Thank You for my ABL Team :o)

I had my very first ABL basketball game last Sunday at the Meralco covered courts in Ortigas :o) Hehehe. My mom and my sisters were quite doubtful about my basketball skills and intentions at first, especially since I'm really used to watching basketball games, not playing in them. My only experience of actually playing basketball was in my PE class in 2nd year college :p But I really want to hone my athletic skills in a team sport so I gave ABL a shot (Plus it's my new year's resolution to engage in more sports this year. Thank you Pru for inviting me!). I wasn't really expecting that they'd let me play that day, my personal game plan was to actually just quietly sit and watch first and see how everything works. Hehehe. But She and Em called me just before the second half started and told me I was going in. "Okie..."

Without any warm-ups (my body was still recovering from the lazy holiday mode it went into last Christmas) or much practice, I went in and tried my best :o) I really can't remember how long I was there, all I knew was that I was having so much fun! (Even if there were times that I was quite panicky when I got hold of the ball) :p After a while She and Mia called me for a sub. It was just in time too because I was already running out of breath. Our team was catching up on our opponent (who was first runner-up last year by the way) and finally took the lead. We were cheering them on from the sidelines until the game ended and we won! :o) yipppeeee! :o) Final score was 27-24 :o)

It was such an amazing new experience for me. Watching the UAAP games and cheering for my school is really so much fun but I didn't know that playing in a basketball game could make me feel just as exhilarated. :o) Now I'm really determined to keep practicing and be good at it :o)

Thank You so much for my wonderful Legion of Emee Tan teammates :o) Thank You so much for letting me step out of my box (I know everyone is saying that this is "not me", hehehe) and showing me how fun it could be :o) :o) :o)
