My Escape Route: April 2022

Random . April 2022

I’m being disoriented with what day it is.

Looking forward to Saturday where we might be able to watch UAAP again after two years!

Cancelling some events just to be free on Saturday.

Not a huge fan of Volleyball but during the pandemic, that’s one regret that I had not watching even one UAAP volleyball game even we planned to do it.

How to adjust on this post pandemic life.

It was raining the whole day.

Left the house without a mask. Great.

Hopefully it will not rain on Saturday

Back on doing some games before bed so I will stop browsing the internet but still I do end up thinking a lot.

Nice basketball games today! Yay. That’s the feeling that we all miss.

Can’t believe that weekend is just a few hours away. I’m so looking forward to Saturday and I’m now anxious. Haha

Work guilt.

Why do I have so much backlog this week.

11 months of working out daily. Yay! 04.09.2022

MOA!!!! And it didn’t rain. Huhu

Basketball game after so many years. Lol

It was all I needed. Thankfully everything went well.

Yesterday was one of the best day for so long.

I never felt this kind of tiredness for years but thankful that I workout and I walk daily.

I’ll write about yesterday in a very long form with a lot of realizations.

Got to move, on a Sunday.

Lazy Monday.

Done with all the task before this holy week break. Finally rest days.

Lol was there really a rest day for me.

You can’t play the “not feeling well” card these days, you know.

Friday mass.

Still sleepy.

Finally we are starting this trip now. #Brobabes 2022 after that 2015 trip.

Tagaytay for the first time since maybe 2019 or whenever it was

Sleep over with Chikababes

So many thoughts in my head.

After all these lockdown, my body is adjusting with all of my weekend activities. Need to change some of the daily routine.

From not seeing friends for so long to hanging out every weekend. Yay.

Hello Monday stress.

There are things that I can’t explain to you the reason. It will be appreciated if you will have patience for a moment.

Trust the process even it is frustrating at times.

I’m not a good liar.

All you have to do is wait because one way or another, you are not forgotten.

Transporting to April 9 so I can finish writing it all before I go on with what happen last weekend.

And I didn’t write all week. Lol hello again weekend.

Its going to be a full activity day. UAAP and hopefully to be able to catch up on #PasayIsPink. Happy Birthday VP Leni!

Saturday went well until we got stranded at Macapagal. Lol

Impromptu overnight at Paranaque

BILLIE EILISH WITH HAYLEY!!!!!!! OMG / the first thing I saw upon opening Instagram and my jaw drop.

Back to work on a weekend

Ugh. Monday.

Test of patience.

Catching up on my sleep. Lol

Waiting game .

I just maxed out my 128gb iPhone. Lol

Literally, I forgot to write these days even in here. I’m trying to catch up

Vote wisely for everyone’s future.

Oh wow. Not really shocked but RIP.

End of the month are usually busy.

Back firing at you. Lol / Make it a healthy competition!

It is raining.

Two weekend write up down. One more to go.

The struggle is still real.

We are planning to finally watch a volleyball game but I think it will still not happen this year and it is hard to be a FEU supporter after that statement.

Crazy cravings.

There are really movies that are not worth watching.

Staying in for the weekend after 3 consecutive weekends spent with friends.

UAAP S84 . First Live Game in 2022

This day will never be possible if the UAAP never allowed the 6th man inside the arena after 4 game days.

We got late basketball schedule for April 7 (Thursday) & 9 (Saturday) and we are all busy on a weekday so we settled to watch live on Saturday.

One week of waiting. I got very anxious plus it rained for a day and I don’t want to rain if i will be traveling to MOA from hometown. I’m so hesitant but my cousin, Dap convinced me and said that we will watch rain or shine. YAY.

I wasn’t thinking about it that I just want to survive the week and enjoy Saturday. I just couldn’t figure it out why I was extra busy with a backlog on Thursday and Friday. It makes me feel so guilty to go out the next day but I make sure that I finish everything.

Saturday came and I can’t believe that I woke up seeing some ray of sunshine and I became so excited.

The whole week, I was slowly getting ready on what to bring and what bag to use and the shoes. I haven’t been out that I need to prepare all of these in advance so I will not forget some things as well. Good thing I did that since one of the side of the strap of the bag broke and I was able to see it in advance.

Everything went well as planned. Thankful for the free MRT ride as well and we made it to MOA without raining. It was a good day.

I’m so excited to see Brobabes and finally hangout for the whole day plus enjoying basketball, the one event in our lives that started it all. Maybe that’s one reason why even after 10 years we still watch and enjoy it.

Game days are packed now since 4 basketball games are happening in a day (10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm) unlike before that there are only 2 games in a day.

Gem miss UAAP so much because she was so busy pre-pandemic that she can’t find time to watch anymore so most likely this was her first game after maybe in 4 years (I’m not sure so as she). Haha

Kit wasn’t answering us when we asked him all week if he will join us and upon buying tickets, I let go of the idea that he will be joining us. When Gem and I met after buying tickets, she asked me if I bought one for Kit and I said no since he wasn’t answering us all week. We decided to call him and I know that he have his hesitations as well but he said that he will go last minute.

After buying tickets, our game will still be at 7pm so we decided to go around MOA on where to eat but apparently everything is full. It was a Saturday and a holiday although I want to roam around but it was tiring without any place to stay so I told them that maybe we should just go inside MOA Arena already and eat whatever food there is inside. We went inside by 2pm just in time for the 4th quarter of AdU vs DLSU. Perfect timing since we miss Coach Nash who is the current head coach of AdU.

It was so good to watch a UAAP game again after 903 days for me. Lol

It was so good just to be inside MOA Arena as well.

After the AdU and DLSU game we went outside to eat and there are few choices but it is okay. Hopefully there will be more choices next time since we are all willing to eat most especially for some who stays the whole day.

We waited for some chairs and table to be emptied since some are already done watching their respective games and some just arrived to watch the next game which is ADMU and UST.

We just talked outside and re-entered the arena by 4th quarter of ADMU and UST. While we wait for Kit who arrived just after that game.

3/4 of Brobabes are united again after 6 months when we hangout in my hometown.

We still have 1 hour to spare before the FEU-UP game so we did catch up for a while.

It felt like we hangout and talk 24/7 which is not but I guess if you have this kind of friendship turned family now, we just know.

GAME TIME

I’ve been keeping track of the 1st round and with the lousy game we have which is understandable for everyone since most of them didn’t have proper basketball game since 2019. There are also lots of new faces as well with the changes on the coaching staff which by the way, I didn’t get any update during the pandemic. I kind of step away from basketball stuff since somehow it also stopped.

This season it is also hard to predict who will win except for ADMU, anyway. Lol

It feels so good to see UP win since we also witnessed them during the time they are always at the bottom of the standings. UE is the one that’s at the bottom at the moment.

So good to be able to celebrate if our players will shoot, jump if it was a 3-point shot, shout defense if they are on the other side of the court, to cheer for our team and to finally sing that FEU hymn again.

We didn’t win but it was not as hurtful as it is before. Maybe for me it didn’t matter anymore as long as we were able to witness a UAAP basketball again, to be the 6th man inside the arena.
