meeting jill and iehl…
July 2, 2006May 7 - Tigers lost that night against the Aces. I watched it live together with my cousin and funny thing was that we were actually sitting near Alaska bench.. So everytime the Tigers made their baskets, most likely I was the only one cheering for them on our side. I wasn’t aware that the the Tigers were wearing dark uniforms that game. But it’s fine with me..So what, I paid for my ticket and I have the right to cheer for my favorite team and players wherever I sit. Even my relatives told me they saw me on TV cheering after a Rafi Reavis block..lol.
I admitted already that I was an Aces fan before JA entered the PBA. I’ve also said I left the Aces and cheered for the Tigers since the management traded him to Coke. I don’t know if I would be cheering for them again. That would happen 100% if JA will be playing for them again. There’s still pain because I’ve been an Alaska fan since 1994. But I have to make a choice. But I will be forever thankful to them for the happiness they have given me when they won grandslam in 1996 and other championship games. Also, I wanna thank them coz if not for them, we won’t be able to meet JA. I hope I can cheer for them again. Who knows? I’m not closing my doors naman..lol.
After the game, we met Jill and Aurielle at Southgate..We waited for JA there. It was really an advantage to know the plate number of his car, lol.(well, thnaks to sis charina) we don’t need to compete with the other fans who were also waiting for him. Even though they lost, JA remained warm and accommodating. I told him we’re from Arriba and then I introduced Jill and Iehl who at first were speechless. Of course, the night wouldn’t be complete without pics. When it’s my turn already, I told him “I feel so small beside you.” He smiled and guess what when I saw the pic it didn’t really showed.
Another wonderful and memorable night again.. from that night on, jill and I became regular textmates..and so with iehl. Suddenly, I have little sisters that I never had.
