@ching
may 15th is a sunday and 16th is a monday, maganda may 15 (sunday) nalang para di naman kami kawawa sa traffic

Ayos to men laro uli ako!

Wow! Again, I am 75% sure I'll play. Hoping more of my team mates will join again.

i agree with vanquish here; malayo pa kasi panggagalingan ko (and maybe other Southern people) so i think this would be the best date...

opps mali lang ng date. Adjusted it

Actually i was trying to plan a swimming party-tournament. I have a place in mind na within QC-Commonwealth area but when i tried to make reservations only available dates and times are:

May 1 2011 - 3:30PM to 10:30PM (Sun-pampadestress from legacy)
May 14 2011 - 3:330PM to 10:30PM (Sat)
May 14 2011 - 11PM to 6AM (Sat)
May 15 2011 - 8AM to 3PM (sun)

Mahirap lang sa ganito ay kailangan ko ng commitment ng mga players (which i don't want to ask talaga). Possible entrance fee is P450.00

Otherwise its going to be May 8 2011 (sunday)

Ching, sayang. Di kasi pwede pag-sabado e.

Susuotin ko pa naman sana speedos ko.

sausage party!

if its a swimming party, i vote for May 1.

before i was planning this kind of event but didn't materialize...

second sunday or third sunday ng May is Mother's Day diba? baka may family affairs mga players.
