2 Make a Field Hockey Team in this House.

I have regretted and hated that I have been out of the Field Hockey scene since I blew out my knee 10 years ago. So, I decided to try to get back into it by working on training and drills in Steveston Park. As it turns out, it's MUD. I did find a place to practice my hits though.

Before that, I bought my stick on craiglist. There's a first time for everything. Yes, I know I'm behind the times for software geek.

I didn't have a proper ball to practice with. Tennis balls are just not a good substitude. I needed a solid ball with some cork in the middle. Trust me. You do NOT want to get between me and my long hits! Or short hits for that matter. They are really hard.

I went to the one and only field hockey shop to buy a ball. Just as I was about to pay, I saw under the counter the CUTEST mini hockey sticks. I just HAD to get it for Angela.

Got her a floor hockey ball to play with.

She took to it like a duck to water. Check out her skills.

1. Passive defence

2. Flick hit

3. Fakey in the legs

Hmmmm. I wonder at what age they can start playing in a league. She's gonna ROCK me thinks.

I'm a Fashion-Forward Gal!!!

Went to the Eye Doctor (don't ask me to spell the real word. I tried but failed every time). I've only been to the eye doctor since last year.

Last year, I got a weak prescription for night driving. They matched my face that no one really noticed them until 2 - 3 months later. It was quite fascinating. Most especially when the person said,"Have you gotten NEW glasses?" Too funny!!!

Anyhow, I went back to get another check-up today and BANG!!! I was told that I am far-sighted with a sever astigmatism. It's funny, more high-tech people are near-sighted. Yet again, I am again the high-tech grain.

My glasses from last year were setup to help me with driving (especially at night). Well, now the eyes have turned almost completely 180 degrees. Yes they still help with the driving but the doc said that it will make a HUGE improvement in reading and social networking (heh).

The doc was shocked when he saw the original prescription from last year.

So anyway, after the doctor's appointment, it was time to get regular frames and sunglass frames since my prescription will affect my sunny sight.

I swear, I looked at the entire selection and that seemed to take hours. (Good thing since my eyes were dilated).

It's so funny. The frames that fit my face best were very "yeah baby you look FINE" type but they are understated at the same time. The only way you know they are "chic" is that they have bling on the side at the joint.

SO. Get this. My everyday frames are RED frames by GUCCI while my sunglasses frames are purple hue and are from COACH!

Now my goal for the rest of myself is to actually fit clothes that match these frames. It's a long-shot by the time I need to come back again for a check-up but it will be a great goal to strive for. If I don't make it, I guess I'll just have to make sure I get these frames for the next year.

Let's see what they look like next week. 8~)

Some Photography Going Forward

I still wish I could put my photos up here but 5 at a time is not easy at all with the way blogs work. If you're on Facebook, search for "Halos Photography". That's me. Choose to like it so that I can expand my network of networks.

I'm looking forward to the pictures I get to take this weekend. Two COMPLETELY different events. I can't go into detail until Saturday.

Recently, I purchased a tripod and an telephoto lens that self adjusts. This weekend should prove a great testing ground.

Wish me luck!
