made my day. (wahaha)

Too bad that during the awarding ceremony La Salle didn't show their sportsmanship for not claiming their medals and trophy as 1st runner up..

Yey.. And because i bet on the right team i got to have a free dinner in tiendesitas hmm.. did i spell it right.. wahahaha.. any who.. GO Blue Team.. to bad its the last Game for Chris.. T_T

"I Fear Dee"

I Fear Dee..

September 17, 2008 just a typical day for me, nothings new, nothing is change.

Exchanging smiles to people at the office, exchanging blah to people I talk with, surfing the web, listening to music, recordings and stuff, enjoying eating. Everything is too normal.

Until the clock hits 5:20 of September 18 the peace of mind that I had disappeared because of news I heard from one of my dearest officemates, whom I consider as my second mom, she just found out that her dad whose miles away from her died early morning of September 17.

She was screaming and crying. I run to her as quickly as possible not knowing why she’s freaking out like that. I manage to follow her in the ladies room and as I enter I saw the look at her face. I can sense doubt, questions, pain and eagerness.

Right after I hug her then I found out why she acted that way. Then other people came in to show there support for her. It’s obvious that she’s still in shock and nervous. She knows within her that there’s no way she can deflect what she just found out.

As we calm her down we went back inside our office. She sat down in her table and continued what she was doing before she burst out. She keeps on telling us that she’s ok and she’ll be ok.

I returned to my table having a blank mind then I sit back and look at the monitor of my computer not noticing tears that’s so warm running down my face, then I started hearing my heart beat so loud and then things started coming in my head like bullets that really gives me Goosebumps..

My memories bout my father started flashing and my brain keeps on showing things that I don’t like to see. Things that is possible to happen. If when, I don’t know? But I’m sure that its fear that I sense in me.

Fear of loosing my father, fear of going home without a father to see, being not able to talk to him permanently. As I cry silently I decided to pray and to call unto him. All of this year I was in denial about what I really feel for my father, I use to hate him while I’m growing up, But its just now that I realize that no matter how bad he his to me his still my father and I’m still his son..

Good thing that it’s not too late for me for us to catch up on things we missed. So to who ever is reading this you should be thankful for every person and love ones that’s with us right now, for we never know what future held’s for us.

You might wake up someday finding out that the one’s you love already went back to where life all started. So spend some time to your love one’s for time is not on our side forever.

We are Happy

"We are Happy"

Remember how we met? how we end up knowing each other?
at first your so tough and so snobby while I'm the joker of our group,
i use to ask to many questions and you just replied with a yes or no.
you always leave us and go to other places or sometimes you rather choose to stay behind than to walk with us.

i was thinking back then whats in your head..
how you see things and how you react on things..
i was so interested in knowing you not noticing that my senses abandoned my defenses that leads me somewhere a place I'm not so sure. during that day if you could remember we talk lots of things but we always end up on saying its a SECRET!, except when we all ready had a shot of long island hahaha...

we also exchanges lots of thoughts and comments in certain issues about our friends, family and our selves. we even talk about who has the coolest mom.. (finding out our mom's have somethings in common) hihi...

we transfered form one place to another not knowing time is passing by (tik tak tik tak)... I can even remember the look at your face when your friend Riva came and i didn't leave yet even i promised to go when she arrives wahaha.. (sowie) remember how you send me signals to go and leave... (but i just disregard them) peace..

the fun part is when Riva started to ask how we met and how we end up painting the town red together.. ( good thing we already talk about it in the wash room) hihihi... that time you are so nervous of what will i say and what will i ask.. (but i did find out some secrets thanks to Riva)...

can you still recall how long did we walk going around greenbelt, glorieta and shang? (aww my feet really soar after doing that) i think we walk miles just talking and talking... we even planned to sleep together somewhere.. i offered my place but your not so sure so i didn't insist anymore.. hehe

and then when we are about to go home while looking for a cab the rain falls leading us running under it in a dark street that I've never been.. i was soak that time..

then we exchanges our goodbyes... ( remember you left your cap in the cab that night) hahah..

after that night we started chatting every night talking and txtng day after day after day..
we even went out on your first day of work then everything came into place unplanned and unnoticed..

I'm glad that until now we're still enjoying being together (hope it will stay that way) and i hope that we wont change... your a kind of person that is hard to find but worthy to keep...

today was another happy day for us... i hope we can make more in the future but who knows... for now its better to just enjoy our moments together for nothings permanent the only constant in this world is change.. so as they say.. "let's live our life to the fullest"...

Thank you for being such a good friend "GeNE"
