baby steps
ok, kids, it's for real. i'm marshaling the AXN Challenge on the 27th of November. No backing out, it's going to happen. I figured i don't have that much experience yet to go straight to joining adventure races (since i don't even have a sport). And since i missed the adventure racing workshop, i'm doing this instead.
it's going to be hard work, but i hope it will at least be interesting. i got an email in one of my yahoogroups about these two guys looking for a girl teammate and they're from ateneo. i got the email yesterday; the last day of the registration period was two days ago. huh. wonderful. it would've been nice to actually be part of the race instead of being at just one checkpoint. bleah.
at the initial orientation, they told us that it would be around 12 hours of hard work, aside from getting our food late. and all we get in return will be one AXN t-shirt. so we'd better make sure daw that we know what we're in for. the speaker also discouraged people from volunteering just because they think it's fun. uh oh. haha. just kidding. i know it'll be hard, but i think i'm up for it. but for a job where all you get is a t-shirt, surprisingly, there's a long waiting list.
one of the coordinators called me up to confirm that i've been accepted as a marshal, and at one point, he asked me if i went with my friends. when i said "no," you know what he said??? he said "talaga? ang tapang mo ah." oh mommy. i don't know if i'll be flattered or scared shitless. that orientientation was terrifying enough. it was a room full of toned and muscled people with sun-darkened skins, who you just know can probably take any challenge (physical) that you can throw at them.
implications
my parents, because of their generous and loving hearts, have changed the date of gaby's christening to 28 November. please tell me who can make it and who want to be ninongs and ninangs (because i'm inviting all shungaks).
