PBA Legends

It was the best birthday gift I've received this year. It's also the only gift I've received this year, but it was the best gift. Two lower box tickets for the exhibition game between our own Cebu Niños and the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Legends. I won the tickets through a contest in Facebook by WRock FM and the station's main man, Billy Sienes.

My wife and I enjoyed the game immensely. It was her first time to watch a professional basketball game live, and it was not my first time, it was so good to see my idols again. I was called a lot of names in high school, one of which was Vergel Meneses, the former Aerial Voyager of the PBA, because I patterned my playing style after his. When he retired, I didn't watch the PBA games that often anymore, add to the fact that I was working during evenings. It was so good to see the original Aerial Voyager in action again.

The game ended in a tie, and because it was just an exhibition game, there was no overtime that was played. My wife and I had our pictures taken with the legends after the game, and since she enjoyed watching the game, I promised her that if we have extra budget and the PBA will have their provincial game/s here soon, I will again take her to the game again with me as the excitement level in a bearing (official) game is incomparable to an exhibition game.
