Finally I Got to Visit Amoranto!


What could be better than waking up early on a lazy Saturday morning, meet with your buddies and play table tennis in Amoranto QC?! I've been in Amoranto several times and my last visit was maybe a year ago. It was all better and wider now with lots of new tables and of course great players to play with.


I've been here several times. Amoranto has always been an Icon, a common place you would hear from newbies and professionals. Ting Ledesma and Ms.Jojo plays here regularly. Too bad I did not get any chance to meet them. But I did found some of the regulars like the dashing debonair Coach Marquez with his trainee in action. I had a few chats with other fellow players and as usual I was so hooked in playing I forgot to take more photos and take down notes. Now I'm having a hard time recalling everyone of them.

The Amoranto Legends
My good friend and a potential table tennis racket collector (has more than 6 dream racket setup, Sardius-Tenergy-Tenegy, TimobollALC-tenergy-tenergy to name a few and is still growing) Eric Concenpcion had with him Mr. Andrew Anderson (USATTA from the top 2300) a visitor professional player from the US. He's been to Rizal and was able to play with our very own Ting Ledesma. But, as he said "they took me to school but that won't stop me to get more ass-whopping here!" Such a great guy. He also said and let me quote, "it's not about winning really and not even the sport or place you play but the people you meet. It's 80% about friendship. Back home my table tennis buddies are my second family!"

Will definitely be back in Amoranto. Hopefully to meet more players. I got a response in Facebook telling me that the "young-once" are playing in the afternoon and I just met the young ones who commonly trains in the morning.

 If you want to play at Amoranto Table Tennis Club here's the address: Amoranto Sports Complex, A. Roces Avenue, Quezon City. You can also check out some of these link as you reference http://www.tatapx.org/clubs/amoranto-table-tennis-club/

Smash Power Pampanga

If you like eating that much there is no other place in the country that is best to visit than Pampanga. Kapampangans are well known for their culinary skills. That is why it is the "Center for Culinary Arts." Yes, Sisig was born here! Anyway, I'm not here to make you hungry but to make you want to get your table tennis racket and swing it away. I happen to visit one of the largest fitness center in San Fernando Pampanga - SMASH POWER. And yes it is a haven for Badminton players because it is primarily a badminton house not until last year that they invested on Tables Tennis Equipments. And not just tables - Butterfly Table Tennis Tables! 4 Tables protected by plactic to prevent dust. These 25k peso babies are really well taken care of. Refreshments and some snacks Well, I only saw a few butterfly balls on sale but Badminton enthusiasts would be happy to see the displays And these too! Or Table Tennis might not be

Olongapo City Pongers

February 16, 2012 Who said only La Union has both bowling lanes and table tennis playing area? Crystal Lanes in Olongapo houses probably most of Gapo’s best table tennis players.  It is in here I have found friends and several other players who spent liters of sweat to train and meet other players. Emer their in-house Coach/Trainor told me that they are housing strong players here and strong drinkers alike. While I was bursting in laughter I felt how deep friendship was with these enthusiasts and athletes.  It is in this place I saw bi-talented individuals (playing table tennis and bowling at the same time).  The place comes alive right after school or office hours. Players from different schools and industries come here to either release stress or develop their talents.  Though the place can get a bit crowded when there are bowling players and visitors but no one can stop you from enjoying the sport you have always loved. Anyway be it a small place or not, a tabl
