Strapless Saturday: From a Rookie [PBA Fan's] Perspective

[To keep this blog alive, I shall have my weekly posts titled "Strapless Saturday."]

Just before the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Rookie draft 2013, I noticed my Facebook and Twitter feeds were already hyped with excitement on who will be placed on what team. I came to realize that our very own college hoops players will be advancing to be pros already. That's why. Boy, made me feel old.


The recognition on most of the players to be drafted was inevitable. These were the people we once cheered and jeered for. And now, the school pride won't matter anymore. (Well... not really. Hahaha.) It's a matter of who will make it to the cut and if these players will stand out on the national basketball league.

And so, the D-Day came. Teams have picked and traded. Former allies became [basketball court] enemies and, quite unexpectedly, enemies became allies.

Yes, bro?

Yup, college hoops no more.

So What's With the Name?

The Twisted Bra.

If you're a woman reading this part, let me ask you: How many times have you experienced discomfort because your bra strap coiled as if it instantly has a life of its own?

Have you even tried fixing it? In public? Rushed to the restroom to straighten things up? Or you just leave it there... err, twisted? And bulged at your back?

(*Oh, if you're a man, skip that part. You didn't? Great.)

Pet peeve. Yup, it's one of my many mentally-listed pet peeves. Or I guess like most people, I hate it when there are things that aren't in place and I can't handle that easy.
