A Fairy Tale Season...
In the end, it only makes sense. In the end, there was no more fitting end to a fairy tale season. The Ateneo Blue Eagles closed out the La Salle Green Archers 77-70 to capture their first championship in fourteen years...The Blue Eagles' season - coming back from being down 4-5 on the brink of elimination, stopping a sweep by a seemingly invincible foe, and squeaking through the semis past a team that had beaten them during the first two rounds - would reverberate throughout Philippine basketball history as one of the most spectacular tales ever. Ending, as most fairy tales do, happily ever after...- an excerpt from 'Tale of the Blue Eagles'
it's been three years since ateneo won that dream championship...three years since that fairy tale season...
three years since that night i thought i could never be happier...when i was rushing to araneta to make the 4 pm game...when we were cheering our hearts out at the last UAAP basketball game of our senior year...when we braved the throngs of people outside araneta and made our way back to school giddy with the thrill of winning the championship...when you reached for my hand as we were walking around campus screaming cheers for the fun of it...when we had our arms around each other as we watched the fireworks fill the night sky with vibrant colors...
it's been three years...three long years since that night i fell in love with you and didn't know it...
it's 2005. ateneo has yet to win another championship and i have yet to move on...
XOXOXOXOXOXO
in honor of the cheers, the championship, and the fireworks...
