And We Made It!!!

And the results are out, our team made it to the Semis of our Bowling tourney in the office for our annual Sportsfest. We placed second overall among the 16 teams.

It was just such a bummer, I believe we could have made it to #1 with a matter of 94 points. Call it bitter or what, but I am telling the truth. Because during the 3rd round, we were the last group who started the round late. While the other are on their 4th or 5th ball already, we were just hitting round 3. After a few mins of the round, they turned off the normal lighting and used the disco ball instead. And because of that, it was really difficult to look at the aim. Especially for somebody like me who depends on the arrow-heads on the bowling lane. I could barely see my guide for each throw that I did.

The round was really not good for the entire team, but still we made it through... Hopefully, we can do better during the Semis on the 16th and eventually make it to the Finals... I am soooo excited, I will still get to play the game for free, well, thats my consolation at the least... =P

ISD Sportsfest

Today was the opening of our company's sportsfest, and I registered to play for Bowling. Though, I am not that good, but I can throw a few strikes and spares. But my main reason why I joined was, I get to play this expensive sport for free, hehehe...

Before the Sportsfest was announced Open, the Director gave a few words of wisdom. Two games were being played after the opening, Bowling and Billiards. He gave two lessons, one for Bowling and the other for Billiards.

I will only focus on what he shared about bowling as this is the only thing that interested me. He said that it is ideal that the weight of the ball that the player will use should be 10% of your body weight. And this is what was taught to me as well by my bowling mentors from Sykes. And during that time that he played, he was around 160 (i think..), and so he selected the ball with the biggest weight. Because of the too much weight, he broke his back. He then found out that it should not be 10% of one's body weight. But rather, 10% of the player's ideal weight. Since my ideal weight is 150lbs, my ball should weigh 15lbs. hmmm, nah, i will stay with what I have been using, 9lbs.

I would want to believe that it was a good game for our team, because when I tried to compute for the other team's scores, I think ours is the highest. I am hoping that we will really make it to the Semis which means, it will be another 3 games for FREE for me... hahahaha...

Below is the summary of my team's scores, and mine is the one corresponding to "M".
