Pool Cue or Bowling Ball

Years ago, homeowners from our village have formed groups to compete with each other in the bowling tournament the village homeowner association officers have created.  It was a tournament that started in duckpin then eventually, we grew tired of the small bowling balls and turned to ten pin bowling.  Bowling is supposedly a quiet competition but ours was a tournament filled with boisterous and annoying cheers. It was not a serious competition though, that’s why players are like kids in a playground. I stil remember, when some would even play billiards while waiting for their turn to play bowling. These billiard cum bowling players would even forget what he is supposed to be holding, a pool cue  or a bowling ball.  Fun to think how one of the players mocked another when the ball thrown went rolling down the canal of the bowling alley.  It was really hilarious with the comical acts of some players who are natural comedians.  With every games won, there was a corresponding Pizza from the losing team. And modesty aside, we were always full with pizzas. (Lol!)

I miss those tournaments now.  Those games have led all of us to bond together and form a closer friendship.  Every birthdays are celebrated with everyone around, there were countless out of town travels, one of which is the Baguio trip done in long convoys of cars.  A lot more happy moments were enjoyed together which were initiated by the  tournament.
