Retirement
Sunday, December 17th, 2006I played Initial D today. After 4 months of forced abstinence, I played it again. Funny how just 4 months could do to my driving. To make it plain and simple, I sucked. If I were one of the "elite" drivers last August 2006…I deteriorated to the point that 4th string drivers could beat me now.
Fortunately, there was noone there to witness how horrifying my driving abilities had become. I even felt pity for myself. But then again, after 10 tokens, I told myself…it’s just a game. There’s no point in sticking to something that won’t reward you in any way. I’ve already made a name for myself in that realm. To prove it, just bring up my nickname "Z1" to any Initial D player…most probably 7 out of 10 people that you asked knows me. That was my objective when I started playing it, to prove that I’m good enough to compete with the best…so sabi nga nila "when you’ve reached the top, there’s no where else to go but down…". So I’ve been thinking of "retiring" for good, frame my Initial D cards and hang them on a wall in my room. ^__^
But then again, a new version of Initial D will come out on March 2007…well, only time will tell…..
