I promised to write another bowling blog if we win … well, here it is … because we won!!! we are the 2008 Inter-MBA Friendship Games Bowling Champs! hahahaha not that i had a lot to do with the win! well, I am part of the team and the team won … so that includes me! I will explain further why I don’t have a lot to do with the win … but for now, let me give a blow-by-blow account of last Sunday!

So we came in by 9am … I was late by about 15 mins as I woke up late and left my aunt’s house in Marikina past 840am already … okay, maybe not this detailed!

It was an exciting event … one big fight is how the Ateneans call it! DLSU took the women’s singles and the women’s doubles … Ateneo took men’s singles and the men’s doubles! … talk about close fight! … the deciding match then is the group event a.k.a. baker for the overall champions! That’s where I come in … players not good enough to do singles and doubles but bowling addicts nonetheless! J … anyways, baker is played by 5 people … each person gets to play on two frames … 1^st player goes on the 1^st and 6^th frame … 2^nd player on 2^nd and 7^th … etc … critical frames are 9^th and 10^th … ergo 4^th and 5^th players! … I am 2^nd! J hehe goes to show the apparent disproportionality of my love for the game and my talent for the game … J anyways, we won … by a big margin actually … close second was about a ~100 points (forgot the actual scores … ) delta from AIM, I think — not even Ateneo! J 

So there … my first bowling tournament win! I guess the twice weekly Php20 bowling shoes rental was worth it … and my once-a-week Php200 Eagle Ridge bowling games rental … and my 1-2hr commute (and gas!) to Ortigas every Sunday for bowling practice … and my weekend sleep-in minus 3 hours just to be at E-lanes by 10am each Sunday! … yeah … it was worth it! J hmmm … I am all set to buy my own bowling shoes … for ~Php7K … a really nice Dexter khaki (or purple … my fave color! J) suede-like right-handed changeable slider bowling shoes!!! J hmmm … I need to join a lot of tournaments to get ROI for that! J
