New Bowling Ball
September 16, 2011After the Village’s Third Conference Bowling Tournament set off a couple of weeks ago, I make sure that I drop by the bowling lanes every once in a while to practice. I usually play along with my friend who’s a good player. Last time we visited Commonwealth Bowling Lanes, I was fascinated to check out the bowling balls on display at their Bowling Store. Then, the OC in me took over my sanity. The last thing I knew, I was carrying home my new bowling ball in its new bowling bag as well.
Just like a kid who’s got a new toy, I was ecstatic with my latest loot. Now that I have my own, I won’t be using those grimy house balls being used by everyone. The other lady players can’t snatch this ball from me anymore. I wonder why they love to use the particular ball which I am using, when there are plenty others that weighs the same. I was the one who looked for that particular ball, (it’s always been the same ball I am using) searched for it all over the place, then stash it beneath the ball ramp. What is annoying is that they would really try to reach for that house ball which I set aside even though there are too many of its kind right in front of them. Grrrr!
Now, I don’t need to come early to the game to search for that ball. It’s all theirs including its grimes! Lol! I just need to find the right way to give out a consistent smashing strike. Woot!
Little store by the road
September 9, 2011It’s always fun to exit the city and go ’round the nearby provinces. The fave place we frequently visit is Bataan. In one of our weekend beach outings, we headed to Morong. As we pass by Bagac town, a number of signages show cashew nuts for sale. We’ve been passing by this town for quite a long time since I was younger but didn’t notice the many cashew trees lining up the road. ‘Twas only then that I saw how the cashew fruit looks like as it hangs on the tree.
We stopped by this little store on the side of the road and found cashew nuts in plastic bags hanging for customers to see. They also got fresh honey for sale.
Nice to discover new things although such stuff have long been there since time immemorial. It’s just that they are being ignored for other more interesting stuff along the road.
