On Losing

I do not take losing very lightly. Yes, it is a fact that the outcome may not go as planned. I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying. I dislike the feeling of dissatisfaction or lack of fulfillment afterwards. It haunts me.

Clearly I am serious when it comes to Ultimate and Basketball. Too serious that I guess my passion gets in the way and my intensity gets the best of me. But then I again, it would be unfair to the sport if I do not go all out every single time may it be in practice or in an actual game. How would I except the sport to love me back if I held back? What is the sense of playing competitively?

Ultimate and Basketball are team sports. I am not taking it against anyone except myself, but I guess I just need to accept the fact not everyone shares the same seriousity that I possess to prevent future frustrations. Hopefully this will not stop me from pushing myself to achieve my full potential.

As they say: one should not stop trying to operate in excellence. I should keep in mind that no matter how discouraged I get I should still have DIGNITY. Therefore, I hope that even if it upsets me when things are not going as planned I can continue to push myself and not lose hope. Once I give up and lose hope, then it is already game over.

On Injury

Another conversation which transpired over lunch:

One of my officemates was not feeling well so we talked about our worst medical/health related experience.

OFFICEMATE 1: What was your worse sickness?
OFFICEMATE 2: I never got admitted to the hospital despite my migraine attacks and this amebiasis.
OFFICEMATE 1: Ako din, first time ko ma-hospital when I gave birth.
OFFICEMATE 1 looks at ME and asks
OFFICEMATE 1: Ikaw Kat, what was your worse sickness?
ME: HEARTACHE!

*laughter*

On Marathon

Over lunch this conversation transpired:

ME: So, how was your weekend?
OFFICEMATE: Ayun, nag-marathon kami.
ME: Ahh talaga? Sumali kayo sa Unilab?
OFFICEMATE: Hindi, movie marathon.

*Toinks!* I think nasobrahan na ako sa physical activities.

Untitled

I hate this feeling
Would be good to verbalize
Don’t know where to start

Family matters
Basketball and Ultimate
Spiritual stuff

Throw in career
Relationships and what-nots
I am puzzled

Too many nonsense
Running in my common sense
It hurts my “headache”

Maybe a breather
An alone time with myself
Is all that I need

A break from the noise
To make sense of this nonsense
Flooding my so-called brain

Time to press escape
And get out of this jungle
In hope to find peace

So help me God.

$#@!~

On Schedule
Hindi sa may sarili akong schedule, wrong timing lang. Mali ba na unahin ang pamilya? For crying out loud, kasal yun ng kapatid ko! Ano gusto yo, unahin ko ang career bago ang pamilya? ASA!

On Flexi Time
Hindi sa maarte ako na hindi maka-adjust sa biglaan na OT o 24 hour shift, ang hinihingi ko lang e i-inform ako nang maayos. Lahat aware sa palit ng shift at ito ako nag-iisa sa dilim. Ano gusto yo, o-OO lang ako pagkakuha ng email ng Friday late afternoon para pumasok ng weekend?

On Own Time
Hindi sa may sarili akong oras, pero mag aantay lang ba ako habang panahon? Kung open lang sa mga plano-plano e di sana ako gumawa ng sariling mga plano. Ano papalampasin ko lang ba ang mga araw sa kakaantay?

On Choosy
Hindi sa choosy ako, pero kung magagawan ng paraan bakit naman hindi. Tatahimik lang ba ako kahit na hindi ako masaya sa kalagayan ko? Mali ba na i-voice out ang aking mga pangarap?

On Palakasan
Hindi ako friendly, pero kailangan ko bang sumipsip para mapansin? Ms. Career Climber, takot ka ba at baka matalbog ka? Isa pa, pasensya nalang ako at hindi ako ang gf ng linalandi mo, bakla!
