Svelte and I have been brewing a rivalry between us for the past days. We just do not agree on one thing and it is starting to affect our friendship in a way.
It started last Monday, we went out on our office break. After indulging on some rather expensive (but uber yummy) pasta and one-of-a-kind mint chocolate chip ice cream, we passed by a convenience store near our office building.
And then I saw it, a feast to our hungry eyes.
It’s the new UAAP issue of Chalk Magazine. College basketball has begun and everyone goes bonkers in this side of the Third World, especially that De La Salle Green Archers are back after last season’s suspension.
Deadma if the magazine’s layout became a poor man’s Harper’s Bazaar. Deadma if the magazine included that “other” collegiate league. Deadma if we kinda not looking forward for Santo Tomas Growling Tiger’s defense of our basketball championship. What really caught our attention was the “main” cover, featuring the age-old rivalry of Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles and La Salle on a different plane. That is, their latest hottie players.
Come on, if you see this cover wouldn’t you buy it as well?
“Hingang malalim (breathe deeply),” I teased Svelte before opening the mag.
You need to breathe deeply, too, before jumping. *Inhale, Exhale* Okay…
