Philippine Football Peace Cup 2012

092912. saturday.

Kreng, Kreng’s dad, Jerome, Jamie, and i went to the Rizal Memorial Stadium to watch the finals night of the Philippine Football Peace Cup 2012. i honestly had very little idea when we got there. all i know was that we’d be watching Azkals play, not knowing for what and against whom. bear with my ignorance, please. HAHA.

okay, so i was never a sports fanatic until today. not that i hate them, maybe sports are just not my cup of tea. the only thing i ever wanted was to watch a good field game (soccer/football/rugby) live. the feeling when you watch something live is always different, always better. especially when you watch a game match, you get  carried away with the crowd’s cheer, you feel and drink in the intense energy and great tension between the players. woooo! EEEXCITINGGGG! HAHA!

so football, huh?

i was really having doubts if i’d enjoy watching this game ‘coz this ain’t something i’m very knowledgeable of, so i thought i might not understand what was gonna happen. but heck, the game kicked off and i never felt like i was lost or anything. HAHA! the crowd was crazy and always excited. their energy was so contagious! we were shouting and jumping with every goal from the Azkals! plus, we were seated in front, so the view was perfect!

yey! Azkals won! woof-woof! the game ended with the final score 3-1. i must say it was an obvious win. moreover, another reason to celebrate was the fact that this was the first time Philippines won in an international football competition after 99 years! that long, huh? history in the making. woooo!

Here are the winners:

Champion: Philippines

1^st runner-up: Chinese Taipei

Bench Universe: The 2012 Denim and Underwear Show

091512. saturday.

i still have a hangover! HAHA!

first things first. thanks to Jerome for giving me ticket to watch, i wouldn’t have missed that show for the world.  HAHA!

the reason i was so excited? blame it on JAKE my love CUENCA. :)

Jerome, Jusz, Marfi, Lotalhie, and i watched the final night of Bench Universe: The 2012 Denim and Underwear Show at the SM MOA Arena together. good thing Marfi joined us. forget first day of work. right, Fi? we were all so game for everything. HAHA. we arrived early, so we still had time to catch up before the show started. been a while since we last saw the busy Marfi and Lotalhie. BTW, thanks for the Krispy Kreme treat, Lota!

the show began and the arena turned into a jungle!

the crowd’s energy was amplified when the models started putting the show on fire. oh well, how else would the audience react with such hot bodies gracing the stage? with every hot body showing up, there’d be a wild roar from the crowd, those of amazement, excitement and enchantment. HAHA.

enough talking, let these photos prove how great Bench Universe 2012 was. enjoy!

Me: hi, Jake! do you remember me? i was the one holding a light/glow stick...among the hundreds, remember! LOL. BWAHAHA.

America’s Next Top Model stars:

Sophie Sumner. she's so cute!

Allison Harvard. 

Dominique Reighard.

now on to the these sexy ladies. :) they were my favorites during the night.

Georgina Wilson, my ultimate girl crush ever! she's so beautiful! haha!

Jennylyn Mercado. i'm not a fan but she really stood out last night.

Bianca Manalo. she was such a refreshing sight. HAHA.

Lovi Poe was the sexiest and hottest that night. must say her entrance in that sea anemone float  was cool.

last but not the least, the HOT guys! DROOOOOLS!

Diether Ocampo.

funny. he’s one of the guys Lotalhie was waiting to see, but she missed him. she went to the powder room just when Diether showed up. poor Lotalhie. HAHA!

Enchong Dee. the canoe and the canoeing effect were great.

Richard Gomez, the original Bench model. he's ageless. girls still go wild seeing him.

Coco Martin. he was covered, but heck he still was so hot. YAAMMEEYY. haha!

Paulo Avelino. when he slightly inserted his hand in his brief, man he was so damn hot and the girls held their breath!  kanin pa po, dami pang ulam. HAHA.

the love of my life…

when the reason for my coming to the show got on to the stage, man did i freak out! i was screaming my lungs out. i didn’t know he’d be among the first to show up, so i was at a loss for words when Jakey love came up. swear to God he‘s the HOTTEST thing in whole universe! and when he stripped off that orange brief he was wearing to leave only a black t-back, i died! he playfully waved that thing he just removed and i was like, “Jake, you have no idea what that does to us girls!” HAHA! he killed it on the stage, baby! i’m not exaggerating, i’m speaking from the heart. HAHA! 

the HOTNESS that is JAKE CUENCA.

oh, your smile. I LOVE YOU, JAKEY. :)

after watching, i realized one thing. i don’t have a crush on him anymore, i’m now in love with him! HAHA. he’s the nicest person. he was the only one who approached the people waiting outside, the others just waved and smiled. what’s not to love? the angst, the body, the face, the personality.  oh Jakey, i’m totally under your spell. even as i’m writing(typing actually) this, i am still on a high and can’t help but smile. :)

Far East Movement ended the show with a bang!

another funny thing. before watching the show, i said i wouldn’t wanna wait for the stars outside the arena. heck, i, we ended up standing outside with the others. i was even subbing for Lotalhie as the frontrunner of the team sometimes. i did it not ‘coz i had no choice, but ‘coz i wanted to see Jakey! HAHA. oh Jake, what you do to me. HAHAHA.

dinner at Kenny Rogers was over, we should go home. but thanks to the very inconsiderate rain and greedy cab drivers, we weren’t able to do so. we had to kill time at Starbucks and wait for the clock to point at 4 a.m. before we could head to the terminal. was it the price we had to pay for having so much fun? HAHA.  we had no choice but to keep ourselves awake while waiting, so we ordered something to drink. i ordered for us and these were the names i gave the cashier girl when she asked. HAHA.

i did Lotalhie a favor and named hers Diether Ocampo. HAHA.

their drinks were labeled Jake Cuenca. HAHAHA.

mine was named Nona Cuenca. HAHAHA. i was Mrs. Jake Cuenca for a night.  balato nyo na sa'kin 'to. BWAHAHA.

t’was a LONG, LONG and CRAZY, CRAZY night. a lot happened when all we wanted was just to see Bench Universe. HAHA.

congratulations, Bench and Bench Universe! great job! thank you for giving us a badass show! we enjoyed it! :)
