the FEU (far eastern university) tamaraws won over the UST (university of sto. tomas) growling tigers in the men's basketball finals of the 78th UAAP (university athletic association of the philippines) giving them their 20th championship after 10 years.
in her TV patrol report, newscaster zen hernandez said that it was 20 years ago when the two teams faced each other in the finals and that time, FEU 'ang umuwing luhaan.'
me: 'that expression is interesting... 'umuwing luhaan' (go home in tears)... so in our culture when you lose you weep?'
sister: 'yes...'
me: 'but if you win you could also shed tears of joy, right? so win or lose you could go home with tears...'
uhm... the thoughts that cross my mind... :"}
