Maybe, just maybe.

Tonight's match with August Scousers is crucial for our club's cup standing. If we win tonight's knockout match, we advance to the semis and if we lose, it's over for the Congressional Cup. Aside from the Congressional Cup that happens every 2 years, we also are playing on Sunday for the Villager League, the one and only football league in our turf, that is. No promotions, no relegations, just us all the way. :)) 

I might not be sleeping at home tonight because there's some excursion I have to attend to tomorrow. But then again, I can't miss the match. Seriously, I'd rather miss the excursion with some cousins and friends than not be able to play in the cup. IT'S A KNOCKOUT ROUND! You lose once, you're out of the cup, kicked out. Wait for 2 years to be able to join again. And you're lucky if your club is qualified to join the cup. Only 35 clubs from 3 leagues, 1 being the Villagers League (Congressional Village I), the other 2 being the Bahay Toro Football League (Brgy. Bahay Toro)  and The Churchill Association League (Churchill Mansions) but still, if its the Congressional Cup, everyone put their best game faces on. So it's harder to get qualified. It's like England's FA!

All the same, I am glad that we have a football league of our own. Most places only have basketball leagues and that really saddens me. So I am ever thankful that football fanatics like us have the chance to play the game we love here in our turf. From the July Red Devils and from the rest of the clubs from the Villager League, we continue to thanks the Congressional Cup for keeping us together. Sounds biase that the cup is named after us but the commisioners are from different leagues, too so no problem about that. HAHA

I'm looking forward for Christmas when the Yuletide Cup is held. More people watch and support the game after the Simbang Gabi. More yayers, nayers and chants all the way, definitely more intense. 

I can't wait to visit England again and be able to watch the Premiership. I've only watched it twice, Man Utd vs Spurs and Arsenal vs Man Utd. Cause if you're not a MANC, you're a WANK!

I'd die and resurrect for Football!

:D

Korfball. Looking after the store.

Today is THE day! :)) Our team won against those yellow bullies, finally! They were no match against my shooting powers! :)) Well, of course, I always score the winning shot. Nothing's new. Anyway, I'm stoked for Monday's match. Suprisingly, everyone knows my name. They keep on chanting it and everyone keeps on saying Hi, I don't even know what their names are, at least I think I have a future in Korfball. In case I decided to flake out on my studies, I'll go to the Netherlands or Belgium and I'll join their korfball leagues, seriously.

We celebrated our victory at McDonald's. It was raining, it was cold but hey, we won so we had sundaes  and bucket-load of fries! We exchanged addies, mobile numbers, etc. like it was the last day of class. Everything was great.

I then went home, changed and went to my cousin's place to get my wireless broadband. And now, I'm just here at the shop, looking after it, being cashier. Kinda bored, not much people today so I'm just doing stuffs in the internet. :)

AND NO RIZAL COURSE CLASS TODAY! Well there was, I think. Our prof told us yesterday he wouldn't start off with the next lesson since he knows that students like to be in 'petiks' mode still after prelims. And so I decided to go home after and missed my RC class. :D Good student, I know. HAHA Hey, there'es no judging here. :))

Wednesday's Korfball Fixture, Preliminaries in Rizal Course

Last Tuesday fixture's was traumatic, at least for our team! We lost 7-nil against the yellow team. Same story happened last Friday, we lost. We thought Tuesday would be payback time but no! HAHA 

So yesterday, we had to win the game against the red team. Both teams had a hard time scoring but eventually, our team, the blue team, stood out! And of course, I scored the winning shot, thanks to the support of Carter and Marco, who went there to watch my game. I had several attempts, and only one got into the korf. HAHA Luckily, my defender wasn't as tight as the others, I was able to out run her and eventually scored! 

So I extended my hands sidewards and run across the court. My team was chanting my name, they were extending their hands for a high-five. It was surreal because it wasn't easy scoring in a game. More like a football for us, small scoring games. Nevertheless, the yellow team always have higher scores because their attackers do the basketball shot which definitely wrong but the referee, which also happens to be our professor in Korfball, doesn't see it all the time. 

After the fixture, I went straight to St. Raymund's building. I haven't even reviewed for our preliminaries but it's okay. The surrealness of the fixture was still in me. The preliminaries went good. I finished early, I met up with friends. Hanged out until 8 PM at the Quadri. Carter and Marco hitched. It was good.

Today we have another fixture at 1 PM. Hoping it will be as great as tomorrow. Looking for more scores and more fun!
