I was kinda nervous that morning before the game because I knew that UE was a tough team that plays with a lot of energy and emotion. Anything could have happened! Once UE gets their rhythm going, they're very very difficult to contain.
I had been meaning to blog about this as soon as I had read this last week, I just wasn't able to. Took me 8 days pa. Haha.
Coming from the red tribe, this was another disappointment and heartbreak. We were wishing and hoping and praying (na kulang pa rin, obviously) to defy another expectation. Rather, we faced another disappointment and added another year to the drought. :( Yes, it is truly a question of who wants the crown more. and Unfortunately, Ateneo want it more and eventually got it...
My friends, Reg ang Gu, went in line to buy tickets early that 8th of October. Reg at around 6.30, Gu at around 8. They were actually among the first few in line. I arrived by 10.30. Sumingit ng pasimple sa pila nila. Tickets were sold to us by 12.30? Gahd. Solo pa ang bentahan! Hurried lunch. Was about to get inside when we found out THERE WAS ANOTHER LINE! WTH? Pinapasok kami by 2pm. Our legs are hurting so bad already! Dinaig pa ang pagpila ko sa prc and dfa. Hahaha. Then when we got inside, we got good seats and waited for two more hours! Gosh.
All that struggle and hassle to see our team lose in our very eyes AGAIN! For the third effin time! HAHAHA! Oh well, WHAT'S NEW?! we are the heartbreak kids right? It just needs some gettin used to. Well, we are used to that trend na pala. Pero okay na rin. no one actually expected and predicted for our team to be in the finals, anyway. This will be the last time we'll watch live! NEVER AGAIN. Hahaha. Oh well, until next season again? Oh hope, don't fail us again! haha.
CONGRATULATIONS to the ATENEO BLUE EAGLES! :)
And after the yet-another-painful-loss, my friends and I headed to Tomas Morato to celebrate, NOT THE LOSS, BUT MY 21ST BIRTHDAY (Yeah, like a month after pa diba?! Hahaha.). This was supposed to happen a day before Ondoy hit our country. It's a good thing we postponed it na rin...
