UAAP Tennis

Since I live nearby, I decided to catch the opening of the UAAP Tennis season at the Kapitlyo Tennis courts earlier. The UP Men's Tennis team was up against Ateneo while the UP Ladies battled it out with UST. I don't know who won as I left early when it started to drizzle.

Anyway, I just realized that I haven't played tennis in over a year... to think during college I was at the UP Eng'g/SC courts every wednesday and saturday. During summers I was at the Angono courts from 7am till night everyday! My tennismates then included a well known Angono painter, a chef, an Inquirer photojournalist, a Casino supervisor, a fishpen owner, an OFW and around 5 more on and off players. Our daily routine then was play tennis from 7am till 10am, go to the Angono market at 11am to buy ingredients for lunch, usually we had fish fresh from the fishpen brought by the fishpen owner, have the chef cook our lunch, eat around 1pm. We would then hie off to the painter's studio... where we'd rest/sleep till 3pm. Then we'd play tennis again till sunset. Sometimes I'd go home by then but most of the time we'd cap our day with a drinking session at the photographers house where our pulutan was usually freshly fried itik and grilled big head carp. Shet those were the days!
