People, especially those who don't really know me, usually think I act to mature for my age, poised, and all grown-up. Well, probably if you are one of them, you would think twice. Haha. :D
It was a good thing that classes were dismissed early yesterday and we had no classes for today because of the career orientation. Maybe you're wondering why, it's because more than 24 hours ago was the clash of two of the best schools in collegiate basketball - De La Salle University and Ateneo De Manila University. The "Thrilla in Manila".
I am an Ateneo fan. Hehe. :D And I was screaming, cheering and just acting really wild with excitement over the intense fight. Who wouldn't be if you're such a fan? Plus, there were 10 deadlocks in the game and the rival teams just kept on answering each other's shots. It was really really intense. Even my mom started screaming (by the way, much noisier than me). Hahaha.
Right before the end of the game, a family friend of mine texted my mom. Guess what? CLASSMATE NIYA SI CHRIS TIU! I don't know if I have mentioned this before, pero crush na crush na crush ko siya! Wah! Then, just in time, Chris Tiu nailed his three pointer from the corner stretching their lead to four against La Salle (hmm... I sound just like a sportscaster! hehe.). There were few answers from JV Casio, but when he fouled Chris (ano to? feeling close? hahaha.), Ateneo got the chance to put this rivalry to the end because of the co-captain's 80% shooting rate from the free throw line. Finally, after four quarters and an overtime of competition, the Eagles soared above the Archers. 80-77.
Since I already mentioned about the whole I-am-crushing-on-Chris-Tiu thing, I found out something. All I knew was that he is taking up Management Engineering (ME), but what surprised me was he is taking up Applied Mathematics: Finance. In other words, he is a DOUBLE MAJOR! All I can say is that, WOW! What more can you ask more of this guy? He isn't just a handsome face, but a brilliant student, an effective leader, and a morally upright person (based from his interviews, you can really tell if a person is raised well by the words that come out of his mouth). And mind you, I rarely see guys like him nowadays.
Hahaha. So now you know how crazy and passionate I am with regards to collegiate basketball. Yeah, I was jumping up and down, up and down, running all over the house, screaming just because of Ateneo and Chris Tiu. Haha. These are just the simple things that make me happy.

life's sweetness..
The sound that sting one's ears, the smell of damp paper left outside to humidify and dehydrate, the unconscious minds and treacherous hearts were all but a part of the melodrama.
