Never underestimate the first assumption of things. If one looks deep enough, there is more than that one reason hidden beneath that one assumption you make.
Which chokes me up, literally eating me inside out. ALL THE TIME.
I wonder why is it that I could never learn not to have that first assumption, rather than to listen to whatever information I am given, before deciding the final verdict. Then again, with a hidden LEGEND behind every little thing, how is it possible not to make the first assumption?
The first assumption is that hurdle, where we stop and make a decision if we would want to learn more about that legend behind that icing of it.
For example, Cheerleading.
What would your first assumption be?
+ girls dancing around with short skirts
+ pom poms
But if you asked a cheerleader, by the utter of the word Cheerleading, it rings us a whole different picture than those who knows little about this sport.
+ tossing people
+ extreme tumblings
By the looks of it, it already seems like a whole different thing altogether. Maybe a little more appreciation of what it truly is.
But we can never run away from that first impression thing we have, do we?
It is like looking at a piece of cake, it looks nice, and we wanna buy it, and have a taste of how it really tastes like. If it's good, we go back for more, if it isn't, we just stop buying it. It could probably save many lives too. Who knows if this legend behind it could actually bring harm to whoever who is about to know about it. Who knows...
Anyhoo, I got myself into playing Frisbee. All I thought was : a simple play at the beach, throwing discs at each other. I WAS SO WRONG. It is one whole competitive sport altogether. The fact that I took it lightly, the fact that it is actually a real sport, scares me. Maybe it is my mistake for taking EVERYTHING lightly, and it feels like I can't do anything at all. Still, it does actually involves a whole lot of running and strategies. It reminds me a lot like netball, just that the accuracy, is highly dependent on how one throws the frisbee.
They call it Ultimate Frisbee.
It is ultimate, really. I remember a friend told me about it being a sport, but I never took it seriously. A friend of mine almost dragged me into a frisbee club in Sunway University, again, I took it lightly. Now, my friend asked me to join. I figured I haven't been exercising and doing much socialising, I figured, 'frisbee shouldn't be that bad, for a person who hasn't played at all'.
WRONG.
Dangit, they were all playing like pros, it scared the crap out of me. I did not only join to play as a joy, I actually joined to compete. Still wondering if it's a big mistake I made there, cause I definitely feel like a dead weight if I were to play with/for them.
To look at the positive side, I finally understood the game of Frisbee. Would have to say, I respect them who plays Frisbee professionally now. Throwing the disk with pressure and people blocking you, is not easy. Not to forget the amount of running you need to do throughout the whole game. Much like futsal, except, everyone in the team actually has to run all over the field. I wouldn't want to know how big the field is, otherwise I would make a huge fuss about it. For a person who hasn't excersised for like ever, running around for about 2 to 3 hours is pretty impressive (at least for myself, the one person who has extremely low stamina...)
I FINALLY PHYSICALLY EXERCISED!!!
aside from dancing in my room, that is.
I actually miss running.
