A game of pool is one of the most fun games that one can share with a group. Here in the Philippines, people enjoy it so much that there is a billiards place in almost every nook and cranny. Pinoys love the gave and we excel in it. That is why we have world champions like Efren “Bata” Reyes and many others.
But sadly, it is one of my frustrations. I know, I can hit the ball with the stick. But I do not really know the strategies to win a game. If ever I won a game, it is more like luck than actual skill. My husband is not very good at it too, while we really would like to share a game with friends and family during get-togethers. But sadly, we are not gifted in these arena. We just envy those who do. lol
Anyway, I like those high end billiard places. Their pool cues are of good quality. But if you go to the neighborhood watering hole with a couple of billiard tables, all their equipment are so worn that if ever you get to win a game there, you are really good at any billiard table.
But whether high end or not, my talent is not with billiards. Too bad. I ain’t the usual Pinoy.
