Badminton as a Passion

My siblings and I are really into badminton ever since we were little. 

I stopped two years ago because I decided to focus on my studies and it was the time that I got accepted into the dance crew. I figured that it was time for me to do something that I really liked for a really long time and that was my chance. 

Before I stopped, my siblings and I trained in JLTC (Jaime Llanes Training Center) in Quezon City every weekend during school days and almost everyday during the summer. They still do until now actually. Diego's starting to learn also! ♥



The DLSZ Badminton Team was also my family for a time since I'd also represent the school with them. I actually miss training with these guys and until now we're still pretty close friends. :)




What I can never get was those pretty awesome action shots that my brother and other team mates always get. :( 





Enough of me. Heehee. Well, my brother, Jolo is the one who's really good at this game. He's turning 16 in less than a month but he's already represented his school, the city and Metro Manila in local tournaments and also the country in international tournaments! Who wouldn't be proud to call this guy her brother? 





And aside from that, he always gets the awesome and pretty intense pictures! 







Catch him in his next tournaments over the summer!

Queenie's my boyish 11 year old sister who's slowly making her way and carving her name in the badminton industry. Even if she's smaller than her other competitors, she's really fiesty when it comes to the court itself.




She even met the former first lady Ming Ramos who's also a badminton enthusiast :)



Last Sunday, she recently won 1st runner up for the WNCAA together with her Zobel team.




It reminds me of the glory days where we'd just win those tournaments. And now, it's her time to shine!

Love these kids so much! They'll go a long way ♥

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

What a tiring day!

At around 7:30, I met up with Conrado and brought my sister, Queenie to the Rizal Stadium since today was her  Badminton elimination match for WNCAA. (by the way, she won! Yay! Tomorrow's the Finals!) It made me miss badminton for that moment. :)

After an hour, we commuted to MOA. It seems like everytime we commute, we always get lucky. We don't actually know why. HAHA. It was in the Atrium, Music Hall right in front of the Manila Bay so the breeze was pretty nice. We watched all who competed first! Too bad Conrado didn't get to compete since his shoulder got busted at the last minute. :(







Hello to the pink gi that I want even though I won't ever use it!


Hi, Kuya Manny! :)



For lunch, we ate in Pepper Lunch. I honestly didn't like my food cause I got the salmon one just to "try" to be healthy but it ended up being bland and it was just too expensive for my budget. :(



After that we bought my mom's gift. Too bad I didn't get to take pictures of it. :(

Long day! 2nd weekend that I've been in Manila! Trying to get used to the place and how to commute already! Promise I'll try to take more and better pictures next time! ♥
