Image
Here's part 8 of my project 365... Day 71 March 12 Quality time at home with my lovey hubby. He cooked Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce... super duper yummy! :) Day 72 March 13 We had a mini-reunion with the first cousins of my Dad. It was fun, though it made me miss my dad more... Day 73 March 14 I got my second student's permit today ( I got my first student's permit a decade ago...).. hopefully this time, I will learn how to drive. Goodluck to me! Day 74 March 15 My favorite fruit! Strawberries!!! Yummy! It really made my day.. :) Day 74 March 16 Squid balls! I was never allowed by my mom to eat street foods because of her fear that I might get sick when I eat those kind of food. But I have this thinking eversince that the squid balls being sold right outside MMGC church is clean... perhaps it's just my way to convince myself that it's okay to buy squid balls... hehehe :) Anyway, to cut this long story...

But that is the “be all and end all” of sports for me.   Yes, you are correct.   There is no trace of athletic blood   in my vein. Since Physical Education is always part of the curriculum in school, I cannot avoid but engaged in sports, but to no avail; I was always a mediocre. I think the old cliché – “Try and try until you succeed”   is not applicable to sports and me. I never excelled in any field and passed the subjects for my efforts and, of course, for making good in the written examinations. For example, playing volleyball becomes an earthquake drill whenever it’s time for me to serve the ball. They have to duck and cover because the ball goes everywhere and you’ll never know if it...
