Meanwhile, hours later, another victory in the field of collegiate basketball -- the one i truly cheer on. In UAAP Season 72, Ateneo de Manila University swept victory over its archrival De La Salle University, 81-65. Well, being a fan of the Ateneo Blue Eagles [even if I am from an NCAA school...haha] since the start I got hooked in watching UAAP games, it was effortless for me to cheer on this defending champs last year....ehem....Go Ateneo! One Big Fight! ^_^
ok...those were two victories...so where's the bittersweet anticipation???I saw from Twitter.com that David Archuleta's Christmas album will be released on Oct. 13, entitled Christmas from the Heart [it's sooo close to Jose Mari Chan's Christmas album decades back "Christmas in Our Hearts"...haha...di ba?]. Actually, one can pre-order it already via Amazon.com. It's a sweet anticipation...What made it bitter? It's $13.98 [or close to Php700] if you pre-order via the website and I can't do that at the moment. The money I have right now is needed for the rainy days [hardship days, in layman's terms]...Now that's bittersweet...I guess I'll just have to wait for it to be released here in Manila...oh well...
