I got massacred today playing a tennis game. The score read 6-0 6-1 6-0. Maybe I should take consolation that it wasn't a triple bagel. My timing was all-off, and my opponent new exactly what to do with feeble returns and groundstrokes -- send it flying off at an angle to the opposite side. My opponent was gracious enough to thank me for making him look good. He wanted to assuage the matter. We're supposed to play again; though I don't know if that would be a good thing for him, if my level of play stays this way.

But my weekend was good! I played tennis on Saturday and Sunday, the latter with a trainer who was young yet I thought pretty good at this motivational skills. I'm looking forward to the weekend already so that I can work on more things. One good trait that he has is that he listens also to the point of views of his coachee/student. Good coaches have to understand that each person is different, and that listening is what will help them diagnose what is the best approach to learning. Just before the weekend I exchanged some slightly feisty text messages with a gym trainer, coz I felt he didn't have that important listening attitude at all. Thankfully, he eventually came around

In exchange for my sister and dad having lunch while I was playing tennis (yes, this counts as accompanying me to the country club), I found myself watching The Dark Knight for the 2nd time. Now I understand why Dent was so pissed off at Gordon, and also it hit me that the Joker wasn't on the screen all that much. This movie gave more time to Dent and Gordon than the Joker I thought. Watching this movie the 2nd time wasn't too bad.

The weekend highlight though was a last minute invitation by a friend to watch the Ateneo-UST UAAP game at Araneta. We were seated really close to the players, at the Patron section. I'm so glad Ateneo won. I do feel that when I watch games live, 2/3 of the time, we lose. So this was a nice surprise.

I have too much adrenaline in my system, so its going to be a bit of a chore getting to sleep. Maybe it's time to organize a few things then.

After 2 failed meetings, 3rd one took place and I thought it was successful and worked out quite well. Both parties are moving, and things look good. :)
