jumping in the badminton wagon

Ok, so maybe I may be a little too late. After all, badminton fever hit the metro around a year ago. But it's never out of style to burn those calories and to feel good about yourself.

Last night, I played badminton at the top floor of some obscure elementary school in Q.C. I've been doing it for about a month now. And it's so much fun! Sometimes, my "playmates" and I keep score. I've lost more times than I've won, but I don't really mind. I play for exercise. :)

I even bought my first ever badminton racket yesterday. And I got it for free! Free in the sense that I used GCs (gift certificates) my old office paid me, instead of the usual moolah. I even bought a towel grip because last week, my forefinger got skinned from clutching the racket.

So there. I have a "new flame" in the realm of exercise. Before, it used to be jogging. I remember me and my officemates faithfully going to U.P. Diliman thrice a week to jog. We didn't care if we had overnight video editing, just as long as we jogged. We even joined two marathons! Not that we were sporty; it was more like being adventurous.

Badabing Badabadminton! For now, it's my day's saving grace, especially after having pigged out. ;)
