Week 17 - 28th Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament
Tuesday again! And, this is the antepenultimate week.
My scores were 170, 166, and 191 or an average of 176. On my third game, had I punched out the last frame, I could have scored 226, which would qualify me to the elite 225 Club. Unfortunately, it was a wide split. Too bad!
More than 450 (per Aileen’s estimate) bloggers and friends, once again, converged at the Taste Asia - MOA to celebrate the Octoberfest 120 Na with the sponsor San Miguel Beer. At the gate, the bloggers and friends were greeted and received by alluring, tempting, beautiful, and sexy San Miguel Octoberfest ladies.

The World Heart Day is celebrated simultaneously in 100 countries every 4th Sunday of September to promote awareness, reduction and prevention and primary care of cardiovascular disease. This year, it's on September 28. And, the theme is "Do you know your risk? It's a call to action to help people better understand their personal risk for cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, the silent killer.It’s Tuesday again and the 16th week of the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Bowling Tournament. But, I wasn’t able to attend.
Before leaving home for office, I made it sure that my bowling ball and uniform were already in car. Last week, I forgot the ball. Luckily, I was still about a kilometer away, when I remembered my ball.

I just found out about the Singapore Motorshow 2008 from Kotse.com.

I just downloaded, installed, and used my fourth browser. I have been using Mozilla Firefox 3 as my default browser, and have been testing the Google Chrome, the newest web browser. Yesterday, I started using and testing Internet Explorer 8.
I received a comment in my post “Screenshot of the three browser” from HyperBallistic:
"How come no one ever includes Opera in web browser comparisons, imo its better then all the others combined, and half the "new and exiting features!" in browsers recently have been in Opera for months/years. Blegh."Read more . . .
Some months back, I downloaded and installed Mozilla Firefox 3. It’s now my default web browser. Early this month, I downloaded and installed Google Chrome to test it. Now, I downloaded and installed the Internet Explorer 8 ( IE8 ) Beta 2. Yes, I will also test it.
Aki Gaul visited one of my blogs, My Daily Text, and left a message. Reciprocally, I clicked the link to his site. Then, I learned that he’s an Indonesian; and, his blog is written in Indonesian.
I’m not an Indonesian and knew nary a word of it; so, how could I understand what he wrote. I was about to post a thank you message then leave; when, all of a sudden, I decided to read some of his posts. One post is about OctoberFest. It’s about the beer festival that’s being held annually in Germany and in other parts of the world and how it’s being celebrated. Then, I left a comment to this in his Indonesian language.
How did I understand his posts and commented to his post in his language?

I learned it first from Ade at www.i.ph forum and immediately registered. Then, I went to Aileen’s “An Apple a Day” to get more details.
San Miguel is inviting, through Aileen, all bloggers for a special Oktoberfest party just for bloggers.Today, I heard reports that MMDA personnel were, instead of issuing traffic violation receipts, requiring violators to be an eye donor in the event of their death.
But, it isn’t MMDA but the Makati City Police Department. In partnership with the Eye Bank Foundation of the Philippines (EBFP), today’s traffic violators that were caught in Makati City were condoned by the Makati City police provided they agreed to donate their eyes or other organs, except sex organs, upon their death. The project is titled “Ticket Mo Sagot Ko, Basta I-Donate Mo Ang Mata Mo (Your ticket is on me, provided you donate your eyes)”.
Week 15 - 28th Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament
I was glad it’s another Tuesday of bowling. I left our home in Novaliches, Quezon City at around 5:30 AM. After traveling about a kilometer, I realized that my bowling bag, of course with my bowling ball, wasn’t in the car. So, I turned around and got it. It’s good I was thinking about the bowling, which reminded me that I forgot to load the ball in the car.
I scored 155, 171, and 183 or an average of 170. Not bad, I thought. Had it not for the 3 unconverted splits in my first game, I could averaged better. Actually, I had four splits but converted one only.
WILD is how I describe the traffic scenarios in the Philippines. In tight traffic situations, most Filipino drivers, private and public utility drivers alike, become WILD. They are undisciplined, in a hurry, unkind, discourteous, hot-headed and disobedient to the traffic rules and regulations.
...ooOoo...
The theme is WILD.
This section of the river in Nagcarlan, Laguna, Philippines is somewhat WILD.
Let’s play chess!
With the just concluded 3rd President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (PGMA) Cup International Open, where the Philippines and Asia’s first Grand Master Eugene Torre emerged as the Champion, my interest and zeal in chess rekindled. I wanted to play chess again. I miss announcing “check” and “mate” or hearing my opponent says “I resign”. To hone my skills in chess again, I have to look for other wood pushers whom I could play with. Or, I could just search for online chess games, which is more convenient.
I am congratulating Mr. Jeff Carabeo and Ms. Kim Lao for outsmarting veteran bowlers like Paulo Valdez, Biboy Rivera, Liza del Rosario and Krizziah Tabora thereby winning the National Title of the 2008 Bowling World Cup last Sunday at the SM MOA Bowling Center. The duo will be sent to Hermosillo, Mexico on November 2008 to test their mettles in the international finals of the cup against the world’s bests. Last year, Paulo and Liza represented the country in the World Cup in Petersburg, Russia.
At CoMP bowling tourney tonight, my scores weren’t good: 168 – 134 – 168 (average of 157 only). Jeff and Kim’s averages are about 210. I had gunned for another 200 games on my third game but only to be frustrated by three similar cherries. The pins left were 6 and 10 and I chopped the 6.
As of September 7, 2008, Kia Carens maintains its lead in the ongoing 2008 Auto Focus People’s Choice Awards as the Automobile of the Year 2008:
Yesterday, I made the last minute preparation for the WordCamp. I printed two copies of my Camper’s Pass and copied it too, together with the vicinity map, in my Nokia E90.
My entry for this week’s theme is a STRING of cars that joined in the Tsikot.com Auto Fest / Competition last February.
The trio is providing music and fun to the patrons. Two of them are using instruments with STRINGS called "guitars".
