Our night without JoAnn

On Thursday Daniel and I left JoAnn with a neighbor and had a night out. His buddy, Kirk, gave him two tickets to game 2 of the UAAP finals. Sounds interesting right...well, Ateneo was playing De La Salle, their rivals and the finals are the best two out of three. Ateneo won the first game, meaning if they won the second game they won it all. So it was a big game for them and Daniel was so excited that Kirk had the chance to be a part of it. Right before we left, I got a lecture from Daniel about how I needed to wear something that showed I was chearing for Ateneo. I told him I was sure it really wasn't that big of a deal, but would wear it if it made him feel better. By the time we got to our seats, I was so glad Daniel had me change. It turns out that Kirk's parents had him offer his two really good tickets meant for them to someone else and he gave those to Daniel. We were literally first row right behind the Ateneo bench.
The view from our seats....
The game was a pretty intense game and Ateneo ended up winning. We had a lot of fun. I tried to get a video of the end on my camera, so I could show people what it sounds like to be at the game, but the sound quality on my camera isn't the greatest and it just sounds like static. These games are so loud its crazy.

After the game we went for our Taco Bell dinner and headed home. This arena is a pretty good distance from where we live, so in order to get there we always take the train and on the way back we realized that the walk from the train station to our car was going to be interesting. I guess we haven't gotten used to the rain here yet. Sometime during the game the typhoon that was in the area brought a lot of rain and it was pouring by the time we got back. Of course neither of us brought an umbrella since it was sunny and clear when we left. Usually I wouldn't even think twice, but there is no parking at the train station, so we had to park probably 1/2 mile away. We got soaked by the time we got to our car. Then to make it worse, our car's windshield wippers don't work and the roads were really flooded. It was quite an interesting trip home, but we had a great time going out by ourselves.
