Badminton

Last thursday was our championship game and we placed second in both mixed doubles and mens double.

Im not really good in badminton as a matter of fact i seldom play this game. However, this year our company decided to have an inter-color tournament. Although i hardly play this game but the athlete in me made it easy for me to play this game.

I was a baseball varsity player from high school to college - center field in high school and 2nd base in college. In high school we were the champion in our inter-school tournament.

Champion or not its the fun and excitement that matters. But it would have been better if we were the champion :-)

Durian Season

Its one of my favorite time of year.

Durian is a fruit that only Mindaoans would love - well, there are others who doesnt like the smell of it. But the hell with the smell its the taste that matters.

The durian season starts at the end of July to November. In previous years, there were just a few varieties to choose from but now there a lot of varieties like: COB YELLOW (my favorite), COB WHITE, NATIVE, CHANEE, ARANCILLO (another favorite), PUYAT (another favorite), SWHARZCOF (i dont know how to spell it),and more...

In Davao City they will set up a durian park (just for the season) where families, friends, lovers, and officemates go to eat. Its kinda fun seeing a lot of people eager to eat this king of the fuits. Because of its abundance you can see durian all over the city (the picture above was taken from one of the streets). Other vendors will just park their truck or jeepneys and sell durian.

To describe this fruit - IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT BUT TASTE LIKE HEAVEN.

Once you've tasted it, you don't have to be a Mindanaoan to love DURIAN.

The Beginning

At last i already have a blog!

For some time my friends we're trying to convince me to create a blog but i wasn't interested at that time because i thought it was just a waste of time. Usually whenever i open my computer i just check my mails and the rest is computer programming or reading tutorials related to computer programming.

Today September 8, 2007 1:19am while waiting for my wife to arrive from work, my friend gladys reminded me again to try blogging. So since i have nothing else to do (i was playing Far Cry before she popped up from my screen) i created this account.

I kinda feel a little weird composing this but maybe because its my first time.

Well my wife is already a sleep ... Today is her birthday and i still haven't bought her a present.

Its almost 2 in the morning i better get some sleep 'coz its going to be a long day ahead ...
