Ping's Pigeons

     I celebrated my birthday last September 11, it was a friday. The next morning my uncle, who was working on my car for the past three weeks called and told me that i only needed to replace the thermostat and its good to go. So excitedly i went to the shop to get the sample. While i was there i dropped my phone and the glass broke. I think that signaled the string of bad luck that will happen to me the whole day. So without a working phone i went to Banaue to buy the parts i needed. My mom told me buy na lang the next day it's Saturday baka ma traffic ka lang, ayun na nga, ginabi na ko sa NLEX sobrang traffic bumagsak pa ke lakas lakas na ulan. Gabi na ko nakauwi di ako nakarating ng Banaue. Sabi ko takbo ako sa SM papagawa ko phone ko mag momotor na lang kako ako, when i went to get my motorbike, flat!!! Is this really happening? Nag commute na lang ako papunta, when i got there inikot ko yung mall, i got the same answer, they can't fix it wala silang parts. So i decided

     Kung naging babae ka naiba kaya lipad mo? I flew off colors this season but only one survived, him. I wrote about him in my past blog entry, He clocked Santiago and Ilagan of BFRC then came home the following day from Tuguegarao. And since nagbutas na sya i flew him sa GWRPA na nag start naman ang old bird category the following week sa Tuguegarao ulit, clock sya. Typhoon Lando came na cancel lahat ng race which is supposed to be Aparri lap. Sta Ana lap was a disaster ubos ang kalapati, three of my live warriors failed to come home, I waited till Monday pero wala talaga. Out of the three I was expecting my opal na makakauwi kasi nakaranas na sya umuwi ng kinabukasan, usually pag naka experience ang kalapati ng ganun mas me tendency talaga makauwi. When i came home from the office Tuesday gabi na, when i opened my loft tumatakbo opal ko sakin gutom na gutom. Ahhh he made it home. Wow opal ko Sta. Ana finisher, di naman mataas expectations ko sa mga off colors ko. Next time i'

Last Sunday was very humbling, it took one smash for me to get down to just one live bird, sa GWRPA walang nakauwi sa tatlong live ko.  Almost 8 a.m. na na release sa Sta. Ana kaya given na magkakaubusan talaga. Last week maganda pa result ko nag 12th pa sa Ilagan lap yung yb ko (shown on pic) sa MMFC, but she failed to clock last Sunday sa Tuguegarao. Since i hate flying birds na me butas na sa race im going to race her sa BFRC invitational race sa Sta. Ana on Sunday, and if she comes home sa Babuyan invitational ng GWRPA the following week. Now my only live bird sa MMFC please be like your sister and win this race, please....

Tapos ang career ko sa BFRC North Race, di na nakauwi yung anak ng barless sa Gataran. Walang nagyari sa lipad ng mga off-colors ko, pero me konti pag asa pa kasi start naman ng old bird sa GWRPA sa Tuguegarao nag clock naman yung opal. Me off color category pero di ko na isali yung tatlo ko kailangan daw i load ng Ilagan which i find weird, ginawang training yung Ilagan, ha ha. So last week sa 1st lap ng MMFC i placed 18th out of 2,474 young birds sa Cauayan lap. This week live bird pa rin yung dalawa ko sa MMFC, dinonate ko yung na cutoff sa auction, plus hate ko maglaban ng me butas na so no love lost there. Sa GWRPA halos sunod sunod dumating yung dalawang young bird saka yung oldbird ko. Everytime i would clocked i kept receiving the same message na unregistered yung number ko. Glad i checked kasi sa ibang number pala ako nag se send kaya medyo nabawasan ang speed ng ibon pero ok lang importante live pa rin.

Ang hirap maglagare sa tatlong club, lagare sa clocking, i flew 2 young birds sa GWRPA, 3 young birds sa MMFC, and 2 youngs birds sa BFRC. First lap ng GWRPA sa Ilagan i was lucky to clock both, ang MMFC sa Cauayan 2 out of 3, while sa BFRC 1 out of 2. Yung dalawang di ko na clock parehong barako, Mabigat talaga pauwi ko pag barako gamit ko he he.
