Trying (hard) to be Athletic


My athletic credentials:
1. Have been a volleyball player both my elementary and high school days

uhm... that’s pretty much all of it.

Lately I go to the gym at least twice a week, which also includes two taebo/dance aerobics classes weekly. But with the desperation to lose weight and an attempt to challenge myself to be as "slim" as possible, I decided to give the word 'SPORTS' a chance.

With this in mind, all these happened between Saturday and Sunday:

~ I played badminton – this one I can say I may have an edge with. I sort of know how to smash already, so to speak.


~ I jogged – I still need to figure out how to pull out my endurance. I can run as much as 3 KM in a treadmill but can’t quite stand running 15 mins straight on “real ground.”

~ I started playing basketball – I did not expect I would enjoy dribbling and shooting (haven’t tried playing the game itself). Although my shooting level is the same as those 7 year old neighbors I played shooting with (from which I lost), I still enjoy shooting the ball (don’t get me wrong, I still hate the song “i-shoot mo, i-shoot mo i-shoot mo na ang ball…”)

~ I played tennis – my father has won so many tennis competitions but none among us siblings know how to play it. As a beginner, I played one on one with the tennis wall: guess what, I lost! Tennis is still more enjoyable playing in a real court with someone your level.


Tara! Laro tayo!
