open

we had bowling last night and i was horrible!

i could not even reach the 100 plateau. an indication for how well you play that game is by reaching that score (well that's how they put it).
i've always believed i have the skills to play this game. back when the days inopacnons (natives from inopacan leyte already residing in cebu - which includes my father) had an annual bowling fest, i never failed to awe them with my scores which were always among the top. I was ten by then and i can't remember how i threw the ball.

today, i probably possess the weirdest stance of bowling. i'm the type who rely on finesse not power hehe. i throw the ball so slow hoping the ball will end up between the first and second pins. Strikes wont come in bunch but spares do. If i do succeed with having enough spares then i will have a decent score. but not anymore... last night i have enough opens, i was so in love with the gutter which resulted to tallying scores of 80 and 98. i wasted my money... i think i need more practice..

hmm.. to save me from embarrassment, i enjoyed last night's bowling anyway =p

on sports stuffs

i may not look like it but mind you am really a big fan of the NBA and MLB.
to the point of memorizing (actually not memorizing it just sticks to my mind) all the rosters from each team.
you can ask me right now while fixing a critical bug where barry bonds will be playing next season and i will answer you in a split second that he is still unemployed; still seeking for a team that will patiently take his steroid issues.

but the problem with this addiction is that no one can relate to me.
my own friends are fond of show business (i know a bit of that too)
my dad is fond of politics (he frequently updates himself with the american election this season)
i can't find someone to share my bright insights, my own witty analyses.
who to drop.. who to take.. what is lacking with the new york knicks..

[Sigh] ill just take this for now and to keep myself acquainted with these stuffs i just spend my time (even in the office) reading articles from the experts and watching boxscores do reloads.

oh by the way maybe i just miss my brother :)

y not me

a typical boring afternoon in the office wherein the last thing you can think of is deleting unnecessary files from your computer.. i snapped out of my senseless job when our japanese superior [inoue] caught my attention.

inoue: who is the incharge of pathsearch? [dont mind asking what pathsearch is]
ernie: anne
[long pause]
inoue: is dondi absent? [dondi is our project leader serving his 8th year]
ernie: yes
inoue: who is the subleader?
ernie: arnel [arnel is serving his 6th year]
inoue: why not you?

i was overwhelmed by his comment! Im just serving my 2nd year in the office and having someone to praise you like that is unexplainable. i tried to compose myself, wore my best smile and replied. "I'm too young." he answered back laughing "I'm young also."

i think i'm that good. (he indirectly said it) :)
cheers!
