Kobi Bryan Tan: The Center

I am Kobi Bryan, the center of the team. Ako rin ang pinaka-maraming fans sa kanila.  I believe that I am the most handsome among my teammates. I'm not exaggerating here, nasa akin naman ang ebidensya.

No one can question my ability and skills. I deserve my position and tagged myself as the "center of the court" which Robis always protested and called me "self centered" which I always answer with a playful smile.

I'm also the one who always cheer up my team. When my team lose focus and control, I will hint a joke that make everyone laugh, even our coach.

Pinakabata, pinakamasayahin at walang problema—well that's according to them.

But no one know that I am hiding in a mask. Masaya ako, maligalig, palabiro, iyon ang pinapakita ko sa mga tao cause I really want be like that. Kung pwede nga lang talagang maging totoong masaya.

"Dad I want to join the try out," I happily tell to my father while having dinner. Nakaupo ito sa kabisera, ako naman sa kaliwa at nasa kanan ang aking Mommy.

My dad was the coach of the basketball team in my school. I am currently gr. 11 students. Noong una, wala naman talaga akong hilig sa paglalaro, pero dahil sa madalas na pagsama-sama sa court ay nakahiligan ko na rin ito. Not to mention that I want my father to be proud of me.

Nagseselos kasi ako sa mga alaga niya. My Dad spend half of his life in court—with his teammates. Madalas pa ngang kasabay ng mga ito ang Daddy ko sa pagkain kaysa sa akin. That's why I want to be part of his team—to spend more time with him.

Kaya naman nanood ako ng laro. Pinag-aralan ang bawat galaw at mga dapat gawin. Pati na rin ang attitude sa loob ng court.

"Why don't you just focus on your study? Dalawang taon na lang graduate ka na ng highschool, ano bang balak mong kunin sa college?"

Isn't it ironic right? My dad is a coach but don't support his only son to be a basketball player?

"Dad, time management lang naman 'yan. Don't worry Dad 'di ko papabayaan ang academics ko. And besides extra curricular din 'yon, baka nga d'on pa ako makabawi." I answered confidently. I don't want to give him any reason to disapprove me.

"No Kobi, hindi ka pwedeng sumali sa team!" my Dad answered in a final tone.
