I broke both of my ligaments when I was 19, and the operation for those torn ligaments has been postponed till now. Since then, my outdoor activities has been limited so I started doing something lighter like swimming, bowling and volleyball. But my movements were limited as i cant have sudden movement to my knees, or i might be bed-ridden for days. Much to my surprise, I started playing Paintball last year with my colleagues for an internal tournament which our team won. I know paintball is an extreme sports and require more movements, but the thrill and the adrenaline rush i got from playing superceded my worries and phobic of falling to the ground with a dislocated knee. When I started playing, there wasnt any good all women team around so I played with ARMADA till one day a friend suggested me to try out for a new all ladies team which was just newly formed. That was Ballbuster! So I went, and still playing religiously and faithfully with them. I do play for Armada sometimes, when ballbuster is not playing in the same tourney.
Paintball is a great stress buster I must say. Sometimes I accumulate all my anger and let it all out during the games. Isn't it better than releasing your anger at your innocent loved one and friends, or doing anything destructive for that matter.
There are some people who find themselves unable to "jive" with the paintballers crowd. Well, all I can say is maybe they need to get to know these people a bit more, because despite their fierce and sometimes snobbish looking face, they are actually very friendly and helpful. You just need to adapt and blend well. Dont expect everyone to follow your flow, aight!!??
Paintball has given me a lot of other opportunities, new profound joy, and more and more new friends. The friendship and sisterhood I got is priceless. If only everybody would just stop being superficial, judgemental and critical, and start accepting paintball as a good sports.
And yes, a good sports to shoot pictures too, I must say!
So what are you waiting for, go try paintball! I am sure you will like it!
Paintball suck the life out of me..and im loving it!!!

Totally agreed the friendship & sisterhood that I got are priceless. Paintball is a game that you can't work alone, must work with the team. That's how we make friends thru this sport. Cheers Jackie
