1/21 Winter League 1st Pahabol Blog! (with QUIZ)

Seems like I did get inspired....  Maybe coz baby, it's cold outside!  So as the polar vortex hits us once more, I am happy to present you, dear Philly Pinoy Bowlers, with the very first Pahabol Blog written for the Winter League.  I started doing the Pahabol Blogs for the Mixed Fall League (MFL), mostly to share some quotable quotes, get the word out (and the back story...chismis-try major ako!) and generally to get everybody all hyped up about playing each week.  Through the Pahabol blog quizzes, folks got to know more about each other and could better remember who was playing on which teams.  Siempre, as more inspiration hit, it became another vehicle for more poetry and a collection of karaoke songs.  We'll see how it goes with this league (wala pang song, so far....).

Well, I am all excited that the Week 1 results are now posted on the Philly Pinoy Website.  Get excited with me so we can all get excited together, coz baby, it's cold outside!  Kudos to Paolo Quimbo for doing double duty as point person/ organizer of the league and also Webmaster for the Philly Pinoy website.  He's got it all going on!

Since I did not post about our Fun Night, some highlights are embedded into this blog.  Our bowlers are getting better and better each year, the matches are exciting from week to week.  Galing talaga ng Philly Pinoy bowling!

O sige, it's ....QUIZ TIME!

This is a two part quiz.  Most questions are about our Philly Pinoy bowlers: you get bonus points if you can name their team.  Answers are given at the bottom of the blog.  The "prize" is pride in knowing your league well.  Good luck!
