Bowling...

This morning, we had our PEDUFOR (Bowling) class at SM Mega Mall. We had drills and a game set. I'm having a hard time executing the 4-step slide something drill where you take 3 steps and slide your left foot and place your right foot 45 degrees behind your left foot. Well, I actually estimate 45 degrees since it's difficult to measure exactly. In the game set, I hit 59+ pins out of 100 something. I had a lot of spares and splits, some gutter balls and a strike. Well, the strike is actually after I hit a pin. XD After the class, I went to school and ate lunch. Then, instead of having SOHONET, we had "Strategic Marketing" seminar for our first period. My blockmates connived to just sign the attendance sheet and then, leave the multi-purpose hall. After everyone left our classroom, I wrote this on the whiteboard:

BM71 SOHONET class,
Please proceed to the MPH1 for the "Strategic Marketing" seminar.
Don't you dare push through your evil plans. My watchful eyes are upon thee.

A tout a l'heure,
Regenald A. Isip
BM71 block representative

When the seminar ended, my blockmates immediately went up our room. When I arrived, the first two lines of my note were erased. One of my blockmates asked me, "Are you still the block representative?" I answered, "Need not to answer that." I then went out of the room. One irritating fact is that they already have me as the block rep so to speak, yet they don't recognize me as their block rep. I do a lot of things in favor of them ( decrease the temperature of the aircon, talking to professors when they don't want to, etc.) yet they replaced me. They picked this blockmate of mine who laughs at everyone's mistakes, including mine; is hypocritical; has a bad behavior etc. When they need me, they go and look for me, and persuade me. If they don't need me, they just leave me behind.

People persuade you and get along with you when they need you. When they no longer need you, they just throw away. I'm not generalizing. Some people do that.

FILIONE came. We just listened to our classmates' life stories. Some make you laugh, others make you cry. *sigh*

Life is like bowling. Not all the time you hit a strike. Sometimes you hit a spare. At times, you simply can't hit the center and hit a split. There are times when you just miss and have gutter balls. But remember, after hitting gutter balls, there's an all new set of pins ready for you to take on.

  1. The last part is very philosophical. You have a great mind, bro! Keep using it for God. Cheer up and don't mind the people who put you down. Have a great week!
