Full of Basketball

First Game
Downside:
My knees got pipi. Ouch! It was my first stint on the court... it was the first sequence.. and then there. What should I have done? Prevent the fall? Or continue it? Damn wood burn! Ewwy!
Upside:
We won.

Second Game
Downside:
The team only scored 2 points -- split free throws, in the 3rd quarter. Fouls were nt called. Point blank baskets missed.
Upside:
I made 8 points in the 4th quarter. We won!

Third Game
Downside:
Sorry sorry... no more battery no more battery.
Upside:
We won.

For the first time in my 25 years of existence... I got full of basketball. Then again, it was 3 games in a day with only 1 game rest in between, who wouldn't? Take note, I had my first Muay Thai experience.

Another set of 3 games tom. Wish me luck!

The Science of 8 Limbs

I had another first experience awhile ago. Being the feeling health and fit addict that I am, I joined my officemate in a session of Muay Thai. The instructors/Krus were very accommodating and funny. First we did some stretching, then introduction to Muay Thai a.k.a. the science of 8 limbs. Afterwards, Kru taught us the basic weapons and blocks. Last part was sparing and cool down.

All in all it was a great experience. It was a good kind of pain. Sarap mag-pawis. At the same time, hopefully I picked up some stuff on how to protect myself in case of emergencies.

Lesson learned: protect my "jew". :)

Will be back on Friday! :)

Basketball and Love

Basketball is like love. There is risk involved in every game that you play. In each game there is a risk for you to not only get physically hurt but for you to get emotionally hurt as well. Likewise, in love you let yourself out in the open and allow the other party to hurt you.

Despite all the risks involved, I still love basketball. I guess all the challenges, struggles, pains and sadness will be nothing since there is hope to overcome all these. Winning compensates for everything.

I really owe a lot to the sport. Up to now, it still teaches me a whole lot about life. It is about hardwork, teamwork, respect, trust, hope, perseverance, humility and camaraderie.

I hope and pray that this weekend will be our weekend. Jess, if this is our time, may it be done. If not, then I will accept it... Like what they say.. "it is alright to fall a thousand times. As long as your remember the fight and not the falling".

On Being Maalalahanin

I see myself as a caring person. Even if this person always tells me: “insert my name”, ang sama mo.” I guess she is just being sarcastic because another person says I look like someone who will not do any kalokohan or stupid stuff.

So which is which? Am I walang pakialam or may pakialam?
