BigDome. Basketball. Coke. BLUE.

So you've probably heard it by now. Ateneo won yesterday. And yes, we were there at the dome. I, Pam, Meg, Kyle and Nikka.

I consider every Ateneo-La Salle game a story for me. From the torture of obtaining tickets to the edgy game to the food and incessant stories and hyper-laughter afterwards. Weird no? We've watched the game together but then we'd still talk about it excitingly as if we've never seen it. Neway, just the thing of getting the tickets was a story in itself. Ang hirap hirap hirap makakuha ng tickets. But then, my agent Erica was able to snag four for us. We dropped by at her dorm the other side of the gate 80 steps downstairs from Ateneo before heading to Araneta.

I had this one thing. This stupid guard and this equally stupid and annoying staff get the two digital cameras brought by Kyle and Pam. But then inside you could see flashes everywhere. And they were digicam flahes not camphone flashes! It was downright unfair. I didn't let that incident ruin my watching of the game na lang.

Anyway, I'm already a supporter of the blue eagles since my high school days. Ateneo-La Salle matches never failed to do get the extreme thrill and ecstasy out of the audience. Yesterday's match was no different. Halos dikit na yung scores during the last five minutes of the last quarter. They were switching over the lead. Every second was really tense. Kumbaga, nagkakapraningan na talaga. It was way way too fun.

Asa pa La Salle sa overtime. And take note of this: yung damang dama nilang wave is a UP original. The UPians have done it during the opening game with La Salle. Nag-wave yung UP. Aba ginaya ng La Salle, tuloy na-boo.

So here's the top 5:
1UE: 13-0 4UST: 8-5
2Ateneo: 9-4 5FEU: 7-6
3DLSU: 9-4

My alma mater UP? 13-0 ata eh. I'd just wait for the cheerdance thing next week. Definitely we stood a very big chance of winning there. Wag na men's basketball.

I'd like to congratulate Nikka, for for the time she was able to ride on the mrt. A great leap from the usual car car hatid sundo. Good thing you didn't get lost dear. Kundi lagot ako. Haha. I'd plan for the next game. Save more money. And be smarter on smuggling the digicam. I'm also planning to sleep at the Athletics so as to get upper box a/bor even lower box tickets naman.

Next time. blech. =P
