I’m a Professional Football player
August 2, 2007My cousin carpools with me to the office because (and I delight to the idea) we work in the same building. He's only four floors up. It's just like how we live five houses away from each other. I have to report to the office by 9am, but he doesn't start until after an hour. Most of the time so far, we manage to park earlier than we expect, sometimes even earlier than 830 am. Recently, we found a way to pass the time when we're early. His office has a coffee table with a glass tabletop, and in the shelves under the glass are some squeaking miniature footballs. We use them to play football. He and I alternate as goalkeepers (the goal obtained by hitting the windows or the wall under them). It's a lot of fun, although I have to endure coming to the office all sweaty. I guess I have to pack my football kits every morning from now on. The small squeaky balls make for great football control practice, I'll come out with better ball control every morning after every professional football session. Now that's my idea of office productivity and development. We play football, we're also professionals, we're Professional Football players
Football is Life
July 30, 2007Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Indeed. The current absence of football in my life has made me want to kick at least everything in sight. There are only three things that are keeping me from doing it. One: I've got no one to pass what ever that thing is to. Or, Two: I see no goal post to shoot what ever I'm going to kick in. Or, Three: even though there is a goal post in sight, wala namang keeper, kaya wala ring challenge. If there was, then I'd already be playing football. How I miss the days I would do nothing but attempt to make the ball bend to a target blocked by some other thing (preferably a person, para panis hehe). Here's the part where I cry for help: If there's anyone out there who feels he's at home when i fact he is standing on a green patch of land with two goal posts at the end, and has work but still has time to play football, tell me. I need to.
see you around.
