Real Dragon Lover


Have I told you that am not a fan of sun and beaches and water sports? Remember my previous post regarding ADU Dragoneers? That day, my life changed as I met this monster team who loves paddling.

Of course, this was Rache's whole idea. We joined this team who calls themselves "ADMar Barbarians". They practice every Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at Shangri-La. At first I don't even know why a lazy ass woman like me joined this kind of team. I mean - I'm not into sports, I don't work out, I drink, smoke and party hard. But I was like, okay, bring it on!

So after some trainings with these guys, I got the privilege to paddle with them in this dragon boat festival. It's some kind of a race open for everyone. Rache keeps on telling me that this team is the "king" of dragon boat here in Abu Dhabi and after paddling with these guys, hell yeah they are!

I actually didn't find it hard socialising and making friends with the team as most of them are from back home - "kabayans kumabaga". Plus the Coach is nice and a real person to look up to.

As I was saying, I got the chance to paddle with these guys and gawd, they are mosters! They We received almost all of the awards.

I think I am loving and enjoying this sport. I guess you'll see more of me under the sun in the boat with a paddle on both hands! :D

Peace out! x
