I have passed feeling the obnoxious excitement with relates
to sports events. Long ago, I was once a player myself as a part of a team in
volleyball who competed in the regionals. Having to feel the thrill coursing
through your veins in the anticipation of facing a strong opponent, having to
feel that madly beating heartbeat of not only myself but with the rest of my
team mates resembling that of an elephant's parading and having to feel that unexplainable joy and elateness when having been able to win against a
specially strong opponent. I mean that is what Intramurals supposed to mean
isn't it?
It is as if people nowadays treat Intramurals as a means
of having been able to get away from
studies and watch different sports matches. That may be partly correct, yes.
But for me Intramurals is not a day only for the athletes but also for us
battle spectators to feel the same thrill that they are going through.
Unfortunately, it was like we had our own different worlds with some watching
the games, some participating in the booths set up by the different clubs and
organizations of the school, and some seems to be not giving a care at all. Add
to that, the disastrous second day full of black skies and harsh angry howls of
the winds of Super typhoon Mario.
It is not a bad thing to actually try something new and
enjoy ourselves while at it but I think Intramurals should be treated with more
respect by actually being able to connect with one another through the use of
the central piece: sports.
