can't leave sports

I've been to a lot of sport already. tennis, badminton, basketball, well been there, done that. When my doctor asked me to quit playing those tiring sports, i felt so lifeless and weak. I started venturing to computer games and books, but seems like something is missing. When my uncle died due to snake bite, I stayed a week or more in his wake. people are playing majhong, card games, scrabble and etc, well i have no interest to those stuffs. when i glanced at the corner i saw flock of kids clapping and cheering vigorously. my curious mind draw me to that corner. There, I saw a table with rackets smaller than my lawn tennis racket. There, I met Pingpong.
After my uncles' wake, i asked my did if is it ok for me to play such sport. we consulted my cardiologist and she said that pingpong would be ok. I started playing pingpong so often. I studied every move and stroke. later on, i asked my dad to make me a table so that i can play at home. i was so happy when he granted my request. i competed lots of tourneaments and i can say that i excelled though not as good as the national players. Now that I'm in college, i still indulge my self in this sport. i realized that my previous sports need too much energy and strength. In table tennis, what i need are concentration and agility. I'm so proud to say that I'm playing the fastest game on Earth. Im leaving this saturday for a week long tournament in Manila... Wish me luck(:
