Ups and downs
It has been awhile... These couple of weeks have been fully packed with events and many other tasks that is needed to be done up soon. Yet another week is over and another week is arriving. It's crazy how time flies so quickly like that. That is what happens when you are having too much fun. Apart from that, I still have to keep on improving for soccer and keep working on it. Opportunity comes at any one time and you have to make use of that opportunity to shine and show what you are capable of, regardless. Mistakes are bound to occur but what is important is recovering from the mistake. It is frustrating, it is annoying, yes. Everyone's different and yes, no one can change you but what can be changed is how you react to the situation. On a side note, Happy 19th Birthday, Mary! Hope you enjoyed yourself and hope you would have a Blessed Birthday. Keep Fighting, Marj

Explosion
I really dislike playing second fiddle and dislike the fact that I've always been on the losing end from day 1. Sure it is depressing and upsetting and I have a plethora of reasons for this. Ever since having the keep fighting motto for myself, Ive been telling myself to keep doing so and stay up. But it's really really awful to be living in a world of denial. I really didn't want my hard work and efforts to be wasted away but instead be put to good use. I'm tired of waiting and I'm tired of feeling upset, etc. I'm still going to keep fighting and prove my point and prove anyone else wrong. keep fighting, Marj Posted with LifeCast

Fighting on
I was in good spirits until the pain on my feet made the change. Then, it became a battle with pain. I didn't give up and stopped there but instead I fought on with the pain while trying to complete the 5 rounds. Many a times I stop to adjust my support arch in the shoe, thinking that could be the cause of the problem. I wasn't going to let anything get in my way nor slap me down to road defeat. As the minutes ticked away on the timer, I continued my mission of completing the rounds, despite the many halts I had to make. The pain was unbearable though not so excruciating till I could scream a thousand metres away. But I had to make those stops before anything gets worst. Even if it meant being the last, I still have to complete the rounds. If everyone can do it and have made it, I should do the same. I wasn't going to drop out just like that. I tried taking my mind off the pain but it was a tough nut to crack. A little spray did help my both feet feel at ease and I'm glad it did. I got frustrated at the many times that I stopped because it meant hindering my mission and it also meant that the digits on the stopwatch would increase in value. I was worried but I didn't give up. Eventually, I completed the rounds at a failed timing, knowing that this could cost me playing minutes. However, I feel great inside me upon completing the run despite the tough obstacle faced. That was defnitely a feat of accomplishment with a tough battle involved. I look forward to every training session, like how little kids look forward to receiving their rewards for behaving well. But what really annoys me is when I have to fight an obstacle that occurs suddenly, just like the one I fought with while running. Every training session is an opportunity for all players to redeem themselves, to show what they are made of and I, was determined. I knew that I had to put in extra effort, to do well for any kinds of drills, set pieces play, runs, you name it. I get upset when I know that my performance isn't good or up to par. That would mean having to work extra harder and putting in double the extra effort. This, I tried and sometimes it bear fruits sometimes not. I hate to be on a losing end but that is how it is, when you have to fight for a spot in a sport. You got to really push on and keep fighting. It's either you stay up or give up and staying up means your still interested in giving a go at it. Being in a sport is this tough but you cannot afford to give up at any moment. You have to perservre till the end. I do not deny being on the edge of quitting this sport and picking something else to focus on. However, I stayed on and fight till this day, where I'm still in a constant battle with pain, competition and come what may. These few training sessions have been tough but I really want to keep going and prove my point and myself, as a player. I'm staying up, I am...with prayer, faith and commitment and the support from the family and friends... Keep fighting, Marj Posted with LifeCast
