I am not really an athletic person. But I do love sports, most especially, basketball!
I have been an SMB fan ever since I was in the 6th Grade. Allan Caidic is my favorite player and the number 8 above my signature is mainly because of my fanaticism along with the lucky connotations as to number 8.
Anyhow, I cannot remember the last time I watched (as in really watched and not just flipping channels) a PBA game. I guess since I started working before, I just read the news and check out who lost, who won and who is fighting for championship.
I got ecstatic when I read that Barangay Ginebra will slug it out against SMB for a slot in the final four of the KFC PBA Filipino Cup. It was again one of those series that I am pretty sure would be pretty exciting. I just read the first and second game - how it was won by SMB and Ginebra respectively and how exciting the games were.
I was hoping to watch the third game but we attended mass and went to SM. By the time we got home, finish na ang game.
After reading some Negotiable Instruments Law Bar Questions, gi-tamad ko and I decided to watch TV and flip channels. Lo and behold - there is a replay (at last meron na jud!) and it's still second quarter. For the next hour or so, I watched the game intensely. SMB was behind by 21 points at the most around the 3rd quarter but SMB was able to narrow it down and win the game.
I was sad that Racela got rejected for a flagrant infraction (yah right!) early on the game that I did not see him play. I guess the SMB guys became fired and before I knew it, it was raining tres! I think I really am a big fan of tressers (kanang ga-3 points ba!) - Caidic, Racela and now, Hontiveros .. hehe. Ever since he was playing in the MBA, I was keeping tabs on Dondon and I was happy that he played for SMB.
I was so intense in watching the game that I was raising my arms for every shot SMB made. I was shouting in mute mode (natulog naman ang mga tao) for every 3-point shot.
Pero eto ang kicker: I already knew that SMB won the game before I saw the replay!!! My dad told me early on that SMB won even if Ginebra was leading by 20 points early on. O, ha .. ultimate na talaga ako .. hehe ... na-excited sa isang game na alam ko sino ang manalo .. haha! Ganyan siguro ako ka competitive when it comes to sports . hehe!
Anyway, I just find it weird that Caidic was in the sidelines for Ginebra and that I was cheering for SMB (by the way, I am so happy na hindi na Magnolia ang ginacarry nila na brand name .. hehe). But that is how the cookie crumbles. I also find it weird that the coaching staff on both teams - Tangquincen, dela Cruz, Caidic, Ravanes, Calma - were PBA players before. I remembered that game for 3rd place that SMB won against Sta. Lucia were Coach Siot was the MVP and Caidic was a hero as well with his 3 points. In that game, just before the 4th quarter started, Sta. Lucia was ahead by 20 points pero nakahabol pa rin ang SMB. Maremember ko iyon kasi 3rd year HS ako and may Chemistry exam the next day pero nanood pa rin ako ng TV. Medyo mahina ako sa Chem kaya super happy when I got 86 for that exam .. hehe (Sana ganun din epekto sa Nego kahit nanood ako ng TV the night before .. hehe)
Actually, I still have a lot of stories as to my basketball career. Let me rephrase that - as to my basketball fanaticism career. Sana manalo ang SMB against Talk N' Text .. hehe
Oh well, yan muna for now.
Eto lang ang masabi ko .. I am so pumped up right now! hehe
