It was one warm summer night... In the year 2003... One of those boring nights of vacation... Got nothing to do... Missing my friends from school and have no choice but to watch the basketball league in our barangay... It's been a tradition of my 3 girl cousins to watch it every year... Mainly because my male cousins participate in it.. And just like me.. There's no other things worth doing.. Besides when a game's ongoing, the crowds are loud so you wouldn't have a choice but to try to enjoy the game... That year was my first time to watch the league... I don't know why but somehow I was drawn to watch it that year... I'm with my ate Meg, Camille and Cheska.. We're watching the game from the terrace... Now there's this particular team that we're supporting. Though non of the members of that team is our relatives... The reason for supporting was that ate Camille has a crush on one of the players... The team's name is "princess gem" and all the player's name was a girl's... So 'twas kinda their girlfriends and such... But there's this one with a number 41 on his back... It's not a girl's name in his jersey... "IJAY" and he's annoyingly good looking... :) though he didn't caught my attention for that... Because I had other crush that time and my attention was focused on my crush... And suddenly while the game is on going... I watched a shot... A 3-point shot... And I was awed. From that night on he became the reason why I watched the league...
I always wanted to see him... Always pretend to watch the game because he's there watching too. As day passed by I've found myself thinking about him all the time... Always wishing he'll passed and stopped by... My mama liked him as well. But then the days passed and the summer vacation of 2003 ended... School time again.. My last year in elementary... Haven't seen him much during school times... That's why I always found myself wishing for summer break... Though it's not really a big deal not seeing him that time... I also have my crush in school anyway. But that summer vacation was really unforgettable... That was my first glimpse on him.
