Mimoi joins Gallup Little League!

Tee ball or t-ball is like baseball for kids ages 3-4 and 5-6.

According to Wikipedia, in t-ball, the pitcher is usually used for defensive purposes only. The ball is placed on an adjustable tee atop (see photo below) the home plate at a suitable height for the batter to strike. Score is not kept and rules are designed to maximize participation: an inning is completed once each child has had a turn at bat and all extra players of the defensive team play in the outfield every inning.

To encourage the defensive team to try to make plays, there are typically no extra bases on overthrows and runners may not advance after the ball is in possession of an infielder.

Mimoi's first Tee ball experience!

Last April 29, 2012 the Tee ball Opening Day Ceremonies was held at the Ford Canyon Park, Mickey Mantle Field, Gallup, New Mexico.

It was well attended, parents were busy taking pictures and videos, kids were all in uniform, excited and had the time of their lives!

    your kid looks like he was having such great fun!

    You know I had a friend in college who lived in New Mexico...I think she even went to a HS in Gallup. Her name is Lucille Patience Vidal. Maybe you can find her for me? She was a rotex student here Bacolod in 1972 or 73...

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
