Let the games begin...

Yesterday marks the start of the company's bowling tournament. Every Friday until August 3 will be a very ecstatic day for all of us.

Ten teams, 9 - 10 players each. 7 players will be allowed to play per game (3 games per competition day), only the highest 5 scores will be counted including the score of the female (female score is important... hehehe). Default score is 80 (for those whose score is below 80 and those who were not able to play).

As they always say about our team...The Future Champions!!!!!

I have been assigned to tally the scores and prepare the bulletin and statistics of each player and team. It's a good start for my team. We beat our opponent 5-0.

First day high!

I really got high with my kids' first day at school.



I woke up at around 4:30 am and haven't slept since then. Flag ceremony for my eldest daughter and only son is at 7:00... I have to accompany them first to their respective rooms. Then I went home. AT a little past 12 noon. I then accompanied my youngest to the same school. Since its her first time to attend school, she cried and her adviser allowed me to accompany her for today inside the room.

Now my problem will be the dismissal time. My son (Grade 1) will be dismissed at 2:10, then my eldest (Grade 3) at 2:50. Finally my youngest at 3:20. Supposedly I could pick them all up at 2:00, but a sudden change in the Kinder schedule made me asked for reinforcement from my Mom.

It's a good thing the school is just a stone's throw away from our house. Now we all need to adjust our time. My kids having to wake up early... and I have to wake up earlier... Masasanay din ako.

Drained

As of this writing, I am totally drained. For two straight days I am physically and mentally challenged. All i wanted to do is to lay in my bed and go to sleep. Our yaya went home last Thursday. My mom made plans on the last minute of Thursday evening leaving me no choice but to be on leave from work.

I have to wake up early to prepare breakfast and clean the house. Then while I wait for the meat to get tender, I bathe and clothe the kids. Multi-tasking. Then they ask you the same questions over and over. Or they bug me on what I am reading, on what I am doing. Kakakpagod.

I am not complaining about me taking care of my kids. It's just that when I am at home lahat ng palabas ng mga anak ko, ginagawa nila. I always ask my mom and yaya if they (my kids) are like that when I am at work. They would answer - NO. I guess they are testing my string of patience when it comes to their being pilyo at pilya... They just have to try harder. When it comes to my kids, my patience never runs out.

The downpour

It has been one hell of a downpour last night (the joys of commuting! Yeah!) I got caught in it plus the heavy traffic everywhere! The good thing is that I'm already inside the fx when the rain began. I pity those people who are stranded.

The first time i encountered being out of the house during a very mabagyong ulan was when I was in High School. I was still in 3rd year then. We were having varsity practice. In the afternoon, it rained hard. Some of my co-varsitarians braved to walk along A. Bonifacio with knee to thigh high flood waters!!!! EWWWW! Unfortunately, we walked back to school and spend the rest of the night there. Free lunch for the night and breakfast the following day. yummy!

Then when I was still in college, we slept at a classmate's house because of the rains. Went home early in the morning, took a bath and went back to school. Sheez!

What i don't like with this heavy downpour is being stuck inside the car/fx/van... falling asleep and waking up realizing that you're still at the place where you have fallen asleep. Or if you have your own car, being ganged by those teenage kids looking for helpless motorists. They would charge you too much by just pushing your car out of the flood.

A lot of drainage digging is being done all throughout Manila and QC. They add up to the flood and traffic. I just hope that after the digging is over, a smoother traffic flow will be seen even if may malabagyong ulan uli na mangyari. Also those motorcycles adds up to the volume of traffic. They would let the rain pass by staying under an overpass, underpass or footbridge. So the 3 or 4 lanes road will be reduced to a 1-2 lanes.
