The 75th season of the UAAP has officially started yesterday. With NU hosting, many expected that the opening ceremonies will be grand with the acquisitions and developments from its new owner, Henry Sy. True enough, the festivities were kicked off at the newly built SM MOA Arena where most of the games will be held. The show was simple but decent to watch. I heard they spent 15 million for the opening ceremonies alone. Accdg. to the news report, more than 17, 000 were in attendance.


NU and UE was the first match-up of the season. NU did not waste time in making a statement to all teams by blowing out their opponent by 35 points! Not surprising as they are the pre-season favorites to go up against last year's champion team, ADMU. The second game was a very close fight between UST and FEU. UST led most of the match only to crumble in the end and lose by 1 point. But despite of the result, both of the two teams proved they are a force to reckon with.


Earlier today, DLSU got their first win against UP. I know they are not exactly one of the heavy favorites but I did not expect them to have such a hard time against UP. Maybe it's the first time jitters or the new arena but I was disappointed with the win that was almost taken away by the Maroons at the last minute. It's a good thing the players have a good composure at the end to keep up the small lead we had and finally seal the deal.


Lastly, the defending champs, ADMU had quite an easy time against ADU in the 2nd game.  It was quite predicable since ADU lost a lot of key players so the game got quite boring.


I think this will be an interesting season. I actually want to watch the next games on Thursday which will be held at Araneta since I like the games that will be played that day.


This week, The Dark Knight Rises will start showing in cinemas. I kinda lost excitement over that movie since I'm still on a Spiderman high but I'll try to get my ticket early! Speaking of ticket, I heard the Maroon 5 concert is almost sold out. I'm so sad cause I wanted to see them live so badly! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that tickets will be on my way soon.
