Basketful of Brags

On snakes...
Beat it Crikey! I just exterminated a snake this morning!

Around 4:00am kanina, I jolted out of sleep because of this loud crash coming from our kitchen. As usual, sa sala ako natutulog. Walang pakelaman ng trip, our sala is my room. Bihisan ko lang yung totoong kwarto ko sa taas. I quickly checked the premise to see my mom peeking out the window. Akala namin may magnanakaw lang or something sa likod bahay so I rushed to investigate, ready for action ala Robin Padilla if ever. Naks.

After ascertaining that it wasn't what we've expected, we started to turn back to our sleeps but then mommy, who went on first while I still inspect the area, returned with a pale look, whispering, "May ahas... dali". I then hurried to see where it was. Behind our ref! The source of the loud noise earlier was a container the blasted reptile was able to topple down. It was a good three feet or so, head's bobbing and all!

The rest of our conversations were in whispers since the snake looked like it was feeling our reactions. I told my mom to call the soldiers stationed at the gates for assistance (we live on a military base), but she was too petrified to move and I have to act quickly if I hope to catch it before it slither elsewhere inside the house!

Running on our backyard, I hastily searched for any weapons I could use to subdue the reptile! Reptiles! Kahit kelan, di ko nagustuhan yang mga yan... palaka, ahas, butiki, dinosaur! Pre-preho lang silang yuck sakin. Ipis at gagamba sanay ako dyan at kahit ano pang insekto... pero reptiles... aruydyoskopo! First thing I grabbed was our rusted spade and a clothesline pole. "Pwede na 'to!"

I strode back inside the kitchen and settled on top of the kitchen counter for a better vantage. The thing was coiled behind the ref, so I just played the patient predator. I was hoping to pin its head with my spade but the spade's tip is blunt that I have to make sure that I should strike it with the sharp part or risk it getting away. Alas, it jutted its head out enough for me to land an unerring blow. Trapped on the sharp edge (luckily) of the spade, I pommeled its head with the pole in my other hand. It flailed wildly before yielding, then I chopped off its head for good measures.

The comic relief was when I told mommy, "Dali Mi, kunin mo phone ko tas picture mo ko." Haha. Sabay posing! Poor thing. I was still trembling after the whole ordeal. Kawawa naman pero ahas is ahas. We can't just let it off unscathed after roaming the house.

Di naman first time ito. Sa probinsya, thrice na din kami ni Daddy nakapatay ng ahas sa loob ng bahay. Tas nanghuhuli pa kami ng bangkalang (gecko) ng mga "kalaro" ko noon. Syemps, kuwari matapang. Ayoko matuksong "Randell duwag, Randell duwag!". Haha. Yae nang matuksong "tulo uhog" wag lang duwag. Ala eh, may pride ata ire! Haha.

Sige, sampa pa duwag!

On badminton matches...
Last Monday was the second round of badminton matches for our sportsfest. I played two mixed doubles matches and won both (first, with Ai then with Chris), stretching our team streak to 6 wins and no lose! Astig. This coming Monday, we will hold the final rounds, still in Power Smash - Pasong Tamo. We just have to win one more match and could even afford to ignore the remaining two, but still emerge as the champs!

Go PINK Team!! Haha... Pink! Araykupow.

Pink Team: Obi, Aeijei, Mister Uy, Jovic, Bubung


On tenpin bowling matches...
Last night, I was able to literally boost my team's standing to third spot. Giving us a slot to compete for the finals next week! Bowling was at the Makati Sports Complex. Tatlong team lang kasi ang pinili to vie for the top spot.

[nagbuhat ng bangko] My scores for two rounds of bowling that night were 143 points and 164 points, respectively. [/nagbuhat ng bangko]

Keso de Bola
L-R: Jovic Moya, Eriel, Ghe Ghe, Miss Fe (nakatingala), Bung, Karen, Mister Uy, Eeeva, Cha Cha, Koya Mike, Spongebob (on number 10 bowling ball), Babaeng Taklob ang Mukha, BJ John, Iba Pang mga Karakter na Hindi Nakita

Tallying these scores and my past game's scores, I bagged the Best Male Bowler for the elimination round at 501 points in four games... averaging at least 125 points per game. Highest overall. Astig.

Including the team score (Team Black), our average points reached 399.25... only 20 points away from the fourth placer (Team Red). Close call. Kudos goes to my team who performed well to contribute to the overall effort of this score.

Pixelated na Kuha
L-R: Eeeva (terno sa bola), BJ John (laylay ang ulo), Cha Cha, Mister Uy, Possessed Kix, Dar na tinakluban ng ulo ni... MJ (sige tilt pa), Miss Fe, Ai na tinakluban si Manong Taga Ayos ng Computer, Sally That Girl, Obi "Boy Appear" Parcon, Ranger Roy, Dens

I'm not that confident that we'll gonna bag the championship here in bowling but who knows. Scores from the past will be reset to nada on the final games next Thursday. It'll sure be tough.

Black Team: Obi, Ranger Roy, Ghe, Chacha, Ariel (Eyryel daw ang basa)

Ika nga ng tropa kong si Hairy Critter...

"Di ako magaling, bulok lang kayong lahat"
"Di ako mayabang, bilib lang ako sa sarili ko!"

Bwehehehehe!
