Seedbook 3: The Game

I was happily munching my food while my dad was browsing through channels. Then I remembered that there is a replay of a certain UAAP basketball game in Studio 23. I asked my dad to switch channels, he was kind of pissed while telling me that there is no live game today and they'll just be showing replays. I answered him politely, I told him that I know they'll just be showing replays and I just want to take a look at it. So he switched the channel to Studio 23, and to my delight it was the DLSU-UST game lat August 28. I was so happy to see it because finally I will have a chance to watch it. I did not have the chance to watch it before because I was busy studying for a final exam. This was the game where Maui Villanueva 'saved' the game from going overtime.

Then I remembred the first time I watched a championship game. It was last year; UE and DLSU were battling for the championship crown. My friends and I watched it live in Araneta. It's really fun watching a baskeball game especially if it's live. There is something with the intensity of the game and the adrenalin of the crowd that makes you want to watch more live games. It's really different when you watch the game live and if you just watch it on TV. When you watch it live, you can cheer your lungs out without anybody scolding you, you would feel the disappointment of the crowd, especially the alumni, when one player doesn't do well, the pride on your part if your team wins. Unlike when you're just watching on TV, you can't do the cheering without people telling to cut it out because you're starting to become like a crazy baboon, you can't sing the hymn because you would end up as laughing stock in your family and some other things.

All of a sudden I recalled that there will be a game tomorrow between DLSU and FEU (again!) and I am totally disappointed because I can't watch it live. I hope the Archers win and the FEU crowd will stop being so pathetic by chanting "Luto!" tomorrow ad I also hope that FEU realize that they lost Thursday's game because of their turnovers and not because some DLSU people paid the referee. While typing the last part, I remembered that in last year's championship game, the UE crowd also started chanting "Luto!" when they realized taht DLSU would win the most coveted crown in the UAAP. I hope tomorrow's game will be clean and fair, I hope there would be no bad calls, I also hope that the green and gold side doesn't get so pumped-up cheering "Luto!" IF EVER DLSU wins tomorrows game, PEACE! ;p And lastly I really hope that I can watch another live game before this season is over. :)
