alphaquiz # 2

It was an awesome week for me this time. (Aside from the usual plenty of sleep) My quiz team won for two straight times now against the season winner on our regular trivia quiz at Luneta park every Saturday night. Though very stressful at times, since the second half of the game is Jeopardy type kind of game. In the end we successfully pulled it out. The second reason, which a little trivial, (no pun intended) is because I was finally able to finish Devil May Cry 4 action PC game. Mission 20 complete. Trivial?? I told you.
