Baaaaadminton

a bruised left knee
a sore blood clot in the right sole
a shaking, anemic and dysfunctional right hand
back ache
shoulder ache
head ache
a sorry limp. on both legs!
a disgraceful official rookie record of 8 points in an hour and a half game play
a battered ego
a thorough beating
and free lessons

These are the things you get when you try to beat a seasoned badminton player while trying to put up a show and to look like an experienced and able champ when the truth is it was your first time to even hold a badminton racket. wehe

exhausted after an hour and a half for 115 pesos per hour (my first time to pay just to play)i think i did fairly well being a first timer, i guess nobody noticed my missed shots that looked more like a baseball strike than a missed shuttle cock (o seattle cock? :) hehe now i realize, an hour of badminton is equivalent to 2 hours of basketball, 5 hours of baseball, 10 hours of table tennis and perhaps a week of jolens and a whole year of chess! hehe those are just rough estimates.

the truth is before enteng invited me i was reluctant and skeptical about the game, i mean the sport, and almost used to believe it too girly and even thought im not that old to resort to badminton instead of playing basketball or baseball or anything- you get the point. (peace tayo bossing!) but of course yesterday proved how ignorant and wrong i was so next week ulit alright! (friedwater, turuan mo ko pano mangwasak ng shuttle cock. wehe pilit kong wasakin eh para matigil na ang laro kasi abot tuhod na dila ko wehe di na wasak)

And PAALALA: Cigarette smoking after playing badminton is bad for your health. (buti na lang nagising pa ko amputsa sumakit baga ko.wehe )
