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:)

Outside the Box!

Welcome to WEALTHY TUESDAYS! Money-Matters!   Let’s me face the fact.  The fact is anything can happen.  Everything is possible and possibilities are infinite. Good. Wait! Everything? Is possible? Infinite possibilities? Yes. That’s correct. (It is only our mind that sets limits; try pushing your mind beyond the box!) I learned from seminars I’ve attended in the past that  “If the intention is clear, then the mechanism will appear.” Formula: Intention 100% + Mechanism 0% = Achieved Goal 100% If my intention, (belief, purpose, faith) is clear then the mechanism (activity, action, system) will appear! ~ and that will make me achieve my goal! 100% intention that is ALL IT TAKES! Wow! Then, let me be clear: “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could be of more service to people esp. to my family, relatives and friends.” and “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could enjoy more of life’s grandeu...

Say IT!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/70285332@N00/3032368925 "Show what you feel in relationships. If you feel like crying, cry your eyes out! When you feel like laughing, laugh your eyes out. Scream when you want to scream. Roll on the floor. Surprise everybody!" "Please don’t wait to communicate your feelings!" This came from Leo Buscaglia 's book Living, Loving and Learning . (click his name to know more about it.) For now, you would have known that I am a fan! Yes, I am! Just Say IT! I hate it when my husband will not talk to me because I did something wrong! I do not know why he needs to pamper the pain!!! I am his exact opposite because I just simply communicate what I feel, well, tactless at times but, I need the communication part, so that when I’m done with it, then it’s done.   Just LET ME KNOW! There are people who are afraid to communicate their feelings to the point that instead of directly telling "what's bugging them" with the particular...

Imbalance

For years, I’ve never had a credit card. A friend literally shouted at me when I looked at the application form. He said, “DON’T YOU DARE APPLY!!!” and so I didn’t. I didn’t even try to mind  what effects they were trying to tell me if I own one.  Come 2007, in the land of milk and honey?!, I was forced to apply for a credit card. “Credit cards are needed to have credit scores”; “It is a must here!”; “Everyone’s got a credit card!”; “No we don’t carry cash, we carry cards”. So I did get one, nope, two, nope, three, nope… OK, to date I have 8 cards!!!!  Yes, I’ve been managing my accounts really well, never had a month without paying, at least the minimum amount. Yes, credit cards made us survive financial turbulence! Yes, credit cards made me say YES, YES, YES!  Since coming here in the land of the free?!, never had we stayed home for long breaks.. we’ve travelled and travelled far to beautiful places, checked in to different hotels, ate, bought, spent… NO budgeting,...
