Volleyball

I've been watching a lot of volleball games on cable lately. College volley, my favorite. And of course, I would be rooting for MY team UST. Hehe. Actually, the team is good enough to top all the other teams in the VLeague. (When will they ever air live games, anyway?) I'm loving Roxanne Pimentel, her running spikes and her towering height. Kate Coyukang contributes well with her varied styles of spike. Not only does she remind me of my good Chinese (haha) friend Kat-E, she always styles her hair where her powers probably come from. Haha! Sometimes I am pissed with De Leon (oopsie...) because she could make very crucial errors when the team is at pressure. Nonetheless, I salute her "setting powers" na rin. And of course, there's still a number of other players who make significant contributions to the team. The best game I've seen so far was that of UST against San Sebastian. Laborte and the rest wouldn't give up and so the game took 5 sets to finally be decided in favor of, well, UST!

The other night, I was watching an international volleyball tournament that was held in Cebu. It was Tonga vs. Indonesia. Tongans seem to all look like fellow Tongan Asi Taulava. Hehe. Y'know, the tigas mukha look. And of course, Indonesians looking like Pinoys is not new at all. I've actually seen guys play volley before and I say it's a bit different. It is as if the ball is weightless whenever they hit it with their strong, forceful hand (nax naman...). And how come they don't wear the skimpy shorts that the girls wear? Haha! It would be a sight to flaunt their vasti muscles and their hamstrings. They still, however, do the huddling girls do every after score. (What's up with that?)

I have very few memories of volleyball when we had it as one of our PE's. All I know is that I suck on it and my bestfriend Menggay is hell-a good on it. And let's not even talk about soccer...sucker!
