UAAP Season 78

The past UAAP season was chaotic! I felt a lot of emotions. So chaotic I don't know know how to express them in words... 

It all started when the whole team was impatiently waiting for the coming season... Around an 11 month wait!!! Finally opening day arrived and we won!  We won again the next and the next game, so far undefeated. The season looked promising. Next game was against the season favorites... Forgive me for saying this but I was ready to accept our 1st defeat, I was gladly mistaken! We won again! Then we suddenly lost maybe, a sign of a lil complacency or the hungry defending champs just had enough of their losing streak. 

The 'family' made me so proud to be a loyal fan fighting game in and game out! I really felt that we would make it all the way! As the elimination round came to a close, we were on top! Imagine?! On top of the standings! A team no one even talked about! 

We battled the defending champs to be able to reach the finals and set a date with the preseason favorites.

At this point my heart is still aching with the results. No point in documenting that as every single news/fb/twitter knows what happened. 

Let's just move on with the good things: *my school spirit has been on a high

*bonding with my friends 

*watched UST vs UP round 2 live

*watched UST vs FEU round 2 live

*watched UST vs NU Final 4 live

*watched UST vs FEU Finals G2 live

*watched UST vs FEU Finals G3 outside MOA Arena (should have not given up finding those magical tickets coz my track record this season watching live is great! (see above) As my friend said, kami ang kulang eh! kaya kapos!)

To end this I would just like to reiterate! I am proud of the Growling Tigers for their accomplishment! 

I am a PROUD THOMASIAN! 💛🐯💛 

*The crowd that everyone wants to be a part of cheering the LSS and pride inducing GO USTe cheer! 🐯

Tadhana

Sa hindi inaaasahang
Pagtatagpo ng mga mundo
May minsan lang na nagdugtong,
Damang dama na ang ugong nito
'Di pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat
Na hinding hindi ko ipararanas sayo
Ibinubunyag ka ng iyong mata
Sumisigaw ng pag-sinta

Ba't di pa patulan
Ang pagsuyong nagkulang
Tayong umaasang
Hilaga't kanluran
Ikaw ang hantungan
At bilang kanlungan mo
Ako ang sasagip saýo

Saan nga ba patungo,
Nakayapak at nahihiwagaan
Ang bagyo ng tadhana ay
Dinadala ako sa init ng bisig mo
Ba't 'di pa sabihin
Ang hindi mo maamin
Ipa-uubaya na lang ba 'to sa hangin
huwag mong ikatakot
Ang bulong ng damdamin mo
Naririto ako at nakikinig saýo
Hooohh... hoooohh...
Hooohh... hoooohh...
Hooohh... hoooohh...

Lalalala...

Sudden Urge to Blog

I just had to write this down...

I'm sad and happy at the same time...

Readers:

Don't try to figure it out, just had to post this for my memory....

Feeling Blah

Sometimes I enjoy being single... Sometimes I don't... 
Today, I don't...

I really want to watch the game but since my friends are busy or not interested, I can't... Believe me, I contemplated to watch alone... On second thought, what fun would that be? It would be better to watch in the comfort of my own room...

If I wasn't single, I would have someone to 'drag' to watch with me... 

New Year, New Life?

Okay, it's 2015...

So what?! 

Let me see, what happened in 2014…

I guess, it’s just the same old stuff… I keep wishing for things to change… 

Maybe as they say, you got to put the work for things to change…

Here’s to no promises for 2015 but instead I’m ready for 2015 to surprise me! 

Looking Back

2013 was not a very good year...
Let me try and think of things that happened to counter this...

• Realization that a lot of peoples loves me & my family
• Family
• Friendship
• First trip to Coron
• Trip to Bangkok

It's kinda hard to think when all I can think of when I remember 2013 is that it took my dad away from me... 

Goodbye 2013!!! 

2014 please be good to me do not take away anyone I love...

Going With the Flow

Another year is coming to a close. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Some may say that just going with the flow is the best thing to do. Some are right to say that but what if going with the flow becomes boring? What if going with the flow does not make me happy anymore? What am I doing with my life? 

Two of my friends got married this year, yeah!!! 2 of them freaking got married already, I guess if I blink I'll just wake up one day and all of them are married. 

My friends are going up the ladder, doing what they love to do. A little tired but still happy to do their jobs. Do I have the courage to pack up and leave? Do I have enough motivation to be strong and brave the challenges 2013 has for me?

Thinking Out Loud

Maybe it’s all the 90’s music I heard today… Maybe it’s because of the series I watch… Maybe it’s just me thinking out loud… I feel old… I feel that time is slowly slipping by…I feel left behind… My friends and family have great careers, great love lives, great lives in general… Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with my life… There are just moments I feel sad…
