So happy for the team-- especially Miah, Kyle and Chino. They've worked their shots since freshman year, persevering like their lives depended on a goddamn basketball game. Haha This half-year around even... and just yesterday, IAC team Love-is-blind (what a name i know) finally won the finals!!! And though I usually find myself charbroiling the bench til the wood grew stems (just kidding), what seemed like a totally blatant testosterone match ultimately came off as the perfect chance for all of us to achieve something great. Not just good. Great. And we all did just that yesterday at around 5:50 pm. Mabuhay! Cheers! Haha! :)

"Love is blind.. but we are not!" Haha!

Last Saturday. Well, I woke up to the sound of my mum's hearty laughter. Tossed me out of bed. And she wus snickerin like she hadda be mixin some cauldron downstairs. Adobo lang pala. Hehe. Didn't exactly know why she was laughing but all I knew was I ended up not being able to finish that greek shtick dream I was having. Anyway, I remembered (after being literally tossed out of bed) that I had to help her at the clinic that morning so I got dressed. Of course after I took a bath. And I wore the scrubs those nurses had to wear... Looked like a damn.. jedi. Ok so in the clinic, I was assigned to arrange the meds in the counter, those enervon drops and other stocks of drugs we had. Daming drugs... We held some sort of an outreach to the poor. So I was there all quiet and all then all of sudden, 9 am brought one of the longest lines I've ever seen in my entire life. Beats my "pristine" exposure to discovery channel by 800 miles. And the lines weren't the lines you'd regularly see while flicking metro news channels at night with calamity-stricken masses pleading for dole outs. Way different. "Mga buntis, dito ho!" I shouted. But then again I realized they were all carrying their respective juniors so I just had to bare with a scattered long line. The doctors prepared the prescriptions while I was doling out like some madass politician on campaign in Surigao. It was tiring but really fulfilling.

So then I went home around 230. Took a short nap then went to hang with Fran a bit. It was really fun.. til the choir gAng did some "almost nightmarish" (Fran's words) humming and chirping at our backs while we were walking in Ateneo. Haha

Then that night, my friends backed out on me one by one so I bugged Maxine to creep out of her pad (lives beside the bar) to watch Kapatid with me at Bubblegang Toppings at Katipunan. And she did! Thanks, Max :) The band did play two times before reaching Katip-- at Robinson's Metroeast and Halo Bar. Hardwork. Galing sobra. Beyond the words man.. It fascinates me to watch a live band pull it together, individually playing their hearts out on stage. To me, it all transcends the melodies I hear or even the stage. It's a lot more than just the red horse. These guys are genuine musicians who deserve a break. People should support them all the way. And so they played several songs from their new album, which will be out in mid-Jan. I was all ears. Amazing, amazing... They were late for the set but I didn't mind it. Severo stalled, singing a beerhouse version of some Earth Wind and Fire song hehe I think I got home at around 3 that time.
