Boisterous Bowling!
What do you do on a weekend which is totally lazy and boring, no more good movies to watch, interrupting weather to make a plan (which will obviously fail) but all your friends are completely available? Go for Bowling!
Bowling is a fun place to hang out with a bunch of friends. It drains out all your laziness and gives you that game spirit. It is a physical exercise too. The bowling room was with teens, kids playing, clapping and shouting for each strike. This atmosphere makes me to play more. We decided to play a kind-of-strict game and divided our names on 2scoreboards. I searched for the lightest-weight ball. Usually noone prefers light weight (which may go with bad accuracy) unless they are slim, thin, can't-even-carry-the-next-heavy-ball types like me. I've seen kids playing it so well and easily. For me, there are many times when the ball lands up nowhere but straight into the gutter.
I enquired, learnt, practiced and implemented few bowling styles/techniques and yeah they worked! I was the first in my group. Yayy!! My previous pratice sessions dint go in vain. For each strike, we would give high-five to each other as if its a national game. I am still feeling bad for not trying Shotput back in school. I would've used the heavy ball and made a better score :P
The fun part was seeing a guy (25+ for sure) who was bowling with left hand, running little steps (like long steps in cricket), was almost falling on his face everytime he tried to bowl. How can a guy be so bad at bowling? *wondering*
This is our alley
Wohooo! See my score here.. *dancing*

MIA (Me In Action)
Anxiously waiting to see if my bowl strikes atleast one pin.
Yup, I'm still a kid inside. On a different note, I love bikes in US. They are heavy, huge and manly (can I say?). I wish to go for a ride and asked one of my colleagues, who is almost 50 (looks like), has a big bike and has Roadie kind of attitude. Hope he gives me a ride sometime soon. If not, I will ask someone to rent a bike and will go :P
Do you believe if I say, I'm deeply in love with my new shoes? My current obsession - Macys.
Last but not the least, nothing fun without food and drinks!
*slurp slurp* My love for Jalapenos can never die.

@TheBluntBlogger, Oops, I think I misguided you! MIA means Missing In Action and I casually used it as something else :)
