UAAP 2003

I stayed up until 3 am to catch the Ateneo-La Salle game live. Last week kasi, I taped it and then watched Breakfast before I watched the tape. It was a big mistake since Bam Aquino and Ryan Agoncillo gave all the details away before I could find the remote. Nawala tuloy yung suspense. Anywhoobers, what an exciting game! I was all alone in the middle of the night, covering my mouth while swearing and screaming at the TV. Katawa talaga. I was very impressed with Larry Fonacier. He's cool, calm, and consistent. When he's on the court, he just means business and I think the other players (as well as the alumni!) could learn a thing or two from this guy. What I didn't get was why Ateneo was giving up the baseline in the second half of the game. It gave Joseph "F4" Yeo to do his acrobatic shots tuloy and allowed La Salle to get back into the game (and consequently, almost gave me a heart attack). I also didn't understand why Wesley Gonzales was even put in the last quarter. Naging panggulo lang and almost took away the team's concentration again like what happened last Thursday. If he were put in there to psych Joseph Yeo out, I think it was already evident during the first half that no trash-talking could ruin Yeo's focus. The more you talk to him, the more he was determined to show you that your talk is trash lang nga. I am looking forward to more no-sleep nights to catch the rest of the games. Ang saya-saya!
