  • Winning the 'Bowl

    Hear ye, hear ye…

     

    Guess who won this year’s Lung Month “Meeting of Wizards” Quiz Bowl?

     

    Not our team…

     

    We came in second place…Doc Imee, Doc Sat (the esteemed hospital heartthrob), Doc Rosario, Veronica (the german exchange intern) and myself (the alleged “bush-beater” ß I’ll explain later. haha).

     

    Still, it was a pretty good game…all serious questions, and some unforced errors…but mostly, all intellectual stuff. The first prize was a bag of goodies for everyone and Php 2000 gift certificates at Bethel’s Café Filomena.  Second prize was about the same, only 500 pesos less for the gift certificates.

     

    I gave mine away…since I wasn’t going to be able to take anyone out to dinner at the Café anyway anytime soon.  Besides, one certificate would be good enough for one of their famous “Large” Siopaos (plus extra, of course), and that’s good enough for me.

     

    They picked our names out from out of a hat, and between you and me, I silently pleaded the high heavens that I wanted to be a part of the “action”, which of course, got “answered” the moment my plea sentence ended with the period.

     

    It was fun, of course… maybe not as fun as the audience, but fun enough for all of us who joined. I’ve been joining quiz bowls ever since grade school (For starters, I was 3-time religion quiz bee champ when I was in Grade School at St. Paul’s…and many others later in life, but hey, who’s counting, right?)

     

    The Bottom line, I love it, because it’s a game, and it’s always fun to win any game. J
