Cocky

Yesterday, in my Badminton class, I paired with a female classmate who’s, uh, not that good. It was a mixed doubles match against Sigrid and Mark, the latter being quite more dexterous than I am. As it turns out, obviously, I was not happy of what my partner was doing. I hate it when one doesn’t know what to do inside the court (as if I was not like it at first, hehe). I was acting very lazy and uninterested when…a bird was volleyed near the net and poof! I smashed it, of course. And it landed where? Well, it hit Mark. Nyahahaha! :laugh: For some reason, it somehow gave me the spirits to give the game a little ‘play.’ I also noticed that Mark was already practicing doing a slice serve. I think he was stunned when he saw me doing it before, and cannot accept the fact that he couldn’t do it, provided that he’s already played in the sportsfest and I haven’t. :tongue: We ended in 3 sets. Not bad.

P.S. Euri, I know you’re not into sports, so please bear with this post. :tongue:

Fantabulous Week

I just came from the court. I watched the Volleyball varsity team do their practice. A match between the guys against the girls was ongoing. Right now, I somehow want to join na. However, my stomach going into almost unbearable pain prohibits me. Anyway, the week is yet again about to come to an end. Many things have happened, and I just have to blog them out. :cheerful:

• Monday: Played Badminton with Robert, a 2nd year, against Mr. Hannibal and my PE classmate David. Guess what, we won. 😎
• Tuesday: Ate spaghetti then batchoy together with my classmates at the CUB (College Union Building, i.e. canteen) and had funny conversations.
  

  (the ones in italics are actual lines)
  Me: I want to play Tennis.
  John Paul: Let’s play then! Ay, officer ka pala ‘noh.. (refers to the meeting of our org officers that afternoon)
  Me: Oo nga eh..

  Everyone laughed. It’s because I never speak Tagalog with them. :tongue: Our teacher in CMSC124 didn’t hold a class that afternoon and it didn’t escaped our minds the thought that she is pregnant because her belly really looked different when she once wore a tight blouse. :faint: That night, I played the greatest Volleyball match of my life. :laugh: I won’t elaborate much. A down-the-line spike and about five (ace) blocks would be enough.

• Wednesday: I got the highest score in our quiz in Math114 (Linear Algebra). There were actually two of us who got 9/10. The quiz was, unexpectedly, about Matrix concepts. And I find it really ridiculous that most of us only got scores around 5. Our teacher always use a laptop and a projector when lecturing, but it was still a surprise for us when he opened a program called My Classroom Records and did the tallying of the scores right before our eyes! 😯 Also, I was laughing out loud before class started because my classmate Schiren has this line:
  

  I don’t care. I don’t mind. I don’t give a damn. 😆

• Thursday: Played Badminton with Ma’am Tina (and Sir Faina, our Math114 teacher) against Dube and that Division of Biological Sciences staff who makes very funny and ‘feminific’ gestures and expressions that does not fail to make the game lively.
• Fri(To)day: Exam in Software Engineering was [no comment]. We had our first touch of Prolog programming in CMSC124.

My roommate when I was still in my first year is here at school again, paying a visit. He is presently working at a call center (who wouldn’t anyway) somewhere in Manila. Last year he also did the same thing. Look at what being single could do to a person — a spendthrift. Haha. Ati-Atihan Festival in Aklan will be tomorrow. I can’t go because none of my classmates who are from the place are not going home. I will still look forward to going there before graduating. Ehem, I guess that would be enough random thoughts for now. Have a great weekend everyone!
