so when i first started this job, all i did was look forward to softball. cus that was the beginning of the season. after watching senior games for a month (mostly DMM games), it made me wanna play more and more!
and now, after 5 games, Sanctified is currently 4-1. =) WOW eh? lets take a look into the past seasons for the SCAC teams.
'05. Ravens. 0-10. (heh...)
'06. Sanctified. 1-9. (yay!..???)
'07. Ravens: currently 4-3-1. Sanctified: currently 4-1. =)
and you know what else? the term "playoffs" is actually sneaking into our convos! DANGGGG.! some didomi kids are actually holding off handing in their summer camp forms (which is the playoffs weekend. errr...) and waiting to know our games results first! so proud of Sanctified. not only our scores this year, but also as a team. especially that one game on July 29th. it was our 3rd game that weekend. we were all pretty drained and started off the game quite badly. also, the team we were playing against had a stacked shortstop, 1b, and LF, while they rotated the rest of the field which were their "weaker" areas. being tired, and noticing how unfair it was, we were losing our spirit, focus, and skills. we were tied with the other team. then suddenly, steve pulls a GRAND SLAM outta the park home run! we were up by 4. =) it was like everyone was energized. we started cheering again. for both ourselves and the other team. but after the game, we realized that it doesnt matter if we're winning, tied, or down by 20 runs. our spirits should still be up there no matter what. cheering for both, ourselves and the other team. this is CCSA. we're here to play for God. take a look at a part of our Sanctified cheer.
we're Sanctified
we're purified
we'll play for God,
who'll be glorified
we're living for His name
we'll play a nice clean game!
when i wrote that part of the cheer, apart for looking for words that ends in "fied" (hah.. i wanted to add in satisfied. =P), the last line was a major line. a lot of the times, we're tempted to cheat. we really want that win really badly! or at times, we want to argue with the umps about certain calls (im still guilty of that). but as it is CCSA, we should be aiming to play nice clean games. just take it easy. CCSA is pretty much a chance to socialize and get to know the other team, a chance to fellowship. and thats where the devos part plays a huge role.
its definitely been a great learning experience so far, being on leadership and all. altho im still a bit iffy on the umping bit. dont get me wrong, i like umping. i dont know why so many ppl 'avoid' it or 'wanna get it over with'. i actually enjoy it. but somehow, this season, ive managed to bump into the most rare umping cases ever. haha... questions that ive brought to ppl on ccsa exec and even they had to 'look up' the answer. we'll see what happens next year. i'll definitely write the test (ok.. if you've read this, you're keeping me accountable in taking the test next year! hold it against me!!) and we'll go on from there. if i get carded or not is another whole discussion. hahaha.... but its true. just cus you scored high on the test doesnt make you a better ump.
but anyways, back to the first sentence of this post. what i originally wanted to blog about. LOL. yeah.. "soooo many paragraphs later.. i finally get to the point". =P
so when i first started this job, all i did was think about softball. i looked up softball related stuff online, wrote team/leadership emails and made em all fancy, made all those attendance charts and stuff, etc. but now, all i can think about is september! back into London i go! =) and as much as i dislike academics, i actually dont mind classes that much. my schedule's pretty relaxed (ok fine.. REALLY relaxed). and the only thing i do mind are assignments. lol! but yeah! relaxed sched, acf ppl all around, campus, downtown london, non china/fob fest, SUMMIT, crabbys... =) just a bit less than a month left... almost there...!
but before going back to london, there's still half a season of softball left (and playoffs? eh eh eh??), my G test, and LA trip!
im actually a bit scared of going to LA. why? cus what if i like it so much i decide to move there? since is hollywood and media central. it'd make sense. but Toronto is also hollywood north. hmm....ah well. hope i bump into wongfu! =P
hehe.. i like how i can have so much time to think over things like this while at work. its like im being "paid" to sort out some of my thoughts. its great! =D
