Seize the Night!!!

It’s been a week since I last went to school/work and I’m still stuck at home doing very little. Sure, I may get to bum around (something I haven’t done in awhile) but after a whole week of eating, sleeping, playing video games, scratching my tummy, and variations and/or combinations of the aforementioned, it just got too boring.

Ever since this moring, I’ve tried desperately to find something to do. Noticing that I’m starting to gain poundage (as if I’m not fat enough), I wanted to take my bike out for a spin, but then it started raining (grumble). So I just went back to my room and played Metal Slug 4 on my laptop. Then I suddenly looked over to my wall and saw my nunchucks hanging. And so I started twirling them.

I’ve been training with those ‘chucks for the past 3 months, and I’m proud to say that it’s paying off (I can wield them fast while blind-folded). Although, I did get a lot of bruises, bumps and hits on certain sensitive areas, I still think that it’s worth it.

I have two pairs of nunchucks: a brown long-pegged, short-chained one; and a black short-pegged, long-chained one. Noticing that the brown one looks a bit ‘woody’ and the black one starting to chip, I decided to repaint them. Heck! I was bored anyway. So I painted the formerly brown nunchucks black and re-touched the paint of the black nunchucks, therefore I now have two pairs of black ‘chucks.

After waiting for the paint to dry, I played with them again (this time in the dark). I liked the fact that, because of their black color, they are now impossible to see when being twirled, making them perfect for night combat. I was so entranced that I decided to continue training with them in the dark (it was also good training for me to always know where the ‘chucks are hitting despite me not seeing them).

Looks like I’ll have something to keep me busy after all. I just hope I don’t get tired of it.

By the way, I named both nunchucks, too. The used-to-be-brown-now-black nunchucks I named Obsidian, while the repainted one I dubbed as Nocturne (I uploaded their pics in my photo album).

My allies in combat: Obsidian (L) and Nocturne (R).
