Doing What I Have To Do
T___ I___ !!! This place is just F___ S___tty !!! But -- I gotta job to do -- So I'll do it to the best of my ability then take my flight home. The Sights and the Sounds [and the Smell] of this place are just horrible. The organization of the whole event is F___ Up, some athletes were complaining about the deplorable conditions in the classrooms they were staying in, the football field has a smell [Man, it stinks to the high heavens!], Jeez ! Grabe Talaga ! But that's just me and I can only speak for myself.
The high point of my trip -- Nada.
Well - I saw some UAAP Volleyball, Football, and Basketball friends and acquintances. A few snaps here and there, some good game photos -- some calling cards given away to advertise this blog. WiFi all night long . . . . What else is there to do here ?

setting the stage for an FEU-UST championship match.

- - where a non-call by the referees [which leads to a goal by DLS Taft's opponent] triggers a confrontation between some DLS players and the refs.
DLS Taft Coach Hans Smit files an official protest the same day.
The next two photos show Alyssa Valdez and Gretchen Ho in a huddle
sometime during the Ateneo Adamson match.
Teeth, Tongue, and Sweat -
No, this is not a toothpaste or mouthwash endorsement thing . . .
. . . I simply have to put captions to make my blog a little more interesting.
Ateneo beats Adamson in three sets but is eventually eliminated by CPU the next day. Adamson, meanwhile, goes on to win two [one is vs UST] consecutive games, after the loss to the Lady Eagles, to advance to the Finals.

With barely 5 minutres to go in the DLSU Taft-vs-UNO-R
Men's Football Championship Match
and the Archers ahead [4-1], I approach DLSU Lady Booters
Miel Ampil - Mica Henson - Cara Abaya - Lois Hain - Isabelle Montelibano
- Adri Yniguez - Becca Formoso - [Please forgive me ! my list is incomplete] -
Cha Guancio - and - Tasha Alquiros [in front]
and specifically tell them "Feel It!" .
From that point on all I have to do is make sure everyone is in frame.
[I think, I even almost get hit by a stray soccer ball,
since my back is turned towards the field]
Four clicks - Ten pretty smiling athletes - Whaddaya have?
A must-have for one's photo collection.

Insane smiles can arrest you but
the subdued ones can captivate you.
Camille Dayrit - Ines Lorenzo - Tata Garcia
All come to support their 4-peat Champion Blue Eagles
at the Capiz Gymnasium during the Championship match vs West Negros.
The thing with wide angle lenses is that it makes fat/short
people fatter and shorter, and tall/lanky ones even taller and lankier.
Rookie Sarah Cruz' head reaches up to May's Tajima's nose.
Dzi and Den seem to be staring curiously behind.
Another wide-angle shot, this time,
showing Gwynn Capacio with and undergoal stab.
[Wide angle lenses also exaggerate distance]
The next five photos of the Ateneo Women's Volley Team were taken
during the Ateneo-DLS Bacolod hoops match at the Capiz Gymnasium.

"Maski simpleng kuha, maski papaano, masmaganda kung may kasaysayan"
A pair of jogging pants, three pairs of jeans . . .
and ten pairs of "vollyball legs".
No doubt these are well toned.
When I land in Manila, will rush home to unload, then scoot to Data Blitz to claim my pre-reserved DVD copy of Battlefield 3, [am a PS3 gamer] [had requested an "L" size Battlefield 3 T-shirt previously] rush home, play the console for a few minutes - then sleep, sleep, sleep.
[FYI - All JPEGs in all my posts are compressed low res files.]
