First day of school. God only knows what's in store for me today.

Anyway, was watching Studio 23 last night and there was a special on Ateneo's Blue Eagles for winning the UAAP championship. Why make a special? Is it because it's been several years since Ateneo won? If DLSU had won, would they be making a special? Maybe it's a ploy by the ADMU for good PR. Or maybe just a money-making gimmick by the studio.

Well, the team did give thanks to Mary at the end of the show and Noelle would probably be happy that someone's praising God for their victory but for me. Well, the players might be sincere but Studio 23 didn't have to broadcast their thanks and prayers nationwide. I mean prayer should be a solitary thing between you and your God. Either Studio 23 is trying to cash in on Ateneo's victory, or Ateneo is trying to set up big PR with this. And as usual, why is the focus solely on the basketball team when Ateneo has other athletic teams that have won time and time again?

And of course, during the show, there were some bad things said about DLSU. Ugh. As if the rivalry wasn't fierce already. And the fact that they're having a special feature revolving around Ateneo's win is something to hurt injured pride as well.

Oh yeah, the commercials were fun. I guess Enrico Villanueva's UAAP career paid off as he's the star of this hairstyling gel commercial. It was actually quite funny. There's one where he's having a bad hair day and the commercial told viewers not to let this happen. Another was where he and BJ Manalo were playing basketball with each other but their faces are hidden... and when it finally shows their faces, their hair color was that of their school colors. Blue for Villanueva and Green for Manalo.
