It was almost impossible for me to watch the game last Saturday. But hey, I couldn’t miss that for the world! Me? Missing the SMB game? Live? Hell no! So I kind of muscled up some time and doubled my efforts just to get my butt on the game.
3 days left and I still haven’t got my ticket. No tickets available in Ayala and for sure none from SM.
Losing hope, 2 words to describe the feeling I had at that time. 2 days, still none. And at the very last day, I really thought, I had to do something about it or else its goodbye SMB live game and hello CS9 on tv, and that’s pretty lousy! Urgh! So there and then, I heaved myself to something, or anything, that could give me the tickets that I have been wanting. I had to! And so right there and then, I had the tickets. (long story how I got it).
And the awaited day came. Saturday. The day of the ball game. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. Me and my friend Adz, got our butts inside Cebu Coliseum just in time for the pre-game shooting. Also just enough time to take pictures. Haha!
Where our seats were located was just perfect to take shots from our idols. So while they were shooting around baskets, I was also shooting for pictures. Haha. I even called along some players so we can smile with them at the camera and luckily they were friendly enough to say yes. Arwind Santos, Denoch Miranda, Lordy Tugade and of course, (why would I waste the opportunity) Dondon Hontiveros my idol, took their time off the court to say hi on ringside. Not only the Beermen were too friendly but as well as the Tigers. So I took the chance to talk and take pictures with them. Yea, they were really friendly. Marvin Cruz, Franciz Allera and Alex Cabagnot were some of the friendly Tigers. Even the injured Asi Taulava smiled with me at the camera. Same is true with Danny Siegle and coach Pido Jarencio. Lucky day.
It wasn’t my first time to watch them play live but I felt like it was. I mean every time they come over for a game, the more I get excited. The adrenaline was really rushing. And the game was almost unbelievable. The San Miguel Beermen, which happens to be the team that I’m cheering for stretched out the lead that it was very impossible for the Coca Cola Tigers to run. And until the end of the game, the Beermen never gave the Tigers a single taste of happiness on the court.
What a day that was. Something to be tatooed on my memory. And even if the Beermen didn’t win, I will still be an SMB fan. Basketball surely is the home of the heroes!
