No Elated Atenean Spirit Tonight

So... Yeah. You probably know.

We lost.

I'm sad. Just really sad. I mean, I'm not sad for me. I can take BS from my Archers friends and cousins. I've put up with it for 3 years.

I'm just really sad for the players and other students who are graduating this March.

I watched the game with several seniors and a super senior, and it just broke my heart to see their faces when the final buzzer went off. It was kind of their "last chance" to see our team win, and maybe get the trophy. Technically, it's not their last because they can always get alumni tickets or see it on tv, but being a student and watching the game is different. It's like being at the epicenter of an earthquake. The energy is just that much.

And Araneta bleachers are made of wood... I think. So when people stomp their feet, it really fells like there's an earthquake. Scary.

WIN OR LOSE IT'S THE SCHOOL WE CHOOSE

I am regretting the days when I didn't care about the UAAP. It did shield me from the jeers of the other camp (well, not so much), but the joy and camaraderie and school pride that I could have gotten out of it would be so worth the taunts.

I am truly sorry about the times that I shrugged our team off saying, "Yeah, we suck. We'll never win that." If only I had Hermy's time turner, I'd go back in time and smack my head so hard it'll go further back in time.

I can't imagine ever saying that from now on. I've seen how hard the team played, how they worked their asses off just to win. And I know they can do it. I am sure they can win. They are good enough. They are great people. I don't know them personally, but I know they are wonderful people and that they are very talented. Whatever happened tonight, I am still so proud of them for having come this far, and maybe even prouder for taking it like true sportsmen.

I was just asking my friends awhile ago if our team had some sort of fanlisting or something, because I really wanna tell them how wonderfully they did and that 3rd place isn't something to be ashamed of. Nobody thinks lesser of them for that. I am even honored to be going to the same school as them, and Ateneo is truly blessed for having them as her team. People who fight like that deserve our respect.

I was kind of planning on just walking up to one of them and shaking their hand and saying, "It's an honor." But I think they'd freak out or something. And I don't know where to find them.

I'm just sad for the players who have played so well and so hard and have now come to their last year in ADMU, but have never tasted the sweetness of a championship. I really feel that they deserve that, but oh well. Life's like that.

I wish all the players would still be able to stay for another year. Get an MA or something. Sigh.

I hope that the Blue community would never lose hope.

There's still next year.

We can do it!

We still believe!

Uhm... Lovely Night?

Okay, tonight isn't exactly lovely.

It's just really... dreary.

Strat Plan sucked like hell. Friday night, I didn't know that we had a deadline. I thought the paper he made us do last Thursday was a group paper. I didn't check my email because 1) no internet here at home Thurs night 2) I was cramming for our one and only Philo long test.

So I didn't see the mail that said that the Global Trends Paper was due the next night at 7pm and it was an individual paper. If only I knew about this, I would've done a lot better. Well, maybe a little bit better. My paper was just full of BS. Really. Well, maybe a chunk of it, because we did discuss some of the things I wrote there. I just didn't cite sources to prove that the global trands I mentioned were really global trends. Argh. I wish I can keep my B class standing. I'm not asking for an A. Just a B will make me really happy.

Actually, an A will make me happier but that's like asking for Chris Tiu to like...talk to me or something.

Speaking of him.

No, I'm not gonna go all gooey and cheesy and fuss over him here. (I already did that in a previous post and I hope nobody read that) I was waiting for my file transfer to finish so I thought, why don't I google him? After all, I was wondering what his full name was. Christopher or Christian?

So, I found out that it was Christopher. Hmm. Why don't they just use the Topher part? Like that dude in That 70s Show. I guess Chris is faster to say.

Anyway, I stumbled over this blog post about him... And it kinda said everything that I wanted to say about Chris. Oh, and that I am really proud that I'm going to the same school as he is, and that I wish he went to SJCS, just to give my high school some glory.

Here's the blog entry I was talking about.

He's Prince Charming personified.

So the blogger said. Rightly put. I bet his parents are so damn proud of him they don't know what to do to express it. I kinda wish I'd be able to make my parents proud like that. I mean, basketball and acads at the same time? I'm not even that active in my orgs and I already get sucky grades. He trains all the time (someone told me the basketball team trains before and after class. what energy!) and is still a consistent DL. I mean... Wow. Just wow. I mean, that alone makes me admire him a whole lot. Throw in the looks and his down-to-earth attitude...

Just perfect.

Oh, and I read somewhere that he was in a Master (the facial cleaner for guys) commercial. I can't remember. Well, I think I do... But very very vaguely. And I can't find it on YouTube. Ah, sucks.

Well, all I can say is, he'd make a girl really really really really really 10-to-the-amouny-of-money-Bill-Gates-has-power happy someday. Or even right know. Don't know his status, don't wanna know either. :)

Oh, and to share a text message about him.. Really corny so don't read on if you hate this kinda thing:

ATTN: Fr. Nebres: "Church of the Gesu to be renamed Iglesia ni Christiu." For more infor, text ILUVTIU to 2366.

I just wanna say that this is kind of unfair to the other players. Really. As much as I admire Chris, I saw how hard Araw and Baclao and Reyes and even Long played last Thursday. I mean, Araw had what, 17 points? Or more? That deserves our appreciation guys!!! The Ateneo Blue Eagles are a TEAM...not just one person.

Oh yeah, and someone said that Chris was like a demigod now. I kinda-sorta agree...based on the way people talk about him. But I wouldn't wanna use that term. I find it a bit...blasphemous or something. I don't know. I see him as more of a celebrity.

Go, celebrity culture.

Shemay!!!!

Ok, after like, what, a month of not checking this blog out, I completely forgot about my chatterbox. Now it's been deleted. Argh! I hate myself. I wanted to keep it going for a long time, and maybe be able to look back at the stupid things I said on it.

ARFGHG!!!!!! &%&^$(&)*(!@%#_)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I wanna stop thinking about that now. This week is stressful as it is. I'm just gonna install a new one.

Ugh. I hate myself!!!!

Anyway, I've got a vat of choco sundae... Nevmind the fat. I just wanna get this week over with!

Comres and Philo, here I come!!!

P.S. I've so much to tell... Oh well. Sembreak = 4 weeks away
