A Game with Ultimate Strangers
Tuesday, March 4, 2008I was out at the University of the Philippines (UP) Sunken Garden late this afternoon playing frisbee with people I did not know. It was the second time I had been there to play and also the second time I was playing with strangers. It was like being in school for the first time and trying to find new friends and playmates. It was not Ultimate Frisbee that I played today. (I need to develop my throwing and catching skills further first and then exercise some so I would not become easily exhausted from all the running around.) It was just a regular throw-and-catch game.
I had fun. It felt great to be out in an open field running and jumping and throwing and catching and laughing. Even amidst complete strangers.
Photosynthesis vs. Respiration
I slept at about 3:30 A.M. yesterday. And then my aunt and uncle dropped by at 4:30 A.M. and woke me up. I had spent the night and the wee hours of the morning reading, researching, and typing their youngest daughter’s homework. Such a tedious task for me as I could not recall my human anatomy and physiology learnings.
So there I was, relearning the systems and organs and hormones, etc. of the human body to answer several activity sheets for a second year high school student. Ordinarily I would not condone such an act. But then I took pity on my aunt who was tasked with that–and she had neither a computer nor Internet connection.
