*****

First timers ang team namin (Screaming BB's) na sumali ng Megaball. As usual, sabit na naman kami sa tropa team namin - Team Apocalypse. It was also my come-back appearance in airsoft after taking a break from the game for like three months! Same goes for most of my teammates, kaya kating-kati kami kumalabit ng gatilyo.

Apocalypse contractors - Screaming BB's
L-R: John Lloyd Cruz, Phatboi, Lloyd, Jeng

Screaming BB's (SBB) attendance: Obi, Zeb the Destroyer, Kuneho, Jubay Bomber, Phatboi, Jeng, Lloyd, Jordan, Dax, Storm

Buti na lang gumagana pa yung baril ko. Malamang nagtatampo na yun sakin sa tagal kong hindi nayakap... ahuhuy. Salamats kay Ian at Jason sa pag kumpuni.

Day 1
Kay Kuneho ako sumabay papuntang Mimosa. Hip hop tracks on the player. Boo hiss... Funks Not Dead! Haha. Pag dating sa Mimosa, deretso na kami registration. Tanghalian na nun kaya naghanap na kami ng makakainan.

After lunch, we were assigned our villa. Kasama namin sa bahay ang isang contingent ng Apocalypse. Heck, we even registered under Team Apocalypse. So for the rest of the event, ampon muna kami ng Apo. Hehe. We were assigned to the White Contingent.

Pag setup sa villa, sabay bihis sabay laro. Andaaaaaming players. I heard there were at least a thousand plus who registered. Kung sang sang lupalop pa ng Luzon galing! Flip TV covered the event and I heard it'll be aired in Y-Speak (...or Jack TV?? I have no idea when). Na-interview pa si Zeb nung cute na chick anchor lady. Pano akala batang naglalaro ng airsoft... di nila alam desisyete na ang hinagupak. Waha. Inggit ang buong kalalakihan!

After the games, we hit the villa, took a break (with aching bodies), then prepped up for the Fellowship Night (pinagandang tawag sa inuman) at Mimosa Casino! Medyo nabitin kami sa buffet kaya with Sir Arvin from Team Northern Alliance, lumabas pa kami ng Clark para maghanap ng KFC para sa naglilihing si Kuneho. We passed along the red light district of Clark and somebody told that it's not even half "alive" when it was on its heydays!

Sarado na lahat ng KFC. Sa Jollibug kami napadpad. Pagkatapos, balik kami sa villa. Dahil makati pa ang paa, hinila pa kami nila Dax para mag lakwatsa. Balik kami sa Mimosa Casino at wild na ang crowd (senglot na lahat ng airsofters). Libre ang beer! Kaso Colt at Lone Star (lasang plastik)... kwang kwang! Pero tyaga tyaga... ang mahalaga, laseng! Parteeeey!

May isang malaking timba na puno ng beer tapos pinag papasa-pasahan sa paligid in the beat of the music. Tas kada may tumutungga, sinisigaw yung pangalan ng Team niya. Dun ko feel yung camaraderie ng mga players para sa event. Kahit yung mga non-player customers napasali na sa kalokohan... kahit yung mga Kano!

Ang lumaklak sa timba para sa Team namin ay si Kuneho (tinuturo pa ko ng loko, ako na lang daw)... SBB! SBB! SBB! SBB!

Pero hindi dun nagtapos ang kati ng paa. Lumabas pa kami ng Clark ulet para maghanap ng gimikan, mapilit si Jordan e. We ended up in this bar named Balk Line. Eto na yung pinaka disenteng lugar na nakita naming pwedeng tambayan. So ayun tambay lang. Tapos umuwi din nung boring na.


Day 2
Tanghali na nagsipag-gising. Naghanap ulit kami ng makakainan. There's this cantina near the compound's basketball court that offers sisig na mui deliciooooso!

Tambay ulit sa villa. Before 2pm, we geared up for the day's games. Nagkaron ng konting commotion when a dude from the opponent's side got a head injury from a direct BB hit. Nothing serious though, so the day resumed as is.

An in-game shot of the White Contingent (where we belong)

After the games, a gathering was held at the assembly area for the recap of Megaball 2K7 with the announcement of winners, more raffle draws, battle dress competition, and team photo ops.

Team Apocalypse bagged the award for the team that has the most number of participants. As of the last update that I heard, we numbered at 200 pax plus.

Bago umuwi, dumaan muna kami sa Marina sa Dau para bumili ng airsoft stuffs. I got me-self a Multicam-pattern shirt and a military green sweater (na sinuot ko na din agad pauwi). Nice.
