I think it was in 2005 that my good friend, Arvin Arceo, invited the officers and pool players of the Makati Square Billiards Association (MSBA) to Stiradors' First 9-Ball Pocket Billiards tournament at Efren's Magic, Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati City. Me and my daughter - My Closeness (Agi) - placed 6th out of 50++ participants! It was a grueling event! I played from 1:00 PM till midnight against some of the Metro's best players! And guess what? It was all worth it! And I kid you not!
And here's a holiday present to all members of Stiradors - a picture essay on the historic 9-ball competition! Much thanks to my kababayan, Blowfish, for the pics!
Everyone had a good time at the 9-ball competition. I arrived at Efren's Magic before lunch with My Closeness. There were a couple of guys already there practicing and waiting for the early birds. Guess who was there first? ^_^
Parking is no problem at Efren's Magic. The place has a huge parking lot complete with security. Food? No worries! The billiard hall has a Starbucks coffee shop and Magoo's Pizza restaurant.

The holy grail of the First Stiradors 9-Ball Cup
Stiradors President Arvin Arceo presents Rubilen Amit her trophy and cash prize. If my memory serves me right, the cash prize was Php10,000. It also included a brand new set of magnesium alloy wheels from Silverwind!
