Ok, so I just woke up and I HAD to look at the mirror to see my puffy face. That’s sooo discouraging. Where are those weight loss products when you need them?

So, just like any normal person would do, I went straight for my laptop to check my e-mails and then my Facebook and Twitter pages. Hah! I got a new message from a friend asking me about badminton, so I guess that’s the last push I need to decide that today is definitely going to be badminton day. At least tonight. No work, no chores can stop me. Pretty please.

Competition

I don’t do well in competitions. I guess you can say I don’t have that killer instinct that winners got. I don’t wanna call it having a weak heart but it would be too self-righteous, rather insecure, and possibly not 100% accurate  for me to say that part of it is because I don’t enjoy seeing other people get upset and disappointed when they lose. I am just not competitive by nature.

Which is why it’s ironic that I keep on joining badminton tournaments. Just today, I almost got eliminated from an intercompany badminton tryout because of my passive style of play. But a single point from elimination, I somehow managed to get my stuff together. I was pretty pleased with myself because I felt, for the first time, that I really had to do the mental thing to earn my place. I wanted to hug the fitness equipment around right after that.
