I may have missed Bruno Mars and Michael Copon; but Danny, Mark, and Glen all made up for it in the BEST. WAY. EVER.

I haven't really watched a lot of big concerts; my first was the Pussycat Dolls concert in 2009 at the MOA Concert grounds, then there was the Changing Lives concert with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Jojo, and the Jay Sean concert last year which I got to watch thanks to the tickets I won thru a contest by Magic 89.9. I also got to see Boyce Avenue's show at the San Mig by the bay area in MOA, as well as Jason Derulo's and Jason Castro's Glorietta mall shows. I did miss a lot of awesome concerts (Usher, Paramore, Adam Lambert, David and David, etc.), but this one, there was no way I'm going to miss it.

After 7 months or so, I found myself sitting again inside the venue, on the sidelines, waiting for the match to start. It was the opening day for the 2011 Filoil Flying V Preaseason tournament. It was actually my first time to watch a preseason tournament, and what better way to start than with the much-awaited match up between the UAAP and NCAA champs, the Ateneo Blue Eagles and the San Beda Red Lions. Followed by my beloved alma mater's team, the UST Growling Tigers going up against the DLSU Green Archers.

I was very excited for this day because of a number of reasons. First, because I get to watch college basketball again even if it's not the UAAP season yet, second because I get to see the Tigers in action again, and third, I get to check out their new recruits and how different they are from the Tigers last season. I get to see the other teams' recruits as well and what we could expect from them come the UAAP season.
