The things we do.

Sunday, September 21, 2008 . Something big is gonna happen. Well, at least for Ateneans and La Sallians.
Yes, you guessed right.
The last Atene0-La Salle game for the UAAP Season 71 will be on Sunday.
Will I watch it live?
HELL YEAH.
My semester won't be complete if I miss that game.
Better yet, my sophomore year won't be complete.

This game is important for many reasons:

1. It will decide who will move on to the finals. Quite disappointing really. I was hoping that we'd go against La Salle in the finals. Oh well. But we better win this. I'm totally going to be depressed if we lose. :(( I don't wanna be a sore loser but I do hope we win. The team has been working extra hard. They deserve the glory. :))

2. It's going to be Chris Tiu's last game against La Salle. Such a shame really. I wish he could play for another season. XD But that's asking too much from him. And you can only play for 5 years so his time is really up. But we're definitely gonna miss his presence in the court. He's been an awesome player and clearly an asset to the team. I feel sad just thinking that we won't be cheering for him next season. :(

3. It's the first game I'll watch live this season. Yeah, I'm a loser. I haven't watched a single game live this year. So I'm really looking forward for this one.

4. I went through hell to get a ticket. And I'm gonna through hell again just to get a better ticket. Last Monday, Araneta released the first batch of tickets. After our Theo class, we rushed to Ticket Net hoping to buy tickets for the Sunday game. We got there 10:30-ish. But imagine our horror when the line was already two/three blocks long! Literally hundreds of people were already in line. And some of them weren't even Ateneans! But we decided to push our luck and still lined up. What infuriated me was when they announced that they ran out of Upper B tickets! We waited for more than two hours! So in the end, we only got Gen Ad tickets. GRRR. To make things worse, there were a bunch of jerks in front of us. I wanted to strangle them. Idiots. But enough about that. Tomorrow, we're gonna go to school really really early so we can buy better tickets. No sleep for me again. :(

5. Watching that game is the only chance I have to wear my "It's Tiu's day" shirt. LOL. Yes, I'm a fan. So sue me.

Ah, the things we do for a basketball game. haha.
