The bowling experience

Just a week ago, somebody from the company told me and my team that there will be a bowling tournament for us.
I don't know but there was so much excitement in me...I immediately voluntered for myself and said YES!
By asking co-workers very near to me at the time, we were able to form a group and now we represented and played for..."News Production!"
Actually, I didn't feel any tension or even bothered about it. Maybe because all I am thinking before I joined the team is that it's just a play for fun.
I think I was lucky enough to be a part of a beautiful strong team with Nicolette Henson, Jayvie Dizon, Krizia Catapang, Joey Baluyot and Red.
We were given a 15minute or less warm up before we play...then after that here comes the first round, the actual game.

DIFFICULTIES

Honestly speaking, I couldn't remember the last time I played bowling.
I couldn't recall how heavy the bowling pin was, and how hard it is to insert fingers dedicated to hold it.
It was actually a total disaster for me to commit playing for the team, where in fact I really didn't prepare for it. What I had at the time was the strength coming from inside of me.
I think that's the downside of it, it's a must to practice before entering a game especially that it was a game designed to compete.

ACTUAL GAME

Most of us are actually giving our hundred percent...despite some gutter experienced that took placed most of the times.

Every teams has stored energy that I believed they've released that time.
We were all full of energy, rejoicing and sometimes also understanding and even complimenting each other's "gutter," experiences.
It was so frustrating throwing a bowling pin and goes straight to a gutter.
And it was even doubled when you see that there was no score that reflects on the screen.
But believe it or not it was one great feeling to striked twice!
It makes me forget about the frustration I got from not hitting all the bowling pins.
On the first round, you will still feel that it was just a game...but competition stretches during the second round.
At times, I would wish that I was on the other team...striking most of the times.
But I have faith on my team. I couldn't believe it each of every striked my team made, just made me so proud about all of us.
Finally, the moment that we've all been waiting for...the announcement of the latest summary of score tallies.
There was so much announcement I think I was getting at the time, to the point that I couldn't even pay attention to other teams leading at the time.
The only concern I had in mind was if my team got in...but surprisingly we made it to the fifth spot.
It goes without saying that...we will still compete next Monday!
Thank God for this wonderful achievement.
Thank you also for our human resource team who made it possible.
It was such a very beautiful experience!
