Good Dive, Bad Dive '06/26/07

(Visited 1599 times)

What is a good racing dive? Aside from playing ice hockey, I was also a competitive swimmer back in the days. I started swimming when I was 12 years old. I joined the Swim Team in high school and college. I was a member of AAPS (Athletics Association for Private Schools) and won silver and bronze medals for freestyle and backstroke events. I didn’t win any gold (which I really got frustrated) because I thought it has something to do with my height haha… I had extensive practices, 5 times a week between 5am to 7am. I really enjoyed the Swim Meets and of course my dark, toned body. ;)

Anyways, what is a good dive again? Leap up and out, then enter the water without a splash for a perfect racing dive. Here are the steps:

Good one! Got a bronze medal for this.

Travel the Philippines (Lakbayin ang Pilipinas) '06/22/07

So far, I’ve traveled the tip to the southern part of the Philippines. But thats not enough. I still have a lot of places to go to, explore new places and bring good news to everyone who wants to travel the Philippines. Marc and I promised to travel the tourist spots here before exploring overseas because we have to see the beauty of the Philippines first. Now that’s what we call loving our own country. Also, I want to have an A+ grade haha… ;)


My Lakbayan grade is B-!

Manila Ice Vixens didn’t win the World Ice Hockey 5’s 2007 this year, but we went home with pride. Considering that this was MIV’s first international competition, a lot of teams told us we did pretty well and that made us feel really good. We really had fun in HK. We made friends with almost all of the Women’s team like Japan Red Bullets, Malaysian Slayers, Macau Mystiks, Wndigos, Macau Asian All-Stars (Macau and Singapore) and HK WIHO Selects also with some other teams from International A, B and Asian A and B.
