my friend’s persistent.. so i had to post this one..
in all my boredom (docs are ok, but boring to a point..ehhee), i just doodled on this one
friend, enjoy..ehehe…
**********************************************************************************

in a space where i sit by myself,
lost in my own world…
secluded by all the noise and all of humankind…
kind of exaggerated huh?
but that’s how it was.. at least, to me
i did my own thing and so did  the people around me
all these times, i wasn’t bothered by passers by..
people can just pass by me without me turning my head to give them a look
or acknowledging that “yes, i noticed you passing by me”..

being the independent and sometimes indifferent person that i am..
my days just went by so uneventfully ..
out with friends for some coffee..
or just going home early to catch some needed sleep or go online..
nothing special..

but you see, one day, one game surprised me and took my breathe away..
someone got my attention and later on my heart…

ten pumped up males all geared up..
then the ball bounces on the floor and back into their skillful hands..
feet on rubber soles skid across the room trying to get to the hoop..
hard-earned sweat trickles on faces hoping to win
trying to gain ahead of the opponent..

oh, he was just one among the many of them…
i knew him by name..
i knew he was admired by some of the most wanted females…
even so, i looked at all of them, enjoying the battle of speed and skill..
trying hard with my uncooperative eyesight to see the highlights..

and all of a sudden.. my eyes of poor sight zeroed in on him…
how it happened, i didn’t know…it just did..
he was not a poor player..
nor was he the most valuable player…
and yet..
and yet..
he then became the only defender.. the only attacker..in my eyes
anywhere in the court, i see him even when he’s not holding the ball..
the realization hit me like i was being dunked in the ring
my logical mind tried to analyze the why, the how..
yet my mind can’t come up with answers
my heart chose right there and then to like him
it was just a little silly admiration..
or so i thought
