My brother, Pleni (his girlfriend), and I will be attending our friend’s wedding in Samal, Davao, a beautiful island in the Philippines, this July 18. At the same time, my friend Mark and I will be enrolling in Kendo on July 5.

I have been dreaming of going to Davao with friends, and enrolling in Kendo with someone like Mark… But with all the expenses in just one month, making those dreams come true will require thorough budgeting and planning. Then again, if there’s a will, there’s a way…

Oh, and I’m also expecting a huge chunk of cash from someone who borrowed from me last February. If it will materialize this July, then I’m all set for Davao and Kendo! ^_^

  Whether you’re old or young, golf is still one of the best sports to get involved with. You can always play this sport with your friends or with your colleagues. Some even play golf with their potential clients! This is a good way to socialize, while under the sunshine.
  There are a lot of golf bags in the market nowadays. Please consider your caddies—if you have any, in buying these bags ‘cause they’ll be the ones carrying your gear as long as you’re in the golf course and playing golf. There are also electric caddies in the market, so check these out if you’re interested!

   Last summer, we went to Baguio and went to Wright Park. My sisters and I rode the horses like crazy! Actually, we got tired after twenty minutes of bouncing but we still rode and had fun. Well, you don’t really get to visit Baguio City everyday, do you? Haha.

  Safety tip for the day: When horseback riding, remember to check if the saddles are actually locked tight and safe ‘cause you might end up in an accident that’s uncalled for. That wouldn’t be nice to see.

  So always remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones too!

I conquered Kneeboarding on my first attempt last March 21! ^_^ Amazing.

My cousins and I for the first time, went on a long trip to the watersports complex in my dad’s province without “adults” (defined as aunts, uncles, and parents in this context) to try out wakeboarding. For beginners and first-timers like me, it is advised that you start first with knee boarding. Most of us, my brother included, conquered kneeboarding in our first attempt.

After getting the hang of it, Mary (one of my cousins) and I decided to try double skis, while some of my cousins tried wake boarding. They were unsuccessful attempts, but nonetheless exhilarating. It was worth splashing and tumbling down to the water.

We also found out after three hours of knee boarding and attempting other water sports that we ought to do some strength training before going for a half-day rate at the watersports complex. Our arms and shoulders were hurting and we weren’t even halfway our half-day rate. The cashier did warn us to purchase only the hourly-rate…

Anyhow, it was so much fun that we’re thinking of getting a strength equipment to keep us in shape for the next trip where we try to conquer the world of wakeboarding, slalom, and double skis. ^_^

Uncle Robert visited us after not seeing him for a couple of years. What caught my attention was his Technomarine watch. Curious, I bombarded him with questions about his watch.

I learned that Uncle Robert is a diver and a triathlete. FYI, a triathlete is a person who joins an athletic event consisting of swimming, cycling and running over various distances. In the performance of his sea duty and whenever he joins a triathlon, my uncle needs this quality watch.

My friend Marie has recently joined the worldwide voice for American climbers, the American Alpine Club. The club will soon have a major event and for this reason, Marie is now looking for a Colorado bed and breakfast, a place to stay with her loved ones. This type of accommodation suits the needs of a practical visitor of Colorado.

Aside from mountaineering interest of Marie, they will be able to visit the historical places and the beautiful sceneries of Colorado. They will surely enjoy every minute of their family bonding.

I recently had dinner with a childhood friend. While eating, I noticed that the color of his left hand is way lighter than his right hand. I voiced out my thoughts and he answered, “I play golf in a nearby golf club.”

Now why didn’t I think of that? Anyway, he was not the sporty type when we were kids, so I was surprised about that information. Curious, I prodded more about his new recreation, and soon, we were scheduling my first golf lesson. He told me he’ll lend me some of his golf equipment while taking the lessons until I decide whether or not I’ll include playing golf in my weekly routine. I can’t wait for my first golf lesson.

It’s almost snowboarding season! For those planning to buy snowboards, here are some basic snowboard information you should know.

There are three main types of snowboards - Freestyle, Freeride (All Mountain), and Alpine (Carving) Boards. For beginners like me, it is best to go for a Freeride snowboard since its only focus is on enjoying the ride and exploring all there is on a mountain. For experts who want to focus on jumps, tricks, rail slides, halfpipes, and switch riding, Freestyle snowboard is for you. For those into speed and the ultimate carving turn in Snowboarding, you should go for Alpine Snowboards.

Still, before you buy a snowboard, do keep in mind that most of the time, a snowboard is designed for a particular purpose. It will not perform well if you do not use it in the terrain it is intended for.

I have always been a frustrated athlete. When I was a kid, I remember wishing I could run around the football field without looking lame. I am not athletic at all.

As a teenager, I never missed a single tennis tournament. I would drool over Patrick Rafter, Nicolas Lapentti and James Blake. Even if some of them do not win a single title, or retire after two matches with sissy shoulder injuries, the flexed biceps are good enough for me. I would look at Marat Safin and Juan Carlos Ferrero and think maybe I should try learning to play so I could hang around the clay court instead of simply lying on the sagging couch.

Then I saw Kim Clijsters humungous thighs. My god. I could kill a trucker with that pair. Imagine if she ended up with Leyton Hewitt and had a kid. Bec Cartwright can do cartwheels in her forearms.

For those into boxing, Roman Greenberg, the Israeli heavyweight boxer, had a fight with World Title challenger ‘Dangerous’ Damon Reed last Saturday, August 18 at the South Town Exhibition Center in Sandy, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. It was a headlining event on pay-per-view and one of the major sponsors of the event is Backgammon Masters, an online backgammon operator.

Before the fight, Roman Greenberg humbly shared, “It’s a great card. I’m honored to be fighting with David, Williams and the others. I want to thank everybody who has helped me get where I am. I hope that I entertain all of you guys.” Based from the fight, entertain was an understatement. In fact, some experts commented that Reed provided one of the toughest fights for Greenberg.

Then again, Greenberg “The Hebrew Hammer”, also known as a classy combination-throwing fighter, showed that he has yet to fight anyone of real class after beating Reed on the ninth round last Saturday. As one boxing fan nicely put it, “The Tel Aviv Terminator detonated a flurry of brutal blows to cause a blistering ninth round stoppage of the steel-jawed Reed.” I guess Heavyweight Roman Greenberg is definitely fast becoming the Becks of the Boxing World.
