I have been mentioning some trivia about Badminton in the previous chapter monthly reports and now since we hailed as one of the Champion in Billiards (8ball) (and we still got the first place guys in Badminton too!), I would like to share some trivia about…Billiards Trivia: Billiard is also called Cue sports; it’s a game with various styles, although you have to hit the balls using a stick, all cue sports are generally regarded to have evolved into indoor games from outdoor stick-and-ball lawn games (retroactively termed ground billiards), and as such to be related to the historical games jeu de mail and palle-malle, and modern trucco, croquet and golf, and more distantly to the stickless bocce and bowls. The word "billiard" may have evolved from the French word billart or billette, meaning "stick", in reference to the mace, an implement similar to a golf club, which was the forerunner to the modern cue; the term's origin may have also been from French bille, meaning "ball".The modern term "cue sports" can be used to encompass the ancestral mace games, and even the modern cueless variants, such as finger billiards, for historical reasons. "Cue" itself came from queue, the French word for a tail. This refers to the early practice of using the tail of the mace to strike the ball when it lay against a rail cushion .

It’s more interesting to see this attendance sheet signed by some inactive and semi-active members who joined, participated and supported the said activity. I just hope to see them more often and be active also in attending the GMM and incoming projects that the chapter will be doing for the next succeeding months.
Guess what?, for the first time, our basketball team scored higher that our opponent hurray!!...it was a very exciting game that led to overtime. Apparently we didn’t win that game but we enjoyed the game a lot as if we are the champion!! .

Playing badminton gets even more exciting when played with friends. The chapter member badminton players invited colleagues and friends to join them in one badminton day practice at JCAS Sports Center. They just love the sport and the camaraderie and warm welcome from the Del Pilar architects.
TRIVIA: Camaraderie is a noun which means mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.
“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own
worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.”

Peeking a while after their Badminton practice and before our Council of Advisers meeting to start. These are the advisers, our mentors. Young at hearts, healthy, full of aspiration…and perspiration wonder how they managed to stand still after that very tiring game. That’s the benefit of sports, it gave you enough strength and stamina. Really there is no old age in sports.

Leandro Dave,fuap when the core group was still under the mother chapter. It’s already more than 10 years now since we started, but we will continue this journey until it is 100% realization and full implementation within the province.

30 years has passed and the Bulacan Chapter continue to grow as another batch of new architects joined the membership for our mother chapter. As I look back, it was still my third year in college when I first heard of the Chapter through our professor and one of my mentors, Ar. Osie Alfonso. As her student apprentice, she sometimes tagged me along to assist some UAP activities, local and national. It unlocked my eyes about how the organization conducted / doing various activities aside from just being an architect. I started to realize the meaning of service, passion, dedication, hard work and most of all leadership. All of those and also to includes camaraderie, prestige, ethics, nobility, professionalism etc.
I was molded from then on, to be on the line for leadership and to be one of its Chapter President one day…until there’s a different path. But nonetheless, UAP is a one big family, united in one common goal. The bond and friendship and all shall continue to prosper, with its old and new members, for greatness and excellence.
