Third of the four part Nostalgic Moments..
If there is one thing that I am grateful for while growing up, that is being able to play volleyball all the freaking time. In the streets, at the school courts, summer leagues, school year leagues, national leagues, name it, I have played there.
When I learned that I was having a baby girl, aside from the typical wish of a mother that her child be normal and healthy, I prayed that Anika will love the sport like I have.
Volleyball has been good to me. It was my outlet in my youth. For someone like me who came from a broken family, I turned to volleyball. For someone like me who is so papansin, I thrived on the feeling of being good in something. Volleyball was it. And not everybody knew that volleyball also prevented someone like me to enter into drug, sex and violence which was very common in the 80s and 90s.

Best Server Award at the Inter Ayala Companies League
My Best Tosser Award from the Inter MBA League. After 16 years, I retired na when I received this award. Eto lang talaga ang gusto ko makuha eh! haha!
aside from making a difference in your life from playing volleyball, you also helped someone like me who has "huge phobia" with balls...literally. you gave me the confidence that i could serve, toss and put that ball over the other court. thanks fleur to all that "bulyaw" i got from you....because now i can play it like a pro ( o sige not a pro,pero yung tipong mapapanalo ko yung group). no pain, no gain. no guts no glory. more power fleur. you are such a blessing to others. i love yah!
