Preliminaries Results

Our team- Eastern Data ranked at number 7 on the masters division of Ronald McDonals House Charities Badminton Tournament. We will compete with Liquigaz team at 9am tomorrow for a knockout game. Wish us luck! Have a break, have a manatee!

Elimination Round

As expected, maybe due to lack of confidence too, BDO and McNuggets beat our team. Eastern-Data, our team was an equal match with Team Genosi, this time we beat them on Women's Doubles, Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles.
Mizuno people got our sizes later in the afternoon, we will claim our free rubber shoes next week on the championship game. Players are almost the same faces as last year with only 1 or 2 new teams joined this year.

Phoemela Baranda hosted the opening ceremony. My right eye was bitten by an ant [grabe sa timing], put some ice on para lumiit ng konti.

Phoem was super sexy indeed...lalo na pag katabi ako..hehehe

here's our group picture with Phoem, McDonald's officials and Ronald himself.

More update next week on the championship game.

4th Ronald McDonald House Charities Badminton Tournament

Here's the list of the teams that will be playing this coming Saturday at the 4th Ronald McDonald Badminton Tournament. Opening ceremony will start at 8am and game proper at 9am. According to the committee, there will be a special tournament for the early losers, so there's still a chance for us on the special game ...hehehe. BDO and McNuggets are very good in this game so we're just hoping for the best. At least, there will be a free Mizuno shoes..Yehey.

Rachel turned 2

Rachel, my niece celebrated her 2nd year birthday celebration at McDonald's Fort Bonifacio last Saturday September 5. My kids enjoyed the games and I can really count on my fingers the times that they joined the games. Belated Happy Birthday Rachel, wishing you good health. Please scroll down to see the rest of the pictures....

Free Mizuno Shoes!

Bad News- there will be no free t-shirt on the invitational Badminton Tournament of McDonald's this coming Saturday September 19, 2009.
Good News - free Mizuno rubber shoes for the participants. I was not familiar with this brand because I'm not fond of branded things. But when I broke the news with the other players, they were so excited. I found out that Mizuno was famous on athletic shoes (golf, baseball/softball, volleyball and running). One pair costs P4-5 thousand pesos. Everybody agreed that we have to be there as early as 6am so we can still choose and reserve our sizes.

McDonald's Badminton Tournament

Whether I like it or not, I have to join the invitational tournament of McDonald's Badminton tournament, proceeds of which will be going to the McDonald's House of Charity. Eastern Telecommunication will have 2 teams, unluckily most of the players we have are gentlemen so I was forced (LOL) to join the team. Just like last year it will be held at Yonex Mandaluyong on September 19 & 26, 2009. Some of the advantages here are a number of local celebrities will be joining too because GMA 7 participates every year, meet and play with the Philippine Team and the food is over pouring!
