OTONDO CORPER (4)

I am sad…

The day started on an awesome note. My platoon was on duty and I was part of the corpers put on kitchen duty.

It was a nice way to get to know ourselves more as we all grated Okra for lunch, served bread, egg and tea foe breakfast (you know how crazy I can get sometimes... I was the one screaming “bread of life, egg of destiny, your PPA would be in an Oil company if you eat this bread” 🤣)

Yea! Rare moment for me but I didn’t give a shit of I looked or sounded mad. I was having fun and well… I made memories.

Anyways, I knew more of my platoon members and where they came from. I laughed a lot, almost choked on my bread, felt the muscles of two dudes and told a guy how I admired his smile because in all my life, I had never seen a smile as beautiful as that (pls, your mind should not fly elsewhere… I love expressing myself).

BUT

At this moment, I feel disoriented.

Why?

I am not sure.

Well… for one, I didn’t make the karate trial (okay! That should be the only reason.)

Actually, I missed three days of practice because of a compulsory CDS training and tho I tried my best to catch up, it just wasn’t enough.

It got to a point I totally blacked out and forgot the next step and that’s how my trial ended.

Maybe I am stressed… maybe I am thinking a lot… maybe I got scared because something I was meant to do for fun became something I had to be judged on and that took away my excitement for the sport… I really can’t say.

Anyways, this too shall pass away because I must enjoy my stay in camp to the fullest.
