Litratong Pinoy: Nakatali (Tied)

Badminton. Ito ang pinaka-paborito kong sports, kung ako ay nasa loob ng badminton court ninanais ko lagi na ako ay nakapaglalaro ng maayos at nasa kondisyon. Ngunit sa ngayon ako ay magpapaalam samantala sa kinagisnan ko na laro marahil babalik ako ulit sa susunod na taon, dahil bawal na maglaro ang isang babaeng buntis na gaya ko.

Kaya sa araw na ito ang lahok ko ay ang pinakakailangang gamit sa paglalaro ng badminton dahil kung wala ito paano ka nga ba makakapaglaro? hehehe.. Ang raketa ay may tinatawag nating "string" na nakatali sa "raket frame" na aayon sa gusto mong tension.

Badminton. This is my favorite sports. Whenever I'm inside a badminton court I always see to it that I play to the best of my ability and body condition. But these days I'm saying goodbye to my favorite sports and hopefully to get back on the court by next year because it is prohibited for pregnant woman like me to indulge in sports.

So today, I'm sharing to you the most important tool in badminton, the badminton raket. Of course how can you play badminton without it. A badminton raket has a string tied on it's frame, with different tension according to your preference.

That's it!  Happy LP!

Litratong Pinoy # 92 Iyo (Yours)

Buti na lang at tapos na ang dalawang araw na seminar ko tungkol sa "Site and Equipment Identification and Labelling" kaya heto ako ngayon nakahabol pra sa Litratong Pinoy sa araw na ito na may temang "Iyo".

Ito po ay kuha ko noong Sabado habang ginaganap namin ang maliit na torneo sa aming grupo sa badminton. Kami ay nakabuo ng apat na pares kaya itinuloy namin ang tourneo na may pot money para sa magiging kampeon.

Ito ay isang kuha ko habang si Jong2x nakatingin ka Padre Iking na parang sinasabi "sige na nga sa iyo na shuttle na yan, iyong iyo". hehehe

Ano sa tingin nyo?

Luckily the 2-day seminar about Site and Equipment Identification and Labeling ended early today, I was able to do my post Filipino Photo with theme "Yours".

I took this photo last Saturday when our badminton group hold a little tourney. We were able to complete four pairs and push through with the tourney with pot money and the champion will have to take with them the whole amount of the pot money.

The pictures shows Jong2x looking at Father Iking and seem like saying "That shuttle is "yours", so take it take it". lol

What do you think?

I Missed Badminton

Today, together with my friends we went to watch a badminton tournament held here in Iligan City with big cash prizes at stake. I missed badminton and I feel so envious because I wasn’t able to join or can’t join the tournament because I’m already not fit for the competition. I can’t play straight sets because I lack stamina and I gained so much weight.

Badminton was an addiction to me during my 20s, I’m always inside a badminton court to play and play. I even taught Jessie how to play so that I can spend my remaining hours at the badminton court without him ranting at me.

During my 2-year stay in Manila badminton has also been my energy source so as not to feel empty and bored living alone in the very busy city of the Philippines. Badminton court was my favorite hangout, tournaments was the best drink for me. I joined so many badminton tournaments then, I have been the center of attention in Manila Badminton circuit since I’m just a province girl and had took the limelight from them on middle level tournaments and gathered so many trophies and medals until I left left Manila August last year. I moved to Zamboanga and haven't enjoyed badminton since then, it wasn't a craze there and I also don't have friends to play with.

Now I can’t even run and cover the whole court during our game, this is what happens if you stop playing for many months and gained so much weight. I’ll just wish I can lose weight and regain my stamina so that I can join badminton tournaments again.
