proud to be thomasian

last monday (october 2, 2006) i have gone to school for a consultation for my thesis, the same day was the final game of the ateneo-ust basketball for the uaap championship title. because i have finished the consultation early i'd rushed photocopying the pages i have to read and then went to araneta to get a chance to see the game live. i tried my luck, the funny thing was i nearly got into trouble when i make 'singit' to one of the lines. so there, three types of ticket were only availabe, the upper box,lower box and general admission, but the problem was there we're only a hundred tickets left and still the line was too long. so i just decided to go home and watch the telecast instead.

before the game started i'm really not expecting the tigers to bag the championship knowing that ateneo was a good team. the game was really one of the greatest game of UST i have watched. it was really heart pumping especially in the side of the yellows where the blues were leading the game on the first half. but the second half shows how driven the tigers were to get the ten year long wait for the basketball chamionship title. you could really feel, especially if you've seen the crowd, how being in the community felt the spirit of being in a team. the support was really admirable with that yellow balloon and ust signature chant going on( ' go uste..go go go go... go uste..' * i know you know it.. haha ). so there, the game ended up with the ust tigers' two point lead to victory.

that time i really felt happy for the team and the whole community as well. proud to be thomasian indeed. knowing that a month ago another thomasians (ust salinggawi dance troupe... wuhoo idol !!! ) have made history for being a five-peat champion to the uaap cheerdance competition. from their remarkable moves and tosses and stunts!!! very smooth, swift and graceful. suave! hehe ... plus i heard the women's basketball team also got the championship...whoa what a year.

well i guess that really shows how talented we thomasians are. it's just putting things in the right track. quoting from one of the ust tarps: "uste's unending grace"... truly it has.

proud to say that before leaving my college life here in the royal and pontifical university of santo tomas, i have experienced the glorious moment being in a community of proud thomasians!
