Darts: A New Hobby By Force

For almost two weeks now, I strive to venture into  a different endeavor. It is an open book that blogging is my lone past time.  Another hobby came into the picture and it was introduced to me by force. I just had no choice.

I was listed down as one of the players for the Commission’s Mindanao Goodwill Games to be held at Prosperidad, Agusan Del Sur on May 7-11, 2009. This is entirely way out of my comfort zone! You can imagine the look on my face when my big boss blurted out that I need to practice darts because I will be representing Region XII for the competition!

Sweet heavenly!

Of course I reasoned out I am handicapped. I have a very poor vision. But the Boss explained that they can’t find anyone who have the access to play and the time to practice. So I really have no choice.

Sigh!

You see, all the boys at work play darts. They have been joining competitions and one of the girls at work made it to Top 4 once in the National Darts Federation after about almost 2 weeks of extensive practice. We even have our own dart board in the office! It has become a real  hobby for them.

I am left with little choice but to work my a$$ off during practice. The first two days of practice gave me excruciating pains on my arms and shoulders! In between breaks, I always see to it that I am holding a dart shaft. The boys were real patient with me in teaching me how to do things.

See the photos below for proofs

Serious???

Is this for real????

With exactly one more week before the competition, I am still a work in progress.  I am not a potential winner but I have learned to love the game
