LORD, bless me as I step into the COURT  to play the game of BADMINTON.

Allow me to have a good GRIP of the racket I will hold

and the game I will play.

         Guide my every STEP as I move to cover every SHOT.  

         Help me to deliver the best SERVICE

          to my fellowmen.

           Be it SHORT, LONG or even just a FLICK

           of a second.

            Give me the strength to CLEAR the way

              to reach greater heights.

               The power to SMASH all barriers that try to block

                 the way to success.

                   Grant that I may have the courage to RECEIVE

                     the blows that may come my way.

                      Increase my desire to DRIVE forward

                       despite some failures.

                        Let me not DROP my guard and become

                         complacent because of little victories.

                         Instead give me the speed to rush forward

                        to NET greater results and

                       go for the KILL to score.

                       Not just in the game of BADMINTON,

                      but more importantly in the

                      real game of LIFE.

                     Make every victory a reminder of bigger

                   and stronger challenges ahead.

                  Let every defeat become a learning experience

                that there is more to learn to become better

             and that I can also savor the joy of winning

            if I work hard to improve my game.

         Help me to understand that the person on the other side

       of the net is not just an opponent that I have to beat

       but a partner that will bring out my best in the contest.

       Finally, help me Lord to learn not just the lessons

        of the game but more importantly, the lessons of life

         that I may become an excellent badminton player,

           but more significantly a better person in life.

            Amen.

  ACBC Family!

     Friends/ Family- people who will stay with you through good or bad times.     In our badminton camp, we treat each other as family, halimbawa may pagkain ka, hindi pwedeng sayo lang dapat ipamahagi mo  din sa iba. One of the most known phrase in our badminton camp is "Share your blessings.". kasi ang blessings parang talent lang yan, if you don't share it, it will perish, so dapat magbigay. Hindi sa amin uso yung salitang "Madamot.". Kaya sa badminton lahat ng kasama mo ay kapatid mo.❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦    As badminton players, we must be able to provide a good relationship with each other because having a good relationship with others boosts your confidence when you step inside the court. That's why our coach (Alvin"Vinz" Calderon) really requires us to be able to socialize with different players from different schools, different group, or different companies.       Socializing with other people creates the thing called enjoyment and with enjoyment creates the feeling called FUN! Without fun there will be a thing called boredom and boredom will force you to stop doing the thing you really love.

LEGACY! 

These are the trophies and awards that my father and I got. (left -belongs to my dad , right-my first ever tournament trophy )

    I want to share with you the bond and closeness that my dad and I have. He is also like the normal father you have, supportive, cheerful, jolly and sometimes annoying. Aside from that, my dad is also my coach in badminton, he is really determined to train both me and my sister so that someday we will also have the triumph he has in the sport.

     He was the placed as the champion in badminton on the "Palarong LBC 2017" both regional and national finals.

On the other hand, I was also awarded as the second runner up of class A in the Alvin Calderon Badminton Camp Tournament last June 10, 2017. Being the second runner-up is not bad for me as a beginner because it was just the start of my never-ending journey. I am really thankful for my dad because without his support, I cannot engage myself in this sport.
