Day 1, Nov 16 - The plane left earlier than scheduled that by 9 a.m. I have already deplaned. By the time I was at Mactan airport, Maddie has just left her house to fetch me. I suggested that we meet at McDo Mactan. I had pancakes.
From Tamiya to Brookfields area, the landscape has changed so much. Tamiya now has Robinson's supermarket and a terminal across it. The once planned Gaisano Mall now stood in once I remember to be an unused lot.
It's a good thing that Maddie's place is easy to find.
After freshening up, I took a nap until 2 p.m.
Its's funny that of all the people I contacted for information on how to get to PRC, only Dolly was confident about it. It didn't matter though as we decided to take a taxi. Hahaha!
There was no queue, and thankfully my card was made already. We left not more than 10 minutes later with a plastic that says I am an Engineer. Hahaha!
For the pre-game dinner, Ace joined us at KFC in IT Park.
Abellana was not as crowded as I predicted. Nothing beats the Negroshanon in supporting football. I found my seat no sweat but it was taken so I just sat at the far end with the humongous post blocking my site from the Azkals goal for the first half (as Maddie and company got tickets for a different rate). Ping and Eugene way after the kick off.Seatmates were great fans, their energy was contagious I was off my seat a lot :)
My biggest surprise for the night! James and Phil came in during the second half (My bad. Mary saw the two boys during the pre-game warm up to which I was oblivious, hence the surprise). For this game, I would say that I came to like Phil (but not as much as I adore his brother). His game has matured and he has learned to give. I really liked how Phil passed the ball to another team mate who scored a goal. That was a fantastic moment.
High and dry from all the excitement, we made our way to Fuente and had another meal before finally heading "home". It was already midnight.
