Swarming million buzzing sound of busy bees filled the air. Nah, that's the sound effect of the television early morning. Shocking!? It is real shocking why they have to annoy us with that super duper annoying sound at the South African stadium in Johannesburg. Yes folks it's the FIFA World Soccer Game Event. The first game introduced two teams fighting the gold: Mexico Vs. South Africa. It was loud crazy. It was suffocating. Imagine yourself inside the colony of buzzing bees inside the beehive. Awful! Such an awful predicament. It was like a torture. I wonder how the players can concentrate with those very extreme annoying sound. That's it an EXTREME kind of sport. Soccer game nowadays is such a punishment and a torment for the soccer players.Any great player will suffer from this kind of obstacles and barrier inflicted kind of game. Focus and attention is a must in order to win.
Suckers!!!! Too bad we don't have any Canadian team to join the fun. Nor we do have any soccer team from the Philippines. From what I heard it's only the best of the 20 teams are allowed to compete (?) Would it be so nice if we have one good team to represent this kind of extreme sports without using the hands only your sturdy legs and mighty head to strike, touch, pass and block the soccer ball?
Did you know that my kind of sports long time ago is very unusual? Sports like track and field while chasing catching butterflies and dragonflies. Climbing tall coconut trees, jumping from the bamboo bridge connecting from the kitchen to the water loo. Football? Oh yeah the football is different in my time it's hitting or kick the ball with our legs and we have to go on 4 bases. Then 7-up, run around the big concrete culvert while waiting for the water to fill up our drum and water jug, inch and piko. You can add luksong baka, sipa, and my favourite the "chinese garter." Chinese garter is similar to high jump but your legs should smoothly quick touch the garter while you jump on air. What kind of sports I'm talking about? Probably you wont know it because these games are played by children ages 4 to ten. At that age those games are to the extreme that some of my playmates end up having broken legs and broken arms. Literally, they need to be in the orthopedic ward.
Not to mention we also play karate and tarzan to the effect of holding on to the long cord from the bamboo pole down to the ground. Yeeha!
Years passed by so quickly, while I was attending to my brother's mini concession at the camp, here comes group of soccer players in their jerseys sweating and one guy approached me with a smirk on his face and told me, "Hawig mo si Regine." Ha?! What? What are you talking about?" I asked him again kasi nabingi ata ako. Then the guy repeated what he said, "sabi ko kahawig mo si Regine Velasquez."
I was so quipped to reply back this time and told him frankly that "hindi po ako nagparetoke ng mukha."
Then the whole team can't help laugh at what I said.
"Don't you have any soccer team here at the camp?" he asked me one more time. I said no with a frown on my face. Then he bought a pack of cigarette. Gusto pa sana nyang mang-uto pero I have something in my mind "Credit is good but we need cash." LOL. Joker!
I know I get so annoyed when somebody else used to tell me that I am this "celebrity" you know and I know that am not one of those girls. Naiinis ako pag may kamukha ako. Kamukha ko ang nanay ko na kamukha naman daw ni Luz Valdez. Then nung bata pa ako ang mga classmates ko ay tinutukso naman ako na si "Marlene Dauden" daw ako. So irritatingly funny. O sya sige na kamukha ko si Marlene, akina ang gunting at magupit ko na kayo.
WARNING: You have to be an angel to play those games I played when I was a kid. It requires flying with wings. SO BEWARE. No copying please or you wont be able to see your next birthday. No matrix no metric. It just happened. I don't know why.
Sorry it's for real. It's no lie. It's a true story!
And...they want me dead.
For they don't believe in miracles.
