Manila Golf Golden Tee

By | Events and Launches, Sports, Valentine's Day | 2 Comments

Every year, Manila Golf holds it’s annual Golden Tee tournament.  It’s a big thing for the club and this event is very well attended by the members and well sponsored by many of the biggest companies in the country.  It was my first time to attend last 2009

At the end of the tournament, there is a dinner and it is usually held on Valentine’s day or the Valentine weekend.  They set up a giganic tent in the golf course just for the evening

All the ladies get a rose 🙂

Around 500 couples attend the dinner

James partnered with our good friend, Mykie Ozaeta

I was able to take a few people photos 😉

and the fireworks!

We attended one more after the 39th and missed one but I didn’t take photos.  

This was this year, the 42nd!

James made sure I took a photo of this, a very rare Lexus and the only one in the Philippines.  Don’t ask me more about cars, that’s all i know about this one 🙂

On the way there, they tempt you with the Grand raffle prize.  Though we really wanted the Lexus 🙂  

Everyone waits till the end because you cannot win it if you are not present

golden-tee-026.jpggolden-tee-028.jpg

They carpet the walk to the tent 🙂

James joined with my eldest brother

golden-tee-032.jpg 

and when we checked out the score board, their names were actually there, 4th place

Every year there are I think 4 to 5 bakas being cooked for dinner

James’ favorite people photo at the Golden Tee 🙂

We were on time, but when we got there, mostly everyone was there!  They are so punctual! 

golden-tee-036.jpggolden-tee-037.jpggolden-tee-038.jpg

We were happy to find a table in the end of the room and be beside the buffet 🙂 and be beside Tito Willie and Tita Marion!!  So nice to see them!  We were all hoping to win something in the raffle! 

golden-tee-039.jpg

There are a couple of entertainment numbers in between the raffle and I noticed they are all geared towards the men 🙂 hence the pretty girls like Aubrey Miles! 

golden-tee-040.jpg

In our table, Raj won airplane tickets to anywhere in the Philippines!! WOOHOO!! 

golden-tee-041.jpg

Two handsome 🙂 Paolos sat on our table for awhile….hoping to win also.  And it was Paolo Prieto’s birthday!! Happy Birthday Paolo, my childhood neighbor 🙂 

golden-tee-042.jpg

And that evening I told James that tonight we will not say our usual line that ” We never win in raffles!”  Which is why we probably really never win because we already have such a negative attitude.  So I was so determined I told James that we will win something tonight……. and James did!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!  A camera for me 🙂

Camp Wakeboarding

By | For kids, Sports | No Comments

From my friend Clair Concepcion Barberis

 We are Philippine Wake School, a private sector that aims to produce top athletes in the growing sports wakeboard and wakeskate in the Philippines. Our first goal is to introduce the sports to everyone by holding fun camps and clinics in different spots. Our second goal is to unite the local wake community and help the sports to grow by holding events and friendly competitions. Our third goal is to support our local talented athletes by eventually providing them with sport equipments for their training and sponsorships for competitions to represent our country. One of our goals is to promote our country. The Philippines is an archipelago composed of islands and warm bodies of water and our weather suits riding all year, thus making our country a perfect place for riding.

about-us-phil-wakeboard-school.jpg

 

Our events are the following:

Operation Wake Camp – The Ultimate Wake Camp Experience for Everyone!

 

Operation Wake Camp is a wakeboard and wakeskate camp for all ages, from beginners to intermediate level. It’s not just an all wakeboard and wakeskate experience, but the camp also offers other fun off-wake activities! We believe that it’s more fun to ride and to progress if you ride with your friends that’s why at Operation Wake Camp, we make sure that we’ll give you the best wakeboard experience ever! This is the first ever camp in the country. The first one was held in CWC, Camarines Sur and was called Ladies’ First, an all girls wakeboarding camp. Now Philippine Wake School focuses on holding cable wakeboarding camps and boat clinics in areas such as Davao, Pampanga, Cebu, Laguna and Ilocos.

Steezy Sesh

If we have Operation Wake Camp for people who have never tried wakeboarding before and want to give it a shot, we also have Steezy Sesh for aspiring wakeboarders and wakeskaters to progress and learn new signature tricks from professional athletes. The coaches are professional wakeboarders and wakeskaters who are invited to teach and share their signature tricks. This is a good opportunity for the growing community of wakeboarders and wakeskaters in the country to progress in the sport by learning straight from their favorite athletes.

Roxy Skirt Day Sunday

Skirt Day Sunday is a barbeque party and riding session for girls. We have this event just for the girls because we want to give special attention to local girl wakeboarders and wakeskaters to encourage them to try the sport. This is a fun event for the girls to bond and to have something to look forward to every Sunday!

You may check our website www.philippinewakeschool.com for more info.

We would like to tie-up with your campus and explore the possibility of adding wakeboarding to the students’ extra sport activities. The sport is growing in the Philippines and it’s a good venue because of our weather and water. We are also getting a lot of support from local and international brands. Should you want to know more about us, we are welcome to meet and discuss further about our intentions. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

She also has a foundation called ‘Birdies for Breast Cancer,’ which supports breast cancer research.

With the latest Fall Winter 2011 Collection, LACOSTE asserts its modernity and creates a new appeal for the Crocodile brand. Taking inspiration from the legacy of René Lacoste’s inimitable style and forging ahead of the competition, the collection puts a contemporary twist on collegiate uniforms and sportswear. The pieces are a colorful take on the classic wardrobe essentials infused with the easy and relaxed elegance of an English weekend. Composed of basics that are re-imagined and re-interpreted, the collection exemplifies a meeting between tradition and innovation.
