73rd UAAP Cheer dance Competition

The bad blogger is back.

Last Sunday, September 12, 2010 we invaded Araneta Coliseum equipped with our yellow shirt, enthusiasm and high hopes of winning, all in the name of school spirit. This is to support UST SDT in this year's UAAP cheer dance competition. UST may not won the title of being the best cheering squad this year but regaining a spot in the top 3 is an achievement for the group who suffered from a heart breaking lost being kicked out of the top 3 last season.



Getting the tickets to get in is tragic! We went through a lot just to get hold of that tiny piece of paper serving as the key for us to witness the said event. And if getting in is already a major pain in the ass, double the agony of finding the perfect spot to watch the performances and to cheer for your team. We first tried to camouflage with the ADU crowd for that perfect view, however, we hated the fact that we cannot cheer for UST since we are just intruders on their area, that's why we decided to stick with the Thomasian crowd and just cheer our lungs out despite the fact that we can only see a tiny glimpse of the Salinggawi Dance Troupe's performance. Nothing beats the harmony of the Thomasian voices lingering around the venue filled with passion and spirit, as a sign of love and loyalty to our beloved Alma Matter.



After UST SDT's number, Dj got a brilliant idea of looking for a better area to watch the whole competition smoothly. We went to the Archer's spot and we got to see the whole fighting arena in it's best view. We will no longer cheer for our squad that's why its now safe to blend in with the others.



It was a fun fun, lung soaring event, We took truck loads of pictures and captured priceless memories spent with my beloved thomasian friends, cousin and most of all with the person I love the most. (who wants to be in Maroon that day, but changed to yellow during the contest and got back to his preferred color at the end of the day. *effort! Dj, thanks for this sweet day. Tiger Power! I love you.)
