On Lack of Social Skills

I had a hunch that he would be there since he confirmed his attendance in the FB event. But who would have thought that I would sit across him? Naturally I said "Hello" matched with a wave. I didn't know what else to say. Alangan naman sabihin ko na "I crush you! <3".

He just silently sat right across me. I wanted to start a conversation but I didn't know what topic. Eventually he addressed me but I was tongue tied and only managed to utter "YES".  Ang eye candy kasi ya e. 

After soup and salad, a "new comer" arrived. It was then I realized that we weren't introduced formally. Whoops at medyo main course na kami. 

Social skills where are you when I need you?

On Throws

If it works, why fix it?

The essential thing is to reach point B from point A. It may not be the best of the best deliveries, but I have been successful... a couple of times.

Case A:
The single point against a top team was a fruit of my assist and of course the dive of my teammate after the opponent deflected the disc.

Case B:
I have been kinda successful during begnite, minus the direct low passes that got deflected.

Self, do not be hard headed. Time to go back to basics for fundamentals is the key. No more tamad throws. Hello to lounge level throws. Hopefully confidence will follow.

On Late

Monday I came in at 9:10. I think I still had a hang-over from the weekend road trip. Tuesday I got in at 9:45 due to Juaning. I still did not learn my lesson. I got caught in traffic at bed and I got in at 9:15 today.

Daddy is not around for a month. But that should not give me the luxury to come in work late. If my colleague can come in at 7am daily, why can't I?

Kuya Jess, please give me the character to get me out of bed. Commitment to move me to action. Discipline to enable me to follow through.

On Something and Nothing

It does not follow that there is really something if a handful of people say they see and feel something. The eyes may deceive and make actions appear otherwise. The brain thinks it sees something thus it processes this cognitive thought that they feel something.

Ika nga ni Bob Ong, “Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.”

If there is really something then something should have transpired. So what is this entry for if there is really nothing?

On Team Sport

I was immersed in sports at a very young age. During summer, I used to play those kiddies running games aka monkey monkey, shake shake shampoo, etc. with my cousins from my mom's side and neighbors. During Sunday lunch with my dad's side, I was the saling pusa when my cousins played ball at the garden. At school, lunch was reserved for patintero or 10-20 and dismissal was for badminton, kickball, table tennis, shooting or whatever game we came up with. Come grade 6, I was asked to join the basketball varsity. Basketball has been a huge part of my life until I graduated high school. Come college I planned to concentrate on my studies but things did not turn out as planned. I was recruited during Fresh Start and played the whole 4 years. When I started to work, there was badminton Mondays. Yet I still felt sluggish. I felt that my concern was heard. One of my college teammates YM-ed me and asked if I was interested to join their competitive team. As if basketball was not enough and I entertained Ultimate.

In the numerous games, tournaments, leagues or whatever you call those, I only experienced one championship. But this hasn't stopped me from playing and giving my all in each instance. I guess I would not stop until my body cannot take it anymore.

Fact: In every team sport there will always be a winning team and a losing team. I always strive to be part of the winning team. How about you?
