the attack of tornadoes

half of my body is still aching from last night's adiks bowling tournament. masakit ang right hip bone ko down to my leg and my right shoulder is still passing most of the work to my left hand. buti nga hindi tumuloy yong blisters sa right thumb ko.

yan ba namang walang exercise at biglang sumabak sa two-game, twenty frames na labanan. minsan ko nga lang sinubukan yong heavier (was it 9-kg?) ball pero na-realize ko hanggang don lang ako sa lighter. and it allowed me to do a whole variety of stunts from a strike to spare, ma-kanal ang bola ko at humagis sa likod and almost hit one of the guys!

but it was one tremendously enjoyable afternoon with the adiks. thanks to orlee for sponsoring it "in honor" of his brother samuel roy (na ka-team mate ko together with raoul) and in the process blowing some serious cash from the intercon bill (for the bowling alley plus some refreshments na hindi makatarungan ang presyo) hanggang sa applebees where the awarding took place.

team tornado of ren, jun and irwin won. tinawag na tornado ni raoul dahil a week before the tourney eh panay na ang press release na super gagaling daw nila even quoting bowling greats paeng nepomuceno and bong coo as their supporters. eh sa totoo lang eh hindi pa naman nakakahawak ng bowling ball!!! true-blue adik talaga! hehehe...

but the psyching up paid off. nanalo nga sila, even beating ega's team who was leading after the first game. at kinopo pa lahat ng awards with jun winning the highest individual scorer. irwin who was getting frustrated from his many misses suddenly bounced back and even scored more than a hundred points on the second game after rolling a few strikes. ren also did a few tricks na nakaka-surprise para sa isang ngayon lang nakahawak ng bola. si ariel din was rolling a whole lot of strikes as well as ricky, matt, tito bong and rommel.

yong team namin ni raoul at roy? ah well, wala lang, basta nag-enjoy kami lahat sana maulit. but i doubt it if intercon will be happy if we'll be back for another tourney. eh halos mayanig ang buong hotel sa ingay ng mga adik!

here's a few pix from my cam and more of matt's shots on addicquotes na palagay ko eh ako pa rin ang mag-a-update!
