Ooooopsie... That didn't sound quite right! Hahahaha!Oh yeah, well, it's true naman in some sense... What I really mean is: Fantabulous Faffy starred in Blue Rep's Hope for the Flowers... shinortcut ko lang... hahaha!Last Thursday, Nath and I went to Ateneo Rizal Mini Theater to watch Hope. Syempre we're both so excited to witness Faffy dance in tights, leotards, spandex, tutus or what-nots... hahaha! Hmmmm... Na-imagine nyo ba? Hmmmmm... (Mental picture processing and conjuring slowly comes into focus...) **shocked** OMG! Hahaha! Whattasight! Hahaha!
So as not to prolong your anxiety, here's how Faffy looked that night...
Sayang! Kala ko pa naman Thrills In Frills na toh! O kaya Mumu in Tutu! Hahaha!
Faffy did a great job naman in fairness.Ü Ei Faf dear, hindi naman talaga magiging serious part yung entrance mo after the butterflies eh! The butterfly ballerinas entered one after the other dancing and tiptoeing and swaying their arms above, around and about tapos biglang ikaw yung sumunod na lumabas! And doing the same tiptoeing thing! Of course people would laugh! They thought na pati ikaw magpapakita ng ballet talents mo! Hahaha! That would be a sight though! **wink**
Here's their final tableau...
Faffy's now crossing-over... he's now walking into the light... he's now a Dyosang Butterfly! Hahaha!
Oh yeah, after the show and the heavy downpour we ate at T-boy Katipunan... Oh sorry, lumamon at lumagok pala kami! Ate! Tsss! That was a darn understatement! Haha!Twas nice seeing you last week. I missed your company a lot! Oi, next time sumama ka na ha... para kahit wala yung iba, complete pa rin tayong apat na lagalag! Hahaha!Where were the other FX people??? Where have they all gone??? Faffy, what's that again? Buti na lang may mga katulad kong members na hindi bitter or envious of you? Haha!ÜÜÜ
October 3, 2006. 3:00 p.m.
Third and last game of the UAAP Season 69 Championships...
And I was there! I was soooooo there!!!! Yeah.... in Aranetaaaaa!!!
Woot! Woot! Woot!Exciteeeeed! The smell's soooo nice... the air's soooo cool... the crowd's soooo - - - - sikip! Fffft!!! Hahaha! What the hell, who cares?!? I don't! Coz halos 2/3 ng crowd naka-dilaw! Yebbah! Woooohooooo!
The gruelling two-hour game began with this huddle...
Aaaawwwwww gosh... they really look like a champion team noh? Hahaha! Oh well, don't blame me. I gotta love mah own.Ü
At hello where was I?!?!?! Magkahiwalay kami ni Nath! Yeah yeah yeah, I was a-l-o-n-e in Upper Box A... Pero wala akong pakialam! Cheer kung cheer! Picture kung picture!
Lookie! I took pictures of myself just to prove it to you! Hahaha!
(**mimicking that black girl from Step Up**) Uhmmm... hello??? Are you lost or somethin'???
Dilaw -- Asul... Yellow -- Blue... bluntly put, UST -- Ateneo...
Ei dudes, are you guys color-blind?
This would just be one of 3 things:1.) you REALLY are color-blind (Either you can't see the colors correctly or you can't distinguish one from the other)2.) you are looking for trouble, or,3.) you gave up all hope and decided to side with the Champs.
Oh well this wouldn't be an excuse for you...A wolf still in wolf's clothing... Hello?!?!? You'll never belong...Pruweba, mga tsong at tsang!
0 - 2 First hoop of the game -- Tigers...
0 - 4 Second hoop -- still Tigers...
50 - 51 Beginning of the Fourth Quarter... sus, Tigers pa rin...
64 - 64 End of Fourth Quarter! TIE!
OMG! Tie!!!! Anak ka ng tatay mo -- TIE!!! Punyetik talaga -- TIE!!! Waaaaaaaa!!!!! This was the longest last two minutes of my life!!!! Golly goolay! I never felt this emotionally mixed-up!!! Seriously, I never thought I'd survived those last two minutes... my head was throbbing from all the shouting, my throat's dry and scratched from all the cheering, my heart (and all my other internal organs!) are caught in my throat because of the suspense, my knees are wobbling and weak because of the tension and my mind's whirring because of the fact na ponyetah do-or-die at make-or-break 'tong larong 'to at tie pa!!!! Fffffffftttt!!!!
Can I take this any longer??? 5 more minutes, Reich... 5 more minutes of that same killing pressure... Bakit ba ganito??? Buti pa sa tv walang ganitong pressure... Poocha pag-live mamamatay ka talaga sa kaba! AS IN! No joke!
If you felt like this at nasa bahay lang kayo nanonood, good for you! If you were there, I'm sure patay ka na siguro ngayon... Hahaha! Joke joke! Pero kidding aside, PROMISE TALAGA nakakapanghina and nakakamatay yung pressure... Nag-resurrect na nga lang ako eh... Haha!Ü
Of course, dahil UST ako, I didn't take any pictures of the scoreboard when Ateneo was super leading and pulling away (and never did it enter my mind to do so din naman)... Natahimik na lang ako. Napa-upo. Natameme. At taimtim na nagdasal LORD! PLEASE! PARANG-AWA MO NA! PANALUNIN MO KAME!
But hey, those untaken pictures don't really matter now. do they??? Hehe!Ü
At eto na... after the 5 killing-me-softly-but-gravely-and-painfully minutes....
WE WON!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD, WE WOOOOOON!!!!!!!
And where was I when this happened??? Anak ng tokwa! I was crouched at the back of the last row!!! Last 4 seconds na yun and we were on the foul line with 74-75 on the scoreboard... di ako matahimik kasi baka maulit yung Game 1 na 0.8 seconds na lang na-shoot pa ni Kramer! Darn! Kaba kaba!
With 00:04 on the clock and UST on freethrow, I hear and feel everybody's heavy breathing... 1st shot... tsk tsk tsk di pumasok... ok ok... we have another shot... 2nd try on the foul line... PASOK!!!!!!!!! Actually, I didn't get to see those 2 shots take place, I just get the hint of what's happened and happening from the shouting of the people around me... Hahaha! Tapos wala nang tigil yung sigawan... I thought they were all so excited kasi Ateneo needs to make a 3-pointer na (at hindi na lamang 2-point easy hoop) to win the game... But I looked at the scoreboard Ateneo 74 - UST 76 and the time??? The time!!!! 00:00!!!! OH MY GOOOOD!!!!!!!!! 00:00!!!! CHAMPION KAME! CHAMPION KAME! CHAMPION KAMEEEEEEEEE!!!! I shouted, I shrieked, I jumped up and about, I clasped hands with my katabis and I almost hugged a katabi na hindi ko kilala! All that I did kasi potahna, CHAMPION KAMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok ok... enough with the champion kame **widdest grin evah!**... Here, up close and personal... Namnamin nyo!
Ahhhh... Di nyo ba maintindihan??? Ganyan yata talaga pag natatalo eh, nanlalabo at nandidilim ang paningin... I'll make it crystal clear - - - Ateneo 74 - UST 76... WE FRICKIN' WON! Fyi lang naman, baka sakaling you also missed that... Hehehe.Ü
And yeah, I almost forgot to mention, this banner sent shivers down my spine...
I was there on both occasions ... 1996 and Season 69... I was...Indeed, they relived '96 in 69... WE did... UST did...Aaaawwwwwww... Hanep... Bilib... Galeng... **dreamy dreamy**
Whew! That's my update about my live-in-Araneta UAAP Winner-Take-All Game 3 Stint!
See yah again next year, Big Dome, when we hungrily come for a repeat!Ü
Oh yeah, here are the phun-phun-phunatics!ÜÜÜ

Maraming salamat po sa inyong mga dasal... sa inyong mga suporta... sa inyong tiwala... it was God's grace that brought the UST Growling Tigers and Tigresses to the finals... it was God's grace that saw the UST Growling Tigers and Tigresses through the finals... truly, the Ateneans have fought the battle well... and we could not ask for a better opponent... the two teams have shown what true sportsmanship is all about... that basketball can indeed be a gentleman's game... that a player can play without hurting their opponent physically... two teams that deserve to be called champions by their respective university... this is one championship game the UAAP will not forget... one that UST can NEVER forget... our salutations to FEU and ATENEO...GO USTE!!!! GO USTE!!!! GO USTE!!!!!! GO GO GO GO!!!VIVA EL TOMASINO!!!!!VIVA STO. TOMAS!!!!P.S.Congratulations din sa UST Taekwondo Team, Swimming Team and Salinggawi Dance Troupe.

We Thomasians are not big talkers.Really.Compared to Ateneans, we are, as others would put it, the silent minority.We just let the winning do the talking.
WOOHOOOO!!!
CHAMPION KAME!!!!C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N ! ! !
I sooooo love spelling that out. **wink wink**
