Start of second overtime, and I'm sitting in front of the T.V., fidgeting and anticipating what would happen next. And before I knew it, consecutive steals, a block and there it was, Ginebra winning Game 5 :) First time I've watched an entire Ginebra game in a loooong time, but the feeling is still the same...:)

Being a basketball fan ever since, when I was in Highschool, I was soooo into Ginebra. :D My Parents would bring us to Cuneta Astrodome in order for us to watch it live. I was such a fanatic that even my sister bought me this magazine dedicated to Ginebra's first championship in a long time. The team was Gordon's Gin back then to be precise. While Vince Hizon was the crush ng bayan, my admiration went for my favorite player, Bal "the Flash" David (being a frustarted basketball player, I even imagined copying his moves), and yes, I do like Jaworski (bad words and all). haha! :) Even cried when they won. haha! :) I even remembered having this hatred towards the Alaska team! ;)

But then, for some reason, I just stopped watching PBA altogether. I don't know if it was because all of a sudden, the league was plagued with all those Fil-Am players, or that I was just not used to seeing my favorite players at their best like Meneses, Aquino. But that did not stop me from getting starstrucked still. :)I remember seeing Marlou in Glorietta before, and I guess, even if he was no longer in Ginebra, I was still a fan and "kinapalan" ko na lng talaga mukha ko, and I just approached him and talked to him, even asking where Bal David was. ahhaha!!:)

I guess, even if I'm no longer a fanatic like I was before for Ginebra, and for PBA as a whole, you still can't take it out of me in cheering for them loudly everytime I'm able to catch their game:) Yup, I am a kabarangay. haha! :)And I super duper hope that Ginebra, even if they are no longer the same team I have loved before, would win the championship :)
