Bag Tag

I got tagged by R in this entry of her blog. This should be quick to make so I’m giving it a go. As of reading R’s entry, the last bag I used today was my tennis bag.

I chose Head brand because, well, I have this irrational belief that everybody loves Prince and Wilson is just too “up there” for me. Head is neither too popular nor too unknown.

There are usually two types of tennis bags—the big ones where the entire racquet can fit inside and the backpack version. I chose this because I felt that it can serve many purpose aside from being a tennis bag. To date, I’ve used this during overnights and even in mountain trekking. Also, it can be ma-porma but not too much. One’s gear can be associated with one’s skill level and I don’t want to sport an uber kick ass big tennis bag when I’m not consistently consistent in my game (geh..>_<).

These are the other features of the bag, aside from the main compartment where I put my clothes and racquet. There's the shoe bag, mp3 player, celphone and miscellaneous compartment and padded shoulder straps. What I also like about this bag is that it has 6 zippered compartments and that’s a lot of stuff that I can put in. It even has it’s own “raincoat”.

This was how much it cost me. I think this bag is almost a year and a half old. By the time I bought it, I was still under the category of super noob, and because of my notion of porma = performance, I didn’t use it until it was about maybe 4-5 months old.

The stuff inside are the basic tennis gear: my racquet (also Head), the sports kikay kit, Slazenger tennis balls and Prince tennis strings (yes, it’s Prince—this was a gift to me; I usually use Toalson). In the other compartments are my extra shirts, towels, water bottle, wallet, celphone, medical tape and band-aids (in case of blisters).

Hmm, guess that’s it. I’m tagging Summer, Trina, Pat, Anton and P-chan.
