Looking for hobbies to engage in while staying at your luxury home developed by Brittany Corp? Why not take up Lacrosse. It’s a good sport to try and is also a great way to stay in shape. If you’ve always been active, you’ll find the game enjoyable and addictive.
Lacrosse Basics
Lacrosse is a team sport that uses long-handled stick called lacrosse stick, also referred to as a crosse, and a small rubber ball. The sport is of Native American origin and is mostly played in the United States and Canada.
Lacrosse is played as a contact sport. The lacrosse stick has a head with loose mesh that catches and holds the lacrosse ball. The objective of each team is to score by shooting the lacrosse ball into the opponent’s goal in the same manner that a score is made in soccer. A team’s offense involves catching, carrying, and passing the ball until a goal is made. A team’s defense aims to keep the opposing team from scoring by getting the ball through stick checking, positioning, or body contact. There are ten players in a team, assigned to four positions: midfield, attack, defense, and goalie.
The Lacrosse playing field is 110 yards long and 60 yards wide. The goals are 6 feet wide and 6 feet high, sitting inside a circular “crease” that measures 18 feet in diameter.
Lacrosse combines the speed of basketball, the endurance of soccer, and the hitting common in hockey. Lacrosse is showing signs of serious growth as a team sports although it is still not in the level of football and soccer.
Lacrosse Training Programs
Lacrosse can be played by both men and women, regardless of age level. The sport is played in different age groups in American schools and colleges. Lacrosse training programs are available in many parts of the United States. The game requires speed and power and most training programs are geared towards the development of these skills that are necessary to be competitive players.
A good training program gives importance to the development of attributes that will be needed to become a successful Lacrosse player, such as effort, respect, discipline, and teamwork. Coaches train the participants in the program to be committed to their team and the game. Participants are trained, not only in the skills of Lacrosse, but also in the skills of living a good and balanced life.
Lacrosse Equipment
The Crosse – The Lacrosse stick is made of wood or synthetic materials with a length of 40 to 42 inches for attackmen, or 52 to 72 inches for defensemen. The stick has a head with a net pocket at the end. The head of the crosse measures 6.5 to 10 inches wide for the players and 10 to 12 inches wide for the goalie.
The Ball – It is made of solid rubber measuring 7.75 to 8 inches in circumference and weighing 5 to 5.25 ounces. The ball could be orange, yellow, or white.
The Helmet – Players must wear protective helmets with face mask, chin pad, and four point chin strap.
The Mouthpiece – It must have a very visible color.
The Glove – Lacrosse players need to wear protective gloves that must never be altered.
Other protective equipment, such as shoulder pads, arm pads, and protective cups must be worn by all players, except the goalkeeper.

Color Scheme
Decorating with a European theme can be done with a variety of colors. If you opt for a brighter look, the use of olive green, dark brown, deep red, blue, or orange will exude the traditional colors of Tuscany. English country and French country themes feature soft tones such as white, yellow, blue, and green with a lot of floral wallpaper and decors. To create the elegance of a French provincial house, the recommended colors are white, gray, ice blue, and brown.
To create a Spanish or Mediterranean feel of the house, warm tones of taupe, burnt orange, brown, deep peach, yellow, green, blue, and red must be used. The home must also feature a lot of stucco and stone to create a real Spanish theme.
Floors
Wall-to-wall carpeting is traditionally American and is not recommended for a European-themed home. Hardwood is commonly use in European homes, with marbles or tiles in some parts such as the entryways and the bathrooms. For Mediterranean or Italian themed homes, ornate tiles will definitely bring an elegant look. Placing large area rugs on top of the hardwood or ornate tiles floors will add comfort and added color to your European inspired luxury home.
If you wish to buy real estate property either to live in or for investment, it is essential that you are aware of the top developers in the Philippines to make sure that you are making the right property choice. Thinking of the kind of home where you and your family want to settle in is very important and there are certainly many factors to consider. After all, you would only want what is best for your family. Having a golf course might be an interesting idea.
Why Location Matters to enjoy a Golf Course
One factor that you need to take note of is the location. Most of the time, this becomes the deciding factor in getting a house because you would definitely want a place that is accessible to your needs such as medical facilities, schools, commercial centers, business areas, and even places of recreation. Another factor is the size of the house. Wouldn’t you want the kind of home where every member of your family will be comfortable, where each can have his own personal space, as well as share common areas where the family can spend quality time together?
The idea of playing golf allows you to imagine what other kind of luxury you can have when you live close to a golf course community.
The environment is also another factor to consider because you would definitely want a better quality of life for your family, especially if you have young kids. You would certainly want them to grow in a place that will be conducive to a happy, well-balanced life.
Why Sta. Rosa City is a Golfer’s Paradise

A luxury house and lot for sale in the Philippines is not difficult to find as there are a lot of properties being developed promising Filipino families a luxurious lifestyle. Choosing the right home can be really difficult. On the surface all real estate projects can seem very beautiful. But sometimes advertising masks a substandard real estate project. It is therefore very important to find a developer with a proven track record in ethical real estate development.
Deciding between housing options can be likened to choosing between an Hermes and a Prada. These brands do have certain similarities such as the range of products they offer like luxury bags, wallets, accessories, perfume, clothes, cosmetics and shoes among many others; the materials they use like leather, alligator and python skin for their bags, wallets and shoes. But an Hermes and Prada have marked differences as any luxury bag enthusiast will tell you.
Is Hermes the brand of luxury bags for you?
Hermes has been around since 1837 and their luxury bags are carefully handcrafted. Each bag takes many hours to make backed by an expertise built overtime, so you can be sure that what you get is really special, classic and masterfully made. Nothing less can be expected from this famous French name.
Why Prada luxury bags?
Prada, on the other hand, is Italian-made brand established in 1913. It has also become very popular, gaining for itself a big slice of the luxury market. This is because Prada offers products in limited editions that give buyers unique designs and a sense of exclusivity and privilege. Of course more people can afford a Prada as it is cheaper than an Hermes, and in terms of history and experience, Prada is a younger, less illustrious brand than Hermes.
Selecting the right home gives you a similar experience. Many homebuilders provide what they profess to be quality homes in ideal locations near schools, places of worship, business hubs, shopping centers and other modern conveniences. Real estate developers scramble to offer the best features and amenities, the most secure environment, etc. But it is important for homebuyers to research the history of each community builder, their record of reliability, their corporate culture and philosophy and their general way of dealing in business. A home is a much more important investment than a mere bag so it is incumbent upon homebuyers to put in the time and effort in checking out the company that promises to provide them the lifestyle they long for.
At Portofino Alabang, you can be quite certain that you are going to own a masterpiece. The multi-awarded community is a project of Brittany Corporation, the luxury development subsidiary of Vista Land, known to be the largest and most successful homebuilder in the Philippines. At Portofino Alabang, Brittany offers homebuyers a near authentic experience of European Old World charm with its Italian-themed homes faithfully patterned after the old and luxurious homes of the Italian countryside.
Vista Alabang by Brittany Corporation is the Italian-inspired community of three enclaves: Portofino Heights, Portofino South, and Amore.

The holidays are truly great opportunities for families living in the luxurious houses of Portofino to get their creative juices running and design their homes according to a variety of themes, depending on their tastes and influences. Homes are bedecked with thousands of twinkling lights, cheerful wreaths heavy with tinsel, multicolored balls and ribbons. And of course, for the more traditional, the Christmas star or parol is a nostalgic symbol, beautifully designed with chasing lights and colored capiz shells which actually look like the rose windows of the cathedrals of Europe.
If you are one of the lucky ones who own a home in Portofino there are some practical tips that you may consider to help you prepare for that grand and memorable luxurious Christmas celebration with your special friends and families.
How to celebrate a luxurious Christmas
Start by cleaning and de-cluttering your house. Go through every room and every corner of the house to make sure that everything is spotless. Christmas is a time of joy and new beginnings, the end of a long wait, and therefore the home must be a perfectly clean canvas.
Celebrate a luxurious Christmas in your very own Portofino Home
It is the best time to take an inventory of the Christmas ornaments that you already have. Rummage in your attic for things that you can repurpose, perhaps an old and interesting crystal vase that can hold an elaborate Christmas floral arrangement; an old rocking horse that may be refinished like a carousel horse; garlands that can be redesigned with fresh ribbon, golden pine cones and mistletoe. Sometimes, the most unique trinkets are those that you would find in your own home. Get creative and involve your family in Christmas do-it-yourself projects that would be a great opportunity for family bonding.
Pay special attention to areas that will leave a first and lasting impression, like your main door and your foyer. Since your main door is the first thing that your guests will see, you should choose a tastefully designed Christmas wreath that is proportional to the size of your door. Choose colors for your wreath ornaments that complement the color of your door, which serves as the background for your wreath. Consider a theme such as a rustic design with twigs, a Mediterranean design with vines and branches and imitation grapes and berries. Try country theme with vintage silk flowers, evergreens, multicolored balls and ribbons. How about a white Christmas, with your wreath spray painted with “snow”. The possibilities are endless.
A unifying theme that is both sophisticated and interesting should also be part of your Christmas preparation. Although you certainly have the option do an eclectic design, tasteful and classic Christmas decorating calls for what is more traditional and nostalgic.
As your guests enter your foyer, create a sense of warm welcome with a lush floral arrangement with Christmas ornaments such as bells and harps, consistent with your theme. When setting up your Christmas tree, consider the size and height of the room. A small 5 footer tree will perhaps look inconsequential in a room with a high ceiling. Color themed trees that maintain a few colors in its palette are especially elegant but multicolored trees look more festive, like the Christmas trees of your childhood. Glass and crystal ornaments are great for reflecting lots of brilliant light and are truly luxurious. Faux poinsettia flowers look charming on a green tree. You may also consider the different colored trees– orange, blue and even pink. These can be found in the market. With their unusual colors they can be great conversation pieces especially if changing trees yearly is not an issue. Make your home even more festive by hanging garlands with interesting ornaments that you have picked up from your travels.
The dinner table should not be neglected. Spread a beautiful Christmas mantle on your table, lay doilies as placemats. Use chargers under your Christmas-themed plates for formal Christmas dinners, and consider traditional place settings with name cards artfully folded cloth napkins to match all the table linen. Table runners are a nice touch. Your centerpiece size should depend on how long the table is. Floral arrangements should be narrow and just the right height to not encumber people’s conversations.
The most important thing to remember no matter your tastes and preferences for Christmas decorating, is to ensure a relaxed and convivial atmosphere in your home with the right amount of lighting, soft and traditional Christmas music or more upbeat tunes, a comfortable room temperature, Christmas scents like vanilla, cinnamon or berry for the air and seating, and other important add-ons that you know your family and friends would appreciate.

Dream houses are never one-bedroom condominium units or studio apartments in a crowded area. When people dream, which is basically thinking without boundaries, they think of luxurious houses such as the ones seen in famous television shows. Making such dreams a reality is part of the vision of Brittany Corporation, a real estate developer that creates sophisticated, elegant and high standard communities. This is the reason why all real estate properties owned by this corporation are beyond what are currently being offered by the competition and are perfect for having a country-styled Christmas.

If you ever lived in one of these lovely homes, Christmas is sure to be an exciting time. You can dress up your beautiful house with charming country-styled Christmas decor to achieve a country-themed, shabby chic home. Here are some practical home decorating tips for the holidays that will help you achieve that traditional Christmas look:
● Plan your Christmas decorations ahead of time – it is counterproductive to readily jump-in actual decorating immediately without thinking about how every décor will complement each other. Think about your current home color scheme and work from there, it is best to ensure that your holiday decorative items will match the former to create a harmonious look.
● Be consistent with your theme and color scheme – you need to have one unifying theme for your Christmas decoration to tie everything together. Doing and adding too much or having a bit of everything that you can think of may prove to be disastrous and unappealing in the long run. Rummage through your attic to find old Christmas trim that you can update or refinish for a traditional theme.
● Hang a festive plant basket on your door – Southern homes are known for huge and sturdy main doors so you can highlight this by placing a plant basket that you can fill with various greens and flowers instead of the usual Christmas wreath.
● Place elegant garlands on your columns – wrapping the columns in your home with greeneries or festive garlands will give your house a nostalgic Christmas feel without necessarily making everything look overdone.
The tips above are just simple things that you can consider so that you can fully enjoy and savor your Christmas with your family in your very own country home.
