Bittersweet Ending
The small carinderia on the ground floor of Globe was packed with Ateneans and Thomasians (or is it Thomasites?). When I inched through the crowded entrance, the 4th quarter had just ended. 64 all. Overtime. OMG.
I will not tell you how it ended. I'm sure you already know by now.
But what I will tell you is that Ateneo and UST played a good game. A great game. Both schools fought tooth and nail up to the last second and beyond overtime. It was a cardiac finish. I was literally palpitating. The feeling that I get when I recite in class with 50 of my classmates waiting to refute what I have to say. I could almost hear my heart. Hindi ako OA. The final seconds were really cardiac.
It was a bittersweet ending. Not exactly what I had hoped for but what I would have wanted now that I see the big picture. If there is anything that this UAAP season has taught me is that great teams are not made by a single or a couple of superstars. Great teams are made by great teamwork. Ateneo and UST have proven this true.
And with that, I think I feel better now.
