The Camarines Sur team decimated the competition yesterday during the dragon boat regatta, beating the highly-fancied Philippine National Police team. My team didn't even reach the finals. (I think the yin and yang forces were at work here. You know, there's lots of cheerfulness and camarederie in my team, so much we-are-the-world spirit, so much positive energy that a dash of negativity was probably needed to restore the balance and order in the scheme of things, thus the disappointing results yesterday). Of course I'm ranting.
Last night, the Bicolanos got featured on TV. They even claimed they haven't had the chance to train ever since they won their events in Singapore a month ago. (They were a sensation in Singapore, leaving behind the rest by a two-boat distance).
It was my first time to race on the left side. Which is a small achievement for me because in traditional rowing terms, I'm now "ambi", as in ambidextrous (or ambitious, whichever way you look at it).
