I should be busy Yet I am doing nothing Hello Petiks life!

Rite of Passage

Goodbyes are truly tough. It makes it more difficult if you have to say farewell to something that is a huge part of your life and especially if it is something that you cannot see in the future. I am grateful and thankful for the gift of family which 664 brought. Sunday lunches that extended to dinners, board games, legal and illegal parties, amazing race, running and games in the garden, santol, avocado, star apple, rambutan, bats err, table tennis, basketball, sleepovers, library, etc. --- these are just some memorable experiences from 664. After long talks and negotiations, we have to say goodbye to this heaven here on earth.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. Cheers to new experiences outside 664. I assure that it would be challenging to keep the bond intact but if there is a will, there is a way. May I find a righteous billionaire to marry so I could buy 664 back!

If

... he is not as macho at present would I even care? ... I did not neglect and snob him would our friendship deepened? ... he did not leave, would our situation be any different? ... I did give my sweet yes would our relationship lasted? ... he know these thoughts would it even matter? ... we finally see each other, would there be a future waiting for us?

Anniversary Bang

Happy anniversary to my knee. A year has passed since that life changing event. Despite the time that has elapsed I do not feel 100%. I can run but not accelerate into a sprint. I can jump but not leap. Physically I know I need to strengthen myself in order to get back in shape. My Rehab and Orthopedic doctors gave me their clearance months ago. It is all up to me to get my healthy lifestyle back. However, I use work as an excuse for eating my time. Am I afraid that I wont get back my old form?

In basketball, I am not the best offensive player. I am weak and small so it is a disadvantage for me to rough it up in the shaded area. My outside shooting percentage is not accurate too. My dribbling and passing needs work as well. I could say that my bread and butter is defense. I could hound the ball handler anytime. I could swipe the ball while the opponent goes for a break away layup. I could sacrifice my body to get a charge. I could block the bigs from the blindside.

In ultimate, my throws badly needs improvement. I only know flick and backhand. In addition, I get rattled especially when I am marked and throw Hail Mary passes. I could play mid but I need to work on the timing of my cuts. I could play long and catch those huck throws like a dog. But just like in basketball, I live in defense specifically in zone.

However, with my not fully healed knee how could I do all those things that I mentioned? It is very frustrating indeed. Yet, I have to start somewhere in order to move forward. And what great way to honor my comeback through playing in my first ever international tournament!

I joined a team which was only formed for the tournament. Lacing up my cleats and stepping on the field gave me butterflies again for I know physically I am not 100%. All that aside, I could not ask for a better first experience. I really learned tons of stuff and met new people from various parts of Asia.

It was truly a great honor to play in team who really loves the game and with excellent spirit. Though it still pains me to think that we lost by Universal, as a first timer reaching the finals was a bonus. It may appear as a failure of not winning the championship. Yet, it is just a lost game, not heart. Now I am one step closer to getting my mojo back to success.
