When was the last time you had a first time??? Well, last Saturday, I got the rare chance to experience another first time. At age 25, I experienced for the the first time, playing in a DoTA Tournament. It was exhilarating!!! My team, Team Juan Luna, joined for the sake of joining. We were composed of four girls, two kids, my cousin Dwer, and another guy. Luckily, we were matched against a “not so good” team during the eliminations. During that round, I played together with Dwer, John, Dodong, and McDo. I played using Warlock which I have been practicing with for the longest time. He’s one of my favorite heroes. Shocking! Our team dominated over the other team, and we WON! Unfortunately, we lost to the STQ1 Team during the semis. I didn’t play during the semis. My cousin Luan, substituted for me.

After the elims, I went to C5 and hung out with my Sequel Juan Luna (SJL) friends… all of them had long hair. Hmmm… Why kaya? Then, we split up for a while. I went to Jimber’s Gaming Cafe to support my team (Team Ria Jose, NetExpress Duterte Champs, Haha!!!). They lost to a team from Kidapawan. After that game, I went to SJL to meet up with one of my friends so we can go to Wheels n More Drive together. At Wheels n More, I hung out with the SJL boys, the Jimbers boys, and some of the STQ boys.

Last Sunday, Luan, Gwing and I hung out at Gwing’s house. Then Dwer, Luan and I went to Victoria Plaza to buy some DVDs. Then, we ate out with Dwer’s mom and brother at De Bonte Koe. The steak there is immaculate. I also had their very tasty Tomato Soup. Luan had their weird but delicious Mango Soup. After that, we “went out for coffee.” We went home at around 3 am na.

Now, it’s back to the real world where work is mounting…
