## Strike it Rich: A Night of Bowling Bliss at The Palms Last Saturday night, The Palms Country Club in Alabang transformed into a lively bowling alley as 16 eager participants gathered for a night of friendly competition and pure fun. The air was thick with anticipation as the bowling balls made their way down the lanes, accompanied by cheers, laughter, and the occasional gasp. Max, a self-proclaimed semi-professional bowler, quickly asserted his dominance, leaving his opponents in awe of his skills. Peter, a worthy contender, started off a bit shaky but found his groove midway through, sending the bowling pins flying with impressive force. Despite Peter's valiant effort, Max ultimately emerged victorious, much to the amusement of Markus Helber, who had already prepared a celebratory bottle of wine with Max's name on it. A truly unexpected and hilarious touch! The female participants were an absolute force to be reckoned with, their enthusiasm contagious. The bowling alley ech

Samstags-Lektuere Achtung beer lovers! A new study has our favorite Swiss researchers raising their steins in a toast. It turns out, those delicious India Pale Ales (IPAs) we love might be even better than we thought! Scientists in Switzerland (naturally, the land of precision and punctuality) put a group of strapping Swiss mice to the test. These brave little rodents enjoyed a moderate amount of IPA for a month, while their buddies sipped on water or just hops. Here's the hoppy news: the IPA crew, along with the hop heads, showed no signs of DNA damage!** **That's right, their tiny Swiss bodies were happy and healthy. ** So, what does this mean for us humans? Well, while mice aren't exactly miniature versions of ourselves, this study suggests that enjoying IPAs in moderation might not be so bad after all. In fact, the researchers say the hops in IPAs might even have a protective effect! So next time you crack open a cold IPA, you can raise a glass not just to the deliciou
