Let me start off with Team ADOBO, comprised of Grace Que, Lino Matamis and Blue Sapalaran. Sorry, Grace and Lino, but the song ended up being all about Blue, who "rose from the dead" (sandbagger...) to play superbly against Team BALUT, proving yet again that Team BALUT brings out the best in their opponents (ibo-blog ko kasi)! To the tune of Rico Puno's Kapalaran, here is Sapalaran (the Team ADOBO song):
O why is it like that
Why is life so am-payr (unfair)
Sometimes you're on top
But BALUT's always under
Sapalaran of Team ADOBO
He could not be found
But against us, he made hataw
We could not rebound
O bakit ba ganyan
Si Blue Sapalaran
BALUT ay binigo
ADOBO'y nagtagumpay
Di masisi ang iyong bola
Team BALUT naka-isa
Thank you sa one point na binigay!
O that brings back memories of a sea of pink, the Philly Pinoy MFL players on our Wear Pink day, and Blue and I facing off in the last frame of the last game as the whole league watched. Blue has since continued his awesome play, scoring in the 200s = hey, that's the Blue I know! Grace has also gotten better and better = her consistency with the 10-pin was uncanny on the evening of our match, but I was immensely proud of her when I saw her stringing strikes on Week 9, way to go! Mang Lino, hang in there, you are capable of exploding with a 200 game. Hataw, Team ADOBO!
The next number of our program is a song for Team TAPSILOG, which has Team BALUT's practice buddies: Desi Mercado, Ivan Masanga and Angie Sotomango. Since Desi is a karaoke king, and I have heard him give a soulful, heartfelt rendition of this song, here is the Team TAPSILOG Song to the tune of Only You (naks!):
TAPSILOG (tapsilog tapsilog)
Ivan, Angie, Desi
TAPSILO-O-OG (tapsilog tapsilog)
Geriatric daw (sabi)
Just like BALUT, they have itlog
Their bowling balls are all bilog
Always in my blog
Our dear Team TAPSILOG (tapsilog tapsilog)
TA-HAP-SI-LO-HO-HOG (tapsilog tapsilog)
They practice hard and long
TAPSILO-O-OG (tapsilog tapsilog)
With focus they play strong
With them we practice every week
For bowling we are all sabik
Addict na addict
BALUT and TAPSILOG
Hmm, hard and long, ha...wah na 'ko say! As true bowling buddies, I am sure we will all continue to practice and play together, regardess of what teams and leagues we play in in the coming months and years. Kitakits sa bolingan, dear friends!
I have always loved the song Downtown which is the tune for the Team MONAY song. Team MONAY has Chelo Compendio, Edwin Sanchez and Art Coronado. We split two points each at our Week 9 matchup: hating kaibigan! To the tune of Downtown (chorus), here is the Team MONAY Song:
MONAY!
Chelo, Art at Edwin
MONAY!
Nag-split tayo ng win
MONAY!
We enjoyed playing with you!
Sorry, so short and sweet is your song. But this is because the rest of the song Downtown inspired the fourth non-team-related song in this Pahabol Blog Bowling Songfest. Aptly entitled Bowling (but of course, ano pa?), here is song #4:
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
You can always go
BOWLING
When you're unhappy
All the pins that go flying
Give you joy, I know
BOWLING
Just listen to the racket of
The people that are playing
Smell the stinky shoes and the
Cheese pizza that is burning
Don't blow your fuse....
The lights may be on or off
The kids are running and screaming
But it's only two bucks! So go
BOWLING
Practice improves your game
BOWLING
Sober man o lasheng
BOWLING
There'll be friends waiting for you!
You will surely find good friends from the MFL at the lanes from here onward, so kitakits, hokay? I heard that some of you were already suffering from withdrawal symptoms, since there was no league play this past weekend. Two whole weeks nga naman with no MFL, ay caramba! How will you survive for the next eight months until MFL returns in Fall 2014? The answer is simple: GO BOWLING. The 4th song is for you and says it all: go bowling, my dear friends. Watch out for announcements on the Winter League: it should be another fun and exciting time for all, and another opportunity for us to GO BOWLING.
FINALS REMINDERS
Here is the list of reminders for this Sunday's MFL Finals at the Downingtown Palace. Sorry if you already know some of this, I just need to make sure we all REALLY have the info and will actually remember the details. Here goes:- We will have potluck dinner starting at 6:00 pm. Tables will be laid out in the dance floor. Come hungry and prepared to sample some yummy dalisyusness (talap talap).
- Bowling fee of $15 is still due. Bring cash or check made payable to "cash" or "Carmelinda Capucao" (ako yun, hokay?).
- We will have the awarding ceremony right after the games, so please plan accordingly, as we WILL be there well after 9 pm. No frills, we will strive to move things along, so you can get your cold hard cash expeditiously. But hey, it is still a celebration, right? We'll party hardy!
- We will have a special surprise raffle, tickets will be distributed to all players for free. We made an executive decision to not have a 50/50 raffle on Finals night. If you would like to donate an additional special prize, please let me know via email or cell.
From the deep recesses of our hearts, we wish to thank y'all for being a part of this league. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed doing the behind-the-scenes stuff, and that the loving care we put into it was evident in the outcome, naks! Until the Winter League, and until the MFL returns once again next year, BOWL ON! Mabuhay ang Philly Pinoy!
