So, I have been in the Philippines for about a month and a half now, and since arriving here so much has happened. I am beginning to feel as though recording and keeping up with my daily experiences is proving most difficult. Making a routine for my reflecting and introspection was something I thought would be easy and quite simple. It turns out, with a seemingly impossible schedule the only thing stopping me from writing was myself. So, with a focused and determine mindset to make entries a regular occurrence, I will start with a little bit of catching up.
The very first day I arrived to Manila, I was told that Kaya FC was conducting their last tryouts for the upcoming UFL Cup. Because I was new to the country and new to the league, I had no clue the level of the club nor infrastructure of the Cup. I knew that as a player fresh out the terminal, not too many people were going to know about the player I was, nor were they really anticipating my arrival. No one had a clue that a Chinoy from New York City has picked up and moved to the Philippines to play in the UFL with hopes to play for the National team.
Once I was informed that coaches and management from Kaya FC needed to get a look at me prior to their team selections, I knew I had to lace up even though I had landed just hours before. Despite the 21 hour travel time and not having been able to laid down on any flat surface for the last 40 hours I was determined to step out onto Manila soil and do what I love.
After training with the team for a week, the selections were apparent and I found myself surrounded by an very unique group of players, coaching staff, and management. With the incredible talent and potential displayed from the team, I was most happy to sign with club that’s mission and core values resonated throughout.
I am truly thankful for the opportunity Kaya FC has giving me to start a new season in the UFL, to start a new era in Philippines Football, to inspire upcoming football generations, and most of all to continue the long existing values of a reputable club and expand on a honorable legacy worth fighting for.
To this entry, I am proud to say I am apart of a very special team of players, staff, management, board members, sponsors, owners and last but not least… Fans.
