FATE

Have you ever wonder why does everything we do, if feels like we knew it from the very first start? As in like a dejavu or something that really bugs you in your head? Well, I felt it long long ago. The first time I played badminton I thought that I can make it to the top and I did although it's not that long because of the accident I said from my previous article way way back. And here I am, still playing and I know that I play even though that it was tough for me to do it, I still played because it's fate.

As I was looking something about fate, I remembered about my previous school-- Colegeio de San Juan de Letran fighting the San Beda College in the basketball game in the NCAA. I saw this article http://www.philstar.com/sportsarticle.aspx?publicationsubcategoryid=69&articleid=860740&keyword=sp_pba about Letran being in the final four seat against San Beda Red Lions. Is it fate that this two will fight against each other? Yes! In the previous years, the Knights fought hard to overcome trials and is hungry for a title while San Beda Red Lions fight hard to become one of the best teams there is.

Coach Alas said, "We’ve been through a lot and defied the odds. Who would have thought after we went 4-5 (win-loss) we still managed to end up in the Final Four and now in the finals. Whose charges overcame the Stags’ twice-to-beat edge with 92-76 and 73-70 victories last week.

“That’s probably destiny, we’ll see,” Alas said.

According to the article, San Beda is also trying to become the first team to accomplish a three-peat thrice. The Knights scored a pair in the 1931-34 and 1982-84 seasons with the Lions matching it in 1934-37 and 2006-08. From the said article I thought that way way back, The Knights and the Red Lions were already fighting there ass off to destroy each other in other for each team have the glory to be the number one.

As a fellow Knight, I think that Letran can win this championship because we train and fought hard although we rode in bulky and tough rodes to overcome the problem that we face in the sport itself and as a team. All they need to do is to train well, fight hard and play harder to defeat their arch nemesis-- the San Beda Red Lions
