Planning Ahead for Summer

In three months from now, school year is about to end and I am thinking on how to make this summer productive for my kids. I want to engage them in sports so they could learn how to discipline themselves. Who knows my youngest son who is fond of playing basketball may have the chance to make it in Boston College Eagles.

My eldest son Jet loves swimming; in fact he can spend the entire day without getting tired of swimming. He loves to swim whether in the pool water or beach. He does not care if he turns really tan because of swimming. On the other hand, I think Gabby should be enrolled in self-defense school like Taekwondo. I want them to learn sportsmanship at early age; and I would like them to taste the bitterness of losing a game and the sweet victory too.

Although it's still a couple of months away from summer vacation; I think I should start saving up for their enrollment in summer sports camp. For the meantime, they can practice using Wii sports to enhance their talents. How about you mommy bloggers; have you made plans for the kids this coming summer?

People.Events.Places

If you are fond of watching sports events and concerts, then you have to buy tickets ahead of time to avoid the hassle of queuing through long lines and not to mention running out of tickets and miss the event. In the US, all sports teams have their homecourt, this would allow people from their state to have the chance to cheer for their own sports team. Sometimes events held in these arena are not just for sports alone, major concerts by famous celebrities are also held in these venues.

Here in the Philippines, we have the venues like Araneta Coliseum, PhilSports Arena and Ninoy Aquino Stadium. Recently, in major provinces there are already venues like these that can accommodate huge number of people.
