why not ice...promise me you wont bring Ethel with you. I hate playing against her. ;D ;D ;D

[gadgets88]

Powerplay Court No.6 (Taraflex flooring) is reserved tomorrow for the good-looking PMTBs.
Rain or Shine? Remember that QC (particularly Espana is floodable)
but I don't care, I'm still going even if I have to play by myself...
(Hmm that didn't come out right) ;D

7-8p.m. is our playing time!
(8-9 p.m. is fully booked, so let's pray that somebody backs out so we can play some more!)

I will only wait until 9p.m. for Mhelai to show up for our date!
Sweetie! If you're late, break nalang!


Players! Displayers! Badminton EB tomorrow night!
Bring your 24-hr-race scars for me to see!
I want to be inspired for next year!
Next year, I will join the eating spree support group! ;D

Calling on Ice, Lui G and other PinoyMTBiker baddicts...

Hey Ronald ... pls join us tonite

[gadgets88]

Just to inform you guys (who are not familiar with the flooding conditions in QC) to be careful when negotiating the roads during rainy days.

Half hour rain = floods in Espana, Maria Clara all the way to Banawe.

The best way (least flooded that I know of) used to be Laong Laan,
which is a 1-way street, which I sometimes use (going counterflow, naughty I know)
on my way to Powerplay coming from Manila.

Nowadays, I'm not sure, because there have been a lot of cementing projects after the election.

The problem with our road projects is that they are done piecemeal,
meaning, instead of paving a whole, straight street from point A to point B,
we get pavement in different points.

From point A, you still have to submerge your car to 1 foot or 2 of floodwater to get to point B using the same street.


Last time I was stranded till 3am on a badminton night.
Luckily I do have a house nearby because I used to live in QC.

The problem is... what will we do from 10pm to 3am stranded in a house with nothing but a king-sized bed (American King size), a shower area, and lots of towels?

There's no food, no ref, no nothing left.
Moved my family to Manila already.


Presently, my car isn't in good condition to tackle the flood!


Can't join you tonight, sorry guys!
Next time!
