Hops and Hoops
i usually don't write for lack of material. Ergo, also the reason why i always crib from someone else's ideas for time to time. lately however, it's been the opposite, as a lot of things have been going on but somehow, i can't lift my fingers to do some typing. i guess it's easier to write when you're anguished rather than happy.
yeah, yeah. pile on the excuses.
had a monster game last night at basketball, something i haven't done for a while. it helped as i was playing with old friends rene and robin, plus new officemate/blood brother rolli. makes the game much easier if your teammates knew how to catch a ball and shoot accurately. rolli is pretty great at playing point, and creating his own shots. last night was different because my shots were still wild but were falling in. anyway, we demolished a team that consisted of the best in the tuesday night lot. We even dubbed it RP vs. Chinese Taipei. How's that for a little national pride? Guess they'll think of us better next tuesday when we show up.
also, was back at the office after spending three days at brewing school, where i learned the rudiments of making beer. Imagine the experience of this humble drinker: getting to the brew mecca and learning the magic ingredients and incantations. Despite the seemingly routine 2 and 1/2 days of classroom lectures on malt, hops, yeast, and all, i managed to pick my interest up during the last hours of the program - the actuals. we participated in a taste test, got to drink freshly-brewed beer straight from the tank, and celebrated graduation drinking beer.
despite the helter-skelter, i was home by 7 pm. kinda anticlimactic, yes, but it was an experience of a lifetime that would be dampened if i stayed too long. Plus, i had a few episodes of House season 2 to finish.
now, i'm on the verge of doing a completely new one-time beer sponsored game show in the office premises for the anniversary, attending a Muziklaban finals pre-judging session, showing up for the grand finals at PICC, assisting PBA legends with a beer fiesta, and helping create an information-laden beer web site. oh yes, i get to drink every now and then too.
my life is slowly revolving around beer. The only difference now is i get paid for it.
