* Shakey's V-League (11.14.08) UST vs. San Sebastian

This is the 2nd time that I would watch the V-League live at the Arena gym in San Juan, actually this is the continuation of my Rachel Daquis blog. Afterr having my jersey signed by Rachel Daquisme and my friend Richard (too) bought tickets and went inside the Arena to watch the second game which is UST against San Sebastian. Of course I took pictures of the game and at the same time watched the battle againts the two teams. The match was really exciting and I thought UST is losing but they won the 4th set and won the 5th set to win the game. UST fans are almost 75% of the crowd and they really cheered the Tigers to Victory. Was also lucky to meet Ateneo's Rookie Gretchen Ho after the game ^_^

* Shakey's V-League Live

A friend of mine Josh Tadena from Adamson whom I met at the 89.9 Magic station last year who also covers the games for Adamson (Volleyball) informed me if I'm interested in watching the games so I agreed because it is also an oppurtunity to take pictures.

We decided to meet at SM Manila because I don't know how to go to "The Arena Stadium" I woke up 9:30am and our meeting time is before 12 noon in SM Manila so I quickly prepared my stuff and of course Toki (my cam) then went to the meeting place.


I arrived 12:15pm and good thing I make it to the meeting place first before they do. I bought the courtside tickets so I can take pictures of the game and of course to take pictures of the players.


The games for the day are the ff.
1st game : Ateneo vs Adamson *Adamson Won
2nd game: DLSU vs UST *UST Won
3rd game: FEU vs Lyceum * *Lyceum Won


It was my 1st time to watch Shakey V-League live and I can say I enjoyed it. I thought Volleyball was not exciting to watch but I'm wrong.

I took some photos of DLSU players like Manila Santos, ADMU's Charo Soriano, UST's Denise Tan and FEU's Rachel Daquis. I'm now planning to buy a better lens so I can get better pictures in the future. I said to myself I would start watching the V-League because it's really nice watching the games and take note the ticket (courtside) cost only 100 bucks.
