    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?

    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 :)

    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? :)

    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.
