A-WEEK: ARROWHEADS AND ALCOHOL (March 17 – 24, 2006)

I can call this week a week of football and alcohol. Last Monday-Wednesday, Mar 17 – 19, 17 members of the football team, including me, went to Subic. We stayed at Legenda Suites feeling pimps since it was the best place to stay at, that’s what they say, in that Area. All 17 of us stayed in one suite with two rooms, a mini kitchen, a dining table and a living room, big enough to house all 17 of us. Some of my team mates arrived there early in the afternoon while I and some arrived at night. That night, the team gathered around the terrace just in front of the suite that we were staying in. We sat there, drank beer and rum coke, others, smoking, while sharing stories and corny jokes with one another. When we all got tipsy, some of us were asked to do a dare, pretty much silly stuff. Luckily, my dare was not that hard. Haha! I wont type it here since it’s a team secret. Heck! What secret secret? Didn’t you know that WHAT HAPPENS IN SUBIC STAYS IN MULTIPLY??? Haha!=) anyway, we all got very tipsy, I bet some got drunk, during the first night. We ended up grabbing the magic sing.. oops THEY ended up singin’! I ended up running and then diving luckily enough reaching the cushion as I fell down. Hitting the sheets was my mission! Hehe I slept at around 3am, and the others? I have no idea...

I woke up at 8am sober enough to grab some food in the kitchen. Chips ahoy, that is! a few were awake as well but no one of the few felt the need to cook since there was no available casserole for the noodles. Good thing there was a huge frying pan, which Cocoy, a team mate who lives in subic, brought for us. With that, we were able to cook 6 noodle packs which fed all of us. After breakfast, we headed to the beach, swam and played football, then headed to our team mate’s resto for lunch. By the way, the beach we went to has little slides on it! Stupendous! Imagine that – kiddos went sliding in the beach… AHEM! Cool thing! In the afternoon, we went go karting and at night, as usual, we gathered again in the terrace and swigged some beer and coke rum.

The next day, we left Subic and arrived Manila at 3pm.

Thursday was kind of a rest day for me. I went to our shop and helped my mom bake. It was a very long time since I’ve visited our shop since all the freaking thesis, cases, and exams kept me too busy to even drop by my mom’s shop for a jiffy.

Well Friday was a day for football training. We had to since our next opponent was the 2nd best team from last season. We practiced at Valle Verde 2 at around 2pm since our other team mates arrived late, as usual. After training, we headed to AYSEE”s. Damn their sisig is perfectly fine! I could be grossed out by other sisigs thinking about each and every innards mixed in there but AYSEE’s was exceptional. I couldn’t eat that much that day since I was still full from lunch and a couple of soft drinks, but I would gladly be back and feed me a full serving of their heavenly sisig- matching it with a bottle of beer perhaps.

Saturday- GAME TIME. We all worked our asses off and it kinda worked since we gave them a hard time to accumulate their touch downs. We lost but it aint that bad since all of worked hard for it. Keep yah head up gurlz! Anyway, after the game, we went to Gian’s place at Alabang hills. DING DING DING BENG BENG! We swam in their pool, swigged some wine and beer and coke rum, and when we all got tipsy, we just lay down. We went home at around 2am. Thanks to Juanni and Kathy who brought me home.. and also to MJ who cared enough to look for and cover me with towels out there in the sub-zero patio/porch whilst my sleep.

Anyway, that was a tiresome yet fun week with the arrowheads. I really missed them since I’ve been missing some practices and some gimmicks with them due to school demands. I really enjoyed my week with them and I really cant wait for the team’s next adventure / hang out / whatever sessions..

>>> Ill just try to spruce up this entry with a few pics when I have time… ciao!
