I just made three penalties in our game today!!! wahhhhh!
1. CATCHING THE BALL.
As the ball was kicked to the goal by our opponent, in an instinct, I tried to catch the ball! .. Ok, I am playing at Gallup Adult Soccer League Team, a newbie! .. and I've yet to internalize the rules! Funny, but prior to today's game, we were playing Volleyball yesterday, and the volleyball player in me took over! Referee's decision: Opponent's point!

2. TOUCHING THE BALL.
I was assigned as a defense, while trying to defend the ball from entering the goalie's territory, the ball touched my shoulder! .. another error!!! Opponent got to play a free kick!

3. PASS BACK TO KEEPER. 
The ball came to my stance, and was accidentally kicked to my keeper! OMG! It was not intentional, and even if it was, I wouldn't even know what it meant! Referee, gave the opponent a free kick again!

Here's why:
• uses a deliberate trick while the ball is in play to pass the ball to his own goalkeeper with his head, chest, knee, etc. in order to circumvent the Law, irrespective of whether the goalkeeper touches the ball with his hands or not. The offense is committed by the player in attempting to circumvent both the letter and the spirit of law 12 and play is restarted with an indirect free kick.

20 years after high school, who would have thought I would play the game...and NOT JUST ONE GAME! THREE GAMES at that! 

VOLLEYBALL.

Actually, I've no intention of competing, no intention at all! I was just having fun playing with the Gallup team as they practice. When another team asked if I would like to join, I told them NOT!, but they invited me to join, thinking why not? it would be fun and a form of exercise anyway! So I joined! 

Can I serve? predictable service yes! 
Can I bump? set? spike? dink? HUH?

BADMINTON

The same, I was just playing badminton for the sake of playing. I don't even have tricks and tips on how it is supposed to be played!

I just run where the ball is right? LOL

SOCCER

Oh, so I can use my hands if I'm the goalie! And, wait I'm the defense? not forward and mid position? not a keeper? Repeat.. repeat! 

I've no more excuse. Tournament for Volleyball and Badminton is next week. Soccer, so far at 3 weeks now, we've no score yet!

Mmmm... Is it time for mind power? LOL!

TIME to educate myself... and yes, I've got to DO it NOW!

ANY tips and tricks y'all?

Thanks much!!!

    If I had not came to Thailand, I would have not played volleyball in a serious Sportsfest game. And I suck!

    amongst the 4, it's badminton that I can really play with. Am not so fond of ball games though I have tried softball before but never really liked it that much:)

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
