Ika-Anim na Linggong Labanan

We had a solemn start to our MFL Week 6, with a moment of silence and a community prayer led by Jun Young in memory of Michael Nicolas. Rest in peace, Michael.

Since it was Filipino theme night on Week 6, I will now switch to my native tongue for the poetry and highlights sections of the blog.

Sa ika-anim na linggo ng ating Bahay Kubo na liga

Umiinit ang mga labanan ng mga amigo at amiga

Bawa’t puntos na makamit, bawa’t talo na kay saklap

Ang gumaling at manalo, taimtim na pinapangarap

 

Luya, Upo’t Singkamas ay nasa posisyong ninanasa

Sa kanila’y sumusunod ang Talong, Sitaw at Kalabasa,

Bawang, Patola, Labanos, pati Sibuyas at Kamatis

Ang Mustasa at Patani sa ilalim ay may hapis

 

Nguni’t laging may pag-asa habang labana’y ‘di pa tapos

Ibigay ang lahat bawa’t linggo nang ‘di maghikahos

Makisama sa katuwaan, makisakay na sa saya

Ang mga alaalang tulad nito ang babalikan tuwina

 

O kay ganda, o kay gandang mag alay sa inyo (naks!) ng mga masayang Linggong may MFL bowling sa gabi!   Sana’y wala nang wakas (Sharon) at sana maulit muli (Gary V!) at sana pag-ibig nalang ang isipin...ayayay!  Heto na ang highlights ng Philly Pinoy Mixed Fall League (MFL) Week 6 na ginanap nitong nakaraang linggo, Oktubre ika-18, 2015 sa Limerick Bowl.

 

 

Lanes 21-22:  Nanalo ng tatlong puntos ang Team Luya (Atit, Gigi at Nonoy) sa Team Sibuyas (Lino, Lolet at JoelD).  Pinaiyak ng Luya ang Sibuyas.  Nag-uumapoy si Nonoy, walang patawad sa kalaban, dahil may inspirasyon sa mahal na kabiyak (#1 fan) na pumapalakpak sa kanyang tabi…hay!

Lanes 23-24: Nakatatlo rin ang Team Patola (Dennis at Edwin, si Lanie ay nagprebowl) sa Team Bawang (Jojo at James, at si Bicoy na nag sub para kay Chelo).  Binulag ni Dennis ang kalaban sa taas ng kanyang mga marka: hanep!  Naka 600 series muli si James: wow!

Lanes 25-26: Walang tinira ang Team Sitaw (Alice, Jon at si Jops na nag sub para kay Roy) sa Team Mustasa (Grace, Paul at Blue).  Ipapalit na raw nina Alice at Jon si Jops kay Roy…(joke lang).

Lanes 27-28: Nagprebowl nang kay gaganda sina Marlon at Eden kaya’t mag-isang tinalisod ni Rico ng Team Talong ang Team Kalabasa nina Desi, Gabe at Jing.  O pusong sawi, sila ang nagwagi…  Mukhang laman ng washing machine ang mga pins sa bola ni Rico Labandero: sa kanyang paglalaba, ang aming pag-asang maka-isa man lang ay naglahong parang bula…

Lanes 29-30: Pinarangalan natin si Michael Nicolas ng Team Singkamas: sumalangit siya nawa…  Nagprebowl si Mila kaya’t nag-iisa si GoPapa JoelC ng Singkamas laban kay Jun, Mitchie at Edmer ng Team Upo.  Sa kalituhan sa handicaps, ang akala nila’y tig-dalawang puntos ang napanalunan nila, nguni’t sa katotohanan, naka-tatlong puntos ang Upo at isa ang sa Singkamas.

Lanes 31-32:  Isang puntos ang napanalunan ng Team Patani nina Rolly, Chona at Romy sa absent na Team Labanos (prebowl nina July at Rosie, blind ni Ed).  Makibaka, mga Patani! Hindi pa tayo tapos!

Lanes 33-34:  Ginawa ng Team Kamatis (Paolo at Raul saka prebowl ni Giovie) ang kanilang kelangang gawin para makakuha ng apat na puntos sa Team Linga.

TEAM CAPTAINS:

·        Please provide completed payment envelopes to Jing no later than after Game 1.  Preferably, all payment envelopes should be completed BEFORE PLAY, exception is when your teammates come late.

·        Both male and female league subs are potentially available if contacted directly with advance notice.

 

REMINDERS:

·        NO THEME on Sunday, October 21, MFL Week 7.

·        Remember we have Bowloween Halloween costume extravaganza in two weeks, November 1, MFL Week 8.

·        For prebowls, schedule your lanes in advance with the Limerick Bowl front desk (call 610-495-7143), so they can reserve two pre-oiled lanes for you.  With weather getting cold, lanes may not be available on evenings and weekends if you just walk in.

I have a six-game tournament this coming Sunday, October 25 (3-game doubles followed by 3-game singles for SE PA Womens 500 Club at Conchester Lanes): wish me luck, and especially good knees, good stamina and good focus to bowl well all day long until the MFL in the evening…

Bowl, baby, BOWL!!!
