DEFYING THE ODDS

25.

Jema's

After our slow start in conference, nakabawi kami sa mga sumunod na game giving us long winning streak.

Pinalaro na ako ni coach and so far masaya ako na nakakacontribute ako sa team.

Things goes on as planned na and slowly things are going well.

Having Deanna on my side is a great help for me, masaya din ako na kahit papano hindi kami nagtatalo about sa Volleyball and sa iba ko pang ginagawa. We settle on what you see is what you get policy in social media wala kami tinatago sa mga tao.

Though maraming nagtatanong and nagbabash, We don't owe anyone an explanation naman so we are not bothered on whatever they say.

My Thailand team is requesting me for another contract with them for their next conference pero I decline it  na.

Napagpasyahan ko na magstay nalang dito sa Pilipinas at dito na maglaro.
Gusto ko na makasama ng matagal ang Family ko part of it is I want to stay with Deanna na rin.

Gusto ko na magsettle down kami dito sa Pinas.

It will be hard for us kasi hindi accepted ang same sex marriage dito, everyone will judged you, disgrace you or worst religiously speaking will definitely mark you as mortal sinners.

People will judged but in the end of the day, It will be your choice if magpaapekto ka o rerespetuhin mo mga paniniwala nila. And I choose to respect them.

Sobrang bilis matapos ng conference and where lucky na nakapasok kami sa Finals and bring back the championship.

I was awarded as the finals MVP.

After ng Reinforced Conference we will have a break then balik ulit kami ng training for Open Conference where gunning for back to back championship.

Team management decided na mag out of town kami somewhere in Batanes to unwind pero before heading to our quick break nagprepare muna kami for a guesting sa isang sikat na talk show.

"Ganda mo naman, pede mahingi number mo." Napangiti ako ng marinig ko kung sino ang nagsalita.

Yung maganda kung Girlfriend.

"Stalker." I joked

She smile and wink at me causing my heart to skip a beat. She's so charming.

"Wag ka masyado magpaganda baka kunin ka nilang artista, magkaka love team ka ayaw ko nun."

I laugh on what she said "ikaw gusto ko kaloveteam, sure ka bang number ko lang ang gusto mo makuha?" I said pinatulan ko yung mga paandar niya.

"Can I have you instead." She said

"I'm all yours baby."

Our moment got interrupted when the crew told us na magstart na ang show.

"Goodluck love, I'll be watching and cheering you."

I give her a kiss bago siya umalis.

"Please welcome the PVL reinforced conference champion Creamline Coolsmashers." As the interviewer's introduce us.

Paglabas namin kahit sobrang daming tao sa harap namin siya talaga pinaka una kong nakita.

After a while the interview started.

"So guys kamusta ang pakiramdam na naibalik na sainyo ulit ang championship?" She asked

"It was very full filling kasi pinaghirapan talaga namin to and all of us did everything to get the championship back it was a team effort." Our captain Ate Jia answered.
