DERMA PROBLEMS
i'm having an allergy attack. it started last night, tiny red spots sprinkled on my skin. it's not itchy but it's kinda frightening. looks like German measles. Still don't know when to go to the doctor. Didn't get my CT scan results pa. Now, this... What could be next? Malaria???


CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 2
shux!!!!!!!!! this could be the year. I do not want to rely on my guts but we have bigger odds in winning game 2 because we won game 1. I dunno how that makes sense but for the team, it feels right. Kasi, they have a very big psychological advantage. Parang the players can tell themselves na KAYA TALAGA NILA. They can take and beat LaSalle anytime. Higher confidence, hence, higher chances of believing that they can win the game. LaSalle players on the other hand, is riddled with doubt. Kahit ano pa ang sabihin nila to assure themselves that they can win game2, the point is, THEY HAVE DOUBT. That's all it takes to crumble a strong team. They wouldn't admit it, pero i'm sure kinakabahan na sila. Even if aminin ko pa na they are the better players in terms of skills and maturity, they are doubting they play and maybe even themselves right now. The EAGLES have to make sure, however, that they give their heart into the game sa start pa lang. If not, babalik ang confidence ng LaSalle. Baka hindi makahabol if they let the archers take a big lead.

HORRIFIC TICKET-CLAIM EXPERIENCE
Thursday - reservations for game2. bucky's bro reserved for himself, bucky, me and wong. UpperB. Most in line made reservations last thursday. from what i heard, people lined up last thursday 5am just to get good tickets. upperA wiped out.

Saturday - 7:30 am. The dingy, age-old university athletics office hallway was packed with alumni who desperately want to get hold of tickets for game 2. the office was open but nobody was inside. there were no clear instructions. people had different versions of how to claim the tickets. people started to get their tickets but mayhem was starting to boil inside the office. Capistrano was nowhere in sight. when i got in to inquire about the procedure, the staff people assigned were so confused with the listssss (there were 3 stapled yellow-pad all starting with Num1 - geez, so how do they control the actual number of tickets that they can give for a particular box????) there was a line for those who reserved personally and a different line for those who reserved through the phone. People couldn't find their names on the lists, some people got other people's tickets, even those without reservations at all were able to get tickets!!!!!!!!!! SO FREAKIN' UNFAIR. A mommy was shouting about corruption and palakasan. She even threatened the poor staff that the press/media is going to know about what happened. she complained that kung wala kang kilalang Jesuit or hindi ka nagbigay ng malaking pera or nag-sponsor ng building, hindi ka mabibigyan ng magandang tickets. (TRUE, TRUE...) In her anger, she swore never to watch any of the remaining Ateneo games.

WALANG SISTEMA. HOW HARD COULD IT BE TO MAKE A SYSTEM THAT WILL WORK FOR EVERYBODY'S ADVANTAGE. I'm doubting tuloy if the University Athletics Management can still do its job effectively and efficiently. Ateneo graduate naman si Mr. Capistrano di ba? SO WHY THIS STUPIDITY?
