We were supposed to go swim yesterday but the kids have so much to do: Dada has exams, Che has her egg Science project, poems, etc.
And so we settled for Blue Corner as my treat for my ACB graduation. And it was the better decision coz it was very windy with the impending typhoon Goring.
Here's what we had: Sizzling Pusit, Sizzling Liempo x2, Sizzling Blue Marlin and Pinakbet. Renz is happy and shows it.
Continuous Backstrokes, Ping-pong Table
Mar. 21, Wednesday:
2 lads were at the pool today. The plywood for the Ping-pong table finally came. This is after the 2 pieces were returned coz they weren't suited.
Mar. 22, Thursday:
It's Cavite Day. I did 2 full laps on the backstroke today. Here's a couple of studious kids putting the tables into good use.
Mar. 23, Friday:
Continuous Backstrokes
Overcast skies today and I was dilly-dallying whether to go or not. Well I did. I kept recalling that come August, there's no more renewal and I'll be paying per entry Php100 a pop! Major Bummer on the Pocket. So I REALLY need to maximize my membership NOW. Today's workout surprised me. I'm able to do slow and relaxed backstrokes on purpose! In fact, I did the short laps 12.5m back-and-forth with backstrokes. Prior, I just did the backstroke one short length and then hubrst back to the starting end. Today, I just did backstrokes over and over. Nice! But I did get winded though.
Mar. 24, Saturday:
The basic structure of the Pingpong table top is finished
Here's the table being sanded.
That's Mang Bert's third son. Too bad none of his 2 older sons learned the ways of a master carpenter.
Here's the table semi-finished in the garage.
Materials spent is almost Php2,100 and the labor is Php1,700 (including repair for the leaking gate valve). So that's Php3,800 total. I may ask for additional work though to reinforce the bracing of the top. I imagine it will eventually sag in the middle after much use.

I felt tired and achy today. But after I took a packet of Extra Joss, I felt the soreness disappear! It's been quite some time that I stopped eggbeatering and today resumed it. The free lessons kids were there and they're still few. I reckon towards the last weeks, it'll be packed again. It's good to have some noise again at the pool.
