" He scores! "

Filipinos have a thing for basketball,
I don't know why they like it so much,
It's like Japan is to Baseball as Europe is to football,

Most Sundays, some parts of the alleyway and side streets would be barricaded
and impassable to cars.

I don't think it's a hassle for most of the drivers,
I don't hear them complain about it,
but It is a bit troublesome for me, because instead of taking a
shorter trip to my destination,
I am forced to take the other street, only to find out
that it's also barricaded because, there's another basketball game happening.
When they're kind enough to let you pass, you take extra caution as not to
hit anyone or in case the ball accidentally hits your car.

Although, there are certain areas provided for this recreation and leisure event,
in a city where it's overpopulated,
It's literally not enough.

  4. I know how much passion we have for basketball and we don't generally have the required height for it to compete with others.
