INSULTED

Insulted. 

That is how I feel right now.   

Well maybe it's also my fault.  I was too engrossed watching basketball games, blabbing about ballers and hanging out with them.  Well I don't regret that, cause most of them are really good friends, actually like brothers.  

Our beloved RP Azkals are now popular after their great stint in the AFF Suzuki Cup & football is now making its way back to popularity.  As a football fan & player, it's normal that I'm so happy & excited with what is happening.  Because of that, I get snide remarks from friends like "pag dating ng July, makakalimutan mo rin ang football at azkals", "nag shift ka na pala sa football", "weh football player ka, di nga".  

Annoying and really INSULTING.

I just want you to know, 

Football is, and will always be my first love.  

I was a football player back in grade school, and I'm still playing 'friendly' football games with my guy friends.  I'm sure most of you would ask for a picture of me playing football, sorry, there's none.  I don't need to prove anything to you. 

I may not be one of the greatest football players, but my love for the game will show you how the sport means to me.  You know nothing.  You don't notice how my face lights up when I hear the magic words "Goal", "Penalty Kick", "Kick Off".  You weren't there when I argued with my mom because she was against with the idea of me playing.  It is a very expensive game, that's why she disapproved before, but she understands now.  

It is my life. It inspires me to be a better person. It defines who I really am.

As for basketball, those ballers would always have that special place in my heart but they'd have to understand they're not on top of my list.  It'll always be football (and the booters).
