Water Bomb Party 2006

The barkada gimmick that became a tradition, but this year we gave it a twist. We included some games played on the street like Dr. Quack quack, Tamaang bata (dodge ball), Pepsi-7 Up-Coca Cola-Stop, and of course the finale, water gun....


two teams only for this year, meet the RED team


then the Green team


Dr. Quack quack




Pepsi, 7 Up, Coca Cola....STOP!




What a fashionable way to stop!


Green team wins most of the street games, now they're ready for the firing...start of the water bomb ....


the Red team receiving the showers


then RIOT!


Jelo and Mae playing Goliath and David


the trigger happy Tetet


Pogs is still dry that's why they have their own game


we had pandesal and coffee before this group picture
