Coming home from work tonight, I went to take out some food at McDonald’s first. Upon leaving the store, I came upon a group of people, my usual Saturday badminton “buddies,” (the quotes because I actually only see them regularly in the courts but very seldom mix with them during play) and one of them asked me why I didn’t play that night. I can only smile and feel bad inside. Saturday without badminton feels odd and, quite frankly, a little incomplete. I’ve become a creature of habit! It’s been a while since I last passed up an opportunity to play hours of badminton for the weekend play-all-you-can fee of P80. But the recently concluded office tournament took a toll on me - I had a bad flu two days before the tourney and played through my first game without so much as a warm up or stretching exercise because I arrived late (by the time I’ve changed into the uniform, my partner and our opponents are already in the court). Anyway, days after, I haven’t gotten back my eagerness to be active and I’m still feeling lethargic. I can only wish to go back to the gym, hoping a few more hours each week on the treadmill or ellipticals will boost my energy. Maybe if I’ll win that Nike shoes auction, I can start thinking about making room in my schedule for the gym. Hay, I’m blabbering again and making this blog an extended Twitter.
