I should have been there at 9AM but wasn't able to make it since i was told late, and i fixed my clearance from ICT... additionally, i was wasted.
"come back before 1:30PM for the test."
alone, i walked to the MRT station to o to my mom's office to get my DLSU upper a tickets... as soon as i got there waiting for the train, my mom told me that i'd get it at araneta... again, alone, i walked to shang to burn more time, i ate, bought a leather case for my phone, and bored myself to sleepiness... 1:15, i got back to B.Braun to wait for 1:30... 1:30 came at 1:50PM... IQ test was going to be for 15mins, and whoever passes it could move on to the next tests... scene: wasted, sleepy, and anxious for the game, i had to pass an IQ test in 15mins to move on to the next tests and get hired... no pressure...
it was the fastest 15mins of my life... i was about to start test 4 out of 4 when the person came up and asked for our papers... demmit... needless to say, i missed out on that chance, but the good thing about it is that i had the chance to get to the start of the game!joe, esme's whatever, asked if i wanted to drop by at the Coffee Beanery in Gateway regarding a 1-day hiring of Dell... illogical as it may seem, i told him i'd rather pass on that than pass on the game...
history lesson: every team meets twice during the UAAP season.. FEU beat UST bad in the first game and they beat UST again on a game that could've given us the chance to be 2nd... La Salle was beaten by Ateneo in their first outing to notch their first win against their blood rivals since Norman Black took over as head coach... That did not go without controversy as DLSU asked for a review as Kirk Long(USA) and Zion Laterre(AUS) were on the playing court at the same time at one point of the game, which must not be as only 1 foreign player is allowed on the playing court... on their 2nd meeting, La Salle was out for revenge, but a Yuri Escueta kickout to Chris Tiu for a 3-pointer gave Ateneo a lead La Salle was not able to break... Rico seemed to be fouled before time expired, but no call was made... La Salle just accepted their fate, but that meant Ateneo beating them back to back...
Monday: FEU vs UST for the last slot at the final four, FEU did well in the first quarter... but a 2nd quarter rally gave UST as much as a 22-point lead, a lead UST was able to at least sustain to get the win despite a furious late-game rally by FEU who employed a hack-a-japs strategy...
Tuesday: DLSU vs ADMU. i was sitting right behind the Ateneo bench, having been given a patron seat by Tita Nene... one thing i learned from that game: putanginang gwapo pala talaga ni Chris Tiu... linis ng mukha eh... anyway, Ford Arao proved to be the difference for DLSU as he powered the Ateneo Eagles to their loss... on one sequence, he missed 3 tries: 2 under the basket and his last being about an 18-foot jumper... Jayvee Casio fired on all cylinders on the second half after a poor showing in the first... Cholo is again Mr. Consistency as he anchored the DLSU offense and defense... TY Tang hit his patented stop-and-pop jumpers at the right moments... Ateneo had Nonoy Baclao manning the paint with his excellent wingspan for rebounds and blocks... Yuri Escueta and his butt ugly face still was like a wild monkey playing on the court, but was able to play well at the point... Ateneo big men dominated the rebounding department, and free throws were of opposite outcomes, as Ateneo missed i think just 3 while La Salle missed about 10 of 16... in the dying seconds, Ateneo missed a chance to tie the game on a Jai Reyes floater, but had another chance at a tie as Arao caught it for 2, yes 2, tries right under the basket before someone tapped the ball out, and Jayvee Casio cauht it... he passed to Cholo, who would probably be the best foul shooter on the floor at that time... however, he missed on the first, but made the second... Ateneo had no timeouts left, Jai brought it across, was denied a look as he jumped, so he passed to Zion while he was in mid-air. Zion shot the ball and made it, but it was for 2, the margin was 3, 0.1 seconds remaining, and La Salle finally beat Ateneo this season....
both teams lost to their foes twice this season... but when it mattered most, they pulled off their wins.... and how sweet it is...
now, we have a chance to beat the team who made a lucky shot to beat us this season.... i wanna watch the game and shout my lungs out against "that" team... I don't watch NCAA much... I do only when Mapua is playing... Kelvin dela Pena is a joy to watch, plus Neil Pascual and Joel Banal.. anyway, i also didn't watch their cheerdance competition... Che's sister just told me that San Sabestian mimicked the oh-so-famous "Go Uste" cheer by chanting "Go Baste"... first thing i thought was "yuck." but i thought she was playing... then came the juniors NCAA finals between San Sabestian and Letran...
when you watch games regularly, you'd get to memorize not just the cheers, but also the drumbeats... and while watching the juniors game, i heard the drumbeats that souned so familiar to me.... it was the preparation for "go uste"... demmit... ever think about "identity"? yuck... no offense to people from "Baste", but c'mon... at least have the decency to come up with your own cheer... what's your student population? and no one from your school could think of something original? "go uste" goes like "go uste (3x) go,go, go, (3x) (drumbeat) U (drumbeat) S(drumbeat) T, UST Tigers!"... i would like to wonder what they cheer during the part of "UST" but then again, yuck. basta. shet kayo. kadiri nyo. maisip naman kayo ng sarili nyong cheer. yuck. ue naman naging coach lang si Dindo, pde na gamitin un "Go la salle, go go la salle" na cheer... yuck din. pero magaling team nila. pero kahit pano, swak naman un cheer, un lang naman eh... pero "go baste"? Y-U-C-K.
uu kadiri tlga! nadidnig ko dn un!
