I'm not that kind of person that is active in sports, I can ride a bike but I can't play basket ball because I'm not used in dribbling the ball, I can't shoot for 3 points, the distance is too much far for me plus the ball is heavy for me. Many of my peer friends are laughing at me because I can't do what they can do when doing basket ball, I can't do lay up even though it is they say so easy to do but it's really hard for me. But in my heart, I really love to learn this game, the technique, the speed, the angle... everything about it, for someday when I have a child and they ask me about it... I am the one who gonna teach them how to do basket ball... =) When I was young, no one teach me how to play basket ball, no one in my parents is playing that or have knowledge about this game. But because of curiosity as a kid, I try to play it when its time to go home from school... but whenever I go home with lots of sweat, my mother always mad at me and then after that, she will whip me with her bamboo stick. And it's a big ouch..!!! Don't get this wrong but my mother is a loving mother, she is just really strict when it comes in playing... and that's why I become inactive in playing basket ball... I feel embarrass now when I want to try to basket ball because of my crap move, if you know Slam Dunk, I'm much terrible than Hanamichi Sakuragi... But even though I can't play basket ball, I can manage to play guitar, and other instruments, I'm good in drawing too... But I think today that I am a young adult now, my body needs some intense exercise... and I'm always thinking basket ball... Can you play basketball guys or you are just like me???

I think ritzz07 we need to consider in our life that we must need the intense workout for our body. Being active in sports will help our body to be more aware in our surroundings... I mean it can make our focusing to be more active than before, I read an article saying that we need to balance our physical being meaning we need also to consider to work our body. Do you agree with me? Chess is good! Actually excellent, I'm not that good in many mind games but I can handle arts!!! I like doing editing, and music... =D Do you have any more hobby and talents??? =)

I like to play basketball for fun but I am not very good at it. I play with my friends sometimes but I get winded easily so I cant run up and down the court very well. When I was younger I was on an inter mural team in high school and that was fun but I did not play for my high school team or anything like that.

Me too, I easily get tired just by running in court, it just mean that my body become weak because I'm not active in sports for a long time. I remember when I was on 3rd year high school... I've been forced to participate in volleyball competition even though I said to my teacher in P.E. that I'm not used to it. And of course, the result... we lose, I always take the ball out of the line and many is shouting at me...and angry... so embarrassing....!!! I love and I like to be a sportsman, but I want to practice in a private place I can focus myself to it, not in a public place where there are many people that's laughing at me, I can't focus when there are people bullying me.
