Best Buddy

This Miss - I'll Miss

I never get to actually finally count the hundreds of candid/stolen shots of people ............

{from courtside reporters, coaches, UAAP officials, referees, cheerleaders, MY media colleagues ->photogs and writers [close and not so close to me], bouncers, ushers, relatives of players, their moms, dads, sisters,  uncle and aunts even .. just a whole lot - truth be told}

............ I get to accumulate after two elim rounds of the UAAP Basketball Tournament - suffice it to say - I practically don't know probably at least half of them [wild estimate] - [simply because they're random fans/spectators].

                                       July 27                               July 23

July 30

Point is, among the hundreds suggested above - there is actually ONLY ONE person who i specifically was able to take, at the least, several decent shots [candid, stolen  posed - whatever]  OF,  EVERY SINGLE UAAP Playdate !

                             
                                      August 2                                   August 3

During the [soon to end] Season 77 UAAP Mens' basketball Tournament - she was present [working] every single playdate - until her last assignment, sometime last week.  She's currently taking a break [having flown off somewhere with her barkada] somewhere in the archipelago ?

 August 9 - w/ Tricia

  August 16 - w/ Kristelle

August 27 - w/ Gabby

 WE have an "unspoken agreement" that she gets, at the least, several shots [candid, stolen, posed - whatever] EVERY SINGLE UAAP Playdate.

August 9

Sometimes, we don't even talk get to talk anymore [specially when she's preoccupied with her job - on court - working with the Courtside Reporters and her crew] - so when I pass by, she simply, and graciosuly gives the simplest of smiles and I click away - No words said - then I move on.

'Twas that simple.  Sometimes we get to do quick chit-chat {to catch up and all}  or whatever - it don't matter - basta I NEVER FAILED to have, at least, several decent photos of her from ALL the UAAP Playdates.

The last image in this post, bottom  [she's wearing BLUE]  - I took it on her last UAAP Playdate assignment.  Much later, She stated then, that afternoon, that it was her last stint on location, at least, as far as the UAAP Mens' Basketball Tournament [only] was concerned.

September 3

 

Maybe - I'll bump into her during the UAAP Volleyball Tournament [which, i believe is scheduled to commence Nov. 22 ??} - or in another ABS-CBN Sports & Action official TV coverage - Whatever -
 Who Knows ?
  
 It's ALL Good Though    .........
