"Ateneo lost the game today & i even lost myself, i became angry."
"What? I know, but why did you do that?"
"I can't take it, the pain of defeat for the Blue Eagles is my pain too."
What a shocker, the Blue Eagles lost the game yesterday. I almost lost myself & started to scream & think of stupid stuff, like being depressed? No way! It reminds me of what happened last summer when Adamson won over Ateneo in a pre-season tournament & i end up being silent for a few hours, writing down what i want to write in my Pepsi-F4 notepad using a violet-colored gel pen. Wishing that La Salle will seek revenge for their rivals. I did not looked like Vic Zhou since i didn't get his hairdo. But in times of trouble when the Blue Eagles are trying to escape the dark roads, who will i rely on? My little sister, the one who brought me to Ateneo since 3 years ago. 3 years ago was the start of the Ateneo sisterhood, a bond between 2 sisters & the school they choose, win or lose. Once it was just an unexpected turn of events when Puffy, my little sister decided to take the ACET & stay at Katipunan Avenue for 4 more years now it become a reality, after a decade, i realized that Puffy is been a Katipunan Avenue girl for 4 years. A Knoller for 10 years & a Blue Eagle for 4 years. I was an Honorary Blue Eagle for 4 years. But i found out that sometimes, i will end up going to Katipunan Avenue.
The first time i visited Miriam College when Puffy was in Grade School, it was so 2001. Then there was the time Puffy was at MC High School, there are some times i went there to help mom to pay Puffy's tuition fee. But things changed when Puffy changed gears but stayed at Katipunan Avenue from Miriam College to Ateneo De Manila University. During Puffy's Freshman Year at ADMU, i haven't visited ADMU, but i forced myself to cheer for the Blue Eagles when Chris Tiu received the call to become the team captain of the Hail Mary Squad. Upon La Salle's return, Chris did not fail the fans of Team Ateneo to aim 3-pointers on the dying seconds of a game. During that time, i was just getting started to explore about the school. Puffy's Sophomore Year was the time i visted Ateneo, by night! The first step i made was like it won't be my last step at ADMU. Then there were some nights i visited ADMU to pick up Puffy. But that will change on Puffy's Junior & Senior Years when i visited ADMU by day even when there are some life changes & unexpected dramas. The missing link is about where will i be happy in a territory related to schools? Even if the past could almost haunt me, the present looks clear.
The Ateneo Sisterhood was strong, surpassing each trouble, conflict or even remembering the fun times. Now Puffy is in her final year as a Blue Eagle, it's time for her to take flight on a new terrain as she should realize that the real world is coming for her. Like a feather dropped on the grassy fields of the Bellarmine Fields, i remembered that it was 3 years since the Ateneo Sisterhood began. Now La Salle is on the loose when my cousin decided to study at DLSU, i respected his decision, if he wants to be w/ the kids of Taft Avenue because his friends are there & it's the nearest university to my Auntie's household, then he must work hard to make it there. But it looks like for me, it will be a fair game between the Ateneo Sisterhood & the La Salle connection.
