Penn reels

July 1st, 2009

I’m planning for a fishing trip this summer. Maybe this year I will catch a big one that can live up to my fish tales. I started looking for fishing gears in the web and I came across Penn reels in my search and ended up in their website. I got the shock of my life when I saw the fish they caught in their website’s main page. It was a monster’s monster and something I want to catch in my lifetime.

Then and there I decided to get a Penn reel. I figured what I needed most in my fishing game is more luck. The Penn reels look really good that gives me a good vibe. All reels have science behind it anyway so I wasn’t really looking something to give me an edge. I’ve seen local fishermen with sticks and nylon catching more fish than my high tech reel. Even if I don’t catch anything at least I’ll looking good trying. Anyway, I will always have a fish tale to tell.

picnic blanket

June 30th, 2009

My wife and I love to spend the weekends outdoors with our two kids. On weekends we pack our car with our cooler of ice, food, drinks and a picnic blanket and off will go to our local park to have a picnic. The boys love to run up and down the hill and play around the lake. We spend the whole day there. Sometimes we go on a boat ride around the lake or go horseback riding around the park.

My wife on the other hand prefers to hang around the picnic blanket to protect the food from ant as well as catch up on her reading. She’s an avid reader and collector of books. Sometimes she finishes one novel per day. After the picnic, we pack up and head of to the local pizza place for dinner. What a nice way to spend the day. I hope I can do this every weekend till my kids become teenagers.

Spidertech tape

June 26th, 2009

When I first discovered taping, I was part of my college track team. During that time nobody really knew how to tape properly. We would waste a lot of tape only to re-tape it again because it was either too tight or too loose. Good thing that new and improved tapes that are available nowadays have made taping a lot more easier. Spidertech tape for example is pre cut already for different body parts.

The Spidertech tape is the grand daddy of all tapes. It has the same elasticity and thickness of human skin. It is so comfortable that it can be worn for five days. It is also so easy to apply. Besides being functional, it also looks cool! Sometimes I wish I was injured so I can wear it! I wish they had it back when I was running track in college.

Akadema baseball gloves

June 16th, 2009

My little brother was not much into sports as a kid. He would usually run slower than we did and lost all his wrestling matches against our older cousins. When he was nine, he said they had to play baseball in school. My dad was so excited; he took my brother to the sports shop and bought him Akadema baseball gloves. His gloves were a bit too big for him at the start because my Dad wanted to get him bigger gloves since he said my brother’s hands would still get bigger.

Unfortunately for my dad, my brother did not make it to the baseball team. He played baseball for a short while because it was part of his physical education class. My brother wasn’t as well coordinated as my dad hoped he would be. His Akadema baseball gloves remained unused. When my little cousin Eric decided to try baseball, we gave him my brother’s Akadema baseball gloves. Eric was a good player, he made the team. He loved baseball and he loved the gloves.

Golf balls have to adhere to certain specification covered in the rules of golf.

These are tested and needs the approval of the Royal and Ancient golf Club of St. Andrews and the United States Golf Association, to be able to be used in competitions. There are quite a number of golf ball brands in the market. Choosing the best can be quite confusing.

Intech golf balls are just a one of the popular golf ball brands to choose from. When we look at the golf ball what we see is a dimpled surface, but what’s inside is different from one ball to another. There are wound balls that look like strips of rubber band with a liquid core; and there are non-wound balls that have a solid core. The basis for choosing the better ball is anchored on how far it travels. Solid centers tend to travel farther, making them the popular choice of golfers.

flower girl wedding baskets

June 15th, 2009

When I was planning my wedding, my fiancé and I wanted to have a small wedding. We wanted our closest friends and family members to be with us on this special day. I did not plan on having flower girls since my fiancé and I did not have nieces. When my husband asked his friend Lance to be his best man, Lance insisted that his daughter be a flower girl. My fiancé was too polite to say no. A few months later, one of my husband’s groomsmen asked that his daughter also be a flower girl. I suddenly had two flower girls. I ordered two flower girl dresses and two flower girl wedding baskets for them to carry down the aisle.

On the day of my wedding, my two lovely flower girls showed up in matching dresses. They couldn’t have been more mismatched; one had long flowing blonde hair, while the other had short tight black curls. But they both looked so cute in their flower girl wedding baskets standing by the church doors. They did not really become friends after the wedding; each girl chose to cling to their mommies all throughout the wedding. By the time the wedding had ended both flower girls had fallen asleep, they went home with pieces of the wedding cake inside their flower girl wedding baskets.

field hockey

June 12th, 2009

Kids and kids at heart love to play games. However, the benefits will depend on the kinds of games one plays. To help your children become healthier physically, let them play games outside more than they spend in front the computer or game consoles. Encourage them to engage in sports like field hockey or street hockey.

All they needed to play this game are hockey sticks, goal sticks, hockey pucks and goal nets. For safety, ensure they wear proper protection when playing. Have them go to an empty school parking lot during weekends to play in instead of in the street.
