HP Cup: Bowling Tournament




We all know that the favorite sports of Sweets is bowling and when HP announced that they will have their yearly HP Cup, Sweets already knew which sports to join.

Last week, the HP cup was opened and yesterday was  the first and final games for bowling.  Here are his very energetic team mates! 




I'm excited for Sweets because he gets to play again! Before he had a team with Accenture and Standard Chartered and now with HP.  It's good to know that even though he transferred companies, he can still play his favorite sport with these tournaments (for free)!

Good thing, their team (males) was shortlisted to move on to the finals.  They ranked 3rd from the elimination round and only 4 teams moved on.

The final round was 2 games, he did not play in the first game but was part of the line up for the 2nd game.  He was hoping that (despite his low scores in his last game) his team captain would include him in the line up and when JC (team captain) included him, he said to me "babawi Ako!".

True enough! He did very well in that game and I also want to commend his team mates who did very good as well.  From being 4th in the first games of the Finals, they became 1st runner up (like 20+ points missing to be the champion) at end of the Finals Tally.  It was an achievement not only for Sweets but for the rest of the team because they never gave up!  Simply because they know they can!!




Another good thing to note is the continuous programs and initiatives of companies to make sure that their employees have "Work Life Balance" through these activities!  Kudos to all employers who value the passion of their people (outside of work).  With these initiatives, employees may become more engaged to work, because they look forward to these activities.
