Battle for Greatness.

Boxing aficionados have waited 5 years for the match between boxing champions Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao to happen.

The most-awaited fight will be on May 2, 2015 (May 3 in Manila) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It will be a unification fight for WBA, WBC, and WBO.

We can express our support to our kababayan Manny Pacquiao via the website ONEFORPACMAN.

Good luck, Manny! We are proud of you!

Sporty daddy

My husband used to play lawn tennis and golf. He said playing lawn tennis is a lot cheaper than playing golf. He already has his own tennis racket, but with golf he needs to have a golf club set and pay exorbitant fee to be a member of a golf course club. He was able to play golf through his former officemates and friends, who also lend him golf clubs. He only shells out a minimal fee for the entrance at the golf club and for the cart use. They usually meet on weekends to play. Sadly, his playing buddies have transferred to other companies so hubby had to gradually quit playing golf and eventually lawn tennis.

He still misses playing golf and lawn tennis as both sports actually helped him recover from some health issues in the past. He still has his lawn tennis racket at the office and he hopes to teach the kids one day. A tennis racket at Zalora costs more than P1,000 these days. But it’s actually cheaper compared to other brands sold at the mall. We can secure two more rackets when the kids are ready to play.

The Film Seabiscuit Is Inspiration To All Budding Riders

The blockbuster movie Seabiscuit is inspiration to all horse riders and owners throughout the world. It has been translated into many languages and is extremely popular among those who are passionate about horses and also those that are not. This film is a fantastic story about an underdog who becomes a world-famous champion racehorse.

It shows that money cannot buy you success and there are still animals out there that have a lot of potential to beat the thoroughbred competition. The story successfully portrays a bond between a talented jockey and an un-trainable horse.

What brings the two together is that a wealthy businessman who has the funds to purchase the best horse equipment decides to put these two together and the companionship is magical. What really is amazing about this film is that it displays the bond that a horse has with its owner. This is something that is hard to explain and only those who have their own animals will understand this. Horse riding and ownership is a fantastic hobby and sport. There are millions of people around the world who love horse-riding and it is basically a lifestyle for them.

There is however an image of this sport being purely for the rich. They are able to easily afford it and spend lots of money on riding wear. These are simply material items and can be bought second-hand anyway. If you are truly passionate about owning one of these animals then you shouldn’t let money come in between your dream. There are more affordable ways of owning a horse and you do not have to spend all of your money on luxury horse rugs. By being a little savvy and shopping around you will still be able to get the best equipment for your animal and enjoy this hobby.

For those who want to get into horse riding then there are many riding centres that will be more than happy to work out an affordable package for you to get into horse riding. Also there are many jobs that are related to this industry so you can actually make a hobby a lifetime career.
