Missed Soccer Classes
The little boy has missed soccer classes. Not because he was absent but because last Friday was a local holiday, then Tuesday the coach was sick according to the kids in school or out of town based on the text notice sent by the school. Then next Tuesday is another holiday. Three missed soccer classes already. The school has not replied when I asked if there would be make up class even just for the one day that the coach was not present (not because of the holidays because those are beyond the control of the school).
Not much on the cost of money we pay for the class but the value of time that the kids could learn and practice soccer more is valuable for us parents too.
Let’s Play
The lil boy was eager to go to the mall and play at his fave fun playhouse there. He gave us a hint early this afternoon when he shouted, “Let’s play!” I thought he wanted to play soccer or badminton in his room. But he actually meant going to the mall to play this weekend.
I was not really up to going to the mall where we are almost always going to when we decide to go malling. I wanted to do something else next time. Maybe play soccer, badminton or our old time fave sport of ping pong which we often play as kids with my siblings together with our daddy. I miss playing ping pong or table tennis as some would call it. This game when played with my only brother years ago would often end up like some kind of tennis played on a table.
The boys and I have not played table tennis together yet. If we won’t be playing soccer or badminton then we’d go for table tennis then. And I say, “Let’s play!”
Wrestling as a Sport
I used to remember my dad likes to watch those wrestlers on TV decades ago. Who does not know Hulk Hogan? He even came out recently as a guest at the American Idol.
Anyway, at one point I was introduced to it as a sport that one can do. I used to watch a show all about sports that featured this as an elective class and sport in some of the universities in the country. It gave me a different point of view of wrestling as a real sport and not just a show or entertainment on TV. (more…)
