About Me

I am currently in to paintball. I have been playing every week at boomcamp, just accross the world trade center. I am also into other stuff, another most recent addition is Tai-chi. I don't know how long will it last though (I hope it will continue until my old age). Paintball has already taken about a year now. I am a diletante! Jack-of-all-trade, master of none. Once an idea gets planted into my mind, it will stay there forever.I am quite shy, lalo na sa hindi ko pa masyado kakilala. Pero sabi nung ibang nakakakilala sa akin, makulit din daw ako. Open minded ako, and I do my best to respect the opinions, beliefs, cultures of other people.

Massacre at the field....

It was a day of massacre last Sunday at the paintball field, at least for me. I don't think I was able to fire a single shot in any of the games I played. I always got tagged at the start. Twice by...

What is it with paintball?

Why do I always come and play every weekend eventhough I know, that when I get home, I'll have a new bruise (or two if I am lucky) somewhere over my body? Today I got one on my midsection and another ...
