The Other side of me: Fan Girl for a day

Created By: Farrah Nanteza

Every one has a fan side in us whether in sports, music or celebrities. When is the time that fanatism becomes wrong or bad? I believe that when we put our idols in a pedestal, we tend to stalk them which is kinda creepy and the worst is we idolize or unnecessarily worship them. Fanatics becomes good, when we use them as our influence to do worthwhile things, or as our INSPIRATION.

Filoil Flying-V Preseason Hanes Cup

Yesterday, my sister and I went to San Juan Arena to watch basketball games and apparently to support our number one collegiate team "The Ateneo Blue Eagles". I've been a blue and white squad fan for almost 7 years now. I started cheering for them when I'm still in my freshman year way back in College. Anyway, we bought our tickets at SM North Edsa: The Block.

Funny Scenes:

SM Concierge

Me: San banda ang SM Tickets?

Receptionist: Ah, Ticketnet sa loob ng Department Store

*Hello! Ticketnet and SM Tickets are two different entities!*

Department Store

My sister: Guard, san dito ung SM Tickets?

Guard: Ung bilihan ng ticket?

My sister's POV: Hindi kuya! Ung bilihan ng popcorn! Hahaha

*Seriously, Manong guard asked that silly question?*

SM Tickets

Me: Dito po ba ang bilihan ng ticket para sa Filoil?

Receptionist: Yes ma'am

Me: Two Lower Box ticket nga po

Receptionist: Ring side ma'am?

*Kakasabi ko pa lang ng lower box, biglang magtatanong ng ring side haha ang weird!*

We arrived there at aroung 2:15PM, we're 3 hours early for the Ateneo and San Beda game but we're 2 hours late for their first game which starts at 12PM. We went to 7 eleven first just to kill time and we went inside the arena around 3 in the afternoon. While searching for a nice place to seat, my sister saw her crush "Michole Sorela" of the Red Lions. She wants to have a picture with him but she's too shy to ask, so we continued searching after we have found a nice spot, she asked me if I can approach Michole.

Funny scene

Me: Pwede daw ba magpa-picture sayo?

Michole: Sige

Me: Okay 1,2,3 instead of clicking the capture button I clicked on the back button.

*We all laugh from my silly mistake, then my sister grab the phone and I saw her hands trembling.*

After that, we headed back to our place then I saw "Anjo Caram" of the Red Lions, my crush and he's staring at us. I want to have a picture with him but I got intimidated because he's with his team mates. I bumped into him when he is about to leave the arena, I grab the opportunity to have a picture with him.

At that time, Lyceum and Arellano University are playing. Arellano won over Lyceum. After 15 minutes, I saw Kiefer Ravena watching the said game while sound tripping and he's seating way beyond us. My sister has a huge crush on him so we automatically went to his side to approach him; as usual I'm the front runner, after picture taking we headed back to our place.

After 10 minutes, I saw Von Pessumal my ultimate crush behind Kiefer's seat. At first I'm too hesitant to approach him (ganunt ata talaga pag crush mo natatameme ka) but if I will not make a move uuwi akong luhaan. Insert von. Von's eyes are captivating, he can captivates millions of girls by just staring at them but when it comes to his career he was coined as "The Jack of All Trades".

This time, Benilde and EAC are playing. EAC won over Benilde after their overtime.

5 minutes had passed then we saw Juami Tiongson and he was seated beside Von, my sister is a Juami Tiongson fan she wanted to have a picture with him but chose not to approach him 'cause we've decided that she'll have it later after the game.

ADMU VERSUS SBC

This is the third game for the both teams after Filoil opening last April 14, 2012. The Red Lions defeated the crowd favorite Ateneo Blue Eagles with a two-point deficit, 63-61. The Eagles was leading with as much as 16 points but the Red Lions bounce back in the last 4 minutes of the regulation. This is the first heartbreaking lose of the Eagles this season and the solo lead for the Lions.
