## 1) Pat’s Putt Indoor Mini Golf

Even if you’ve never tried mini golf, playing with your significant other
can be a fun and interesting experience.
Once you enter the room, you will be greeted by the attractive neon lights that shine in the dark.
Upon entry, you can pay the fees and you’ll be given
A putter and a ball each for you and your partner.
There are more or less 20 layouts, starting from easy to challenging.
You can bet against your date to see who gets to sink the ball in the hole with the least strokes. Loser pays for merienda… or dinner!

# space

When that’s done there are also other games you can play such as:

- giant tictactoe
- giant jenga
- sack throw
- under the table football
- giant "beer" pongg (minus the beer)

# space

With so many things to do for 2 hours,
You and your partner are sure to have a blast!

If you get hungry, you can have snacks from their diner or check out the food court right outside Pat’s Putt!

**Location:** 2/F Tiendesitas, Building B, Pasig.

**Fee:** P499/pax (soft opening rate)

## 2) Decathlon

Decathlon may not be your typical date place, but you definitely can!
After matching with a potential partner on Bumble, we decided to finally meet after 3 weeks of non-stop talking. Since we both knew how to play ping pong, we decided to have our first match at Decathlon! Haha!
No entrance fees except for parking and we played about 2-3 rounds of ping pong and
whoever lost had to buy dinner at Burger King. It was a casual date, nothing extravagant or serious and it was fun!
No expectation really but the goal was to get to know each other and bonding over playing the sport we love.
It is also nice to show your competitive side even on the first date. Bawal mapikon kahit talo. Haha!

# space

Hey if table tennis isn’t your thing, you can try basketball, bow and arrow, or if you guys are looking to buy sports or exercise equipment, then this would be a great way to get to know each other while shopping. :)

7 New Date Ideas You Must Try


![Started My Own Website And You Can Too!](coding.jpg)

It may be hard to believe since websites are known to be expensive.
Of course there are free ones,
but more often than not, they look dead…
they’re lifeless that people wouldn’t want to stay on for long
since they’re not visually appealing…
unless you have a very catchy headline or a gimmick in
your landing page then maybe, they will stay a bit longer.

## What would make them stay?

**Good Design**, **Layout** and **Content**.
but if you go the free route,
expect the design and layout options to be limited.

Even the paid ones are limited…
I actually paid $8 monthly for an upgrade of a website from a free plan
only to abandon it all together a few months later.
Why?

### _1) Because I had to do everything from scratch._

Although there were templates, they were complicated and not user friendly.
I had a hard time making each page, putting the footers,
adding other elements, and determining which settings, affect which page.
The website creation itself took most of my time when
I should’ve been focusing on content creation that could’ve generated sales.

### _2) It took me 5 days at least to finish the website_

And the result wasn’t even that nice!
It was a challenge to replicate the sample website they had on there,
which was so frustrating because,
I’ve already poured out all my website making skills in that one website and it didn’t
even achieve the look I wanted and the result I was going for.
In the end I wasted Time, Energy and Money for nothing.

## Moral Lesson?

If it’s not your forte, just give the task to someone else who lives and breathes website creation…. or whatever it is you want to achieve.

If only I had known of [acosta.codes](https://www.acosta.codes) (view his personal portfolio) who can make the website of my dreams come to life...but alas...

## All Hope Is Not Lost

I have my own website now… as you can see since you’re reading this…
And what’s nice is I also don’t have to pay for monthly subscriptions unlike in most website creating platforms.
It was a one time payment and the only thing I had to pay yearly was the domain…
as with all domains… at least the actual website was one less thing to worry about.

I designed the layout on Canva,
from templates I saw on there too.
I just searched for landing page designs,
chose the one that appealed to me,
changed some elements to my liking…
and exactly as promised…
Mr. Alvin Acosta made it come to life…
And in just 3 days too… compared to my DIY website of 5 days!

# space

So friend, let me ask you?
Do you want a website that you actually like
In terms of design, layout and content…
that can also deliver the results you are aiming for…
at a very affordable and below industry price of P5,000?
If you’re answer is Yes,
click [HERE](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alvin-acosta/) to get in touch through his linkedIn account now!

P.S. He is only taking a maximum of 20 people
for this offer. Once the maximum number of people is reached,
he will increase the price. **So hurry and take advantage of this
Limited Offer.**

If you love selfies, you’re in for a treat!
This Selfie Studio comes with professional photography equipment
Like lights, camera, props, different backgrounds, and a remote for self timer
that is sure to level up your selfie game!

# space

Taking the selfie itself takes some getting used to since the camera is in front while the mirror is on the left side. It’s a little challenging to position yourself from time to time.
Nakakahiya pa magpose… haha!
But after a few tries, you’ll get the hang of it.

# space

Shots that may seem awkward or weird in reality can actually look amazing in photos, so just have fun and explore different poses and angles.
Should you run out of artistic shot ideas, they have pegs that you can get inspo from on the side so you need not worry.

# space

Take your whole barkada, your pets, your jowa, your family, or kapitbahay to this selfie studio
and make memories that come out in printed film strips, polaroid or post cards.
Soft copies can be sent to you so you can print the photos that didn’t make it to the cut!

# space

The experience itself is interesting since this selfie studio isn’t really a thing until now.

The venue is right before Valle Verde Country Club, across Ministop and they have parking too!
