high school basketball week.

this week has been really about my high school friends. the last time that i got to be with them for the whole week was way back in high school. it was only this week that, from tuesday to friday, i was with them the whole time. it's because marikina science high school is having an alumni basketball tournament during their sportsfest/sembreak. this week was the sportsfest week and next week's gonna be the foundation day/week. [inserted rant: damn the austerity measures done during our time: no prom, no sportsfest, no happiness.] '06 vs. '07 the first quarter was started and ended last tuesday but the following games were continued the next day. it's because it rained. great, right?! i'm actually thinking of saying that i felt the same feelings when it rained, but i thought would that change? especially when your really want to win. anyway, we lost. haha it sucks. [ben] go was right - di kami dapat masyadong kampante, kasi baka masilat pa nila. nasilat nga. '07 won by three points, and it was only the second time that they led. we were leading the whole game but we really got a few rebounds because they were way taller than us. and also, we could have won the game if only we were able to convert the fastbreaks [damn the very small ring]. '06 vs. '08 this time, we won. by a large margin. but still, our captain, casey, was not contented with how we played. it's because we were outrebounded by smaller opponents. and i'm still disappointed, coz i wasn't able to score. arggh. they say it's okay if you weren't able to make a shot if you won a crucial game. but i say, it's not okay if your team's winning by a very large margin, and you're still not capable of scoring. but despite that, i'm still happy that i got to hang-out with my barkada (coz' we're all part of the alumni team, actually everyone from our batch who's playing bball). and oh, here are some of the pictures of our games courtesy of essa. here's my jersey, here's ben and finney's jerseys. ultra sabaw. and thanks to our major sponsor: good morning towel for our towel. sabi ko sa inyo, masaya to eh. ahaha

i just really thought we were a team. man, they don't have to carry all of the burden. so questioned now here is our purpose. are we just there to fill up the line-up? for display? or so that they could present a so-called "team"? this is worse than the supposedly worst game. i'm feeling really bad right now. frustrated - that i could have help, but i was given a little chance. just a little chance. however, this case's not limited to me only. i could see from the faces and reactions of our "team"mates that they also feel the same sentiment. i even heard someone utter unconsciously something i don't want to disclose. i'm not really here to make a big fuss about what happened today. i just wanna point out that they don't have to push their selves to the limits just to win the game. it seems that they forgot the same words they uttered that they're going to let everyone in. hay... feeling frustrated, feeling bad. i hope the next games will turn out to be good. or even better. i'm sorry.
