the winning fall and spi mini olympics

the highlight of this post isn't really the olympics. it was fun, though. met a lot of new people from different units. well, there were at least 60 green team members but time was too short to get to know them all... they were really kind and fun to be with =). more acquaintances to brush elbows with and smile at when you walk the halls of spi. nice =)

and i thought being a part of the cheer dancers would be ebarrassing... it went by in a breeze, haha... konting kembot kembot at step step lang naman. ok na... besides, we were 13 in the group people probably didn't even notice me there. hehe! yahoo! actually, we won 2nd place pa nga for the cheer! cool, eh!? no sweat!

ok here's the ultimate source of sweat and embarrassment haha! i participated in the 4x50 relay. it works this way, 4 players per team. the 1st runner (holding baton) will make a 50-meter dash, pass on the baton to the next player, and to the next, and to the next. i was the second runner. the entire spi population saw me, why not broadcast the event in my blog? haha!

thoughts before the dash:

i've been through mega-zillion dashes way back HS and college physical fitness exams, fairly scored on them, so why not? hehe you'll JUST run, anyway!

oooh... the floor of the oval track looks like asphalt. it WOULD hurt if you fell on it. it could actually badly scrape your skin! shouldn't they be putting carpet on this thing? hehe.

warm up, warm up para di sumakit kasu-kasuan...

thoughts during the dash/fall:

ok, it's my turn... gotta run with all my might!

i'm running, and running, and i'm losing control...

oh, i'm falling... madadapa ako... madadapa ako promise!!!

and i shrieked... not the girly type of shriek.. more like a monstrous shriek! geezzzz! felt the rough floor scrape, grate sounds a better word, grate my left elbow and palms and right knee. pain pain pain

nevertheless, i had to stand up and run a little more and pass on the darned baton to the next one, ate maj. we were the 4th placer (out of 6 ito). thanks to me =) hehe

thoughts after the fall:

i could vaguely hear the mc making me okray. nag dive daw ako haha!

did somebody take my picture when i dived? sana... post ko sa blog hehehe!

bat ako nadapa? it's not like i joined the sack race, which is a prone-to-dapa game... takbo lang yun ah. =(

oh well, the byproduct? yun nga, a 2.5-inch wound. oozing, excruciatingly painful wound hehe kadiri. na dumidikit sa gauze after some time so super painful tanggaling. waaah! should i be putting something on it, like an ointment or antibiotic? waaah! betadine lang lagay ko eh. oh, i have a picture of the wound! wanna see? hehe! later.

funny, when we got back to the bleachers, my teammate's bag was on my seat and i accidentally brushed my oozing wound on his bag. buti di nakita... hehe mega wipe na lang ako hehe. sorry po =(

waaah! aabay pa ko sa tuesday eh! di nga umitim kse di natuloy puerto, nagkasugat naman sus! anova!
