sp football team had a friendly match yesterday, we won 3-1 and i got a few tackles in, but my touch was 'very poor' in coach's own words. got to work.

then, i went to play to the synod youth games, playing, what else, football. i think evan is right anyway, that i sprained my ankle after an awkard fall even though i thought otherwise at that time. now it's swollen and i'm limping.

reason i'm saying all these is that on my way home, i just realized that football is such a big part of my life. i and i really don't know what would have happened to me without football, without me first knowing aflame. i wouldn't be playing football in sp and in the adonai football league that's for sure, i wouldn't have known so many friends as we play ball together, friends who are working and more mature and friends who're in the same age group as me. i wouldn't be attending covenant too. if not for football, i really don't know how i'd have got past last year, i wonder how i'd spend my time now too. all the weekends and time that i spend playing ball, maybe i'd be studying? or become a hardcore gamer? beats me. what i do know is that when i'm on the pitch, it feels good, though at times i may not be as confident ( especially at sp; i can't seem to do the things that i can do) but it's always fun. no need to depend on fickle human emotions now.

maikoon warned me about burning myself out , telling me to pace myself. good advice, but i really just want to play, football is more than a game to me. much more.
