Ping's Pigeons

Kung last week smash, smash na naman ngayon. Walang 50% ang nag clock ng Ilagan. Nag improve yung clock ng anak ng barless ko, 910.970 clock nya last week 800 plus lang. Parang repeat lang nangyari sa opal ko last week 700 lang ulit speed nya. I don't know why nung nag start derby sa poste ng meralco na sya dumadapo, kinakabahan ako kasi medyo malayo yung poste tapos malapit sa cutoff ang uwi nya so medyo delikado ma cutoff. Good luck next week my babies.

     This year i was very excited because i'm flying my off colors for the 1st time. Bayombong yung huling training pero smash sya, di nakauwi yung pure white ko, I was left with 3 warriors, isang opal, yellow and isang anak ng barless. Loading ng derby masama na kutob ko sa yellow mukang di kakayanin ang Santiago pero I loaded it anyway. Today, September 20, 2015, birds were released at 7:00 A.M., started waiting around 10:00. After one hour wala pa ko ibon, kinakabahan na ko, ano nangyari. around 11:30 i saw my 1st pigeon, yung anak ng barless ko na i clock ko ng 807.587. Tapos wala na ulit  sumunod. Ano nangyari sa opal ko, yung yellow sure ako di makakauwi pero ano nagyari sa opal.      Around 12 P.M. nanood na ko tv, ang cutoff ko 12:18, mukang wala na, nung nag commercial i looked outside, me nakita ako nakadapo sa poste, eto kaya si opal? sumipol ako, nag react sya, OMG si opal nga, na clock ko ng 12:06, 727.800 ang speed. Bakit ganun fe...

Pag nanalo ang kalapati mo usually graduate na sila sa race, ginagawa na nating breeders. I was lucky that Pacquaio not only won the championship pero nag produce din sya ng winners. Pero napansin ko di lahat ng winners producer din. In 2008 me anak si Pacquaio nestmate sila, isang cock isang hen. Yung hen nanalo 2nd Overall i named Calbayog Queen, pero yung kapatid nya nabutas ng Sorsogon. After ng race ginawa ko sila parehong breeders. Yung 2nd OA since 2008 hanggang last year wala ginawang maganda lahat ng anak while yung kapatid nya na natalo sa race ilang overall na nabigay sa loft ko. Naisipan ko what if anak ni Calbayog Queen ang gawin kong breeder, which i did, hindi nanalo sa derby yung apo nya pero nag clock ng Mcarthur race, one point. It's De635's turn naman to be a breeder. The first time i used her nawala ng Legaspi yung anak nya, pero i didn't really care much kasi sa history ng emiel ko walain talaga mga barako. Pero ginamit ko naman breeder yung ini...

When De635 laid an egg the day before the Mcarthur loading, it was a nightmare. Little did I know it would lead to a dream come true.  For so many years i wanted to snatch my second championship. Ang daming muntikan na, i almost had it with Calbayog Queen when she finished 2nd O.A. back in 2008 losing to a mere 7 points sa overall ranking. It was heartbreaking for me, 2nd overall ako nun pero instead of being happy i was very sad at that time. Siningsingan ko ng BFRC ring si Macky pero di ko sya nilaban. I had other plans for him, and it was good. Unang anak pa lang nya sakin Solo Champion agad binigay. I hope it won't be the last. Macky ha?

 Looking back i made some cool records for my self in pigeon racing, let me see: 1. I'm the first in Bulacan to have clocked 2 years in a row sa PHA McArthur race 2. I won 2 Championships both solo winners (meaning they are the only complete clocking bird in their      category) 3. I have four 12th Overall winners in my loft ha ha, suki. 4. I played for GWRPA, BFRC, SUPRA, MMFC and PHA, and i have a trophy in all five clubs 5. When De635 clocked 1st in Catbalogan, it took 1 hour bago nasundan ng 2nd bird, one hour to this day i still can't get over it 6. When De635 came home from Mcarthur, Leyte, the 1st thing i did was to take a shower and when i reached NLEX saka ko lang sya na clock ha ha, maybe i wasted around 40 minutes. 7. I wasn't really waiting for De635 to come home kasi nangitlog sya nung loading, the egg she laid nabuhay ko i named Macky, na tatay ng 1st Overall Champ ko ng BFRC. 8. Nung nag clock si Pacquaio, my 1st solo...

When in comes to breeding parang me switch na nag o-on nagiging OCD ako. Di ako mapakali, silip ako ng silip, always checking. Ang dami kong ayaw ang dami kong gusto. Ayaw ko ng barako, ayaw ko ng malaki, gusto ko hen, gusto ko maliit. Thru the years na master ko na pagpili sa hen, kailangan hen lang talaga. Napipilitan lang ako na gamitin yung cock pag naubusan na ko ng time mag breed. That's always the case every year, im actually annoyed sa practice ko pero nakadikit na sa buto ko di ko na kayang baguhin. I would buy 20 rings but i'd end up using only about 10 rings or less, tapos papamigay ko na yung iba. Ganun ako ka aksaya. Minsan nagliligid na yung young bird pero pag di ko talaga type di ko makakatulugan yun. Breeding starts again. Obsessive-compulsive disorder begins.
