Deanna's

I'm here na sa bench waiting for our turn for the try out. Nakapagpalista na din ako kanina after ng friendly match ng mga ALE and ang instructions is per position ang gagawin try out. Wait for our turn nalang daw so here I am sitting and watching what's happening inside the court. Well, busy pa sila may mga nagpapalista pa kasi until now so ganun nga kadami ang gustong mag try out. Sana makapasok ako.

After a while, ayun na nga nagreready na sila. I saw the captain grab the microphone, I put my attention towards her...

"Okay guys, as we saw today is our scheduled try out for women's volleyball team. We will recruiting some aspirants to fill up those positions left by those who graduated last season. And we are amazed that we have a lot of athlete came here to register. And before we start in behalf of the team and coaching staff I wanna say thank you to all of you." announce ng team captain and the crowd gives her a round of applause. After her speech may sumunod naman agad sa spot light.

" Good afternoon everyone. I'm Coach Oliver Almadro the Head Coach of the Lady Eagles. As Alyssa said a while we're going to pick our new members and because they're a lot of aspirants we decided to divide the team and the sequence will be per position. We have  some vacant  positions like open spiker, opposite hitter, setter, middle blocker and libero. Each position will be called and those who belongs to that will go in the middle for the official try out play. And we will start with the libero positions. So good luck guys." the crowd goes wild as Coach Oliver drop the mic. Signaling to the start the event.

I bow my head first. Ask for his guidance. I have to take this today I don't want to  disappoint my family especially dad.

Natapos na ung ibang positions, nasa open spiker na kami. Hindi pa tinatawag ung position ko so hindi pa ako natatapos. Nanunuod lang ako sa mga aspirants tulad ko grabeh ang lalakas naman ng mga spiker na to samantalang ako nga hindi ko mahampas ung bola ng ganyan masakit kasi sa braso yan. Blaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nagulat ako sa lakas ng tunog ng pagbagsak ng bola sa floor. Tumalbog pa ito ng pagkataas taas akala ko aabot na sa selling ng gym. And then I notice na si Jema pala ung pumalo. Nagulat ako. I never thought na ganyan magaling at kalakas ang isang 'to. After ng term nya tumingin sya sa direksyon ko at ngumiti sabay kaway nagulat man ako I manage to smile din and wave at her. Sinundan ko lang sya ng tingin nasa kabilang side pala ung gamit niya. Kinuha niya yun then naglakad na sya papunta sa akin I guess.

"Thank you huh." sabay upo ni Jema sa tabi ko.

"Para saan?" takang tanong ko sakanya.

"For coming and watching. Di ba you promise me that?" oo nga pala. Sinabi ko kanina sakanya na manunuod ako.

"Syempre naman. Kung di ako nagpunta edi sana hindi ko malalaman ang strength ng best friend ko. Tsaka I won't saw that you can able to destroy the floor pala." sabay tawa ko sakanya. Hindi ko pa pala nasasabi na magttry out din ako. Hehehe.

"Next, setter position. For those who were listed please proceed inside the court." biglang announce na microphone. Kaya tumayo na ako agad at patakbong nagpunta sa gitna when I suddenly heard Jema...

"Huy! Saan ka punta?"tanong niya.

I just move my head as if pointing the court. Maybe she would get it. And on cue.....
