Excessive Marathons
Look! An update, but this does not mean that I’m not in hiatus mode anymore, unless I’ll have other things to say in the coming days.
Two days ago, I and some friends (from high school and grade school) played badminton at a local court. As usual, I’m the one who waited for the others to arrive. No matter how I procrastinate, I still end up waiting. And that’s frustrating me!
By noon, we were all at a local branch of McDonald’s and as most of us haven’t ate lunch, we decided to eat first. After an hour, we we’re already playing. The entrance fee was cheap: PHP 50.00, until you drop. The thing is, I’m neither a badminton enthusiast nor a sports aficionado. I’m no good at any sports. It’s just so ironic to me that I was there. Still, I played: I won in some games, I lost in most games. Lol! Nevertheless, I had a great time.
While catching our breath, we ridiculed our teachers back in high school, here are a few examples that made us laugh once again.
- Pagtrabayuhin
- Kumbintu
- “Is zero an odd number?”
- *Teacher tries to spell the word ‘ghost’* G-O-S-T “Kulang po ng ‘H’.” G-O-S-H. Gosh! Wooohoo!
- “Okay, I’ll call you in random.” (I thought to myself: “Cool! He knows the word ‘random’!”) Well, our teacher called us alphabetically. Do you call that random?
- One of our teachers mispronounced “gauge” as “goose.” He gave us a weak alibi: “Sorry, malabo yung photocopy ko.” All of our copies were clear!
Two days after our badminton session, my body still aches. I’m having a hard time moving. But I’m still looking forward to our next badminton session next week.

I’m also having Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy marathons. These two programs are great. Way to go, Tim Kring and Shonda Rhimes!
As for Amazing Race, I didn’t expect that Eric and Danielle will win. As usual, the last roadblock was hard. Nevertheless, congratulations to them!
Sorry for this lame entry.
