These days, I don't have much time for physical activities but I try to make time as much as I could. With the basketball and the tennis courts lying flat right in front of our house, I am sincerely hoping to become more physically active in the coming weeks, months, years, and beyond.

I love throwing basketball on the hoops but I was never good at it. I could only shoot from the freethrow line and nowhere else farther than that. After a couple of rounds of shooting though, my arms feel great. They could really firm up fast. Sometimes, I also go swimming alone at the clubhouse pool. It's a ten-minute walk from our house. I am amazed at how I can target a lot of muscle groups when I do laps. It really feels great to sort of run out of breath once in a while.

I hope it's already weekend. I just can't wait to get myself to working out.]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/wela46/blog/sports-to-love/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:49:07 +0000 Louela TC.

Whatever I do, though, there's no happiness and contentment that I find in doing such. It's just the mere fact that I grab people's attention when I do dress up ostentatiously. There's nothing really that I get except for curious and admiring glances. It's a fleeting moment of pleasure that affirms the public's acceptance of who I am or who they perceive me to be. It was almost an endless struggle for me, trying to keep up with the latest fashion picks and trying to portray myself in such way that others will drown in envy.

But all throughout these months of financial draught--I say that because, I do not have a regular weekly or monthly allowance anymore from my parents--I realized how simple things can be beautiful in their own ways and how simplicity can even be more humbling and self-fulfilling than ostentation. Perhaps, it was the kind of happiness that I have been searching for a long time. The one that crushed my restlessness. The one that gives more significance to the core of my personality. The one that inspires me to learn more from life and become a better person, a better Christian.

Yes, with all honesty, I admit that I dreamed of wealth, of fame, of greatness. But acquiring all these do not necessarily make one person greater than others. Such is never the gauge of success. This life is not be lived for earthly things but for the One who created us. All else will perish but heavenly things won't and the love of the Lord won't. He is all we'll ever have to please as we journey through this thing called life.]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/wela46/blog/a-realization/ Fri, 12 Feb 2010 06:09:03 +0000 Louela TC.

As part of our marketing efforts, we met, this morning, with one of the mayors in Tarlac with whom we discussed everything about Hazzsports.com and the upcoming Ex-PBA All Star Exhibition Game. After discussing the matter, he invited us to present in front of all the mayors of Tarlac on the 10th. Apparently, the Mayors' League of Tarlac will be holding their meeting, then, and he wanted us to be there to present and discuss possible opportunities with the local officials.

The outpour of blessings just won't stop. Just a while ago, while I was typing this, Ex-PBA player Jayvee Gayoso called. It turned out that he is currently serving as the Director for Sports in the Private Schools of CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal,Quezon). He offered to help us out in contacting the private schools all over the CALABARZON region.

In the late afternoon, we met with one of our contact persons in Batangas, where we will most probably be holding our next event. Next week, we'll be off to visit the province to establish relationships with more contact people and to check out for other opportunities in the place.]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/macysdistribution/blog/endorsed/ Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:34:13 +0000 Glenn Ventura http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/louiseOli/blog/great-break-time/ dentist in Costa Mesa and best friend, Janna, calls me a slave of the dentist’s chair. There’s never a time when I don’t ask her to call me back every time she calls at the clinic.



So anyway, since I had a free time, I started watching my favorite TV sport, tennis. I was really so excited while I’m watching the game, a bit of suspense and nervous. But then my favorite tennis player, Venus Williams won the game.



I’m a huge fan of her and I always make sure to give time watching all her game even if I had my implant crown procedure with my patient. I’m so obsessed whenever she’s playing; sometimes I forget that I had my patient waiting for me. But as long as I’m able to return back to reality at the end of it, I’m happy.



Oh well, the phone is ringing. It must be Janna, again.]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/louiseOli/blog/great-break-time/ Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:32:46 +0000 Louise Oliver http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/macysdistribution/blog/three-birds-in-one-stone/ Today, we went around the province of Laguna.

Second, while waiting for our scheduled presentation with the U.P. Los Banos Sports Committee, we decided to hold sign ups at the nearby school--Los Banos National High School. Within the span of an hour, we were able to gather more than 70 sign ups. The students were very much eager to explore the new website. There was this bandwagon thing going on among them. That's why we felt that it would be great if Hazzsports.com gets advertised through word-of-mouth among the high school students.

And third, but definitely not the least among all our accomplishments today, we were able to discuss with the U.P. Los Banos Heads our endeavor and they all expressed great interest in what we were promoting. They surmised that it would definitely be a great opportunity for the athletes in their school. They were so eager that they offered to mount Hazzsports.com tarps on the lamp posts along the school grounds and on the hottest hangout spots around campus. We were so overwhelmed with everyone's enthusiasm that at the end of this day, we went home tired but smiling.]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/macysdistribution/blog/three-birds-in-one-stone/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:02:57 +0000 Glenn Ventura http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/wela46/blog/just-fun/
But then, I thought I should get active still. I want to live a fun and healthy lifestyle so maybe I'd just get my butt working out on the weekends. I so look forward to my workout sessions. I hope I could do some yoga with my friends, soon or do some healthy dishes during our cooking sessions.

Must be a lot of fun. ]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/wela46/blog/just-fun/ Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:53:44 +0000 Louela TC. Lina http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/macysdistribution/blog/la-consolacion-students-sign-up-for-hazzsports-2/
La Consolacion College Manila was the very first school that allowed us to hold sign ups inside their campus. It was the perfect timing to set up a sign up booth during the celebration of their College Week. "Sign up and get free pens!" was what we were shouting the whole time. Apparently, there was a fair number of receptive people. We were even able to get real and active athletes to sign up. They expressed genuine interest to the newly-introduced website and said that they would look forward to exploring it more.

Meanwhile, a number of sports fans visited our booth as well. They were excited about the news feeds feature of the website regarding their favorite sports teams and athletes. One admitted being a tennis fan. Another spoke of her interest in martial arts. It was a mix of curious people. When late afternoon came, we thought of giving out free ice cream together with the free pens, in order to drive more people to our booth and make them aware of our presence and our promotional activity. Most of the crowd were composed of college students. But some grade school kids approached us, too, and told us how much they look forward to playing the internet games on the Hazzsports website. At the end of the day, we were able to collect more than 300 sign ups.

As an after note, we would like to thank La Consolacion College's Dean of Student Affairs, Mr. Bravo, for graciously accommodating us during the activity.

Perhaps, that's just how life is. There are good times and there are bad times as well. There are moments of triumph and there are moments of defeat. Things happen for certain reasons and whatever those reasons are, for sure they are designed to make us better people.]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/wela46/blog/no-other-way/ Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:00:04 +0000 Louela TC.

The truth is that sometimes I tend to be a control freak that I don't realize just how much I am missing, if only I'd let go. I should trust God more with my life as well. I know that he has carved the path ahead of me and all I need to do is just walk through it even though I am completely clueless as to where I am going.

LORD give me courage and strength to risk, and to have faith that all things will come together, always, when I journey through life with YOU.]]> http://www.hazzsports.com/sports/wela46/blog/need/ Wed, 13 Jan 2010 03:49:00 +0000 Louela TC. Lina
