Halikinu! Rektikano!

Whenever La Salle and Ateneo play against each other in the UAAP, I'm always torn between the two teams.

Part of me wants to cheer for Ateneo, since it's my current school. I'm gonna get my college diploma from this school. Dito ako sa school na 'to naghirap (at kasalukuyan pa ring naghihirap) para makapagtapos sa minamahal kong kurso. Also, I can relate more with Ateneo's players, seeing almost all of them regularly in school. Pake ko ba kay Macmac...kahit magaling siya, di naman kame magkakila. And he doesn't study philosophy and theology the way we do in Ateneo. Yuck kadiri ang yabang ko na rin...para na kong Atenista hahaha!

But I'm a La Sallian at heart. I've known La Salle's alma mater song for fifteen years already, having studied in University of St. La Salle from prep to grade 3 and in La Salle Greenhills from grade 4 'til I finished high school. Religio, Mores, and Cultura have played a big part in my formation as a person. The fundamentals of my academic knowledge are grounded on what I've learned from my teachers in grade school and high school. My value for friendship is unparalleled, thanks to my fellow La Sallians whom I shared wonderful memories with. I wouldn't be who I am now if not for that kick ass school.

So whom do I cheer for during the UAAP games? When the two schools play against each other, I cheer for both (kase alam ko yung mga cheer ng pareho hehehe). Or sometimes, I don't cheer at all. I just wait for the outcome of the game and give my congratulations to the winner. But a greater part of me is still La Sallian. 11 years in La Salle is still far from my 5 years (hopefully 5 lang) in Ateneo.

Sige I've watched more games seated in the Ateneo side, since I started watching UAAP seniors basketball. But a few years after my college graduation, I feel that I'd still be watching the UAAP games in Araneta...LA SALLE SIDE. :)
