A Full Scholarship? sure.

so about a 6 months ago, i met the scout for the best school in the country. he asked me if i wanted to play for the high school team, and that he could probably get me a scholarship. i said i did not really want to move up to manila just yet, maybe in college. so this last time we were up in manila he watched me play, and said that the college team could wait a few years, and that when i was ready, i was on the team. i asked him what kind of scholarship he was offering. a full scholarship, including room and board, and $100 spending money every month. that was pretty neat.

we have not had internet for a long time. so i have not blogged.

oh i guess i should say that we are home. and that there is a tournament the end of next month. i will play singles, age category, doubles leveled, level B. and maybe mixed doubles leveled. i am training hard, and maybe i can get the 40,000 peso prize. :) if i win that, i can up grade my rackets the Yonex arcsaber 10. just kidding.


i still have not gotten the pictures from the camera, so i will post them next time.

my garden was full of weeds, and the whole yard looked like a jungle. but we got it almost looking normal again.


hmmm any other news? yea, i went to a sports doctor, cause my knee was clicking and stuff, and i got x-rays. the doctor said that two different parts of my bone, one soft, and one hard, are trying to fuse together, cause i just grew a whole lot, and that because my legs are not as strong on all sides, it is pulling my knee apart, and that there is a crack in the soft, and hard parts of the bone, close to my knee. so i have to wear a brace for a while. ok i know that was confusing, sorry.

Training With Kennevic Asuncion

yup, i got to train under Kennevic Asuncion!!! he coached me and Kaleb for an hour and a half. don't know who he is? he is the best player in all of the Philippines. he has won many big international tournaments. he is amazing. i learned a lot, like a ton. there are very few players who get to be coached by him. what a big smile from God. i need to go get my gear ready, cause i am playing this evening again, so i have to go. i just thought i would say that i got to train with him!!! i will maybe do a big long post on every thing i learned from him later.
