Here I go again

Growing up I don't remember liking anything sporty. In school, PE class was one of my not so favorite subject. I was living a sedentary lifestyle, big time. Which leads to me to being an over weight teenager, thought I was happy about it until I came to my senses. Not that it's a bad thing, but it can be, eventually. So I started getting physical. Made drastic changes and stick with it, no matter how frustrating it can be sometimes. That's the time when I became a sports fan. I don't play anything sporty though just to make it clear. Just that athletes and players, they're a source of inspiration to me and of course to many. Seeing them living a healthy, active lifestyle, I also want to be that way though I know they're beyond fit and it's impossible for me to be like them, LOL!

Watching them play through TV gives me thrill. If I can only watch them live, it would be so much better! Yeah right...when could that possibly happen? When can I grab a Chicago Bulls tickets? A Boston Celtics tickets perhaps or New York Knicks tickets. That would be awesome, I might faint LOL! It's not happening, not in a million years but I'd keep on wishing, who knows? If am not getting a game passes, concerts tickets will do at least.

Just my imagination....

joyride

60miles/hour.. how's that? Not bad for a newby like me huh? I'm so overjoyed over the fact that finally I can drive. The steering wheel and manual gears are now my new found best friends. I could have taken pictures of my entire driving course but I would have made the instructor impatient even more, lol! In all fairness, they were the best. It was cool, fun, and easy for me because of their efficient teaching. If I know, they wanted to yell at me so badly and say the word focus, focus, focus! Thanks guys!

The road I will travel yet is long and hard. For it's called life. Life with many twist and turns, ups and downs, left and right sign, detours and roadblocks. But I'm going to enjoy it anyway. I'll switch the power on, clutches and accelerator ready... head's up straight... bring on the ride!

all keyed up

Yes I am! Finally I enrolled myself to a driving school(ABC Aerostar, the only driving school with branches nationwide..lol!) last week. I availed their 10-day course and last Monday was my first fun and freaky day. I drove 3 kilometers for the first 30 minutes of the session, t'was the quickest 30 minutes of my life..LOL!

I wonder how it's gonna be like up later? Hmmm... can't wait for the day when I can call myself a certified... DRIVER... (whatta dream!!!)

That was fun, gotta run... see ya around folks.. need to warm up here.. LOL!

dito na me!

Yikes, it's been decades! Did you know I was dreading to face my blogs? Can't even look at them much more signing in to my accounts. My reasons are shallow, you need not know lol! Or you should, maybe. Let's just say I have to go out on my own so I can find my way back home.(echos!) Seriously, I mean it when I took a break. I need to forget everything about my blogs so I can remember it again. I paused so I can resume... and play once more.

So I guess it's time... the firefly is back!

trying on new things

It's so summer here in our place, the sun is so cruel most of the days. I often see families, group of friends and everyone else going to the park or the beach. They all have their own thing this summer, how about me? I wish I can travel just as my thoughts do, to be where I wanna be and be with whomever I like to be.. yeah right! On a serious note, will enroll myself into driving. This is it, I will have my driver's license soon. The thought of it gives me chill, lol! So how about you? It's nice to get yourself into something too. My cousin is frustrated to learn piano chords, you like it as well?

Or maybe you do know how to play piano chords but does it sound good? I mean, piano accompaniment is a different thing, a tough one. There's always room for improvement, when it comes to playing piano chords, there's now a step by step guide developed by a skilled pianist and it's available online. Plus, compared to other piano lessons you know, this online course is way cheaper and easier. Playing beautiful music is just a few clicks away I suppose. After all, there should not be an end to learning and it's always fun to try something new.

It's nice to break free from things that choke you up and consume your time. It's great to know you can actually live without them and be at peace. To realized they are just some piece of crap that makes you unproductive. Am talking about my online games, finally, had the nerve to control them! For months, been living in a fantasy world where I'm tending my dream farm and building my dream pad. Urgggg! I've had enough..yoko nah..break nata!!!


I will not hate FB for introducing me my X's. I guess the problem is with me. I didn't balance my time well and wasn't able to set my priorities. That is, I'm online because of my blogging duties. I have to blog and share stories. Gotta speak and gotta listen. To hear and to be heard.

Now am back! You'll see more of me, and I'm serious...hahaha! (I hope) Kinda like rekindling my love for writing and though I won't say goodbye to FB completely, at least... space man lang. :D

first

(post for the year)

How's the firefly nowadays? It's been almost a month since I posted something here, pretty much enjoying my blogging holidays huh? Thought of extending it but dang,.. I miss it na!

So...anyway...
The year 2009 ended with lots of smiles and laughter, thank you Jah! We had a successful convention, full of encouragements and love. Caught up with old familiar faces which I haven't seen in a while. Received the most anticipated Evian gift from sissy, it surely rocks! And the best part was am able to spent time with the people who really mattered.

Now here comes another year... Gosh!.. another year to blog about. See you guys for that.

Hmmm... wondering what else to share? Guess would have to keep this short and sweet. By the way, I strongly believe that in order for me to be active in blogging again, I need to part ways with Facebook, LOLZ! What am I saying???

Jew

(that's me) took the quiz "What Kind of Soul are You" via facebook and got the result:

Warrior Soul

You're a strong person and sometimes seen as intimidating. You don't give up. You're committed and brave. Truly adventuresome, you are not afraid of going to battle. Extremely protective of loved ones, you root for the underdog. You are picky about details and rigorous ...in your methods. You also value honesty and fairness a great deal. You can be outspoken, intimidating, headstrong, and demanding. You're a hardliner who demands the best from themselves and others. Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul

flush it!

Surely many of us wants to take care of the environment. But damage is done already and it'll take real effort, discipline, and time to see changes. What's your share in saving the planet? I think one great way is conserving water, which we often take for granted. We may not realize it but everyday we're wasting so much water through our toilets and our sinks. In an attempt to educate people about this, the WHO declared the 19th day of November as the World Toilet Day. They want people to learn how to save water, even providing ways to do so. For instance, a devise called Dual Flush toilet conservation kit.

Such dual flush conversion kit will turn your toilet into a dual flush, thus enhancing the performance of your old ones. It acts like a low flow toilets, even saving more water than costly HET toilets. Think of it, if an average person flushes a toilet about 2,500 times a year, upon using this device, he and his family can actually save 49 gallons of water a day or a swimming pool of water in a year! That's enough to support crops and farms isn't it? Imagine how it can help a lot of people all over. If you want to find out more about the Dual Flush device and where you can get it, just click the links.
