Still perfectly sane

Before game day, there is a necessity. THE MUCH COVETED TICKET. Scoring a UAAP Finals ticket was more than tiring. It felt like all your means were exhausted!! I went all my way out to ask for tickets.  Good thing I had good back-ups so it was a little bit more than a piece of cake. 

Hooray for back-ups!

When I see them, I get this certain kind of goosebumps! In an instant, I feel like I'm already inside the Big Dome, surrounded by a sea of color cheering their hearts out. Oh my! Kakilabot! Oo, ako na nga ang fanatic! 

Then, it was game day. The day I was waiting!

I was so looking forward the game. FEU, my team. Ateneo, good roster of players. The two teams wouldn't claim a spot in the championship series without skills and heart. So it was really the game of the year! I have high hopes FEU will draw first blood in the series. They won twice over Ateneo during the eliminations round. They CAN win this thing! 

But the FEU fans were dismayed with what happened at the game. Ateneo came prepared for the game. Their defense was always up, their guards keep on knocking down every shot and they limited RR and Romeo's scoring to a single digit. It was indeed Ateneo's way. I have to commend them for that! They have the crown so the pressure is there to defend it. That was enough motivation for them. Ateneo getting the win in a crushing fashion!

But a fan will always believe. On my viewpoint, the Tams we're adjusting to the whole Finals atmosphere. Experience plays a big part in championships. Now that they had a taste of it, I hope that the coaching staff will get to take out some time to review tapes. Most importantly, I hope they can also get to motivate their players more. Both teams are hungry for the crown. Ateneo gunning for their third straight championship while the Tams wanting to tuck under their belt another championship in addition to their 19 titles. It is still anybody's ballgame! 

The road is still clear. With enough preparation, I know the Tams can bounce back from the loss and gain momentum. :) Can't wait for game two! Gear up, Tams!! 

Cheer up, girl! Get ready for game two!

Enough of the sad part. 

I had this plan since the Ateneo-FEU round two elimination game. My good friend, Timmy, bakes and makes the best cucpakes ever! (If you want to order, you can search Prime Recipes at Facebook) So I thought of giving the players her creations! As usual, she whipped up something special and yummy too!

FEU cupcakes!!! A must try!

Cupcake with jersey :)

This is what it looks like with the jersey # and name

The players we're nice enough to say "thank you" after I handed them the cupcakes. I hope they had the chance to taste it! Hahaha! My friends think I'm getting way over the top with the fan-girl gestures. All I can say is that namiss ko lang naman ang maging UAAP fanatic. Don't worry, I'm still perfectly sane!

To end this post, I cannot not share this pic of yours truly, MVP RR Garcia and his super nice girlfriend Jocel. They are both sooooooooo nice!

They're both super nice!!!

See you all on game two!!!
