Philippine Sports

I'm really not a sporty guy around here but i love watching sports live on TV. Unfortunately, here in our country, we do not pay more attention to other interesting sports. Basketball is obviously the most famous sports here. I remember when i was in high school, i went to different "try outs" and "dry run", desperately hoping that they can include me in our school's official varsity but everything turned out as failures. LOL. Maybe, sports is not really meant for me so i just satisfied myself by watching them live or watching them on tv.
It is very nice to see that Filipinos are opening their doors now to some new field of sports including football and hockey.
The Philippine National Football Team or much better known as Team Azkals made Football more popular here in our country after winning several international matches. Since then, a lot of Football training school were opened, aiming to teach kids how to play Football properly and effectively. I have heard that the Team is currently undergoing series of practices in preparation for their upcoming match.
Even though we are on a tropical country, it is pretty amazing that we have fellow Filipinos who still excel on extreme sports like Ice Hockey, snow boarding and Ice Skating. Even though we do not have Snow here and we do not have wide space for their training, they are still being recognized in this kind of sports. As a matter of fact, our country was chosen to host the first ever Asia Pacific Hockey Summit. That's why here's our fellow Filipino Hockey players, seriously practicing in preparation for the upcoming event
Being into extreme sports is a great experience indeed but you also have to consider your safety. Safety should always come first. Remember what happened to Natasha Richardson last 2009? She died because of Head injury after she fell during a skiing lesson in Quebec. It was said that actress is not wearing any helmet which probably put her into danger.
Just like what i said, Safety should always comes first so if ever you will put yourself into an extreme sport like this, better wear safety gears to protect you from any harm. It doesn't mean that if you're wearing a knee pad, it is okay not wear a shoulder pad or a helmet while practicing. You should wear them all completely because you do not know where or when the accident will occur.
You also have to consider the brand of your sports gear. The quality is really important here and take note that your life might be at risk if you chose to use a cheap brand. Better use a well trusted sportswear like DaKine for example. DaKine is a well known brand specializing in sportswear. Their backpacks are quite popular too so as the very stylish Dakine Snow Gloves. Their Dakine Beanies are very fashionable too which comes up with different color, styles and design.

Golf as a Stress Reliever?

One good thing about playing golf is that it doesn't require any age. Teens and oldies are so welcome to play this game as long as they know the rules and much better if they know how to play it effectively. It's always been a dream to me to play golf though i never get any chance because of my work. Being a full time web writer and a full time tutor took almost all of my time, making it so impossible for me to enter such kind of activity.
I've been reading some sport related magazine about the advantage of playing golf. It is actually like playing a real life mind boggling puzzle since you have to think creatively and strategically on how to shoot the ball into the hole. But despite of being mind twisting, golf is considered as a perfect stress reliever especially if you were able to finish the standard 18 golf courses.
But of course, if you are a beginner and inexperience, then most likely, you'll find the game quite complicated at first and completing each courses will not be as easy. But then, with proper training and continuous process, I'm sure you can finish the game with no ease.
I guess the reason why they are considering Golf as a perfect stress reliever is because of the gaming area. Golf is usually done in a wide green field, giving you an opportunity to smell the fresh air, embrace the nature and will also help you to concentrate and focus more on your moves before executing your shot.
It is a great sport indeed. I wish I have time for this and if ever i get a chance, i hope i could find something like those Golf Courses Portland in Oregon that i saw from the web.
Have a Rainy weekend Everyone ^_^(it's raining so heavily here because of Typhoon Egay)

Sport Lover

Dad is a certified Sports Lover and he never missed an episode of his favorite sport channel. He love basketball a lot and that is something that i never inherited from him. I am not an athletic type of guy and some of my friends used to tease me as bench warmer. I never been included in our school varsity. I just wish i could be physically fit to those sports but i really don't have that skills.

Anyway, Dad is so busy watching the Super Bowl event. Too bad we do not have an LCD TV to watch those event in high definition. Well, good thing that our cable service provider seems to be cooperating lately and is not giving us headache. We used to complain about our cable signal because we experienced interruption so often before. In fact, we almost came to a point that we want to switch to another Cable Service provider.
Anyway, same thing goes with our Tv. I think we have to switch to a new and upgraded one so that we can watch all our favorite tv channels in high definition. I have heard that flat screen tv are available up to 70 inches wide. Amazing isn't?
They said that puchasing it online saves money than buying it directly on stores because you can have a chance to get some discounts.
