-After ng laban namin sa Ateneo, nagstart na agad ang second round next week, natalo kami sa Adamson matapos ang naging laban namin sa Ateneo, and after non nag 4 game win streak kami against  UP, NU, UST, at UE, pero natapos ang streak naminng tambakan kami ng Ateneo sa 2nd Round Match Up, kaya may 7-6 na record ang team ko na kasalukuyang nasa top 4

-Pero di dapat kami magrelax, dahil nasa 5th spot lang ang UE na may 7-6  din na record after manalo against UP kanina lamang, delikado pa ang spot namin, dahil pwede kaming mawala sa playoffs, kaya para masigurong makakapasok kami sa Playoffs, kailangan namin talunin ang FEU Tamaraws na hanggang ngayon ay Undefeated pa rin na may 12-0, at kailangan nilang matalo against FEU  sa magiging game nila sa Miyerkules, kung matalo din sila, edi may one game playoffs na magaganap

"Ben, handa ka na ba sa laban mo against FEU as a starter?" tanong ni Sam

"Yapp, handa na akong durugin sila" sabi ko saka tumango si Sam

-As I was preparing to wear my jersey, my phone suddenly rang

"Tita? napatawag po kayo" sagot ko sa tawag

"Ben, may masamang balita ako" sabi ni tita

"Ano po yon, tita?" 

"Naaksidente papa mo" sagot ni kaya napako ako sa kinatatayuan ko

"Paano nangyare yon?" I asked

"He was on his way in your game, and doon siya naaksidente"

"Asan hospital po kayo?"

"No, kailangang nandyan ka- mas kailangana ako ni Papa, tita!!!!" madali kong putol kay tita

"Ben, alam kong kailangan ka ng Papa, but don't worry, andito ako, kailangan mong mag-focus diyan sa magiging game mo" sabi ni tita kaya napa-buntong hininga ako

"Pupunta po kaagad ako diyan, right after ng game ko" sabi ko

"Sige, sige, wag ka magalala, di ko iiwan papa mo dito"

"Anyare?" tanong ni Bob

"Naaksidente si Papa habang papunta dito" I answered and they were shocked

"Is he doing great?"

"I'm not sure, pero sabi ni tita she will keep me updated" I said

"Alright, alam kong crucial moment ito, pero andito ka, kailangan mong mag-focus sa game" sabi ni Sam

"I know about that, I just want this to finish" I said as they nodded before we head out of the dug-out

-Masakit ng marinig ko ang balita kay tita na naaksidente si Papa, siya na lang ang natitira kong pamilya matapos kaming iwan ni Mama noong 12 years olds pa lang ako dahil sa Cancer, kaya kapag nawala si Papa pakiramdam ko magugunaw ang mundo ko

-As the game started, I couldn't focus on the game, what happens to dad bothers me, to the point na I was 0/7 from the field nung 1st Quarter, and meron pa akong 3 personal fouls, kaya napilitan akong iupo buong first half na merong 4 points lang, natapos ang 2nd Quarter sa score na 47-26
