Scrabble day

I've been recovering from the stressful school days that have just passed. It's already summer and what will keep me busy this vacation is our OJT. Right now I still have a few more days before I officially start my work in PLDT so I spend the remaining time purely on relaxation and entertainment.

Since I borrowed a couple of DVDs from Christian, I spend most of my time watching those movies. It's really a good thing that I have them because I am able to watch new movies which are mostly science fiction movies. As of now, I've already watched War of the Worlds, a bit of I Robot because I fell asleep when i was watching it, The Core and Jason X which lately I've found out that I've already watched it in a movie theater sometime during my high school days.

I also spend my time playing Scrabble with my sister. Actually, it started one day when I was doing nothing and she initiated the game. At first, I was hesitant because i thought it would be boring because it's like so childhood days but then I tried it out, anyways I was doing nothing that time. After that, we went for another round until we get used to playing scrabble during our slack time and mostly after watching a movie.

Right now, on the second day, we already have six rounds playing scrabble and I'm proud to say that I got 4 of the 6 rounds. In the most recent round, I thought it was the best game that we had because we got high scores and in the middle of the game I was surprised when my sister had all of the tiles in her rack laid so it was a scrabble! I felt so low that time and I thought that it was useless to fight because in that elusive turn of hers, she got 90 points from the word "sequoia", the highest so far. But then I continued the game when I also got a high score but low enough compared to hers right after her record-breaking turn. A couple of turns passed and then when I got my tiles from the box and shuffled them I formed the word "benedict" with a missing "e" so I searched for a good spot in the board and found one! I just thought, I am also scrabble! It was still my sister's turn so I was still unsure if I could place all my tiles there on the right spot. I was feeling freaky that time but then luck went into my part. I was able to lay all the tiles there then I was technically and officially scrabble woohoo!! The score I got from it is lower than my sister's because it was only 14+50 points but the prestige of being able to lie all of my tiles down made me feel proud of myself ahaha!



When all the ponits were tallied, I found out that I won the round. I got 358 points and my sister got 356 points. Whew! What a game that was!
