Golfing at Marlton Golf Club....

It's always nice to see people playing and enjoying golf on a nice sunny breezy day. Though its not the season really to play golf coz winter is coming; yet, I see a lot of pro still playing golf. I have no idea how it works but i learn from my hubby who wants to be pro in the future as a hobby. God bless him on this game....hehhehe....



Having a video game Wii it helps you understand more how it works..from the wind to the hardness or softness of your stroke..a lot to learn..it's not just saying strike it or hit the ball and make sure it go straight to the hole but it's more to it than that...besides you need to put a lot of effort on it...a lot of energy and strength to be able to control the way you hit the ball and where the ball goes. Like I've said, I'm not even a beginner, I just tried how to hit the ball and believe me it's not easy. Especially with me, I am not good at any kind of games that involves a ball, period.




One time, the church organizes a golf tournament for charity. They call it 1st Annual Discover Charity, Discover Golf Tournament 2009 last October 10,2009, Saturday at Marlton Golf Club, if I'm not mistaken. It was a charity for the church and other institutions, not much people played maybe 5-8 teams tried with 4 persons in each team. Of course I did not play, but my hubby did. Though doesn't know much about golfing, he tried it anyway. What's to lose, right? Because this was a charity, not everybody are good at playing golf, these are just beginners or amateurs not like Tigerwoords or anybody else...some even are lawyers or pastors or even Elders.



I was at the reception, your highnest, taking care of the registration(I believe) and just taking pictures of all the action. I love taking pictures....Anyway, let me get back, I'm sure they were tired after all the hitting of the balls and trying to get a par, birdie, eagle or even albatross. At the end of the day, everybody enjoyed the game as a starter it was an experience they will never forget. We ate at the Cafeteria, they had free food for the players but because some of us were volunteers were also free. hehhehee....They got all food like we had a cookout.




We had some raffles, auctions for charity and the most awaited part was the awarding of trophies. The trophies was also donated by.....I wasn't planning to play but just support the church event but in the end I was picked on the raffle so I was able to get a soveiner t-shirt and my hubby too and a golf towel from the senate. At the end, my hubby's team end up winning 2nd Placer, so no harm in trying.



A week from that, my hubby encouraged me to try playing golf even just learning to hit/strike the ball and givng me some putting tips. Well, I have no idea how it works, I tried to hit the ball using this golf club but I swear, it doesnt work. After a few strokes, practice and more effort, I was able to hit the ball and it moves farther than I expect it. Honestly, it's not easy as it looks like. I tried putting then and because of the slope, it's harder to attack the flag(the hole). I did make sure that I have pictures of myself trying.



We played at Marlton Golf Club just for striking the ball and putting on a Sunday afternoon after mass and I did enjoy it. Though my left hand finger's skin peel off coz of grasping the club so tight, I think I would like to go back and try it again. Never be afraid of trying new things and have to believe in ourselves that we can do it....right?

at Jasper's....Crofton, Maryland

Just got back home from West VA last Sunday and it was a busy week. After my father-in-law died, we want to bring mom back to Maryland to keep her mind away from Bob(my deceased father-in-law). We went shopping at the Farmer's Market(which i wasnt able to take pictures) and went straight to Walmart and Food Lion. Days flew fast and we have to send mom to my hubby's sister for another week vacation there. So, me and hubby decided to treat mom for dinner one evening before she leaves. We went and tried Jasper's in Crofton, Maryland.


We even said that it must be a very nice restaurant that the parking was so crowded. When we came inside, it was not as crowded as it look like outside. Yet, the place looks nice. The way it was setup and the price was just like Applebee's, Fridays, Ruby Tuesday, Olive Garden and Red Lobster.




The food was great and it was fresh and new. They have a combination of chicken fingers and half rack bbq ribs with fries and coleslaw for $17.59. We order cajun calamari for $8.99 and cajun shrimp for $8.69 for appetizers; and I order my never-ending-bbq ribs with the chicken fingers. With a refillable soda...wow.. t will fill you up. We did'nt order anymore dessert coz we're too full. It was a nice experience having dinner with mom, Reese, and my hubby. I did enjoy the whole week with mom as well...and i wish we can make her more happier inspite of her hubbys loss. After feeding our face, though its a little 30 minutes ride going back home, we can't wait to play basketball Wii again....hehhehee...we got so addicted to it...good thing that the next day was holiday, not to worry about working...Just remember that, never be afraid to try something new, if somebody can try it why can't you?....as long as you're not doing anything wrong you should'nt be afraid of anything. May God bless you.....

enjoying the game....bowling...wii....all-in-one....

We used to love simple ways of enjoying life...playing simple outdoor games, playing kites on a breezy day, playing paper boat on a rainy day, even playing cards indoor or just simply chatting with friends endlessly. Inspite of all the simple things we do, we laugh, cry, shout, and enjoy the company together. One of the games that i like most was "bowling", but too expensive for us to play in the Philly . Inspite the fact, that i never learn how to get a strike, i still like it.

AMF Bowling Center was one of the bowling place we go to. You can order food if you want like chicken fingers, pizza, hotdogs and chips, drinks or beer.

Per game was $6.00 plus $4.25 shoes rental plus tax...

Everyday we look forward on new technologies with fashion and style design to give us joy, excitement, and cover our needs and our curiousity. We got so much to cope up with, like Nintendo,"XBOX", PS3, Wii....so many to choose from. But, one thing that makes me wanna play more...the wii....u can play a lot of games: like boxing, baseball, golf, tennis, driving, bicycling, running, different kind of body fitness and even teaching a student....it's crazy good...i luv it so much, that it makes me and my hubby play it almost every night playing bowling or tennis...but he loves golf more...we got the wii for $200 dollars on SALE at Walmart including 5 games and one controller...try it its worth the price...

Buy one, play and enjoy...you'll see the child in you....

A lot of times i tell myself to embrace my youth coz once it pass its gone...Let's enjoy our life and appreciate every little thing we have coz it maybe gone soon....

good life after settling in

It took some time before i settle in emotionally, physically and mentally here in the United States. I always love living in the Philly coz of the fact that i am near family, friends, and relatives. They used to ask me how was life living in the United States, and most of the time i tell them it's too lonely being far away from home. But, after finding a job, being busy trying to adjust to everything and learning the American way; i can say that im loving the lifestyle here.

Working full time in a bank was not a joke but it keeps me busy and employed.hehehe...

When you want to really eat good steak and eat all you can, its best to try "FOGO DE CHAO". You got all meats from chicken, pork, beef, sausage to lamb...one of the best "eat all you can" i've ever tasted. It's a little pricey for one person for dinner was $49.50 plus drinks, but it was worth it. RSVP...

Some things in life you cannot reach, you cannot have, you cannot control...but one thing i know, that the Lord has the best plan for me....
