my complicated life

my officemates, alfred and jess, thought of teaching me tennis today. kulet nila eh but then, nagpapilit na rin ako because i wanna try out if i can manage this sport or not. and since, i don't have anyone to play badminton with, i might as well shift into another sport that i would have playmates.

right after office work, we went to our newly-constructed gym with sasi, a fellow technician. the building has four separate gyms that can be set-up depending on the sport that you want to play. it is also fully air-conditioned, with sound system, pull down/up benches for audience, very clean changing rooms with lockers, retractable hoop&ring for basketball... in short, high-tech amenities.

the lesson started with proper holding of the racket, then the correct arm position and later on with the techniques on how to make topspin. i had no problem with making topspin, however, i don't do well with control and also receiving. sobrang lakas ng tira pero mabagal (weird noh) at hindi ko masambot yung tira nung kalaban. hehe. aahh. kelan kaya ako magiging athletic??!!!! i was just a second-rate, trying hard, copy cat version of friends who are into sports. =(

after 2 hours, i was exhausted and naliligo sa pawis. but then, enjoy huh. ewan ko lang bukas, kasi for sure masakit kasu-kasuan ko nito. hihi.
