The Poetics of an Odd (wo) Man out

for x number of weeks or even months, i didn't play futsal. The regular tuesday and friday rendezvous was put on hold for some reason. Then one email changed all that.. (parang suspense naman ang dating...) It was Jay and JC who volunteered Jerz, Blue and I to organize the game. Of course we were surprised by this and also excited. It was then, we realized how much we miss playing this game and the futsal people. Then after recruitments here and there, sir leo's blasted futsal ad email, and some pangugulit, we were on our way to our first game again since time memorial. While we were playing, running and sweating, I'd realized how much i miss doing this. It was nice to kick some balls, to feel the adrenaline rush, to be out of breath, and to see old friends again.. There's some comfort and a feeling of belongingness in that court While we were playing, it's so natural and comfortable despite the fact that we haven't seen each other for some time. It's as though we didn't really have a long break from futsal... jc was his usual pang-aasar mode... then there's Jay who scares us.. just to steal the ball, road runner, the ever fast and good player, pao who plays like a pro, Jerz whose kicking skills and good defense earns her the title,"great wall" Blue who shot the first goal and earned the title as per JC, praktisado, Jong who wishes for cigarette while playing the game, Ryan “manok” who now uses long socks but still plays great.. lance and that other guy, whom I called shorts for some reason, whose tagged team prowess made them unstoppable..

Of course, there are new faces… harry and his friends, who plays well despite his warning that he is a newbie…. Mandy who carries the ball well, Sir Maenard “leo martinez” who plays futsal barefoot but still manages to steal the ball and shoots goals..

It’s a good thing that futsal is back for good. It gives me an outlet to release the stress especially after a long and tiring day at the office.. It also gave me a chance to be reunited with my friends.. ..

Thank God for futsal. Bow.

Sana bumalik na sina Dex and Jannin para mas masaya.

Here's some Spanish words to live by and something you can use someday.. perhaps..

Te odio- i hate you
Te amare- i will love you
Cuidate- take care
Hasta luego- see you later
Adios - goodbye
estoy cansada - im tired
estoy aburido/a - im bored
Que tal? - how are you?
que te pasa - what happened to you?
callate- shut up
quiero que me desee - i want you to like me
me sangre la nariz -nosebleed (favorite ko to')
estoy chupado- it's easy
estoy enfermo/a- i'm sick
lo siento- i'm sorry
Donde vives- where do you live?
Que haces? - what do you do?

after seeing Pia's blog, I was inspired to do a small write-up on what I've learned from Spanish class every week. In this way, I can also learn and others may also learn (hopefully) from this. So here goes..

For this week.. I'll shared with you, the future tense in Spanish. The easiest way to form a future tense sentence is like this: ir + a + infinitivo. For example, voy a jugar al futsal. Translation:I'm going to play futsal.

Next: you can use the following:
Unlike in present and past tense each infinitivo ending in AR, ER, IR have different conjugations. In the future tense, verbs ending in AR, ER, IR have the same conjugation and you don't need to remove the ar, er and ir at the end, so just need to add these:

-e (yo)
-as (tu)
-a (el, ella, usted)
-emos (nosotros)
-eis (vosotros)
-an (ellos/ellas, ustedes)

For example:
hablar (to speak)
yo hablare
tu hablaras
el/ella/vtd hablara
nosotros hablaremos
vosotros hablareis
ellos/ellas/vtds hablaran

But remember this form of future tense is used to express probability and of course future action.

Here are other examples:

Creo que comere comida basura. (I think i will eat street food)
a mi me parece que leere el libro. (I think i will read a book)
Escribiremos una carta. (We will write a letter)
Beberas la agua (you will drink water)

espero que le aprenderas.

Adios~

Feel-ing:

Dahil ngarag at bangege ako, hindi ko muna ikwekwento ang istorya sa likod ng mga larawang ito. Ang masasabi ko lang masaya ako ng araw na ito kahit pa man ang dahilan ng aming pagkikita kita ay malungkot.

Dahil hindi na ako bangenge at ngarag, magkwekwento na ako:)
Hmmm pano ba sisimulan...
The reunion Si ruth ang nakaisip ng magkita kita kaming mga "kulto" para magbonding at manood na rin ng Cine Europa. Kahit pa man lima lang kaming nagkita-kita, masaya pa din yung kamustahan, yung mga misadventures sa buhay atbp..
pekeng ticket Dahil isang ticket kada tao sa cine europa , late sina pia at kate at 4:30 pa labasan ni ruth sa office, ginamit ni shella ang kanyang creative powers para kulayan ang isang ticket para kay ruth...
ako si basya ayan lang naman ang dineklara ni ruth. babala din niya wag daw kakain sa may Dencios in Ayala Heights. Baka daw ma-Maja.
matibay na samahan Siguro kahit na hindi kami parehong group of friends nung college, masasabi ko na magkakaibigan kami at andito kami para sa isa't isa. Gaya nga ng sabi ni kate, "ang galing noh, kahit graduate na tayo andito pa din tayo para sa isa't isa.."
