Smash the Stress Away : An After-Work Badminton Session in Aquamarine Sports Complex Lipa City Batan

Hello everyone, I just want to share a video of an active and fun Badminton night together with my friends in Aquamarine Sports Complex, Lipa City, last Thursday, February 19, 2026.

I was invited by one of my friend Nica, to join them for their after-work Badminton session that day. It was scheduled from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm that night. Honestly, this is not the sport I usually played. I'm more into Basketball but it was a nerve-wracking week at work, and I need to somehow swipe away the stress I accumulated. So I accept the challenge, funny because I don't know the rules, serving and scoring. All I know is to smash the rocket harder when hitting the shuttlecock 🤣.

I made a lot of errors, violations, and funny movements 🤣 while playing. I was really a noob on this sport, though I played it casually in our place, but we've done it without knowing the official rules 😅.

Im really glad, with Archie, Joyce, Chester,Ms. Emy and Nica for patiently guiding us, the newbie, to play along with them. While playing, they teach me how to get the proper serving and aiming position. They let me play 3 sets continuously. The first and second set I was very energitic but in the 3rd set, I already felt the exhaustion, and it seems my right hand is getting heavier 😅. I would never expect that Badminton is also sports that consumes a lot of energy. You don't need only physical strength, but also you need your brain to strategise your gameplay. Overall, I was having fun learning how to play badminton.

Somehow, I learned the basic rules of this sport, the positioning of serving, the aiming location, and the scoring. It's a little bit embarrassing, but I'm really grateful I joined them after my working shift.

Having this kind of session is really helpful with me, it's a kind of outlet to smash the stress away at work. This time is not only reconnecting with people you care about but also a time to release the bad energy and take in the new one to face your daily tasks with full strength.

Hoping this video entertains you, and reminds you, especially those who are in a corporate world like me, that it's important also to take a pause from your busy, cluttered desk and breathe in a new energy from a session like this, and be with your friends.

That's it for this blog.
