It’s Time to Play the Game…
Getting your mind preoccupied from work and personal matters is quite a task. People will actually wonder how can a guy like me be stressed with the work I do? I don’t even bring my work home. Maybe its personal issues clouding me and as much as I wish to just "format" my brain, my heart and soul, it never is easy. It’s a good thing I got friends who watch my back and a wife in the Philippines who try to keep me in check. I even feel luckier that my brother is there during troubled times.
There is only so much Misato can do for me. She sings and keeps me preoccupied and till now I’m paying my creditors, but she’s worth every fil I spent. As I go about soul searching, I’ve actually decided to go back to my roots. I’ve always been a sports fan and I would really love to go back to my love of "balls." Now for that green minded dweeb grinning sinisterly, I am referring to activities I love to do like play basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, cross training, darts, mountain-biking, so on and so forth. When I was a kid, I believed I was destined for greatness in the sports world; unfortunately fate laid its cruel hand over me in basketball because my folks were away from the Philippines. I was going to have something positive going in soccer with the Blue Eagles and hopefully the national team but I had neglected my studies and got kicked out of Loyola.
But past is past. God gave me a physique that is adaptive; hence I’m actually a sports buff. A couple of weeks ago, I managed to play off my rust in billiards and hopefully this week I can start playing off table tennis. Time for me to buy myself a Stiga racket, I can’t wait to have my hands to get a grip on it. If only a badminton club existed here, I would most likely be there as well. I love sports, I wish it were my profession but alas, I play them regardless. Hopefully, I can carry on with this passion and keep this competitive nature in me alive. Let the games begin!
By the way, do you smell that?
Its the smell of competition…
