I remember when I first moved back to UPLB. I didn't have any friends in graduate school yet, so my sister and her boyfriend took pity in my boredom and invited me to go bowling at the Student Union Building. I was actually quite impressed that the bowling alley still works because I remember watching UPLB competitions because my aunt/family relatives/family friends used to play and we, as kids, were just watching from the sides.
So last Monday, Aya, Frankie and I went on an impromptu bowling date and had forgotten how much it can make you sweat. I was still wearing my office clothes and totally inappropriate footwear but good thing they don't require you to wear bowling shoes.
I noticed, although I already saw this last 2010, that they no longer use humans to assemble the bowling pins. I used to remember that Kuya (male bowling alley attendant) used to run for their dear lives when someone bowl the pins over. Now its a good thing that it's automated, because when I threw the bowling ball with all my might, hoping for a strike, it ran fast...diagonally, hitting the side walls of the lane making the ball jump 2 feet from the ground. I didn't even know that it can do that.
The following Monday, my "competitive" friend Frankie took off his footwear.
We have rusty bowling skills so we are officially making Mondays "Bowling Bonanza"day. I love that Mondays have fewer people hanging out. The basement of the S.U. building also has billiards hall but it happened to be closed when we went there.
