:p
Let's just hope Jerome, who posted this las May 9, 2005, reads this.

[88raymond]

hehe... 2005! :) flick was then in a different location.

it's just to spur interest for those who might be around the area to try the place out.

nice to hear from you, venkatesh!

[88raymond]

just played in flick from 5:30pm straight to 12:00midnight. paid only 80 for the play-all-you-can games, and 150 for the all-you-can-eat, end-of-year party. just got home, while they're still partying, hehe.

will be back there on saturday (jan 3), from 6pm up. inviting others who are interested to join the saturday games...

[mrpao]

anyone who'll play in flick today? hit me up! :D

[88raymond]

play-all-you-can ngayon. too bad i can't join, have a meeting.

[mrpao]

[88raymond]

previously meron, but not sure now.

yung queueing namin on mondays (and fridays) is at olivarez 10-courts. look for the group of rachel/joey/oca/raymond. umaabot kami ng 3 courts (courts 3,4 and 5). ready mo na php120 for the games plus a red aero shuttlecock (or equivalent). games start at 7pm. at least 4 games ka na niyan, and if you're still okay, puwede up to 10:30pm, hehe...

have fun.

[mhitch0210]

[88raymond]

hi mhitch0210. do you regularly play at flick? anong level ka doon?

i'm not aware of an imminent tournament, but will give you a heads up in this thread if ever there is one. sometimes there's a prize money, sometimes there isn't.

stressful masyado ang tournament, hehe... i'd rather join in the play-all-you-can days. mas masaya :)

[mhitch0210]

[88raymond]

you've got a lot of haha's there... i think you've flipped. ;)

yes, it's near the lycee regis d marie school.

membership? there's none. but i guess they can make an exception in your case, hehe....

do you have a level anywhere then? baka katulad mo akong baguhan :) i wouldn't have any compunction playing with anyone above or below my level.

call the flick court number i gave and ask for more details. see for yourself if you'll enjoy the saturday, whole-day play-all-you-can schedule. i'll be there from 4pm up :D look for one of the two left-and right-handed persons who regularly play there, that would be me.

[venkatesh]

[mhitch0210]

[venkatesh]

I'm gonna play tomorrow. Queueing starts at 7 pm. It costs 150, shuttle inclusive. If you play on Sat, be sure to bring shuttle. Play-all-you-can costs 80 pesos, but you're required to have your own shuttle.

[chelle_08]

is there anyone here playing on m0nday queing?

[chelle_08]

hi venkatesh! Do u also play every m0nday on queing?

[venkatesh]

hi venkatesh! Do u also play every m0nday on queing?

Not aware of Monday queuing in flick. Sorry. I don't play on Mondays. But there's queuing headed by 88raymond et al. in Olivarez on that day. However, I was told that the players there prefer intermediate to advanced player.

[88raymond]

yes! i can play tomorrow (no meeting). see you, venkatesh.

mrpao, maybe you can join tomorrow's queueing games?

mhitch0210, i wouldn't know what i'll wear on saturday :), i gather the description on how weird i play would be enough to identify me ;). look around for the group of players who are at least twice (to thrice) your age, i am in that group :D

chelle_08, there's currently no monday queueing in flick. saturday ka na rin maglaro, if you can't join tomorrow. there you'll be able to meet players you can feel comfortable to play with, and probably set up playdates with them.

[venkatesh]

[chelle_08]

[venkatesh]

chelle_08, there are other queueing skeds.

88raymond organizes a queueing in Olivarez School every Mon and Fri, 7 pm onwards, in the 10-court building (Tara 10).

There's also queueing in the same location every Tues and Thurs, 7 pm onwards, headed by Sir Ron/Sheila.

And if I'm not mistaken, there's also a morning group in Flick every Tues and Thurs, 7:30 am to 2:00 pm, headed by Yet.

[mrpao]

[chelle_08]

The Thursday group in Flick is open for beginners. It's headed by Dennis.

The same with the Tues and Thurs group in Olivarez. It's headed by Ron , Sheila, and Mau. They're very friendly.

I'm just not sure with the Olivarez Monday and Friday group. I've only played with them once.

MrPao, nice game. It was fun playing with you. I hope you play again on Sat.

I'll be at Flick on Sat at around 7 or 8 pm onward.

88raymond, I'll send you the link of the doubles rotation I'm talking about. I'll PM you as soon as I find it. Nice game. :)

[88raymond]

yeah, nice game! sorry i was too slow in our game... too tired (with matching cramps :crying:). i think i played eleven games, 6 of which were 3 sets. i started at 6pm, and we finished before twelve. :eek:

[88raymond]

MrPao, nice game. It was fun playing with you. I hope you play again on Sat.

mrpao, it's good to meet and play with you.

sorry about our last game with ota and fhen, suffered a sprained ankle and got the wind knocked out of me. :crying:

hope to see you on saturday (7pm up) para sa play-all-you-can. :D

[mhitch0210]

chelle_08, there are actually two groups in Olivarez: the goup in Tara 10 and the group in Tara 5.

In Tara 10, most of the players are guys and matured. Sheila is the only girl there.

In Tara 5, which is headed by Bev, the level of game of the players are varied.

Sige lang tol. I'll be playing tonight at Tara 5, Olivarez, Parañaque. The game starts at around 7 pm. Just look for Bevs.

Hey, just a heads up in case the moderators read or delete this post. There's a rule here that the language should be in English. I'm not sure, but since this is a thread under "Philippines," I guess it's okay. :D

[jippy]

i'll be there next week. i'm looking forward playing with you guys.:)

[venkatesh]

i'll be there next week. i'm looking forward playing with you guys.:)

just wanna ask if you have the contact number of the trainor? i wanna join you but am only free on monday or tuesday... too bad...:D thanks!

at last my problem has been solved... i'm going to start my training on friday...:D:D:D

[mhitch0210]

TOO BAD,, icant play on flicks in this coming saturday..... walang kcng mgbabantay sa bagay eh.... bkt pa kc aalis ung pinsan ko eh........:crying::crying::crying:

[venkatesh]

enjoy your training mhitch. i'm sure you'll start with footwork drills. be sure to do stretching first. bring towels and lots of water. have i mentioned that i also had training with romeo?

[mhitch0210]

yah thnx for giving some tips... you havent told me yet.... my trainor was not sr romeo... my trainor is coach manny.... yah thnx..

[venkatesh]

oh. he's got a different style of teaching. not as active on court and as involved on tournaments as the young romeo, but you'll get some pretty good tips from him. coach manny is a good player for his age.

[mhitch0210]

ah... but coach romeo is so busy for teaching some students that will join in the NCR...

[venkatesh]

ah... but coach romeo is so busy teaching some students who will join in the NCR...

coach manny will do good. he's got a good basic foundation. remember that the basics are the most important thing to learn in badminton. without it, you'll never be able to progress to doing advanced shots.

[mhitch0210]

yah i know that,, thnx again for the tips....:)

[mrpao]

hey I'm going this saturday at flick. what time again?

[mhitch0210]

sigh,,,, 1st day of training is so tired.......... first to train is my footwork,,, hahaha,,, 30 mins of jogging around the court... hahahha.,...

[venkatesh]

hey I'm going this saturday at flick. what time again?
I'll be there at around 7:30 pm. But Raymond arrives earlier ... around 4-ish. See you there.

[venkatesh]

sigh,,,, 1st day of training is so tired.......... first to train is my footwork,,, hahaha,,, 30 mins of jogging around the court... hahahha.,...

That's how it goes mhitch. Next you'll be doing drills, picking up shuttles and transferring it to the other side. Sooner or later, you'll just realize that you're already competing in tournaments. Good job. I hope we get to play some time. :)

[mhitch0210]

That's how it goes mhitch. Next you'll be doing drills, picking up shuttles and transferring it to the other side. :)

i did it already.... that kind of training is very hard to move my feet and my legs faster... my legs hurts....

[jaymz]

Hi everyone!

I played few times at flick around last quarter of 2007. I even underwent training with coach manny for two sessions only (had to cut it short because of job schedule). I played badminton last feb 2008 and I'm aching to play again. I can classify my skill level somewhere in between novice and intermediate and I hope I can improve. Are you guys still playing at flick? Am hoping to play again and join a group.

Yes. The sched there has been changed (at least for our group). We play there during Mon and Wed, 7 pm. mrpao and 88raymond are already regular members. Look for Romeo, the que master. :)

Is the play-all-you-can still available on Saturdays and Sundays? Is it ok to join your queing knowing that I may not be good enough for most of the players? Can I readily find players near my level of play? (Nakakahiya din kasi minsan kapag ako yung pinakamahina.)

Anyway, I hope one of these weekends I can go back to flick. It's just along the way from my office.

Yes. The "play all you can" during Sat and Sun is still available. However, you should be in a group because there's no que master during these days. There are beginners in the Mon and Wed queueing. In fact, they're already regulars and have recently joined a tournament to represent our club. Eventually, they'll get better as long as they continue playing with the group.

Gear up and join us. :)

[jaymz]

Hi there again.

I just want to confirm if there's still any queing on Friday at Olivarez. Can I know the details? I'm willing to play there instead because it's the last day of work every week and I can afford to stay late at night.

I played there last Friday with my new officemates from SPi at around 6PM to 7PM. If anybody was there at that time, we were the group playing with 3 Americans. All of my officemates are casual/recreational players and apparently, I'm the only one who knows the rules and can hit the shuttle decently. Also, they only play for less than 2 hours and I felt like I'm just getting started. :(

You must have mistaken Flick badminton court from Olivarez.

I think there's no queuing in Flick during Fridays. But you can ask 88raymond to include you on their Friday group at Olivarez. They play in the 10-court building.

No, I really mean Olivarez. Like I said, I played there last Friday with our American trainers at our company. I read before here that there's a queing in Olivarez every Friday and I want to join that since I can only play on weekends.

When you say 10-court badminton building, are you referring to another building in Olivarez? Is there more than 1 badminton building in Olivarez? Please clarify. Thanks. Looking forward to play there, even starting tomorrow.

There are two badminton buildings in Olivarez. The 10-court building (also known as "tara 10") is bigger. Tara 5 is adjacent to the tennis courts.

There is no "official queuing" in Olivarez during Friday. However, you can join Raymond's group and they'll officiate your games. Raymond's the tall guy who's ambidextrous, but he's mostly left-handed. Just look for him and he'll take care of you. I'll text him so that he'll know you'll come. :)

Are these trainers the petite female foreigners I see in the canteen?

[jaymz]

You got mail, ventakesh. :)

Will there be a queing by raymond tomorrow at Olivarez?

[venkatesh]

You got mail, ventakesh. :)

Will there be a queing by raymond tomorrow at Olivarez?


I've texted raymond but he hasn't answered me back yet.
I think there is. Just in case, just look for the tall ambidextrous guy. Enjoy :)

[jaymz]

I just played at Flick at yesterday's queuing. First time to play in a queing actually. I got to play 5 games, went home a bit tired and got sore thighs the morning after. :D
In short, I enjoy it. Thanks venkatesh. :) Will play there again.

Glad to know you enjoyed it. It's natural to have body aches. The best remedy for that is to continue playing. So we'll see you tomorrow, right? :)

[chelle_08]

where are you going to play tom? at flick or olivarez? is there also a beginner playing in wed queuing at flick?

[venkatesh]

Yup. There are beginners there. :)

We'll play at Flick again. Hope we see you there :)

[chelle_08]

We'll play at Flick again. Hope we see you there :)


ok, thanks.. i'll try to play tom.. c u there!:cool:

[kakashi_01]

what time are you playing guys? can i join you? how much is the fee again?

[jaymz]

Glad to know you enjoyed it. It's natural to have body aches. The best remedy for that is to continue playing. So we'll see you tomorrow, right? :)
Yes, I'm used to the soreness. Too bad I can't play tonight, on next Monday perhaps. I'll just drop by at Flick to see you guys in action.

Feel free to join, kakashi and chelle. They (or We :D) start playing between 6-7PM. Queing starts at 6PM, correct me if I'm wrong, venkatesh. Queing fee is P120.

I've played at Flick queuing last Wednesday. That was also my first time to play there. I was able to play 6 or 7 games. I really enjoyed it. Nice to meet you venkatesh. Hope to see you jaymz and kakashi soon. Next Wednesday I might play again.:)

Nice to hear that you enjoy your first queuing. :)

Our overtime for last Thursday was canceled a day before. I could have stayed late and played longer only if I played last Wednesday. Too bad my baby (his real name is Jaymz:cool:, btw) was sick and I had to go home earlier.

Anyway, I'll play either Mon or Wed queuing next week. See you there. :)

I'm glad you both enjoyed it. :)
Hopefully, once you get pumped up and become certified baddicts, you'd be able to join tournaments also. Just keep on playing :)

Flick used to be near Kabihasnan... 3 years ago.;) It is now located along Sucat Road, between Lopez and Valley 2, in front of Regis Marie College. I'm not sure if they conduct summer clinic there but AFAIK, there are readily available trainers there.

[88raymond]

coach manny at flick can teach the basics. when you've progressed, you can be under coach romeo. call flick at 8298148/4928867 (forgot which one's active).

venkatesh, hope i can play tomorrow. dami ko nang nakakain sa highlands, with no exercise... hehe...

Hopefully, when we visit there, marami ka ring ipapakain sa amin. :p Nakakapanibago nga, isa na lang ang ambidextrous sa club. :D

You weren't able to play with chelle.

I haven't been seeing mrpao. Hmmm. I wonder what happened to him.

[em_blanco]

3 years ago? gish... thanks for the info... i will be dropping by one of these days.

[jaymz]

I had 2 sessions with coach manny way back 2007 (cut short because of work). He charged me per session, not per hour. The length of the session depends on your stamina and/or learning capacity.

Sigh! I have to wait for payday to be able to play at Flick again.:( I haven't played again since last week's Monday.

I'll see you guys next week. :)

[em_blanco]

how much usually is the fee per session for the basics? I am excited to learn and to see you all play...

[jaymz]

I was charged P150 per session, but that was almost 2 years ago. Rates can go up. Just call the number raymond posted or better yet, just visit Flick.

[em_blanco]

Danke! Übersehen Sie alle sobald.

[jaymz]

I'll play there tomorrow (Wed). Who'll be there?

[venkatesh]

I'll play there tomorrow (Wed). Who'll be there?
The same people, I guess. See you :).

I learned that in other places, que masters have an idea of the skill level, though may not be exact, of those participating in the queuing. Upon registering, a newcomer will have to tell the que master what is the player's skill level, whether class ABCDE or Beginner/Intermediate/Advance etc. I think this is for matching up purposes.

On my first time at Flick, I did not notice anything like this. Do they have this in Flick? Do they expect any newcomer to be anywhere in the beginner-intermediate range or the que master simply match up all players randomly, without consideration to the skill level of players?

I can't speak for the que master. But if you're going to look at the popsicle sticks where our names are written, on the right side, our levels are displayed (at least for my stick). I'm not sure how the que master mixes and matches the players, but I think he definitely considers the level of play. Since you're a first timer in the group, maybe he'd likely test your skill level first by setting you up with beginners to intermediate players. Sometimes, the que master partners beginners with advanced players. And sometimes, he sets up intermediate pairs with advanced opponents. (I think this is his way of helping players to develop their skills.)

You can actually request for a hard game. I, on the other hand, just go with the flow. At least that helps me practice adjusting to different kinds of players. I have yet to complain to the que master. The match I usually get is a combination of light and hard ones.

[88raymond]

i have no complaints with the flick queue master. every game is a hard game (kahit mixed doubles) :)

have board meeting tom. i'll miss the queueing this time. see you next week!

The intensity of mixed doubles is totally different from men's doubles. I apply more placement in mixed. I have to figure out a way for my lady partner to get involved, to be able to kill the rally. I also have to work on my girl partner's skill assets ... e.g., if she's good at the net, I have to force the play for her to go front; if she's good at the midcourt, I need to cover everything she couldn't. In men's, I leave everything I couldn't reach.

Too bad we'll not be able to play tomorrow. It's not the same with one less badminton addict on court.

I agree with you regarding the matching up for a beginner/newcomer. That's what I noticed in the five games I played the last time. I can say that there were games that were close, like pairs were evenly matched up. There was a game that I was not playing well, committed lots of unforced errors and our opponent were very good (one of which is sir eric:cool:) Our pair was clobbered :D:D but I'm not complaining at all as I'm aware that's one way for me to improve. I have nothing against playing with/against someone who's a lot better than me.

Does the queue master prioritize MD or WD over XD?

Not really. I guess it depends on the availability of the players. Like if there are only 2 guys available for a game, then the que master must pull out ladies to pair for each of the guys. :)

I wasn't able to join because I had stuff to do that day. But I really wanted to go because the owner held his brithday party that day (at least from what I heard).

Too bad you didn't win. You'll get the medal next time ;).
