I had the greatest time of coming back to the Araneta Coliseum to catch the game one of the UAAP Finasls between my alma mater FEU Tamaraws and their finals arch nemesis, the Ateneo Blue Eagles last Saturday. The best part was that I got to watch it with my dearest Paps and my sister Tin! (though we're not seated together. we were together through text messages while the game is going on hehehe) I was seated beside my buddy Timmy (do you think calling Timmy my buddy seems boyish? hehehe maybe we'll call each other chums nalang.. but too cheesy) who came late due to the full parking spaces! I fetched her from the coliseum entrance just as the second quarter was about to start! She was practically there for a good one hour. Atleast diba? We shared chikas in between time outs. Why? We were seated in the section where it's a mix of Ateneo and FEU. When I say mix, it means Ateneo domination! Hehehehe :)) So hard to cheer when you're surrounded by die hard Ateneo fans. Seryoso! Yung cheering nila nakaka goosebumps! Minsan napapasabay nga ako eh. Natatauhan lang ako pag nakikita kong naka yellow pala ako at finaflash sa screen yung mukha ni RR Garcia! Hehehehe
FEU had a competitive 1st half. Romeo was shooting from all angles forcing a tie at the end of the first half. However, Ateneo made adjustments entering the second half. Most FEU players became invisible and was limited offensively. According to Coach Bert Flores, nawala sila sa game plan nung second half. Ateneo played perfectly ika nga nya.
On my point of view..
Did history repeated itself? Last UAAP season where I also watched live, the Blue Eagles won in a dominating fashion. Tinambakan din ng Ateneo ang FEU nun. I had to hold back my tears. SERIOUSLY. I always tell people that it's perfectly okay for them to think I'm crazy or over reacting, because it's just how I am. I am basketball crazy! I remember crying when Ginebra lost the championship back when I was in elementary. I cried before going to sleep while recalling how Bal David gave his all. Hahahaha!
Or am I just bad luck? Sabi nila wag daw sabihin yung malas, pero sa case ko mukhang totoo e. I have a perfect recall on this one kasi it happened once. Hehehe :)) The only time my team won when I watched live was during the elimination round of the UAAP Season 73, Ateneo versus FEU. After nun, di na naulit! Imagine my extreme happiness when FEU won! I remember giving a high five to a stranger sa sobrang tuwa ko HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Game two is happening tomorrow and instead of looking for tickets, I've decided to prepare my bedroom, my cheers and school spirit. Patron tickets in my room, baby. I'm doing the Tamaraws a big favor by not watching live. Hehehehe =))
Let's go Tamaraws!! May the force be with you.
