word from the discussion 1. table tennis -Game similar to lawn tennis that is played on a tabletop with wooden paddles and a small, hollow, plastic ball. The object is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and bounces on the opponent's half of the table in such a way as to defeat the opponent's attempt to reach and return it. Both singles and doubles games are played. A match consists of the best of any odd number of games, each game being won by the player or team who first reaches 11 points or who, after 10 points each, gains a two-point lead. Invented in England in the early 20th century, it soon spread throughout the world. Since the mid-1950s, East Asian countries have dominated the sport. It has been an Olympic sport for both men and women since 1988.

-In table tennis the two color rule is used to ensure that the opponent has a fair chance of telling which side of the bat has been used to hit the ball. Before the two color rule was introduced, any color could be used for table tennis rubbers, and players were using combination bats with the same color on both sides and twiddling the bat, making it very difficult to tell which side was hitting the ball. This was considered to produce table tennis which was not spectator friendly, since it was difficult for uninformed spectators to understand why players were making seemingly simple mistakes.
The rule as it now stands states that the surface of the covering material on a side of the blade, or of a side of the blade if it is left uncovered, shall be matt, bright red on one side of the blade and black on the other.
Twiddling
-In table tennis, a twiddle (or twiddling) is the turning of the racket in a player's hand, so that the rubbers are the other way around. For shakehanders, this means that the forehand rubber is now the backhand rubber, and vice versa. For penholders, this means that the rubber on the front of the bat is now at the back, and vice versa.
-is used mainly by players who have rubbers that are quite different on both sides of the bat (a combination bat), in order to make it harder for the opponent to tell which side has hit the ball, hopefully causing the opponent to make more mistakes.
-A person deficient in intellect; one who acts absurdly, or pursues a course contrary to the dictates of wisdom; one without judgment; a simpleton; a dolt.

PINGOL,AUBREY D. Song #1.Crush by David Archuleta Puppy love is an informal term for feelings of love, particularly between young people during pre-adolescene adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the adoring, worshipful affection that may be felt by a puppy. The term is often used in a derogatory fashion, describing emotions which are shallow and transient in comparison to other forms of love such as romantic love.
Another use of the term (also commonly described as a "crush"), can be used to describe the love or lust of a child or adolescent for another of their kind or an adult. For example, a student being attracted to his or her teacher could be considered puppy love. The term may meet with resistance from some people as patronizing and belittling of genuine emotion.

1. table tennis
-Game similar to lawn tennis that is played on a tabletop with wooden paddles and a small, hollow, plastic ball. The object is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and bounces on the opponent's half of the table in such a way as to defeat the opponent's attempt to reach and return it. Both singles and doubles games are played. A match consists of the best of any odd number of games, each game being won by the player or team who first reaches 11 points or who, after 10 points each, gains a two-point lead. Invented in England in the early 20th century, it soon spread throughout the world. Since the mid-1950s, East Asian countries have dominated the sport. It has been an Olympic sport for both men and women since 1988.

Two Color Rule
-In table tennis the two color rule is used to ensure that the opponent has a fair chance of telling which side of the bat has been used to hit the ball. Before the two color rule was introduced, any color could be used for table tennis rubbers, and players were using combination bats with the same color on both sides and twiddling the bat, making it very difficult to tell which side was hitting the ball.
This was considered to produce table tennis which was not spectator friendly, since it was difficult for uninformed spectators to understand why players were making seemingly simple mistakes.
The rule as it now stands states that the surface of the covering material on a side of the blade, or of a side of the blade if it is left uncovered, shall be matt, bright red on one side of the blade and black on the other.
Twiddling
-In table tennis, a twiddle (or twiddling) is the turning of the racket in a player's hand, so that the rubbers are the other way around. For shakehanders, this means that the forehand rubber is now the backhand rubber, and vice versa. For penholders, this means that the rubber on the front of the bat is now at the back, and vice versa.
-is used mainly by players who have rubbers that are quite different on both sides of the bat (a combination bat), in order to make it harder for the opponent to tell which side has hit the ball, hopefully causing the opponent to make more mistakes.

romance-is a general term that refers to a celebration of life often through art, music and the attempt to express love with words or deeds.[1] It also refers to a feeling of excitement associated with love.[2] Historically, the term "romance" did not necessarily imply love relationships, but rather was seen as an artistic expression of one's innermost desires; sometimes including love, sometimes not. Romance is still sometimes viewed as an expressionistic, or artful form, but within the context of "romantic love" relationships it usually implies an expression of one's love, or one's deep emotional desires to connect with another person.

Irony is a mode of expression that calls attention to discrepancy between two levels of knowledge. In fiction, it is a demonstration of the distance between the character's knowledge and that of the audience.
FRIEND-is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more beings. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.

PINGOL,AUBREY D.
Song #1.Crush by David Archuleta
Puppy love is an informal term for feelings of love, particularly between young people during pre-adolescene adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the adoring, worshipful affection that may be felt by a puppy. The term is often used in a derogatory fashion, describing emotions which are shallow and transient in comparison to other forms of love such as romantic love.
Another use of the term (also commonly described as a "crush"), can be used to describe the love or lust of a child or adolescent for another of their kind or an adult. For example, a student being attracted to his or her teacher could be considered puppy love. The term may meet with resistance from some people as patronizing and belittling of genuine emotion.
