Champions!

I unexpected got this shirt over my shift, and I was thinking, I wanted to blog about it…This is actually the champion shirt given to those employees who have participated and grabbed the champion trophy at the Teletech Sports League 2012- sounds athletic I know!...hehe I for myself joined the Volleyball event. I must tell you that I am not a volleyball player. I don’t play it, and I am afraid of the volleyball ball! You might have been asking why I got into the line-up. I’ll tell you all about it later on. So about volleyball; I have been hit once way back in high school and it was not the best place in the world. Anyway, I was supposedly going to play the Badminton event. However, there are a lot of registrants, and I was unlucky enough to be one of those "excess player"- bummer right? I was practicing so hard! Well enough with all the drama and move on. I was thinking, okay I’m gonna be your gorgeous photographer…hahaha (evul laugh!) So, I was taking photos here and there.

The complete volleyball line-up.

GO CHARTER!!!

 I was taking photos of the entire event including the volleyball players, and I was actually the only one cheering for them! That’s right, nobody was there because everyone is with the badminton event.  Suddenly, due to a little twist of fate, one of the volleyball player got tired and she says she needed a substitute- I forgot to mention there are no extra players and that this is a mixed volleyball. So, who is going to replace her?…Me!!! I was telling the captain, I really don’t know how to play and I’m afraid of the ball. He says I need to play otherwise the game might be rescheduled or worse we might get disqualified. He also assured they would all do the stunts and that I don’t need to do anything. My role then is just to stay put and let them do everything! True enough, I was just in the corner of the court and they did all the tricks. They just need me to let the game continue. Perfect!!! I was not doing anything at all until it’s time for me to take the serve. Good enough, I know how to serve- the only thing I know about volleyball. Goodness! I remember the captain saying like “that’s just easy!”, “just let the ball cross-over and you’re gonna be okay”- very convincing, right?...hahaha
 

Yeah! That is me on the far end of the court...hahaha

This is me surviving...hahaha

With my best blogger buddy Phioxee.

We are so champions!!!

As the game went on, I surprisingly enjoyed it. I love my team mate’s moral support over my serving and some misfortunes…hahaha Whenever, I talked about this experience to my work mates who weren’t there, they are all laughing like it was the most hilarious thing. They just don’t know how I felt way back then. Needless to say, I have again conquer my fright over a 3-pound ball…hahaha and hey! We won! We were the champion, and I was on officially on the line-up!!….hahaha  Thanks for keeping up with my silly life, till my next post…xoxo!
