B-I-N-G-O!!!


This was my first bingo social, and I just had to document the event! The activity was sponsored by the IRRI Filipino Scientists' Association, and was expected to last til about 9pm because there were about eight games. Unfortunately, I couldn't hang around for the duration of the event because I was also going over to Luke's second birthday party over at Tita Mely's house. Staff and students from the GQNPC lab were there to play too to try their luck with the bingo cards.



First off, I claimed the bingo cards from the IFSA people manning the ticket booths. People getting bingo cards were in long queues when I got there... hence the tension inside contrasted from the relaxed atmosphere by the players' tables. I got one ticket, which entitled me to two bingo cards. The frazzled coordinator mistakenly gave me three bingo cards instead of only two, all blue. After everyone has taken his seat and the tambiolo was inspected, the event officially began.

I had no idea that playing bingo was such an entertaining activity! No wonder people get addicted to playing the game. A big chunk of the entertainment factor rests upon the way the drawn letter-number combination is announced... The announcers, Sylvia Avance and Mon Oliveros, were very effective in announcing the winning combinations.


I was managing three bingo cards, and had trouble in looking at all of them, but the others were looking at six cards, or thereabouts! None of us won though... I left my cards with my office mates who were still playing, since I had to take off earlier than everyone else. Kuya Jun didn't have a chance to win from one of his cards because it was defective.

After this activity, I think I've had enough indoor activities... it's time to move outdoors: Dampalit Falls, here we come!
