UST vs Ateneo

     Another experience I can share on my blog is my trip to Araneta for the basketball game between UST and Ateneo. This game would distinguish who will succeed to the final four. UST made it and I am proud! I am glad that I was there to watch them win even though the finals are yet to come.

The game was great to watch. I saw many fouls being declared, tension during free throws and even heart stopping moments as UST and Ateneo were chasing after the scores.

Before the game started they were already practicing their shooting. I was just taking in the atmosphere when my friend told me how good the Eagles were at shooting. I replied back 'stop', so that she wouldn't jinx the game.

I ended up admitting to my friend that the Eagles' are pretty good at playing. If I was supporting Ateneo I would be disappointed that they didn't win today.

 I got annoyed with many Tomasians 'boo-ing' towards the opposite team because I think it's good to be a sport. Both teams played well and I don't want to show off. I want to be fair but I am proud of my school. Hard work pays off!

I'm Not A Fan!



Where do I start? I'm not a music geek and I don't know much about music. The first song I heard by Lady GaGa was  Just Dance and I loved it! It was very catchy, it's something I would listen to but not something  I would listen to all day.

Then Lady GaGa continued to make music and they all did really well, some had a meaning like Born This Way. However the music videos were slowly becoming explicit and I don't know why.

She wears less clothes, does provocative things and it's not music anymore for me. For me a music video should relate and tell the story of the song. I guess a music video is for entertainment but shouldn't a music video mean something. It shouldn't be about how you have less clothes on but about the song, the meaning and how we can relate to it.

I always tell people how I much prefer to listen to artists from Youtube. The songs are original or rather not auto tuned. Artists off Youtube don't try to impress the mass, they're not mainstream but they sound better than the ones on mainstream because it's different; it's not the same thing you hear everyday and everywhere. Mainstream music adjust to the mass however those off Youtube don't need to do this even though they might not have as many fans as those mainstream artists.
