Divine Intervention?! (UP vs. Ateneo)

Gosh. Is this true? (If you can't see this clearly, ADMU: 58.. UP: fuckin' 68)
The low-profile, ever defeated UP Fighting Maroons DEFEATED the ATENEO BLUE EAGLES (ehem. Champions?), Sunday, July 27, 2009 on a very rainy sunset in PhilSports Arena (Ultra), Pasig City.

And, of course, I was one of the stunned children of God that witnessed this very very unexpected game.
Now, I can say.. Nothing is damn impossible.

That was a rainy afternoon. Angelo, a very special friend of mine, treated me with a lower box ticket to the game.. He was pissed off when I got there late. (ehem, almost an hour.)
So we entered the arena, 3pm-ish. and seated there with some Ateneans. It was Adamson Soaring Falcons vs. DLSU Green Archers.
The game was pretty close. It's so intense, there's a five minute overtime.. But DLSU grabbed their victory.

What made me more nervous was when I realized how notorious the Ateneo crowd can be. I mean, they were like "hoy! adamson! wag nyo panalunin yung mga BOBO!".. And they were cheering for any opponent DLSU has.. They also insult the crowd, telling that the "green" crowd was heartless. "parang nilulumot" in some way. hahaha! Cool people.

Before the UP vs. Ateneo game started, Angelo and I found some seats on the Ateneo side. Of course, I would still go with him even if I'm cheering for UP.

But then, I think I got the best seat in the house.. because I was in the middle of the cracked crowd of Ateneo. Across the arena, there was the FORTUNATE FEW UP Maroons. I think only 20 UP students were seating on the lowerbox level. Almost all of the UP crowd was seated in the Gallery Area (general admissions). I guess only 80 students attended that game. (minus the pep squad)

Throughout the game, everyone was looking at the scoreboard, thinking "is this fuckin' possible?!" During the first half, the Ateneans were obviously confident that they would win.. The score was still close, and the Blue Eagles was able to keep UP's advantage short by scoring every after a Maroon goal.

OK, Half time break. Ateneo performed. (haha.)
Then the UP Cheering squad performed. Even without pompoms, they nailed it. I mean, REALLY NAILED IT. That was the best routine I've seen live. (yet.)
you should just check that out on YouTube. It's beyond words.

2nd half. The tension is really building up our side (Ateneo side).. The big guys in front of me were kept silent as I scream my voicebox out whenever UP steals and shoots a basket. (hmmm. So you can guess how painful it is for me to shout everytime they score.)

Angelo was cheering his heart out for his team, of course.. And, because I was on the Ateneo side, I hear their cheers and drums louder.. Gosh, you can't imagine how jumpy my heart is whenever they bang their drums. =P

Hmmm, but hey, it was fun, because my voice seemed louder when I cheer for UP when I'm seating on the Ateneo side.

CRAP. they rain threes.. they shoot. I mean, this is my first ever live game.. but, I can't believe this.. I heard from all people how the UP Maroons suck. I mean, the whole nation says UP Maroons suck at UAAP Basketball. Now, what kind of "sucking" is this?!

The last minute. I noticed almost all Ateneans were holding their cellphones. and they're somewhat silent.. I guess they were texting their friends about the game. No one will believe it. But hell, who cares about how many will believe. It happened. Hands Down.

Hey, Angelo was pretty nervous. He cannot believe it. I think I really pissed him off (and his blue-shirted schoolmates) because I kept on cheering for UP. I was jumping and screaming all over the place. (poise? bye-bye.)

OK, so, finally, the game ended..

hmmmm.. It's morning already.. I think I'll let the world speak about this unbelievable crap.

As for me, I'm tired. I'm sleepy. My voice cracked. My legs hurt. My eyes droopy..
MY HEART FULFILLED.

07-23-09 (Random. Random. Random.)

It's been soooo long since I posted a blog.. It's not because I'm busy or anything, hehe, I don't consider myself busy because I'm still wanting more. (what?)

Anyway, This is supposed to be a random post. So..

1. I'm known as "The sexy dancer" in our Freshie batch. It creeps me out because some people just greet me and say, "hey, you're the sexy dancer right?" along the corridors of Palma Hall. Crap.
2. Why? Mainly because of Daniel Frago. He kinda forced me to dance during our Freshman Orientation.. (which I won.)
3. I love my Philo11-Logic class. Hehehe! It's the hardest thing I have ever known in my life. I mean, the class is great! Our professor, Mr. de Villa, is very funny.. especially when he curses "yung mga skul sa tabi-tabi".. (with respect to other schools)
4. He told us that studying LOGIC is important.. "Lalo na kapag pumunta kayo sa Starbucks dyan sa tabi-tabi, tapos may lumapit sayo na gwapong inglisero.. Itanong mo, IS THIS ARGUMENT VALID? If P results to A and Q..."
5. But then, the "legendary" long exam in Logic is making me nervous as the days pass. No one knows how to answer that stuff (except for my PhilSci alumni classmates).
6. Next to my Logic class is Badminton. And the really significant thing about it is that everytime I attend that class, it rains. I mean, it's raining effin' hard.
7. I joined the Volleyball team in Bacbacan 2009. Bacbacan is like a sportsfest initiated by the CBA council. I'm so excited! Hahaa! our first game is against the TERMINALS (5th year BAA students) Yikes! Well, respect the elderly! =)
8. Rodic's Tapsilog is one of the best meals I have taken.. I actually travel 6pesos a day just to get to UP shopping center and eat tapsilog. hahaha! If you're visiting UP, make sure you try it. =)
9. Hmmm.. Math 17..? not that hard. I still score some touchdowns there.. And besides, I'm super inspired in that class.. I have a crush on a guy named.. (gosh, I'm too shy to say his name here..).. My friends already know about it, and they say my crush looks like my ex-crush in CMSHS. (what?!).. Haha!
10. I'm still one week away from an ADB dance concert.. I'm practicing every Saturday, and.. guess what song was assigned to us..? JAI HO! Crap. I wish the costume is not that revealing or anything! Keep your fingers crossed!
11. My ADHD attacks again. I do crazy hiphop stunts at home. I don't know how to do it but I think my body really wants to release a very harmonic pleasure through hiphop. Weird.
12. UPCAT is coming, Good Luck, Seniors!
