it's jov's birthday today!

met up with my roomies today. it's been so long since we've all been together. it's unnecessary to tell all details here, but the point is: i really miss dorm life :(

----------

also got reunited today with UAAP basketball. today's the opening of the UAAP season, and the eagles won against the bulldogs (or NU tigers, according to mar :p). i guess it's really hard to get it out of my system.. watching basketball games, that is. UAAP basketball, specifically the blue eagles, have been part of my life since i started college, and my friends and i have been supporting them since then (win or lose, it's the school we choose!). but then again..

i think our team sucks this season. we won, but it was a tight game. and i'm sorry, but it was ONLY against NU. if it's difficult now, how will they fare against tougher teams? also, there are still some players who haven't improved (calling ford arao, doug kramer and macky escalona) despite their experience.

on the other hand, there were also some pleasant surprises. jai reyes -- this guy really lived up to his hype (well at least i think so). he's even better than macky escalona and chris tiu. eric salamat -- this was the first time i've seen him, and even if he only played for a few minutes, i could already see that he's really good. lastly, yuri escueta -- yes, i actually included him here (hehe). although i'm not a fan of his new hair-do (or the lack of it, for that matter), but i'm glad to see that he's improved, although his performance was still not that great. kuya olsen would be proud.

sidenote: what happened to emman nazareno and jobe nkemakolam (did i spell it right?)?

oh, and the brass band sucks. their rendition of the Song for Mary was sooo slow, people actually sang faster and louder. it was funny, actually.

til the next game.
