and back to tennis...

I'm playing Tennis again... a few weeks ago, I had my rackets shipped to me here thru a friend
who flew to Cebu to attend her daughther's graduation rights. When we heard it, we took the chance
to ask for a favor if the rackets could be brought here... and now... well, here it is...

I used to play Tennis, while I was a little boy; my father would take me w/ him to the tennis court
as he used to play also. But Tennis had no appeal to me when I was younger; not until I was on my teens...
that's where it caught my fancy.... I think it was also because Agassi was cool that time...
These were the times of Edberg and Becker, Stitch.. then came Courier, Agassi, Sampras...
They were legends of their own generation and I enjoyed watching them play on TV .

I stoppped playing after college and it's been quiet some time
since I whipped a two-handed backhand (my favorite shot) :D
Anyways, I've taken Tennis again; me and Famela... I'm teaching her to play and at least it's something that
we can do together on a regular basis as an exercise...

My movements are slow, my shots are out rhythm and my breath falls short :D ...
heheheh, guess it comes with the long hiatus..
but they are still there... ;) hehehehe

I'm playing tennis again... nothing competetive yet...
