Tangled Mess

I need new speakers. New wireless speakers!

The computer speakers I’m currently using for my endless tv series marathon (I watch at least one episode of the many series I love) are also being by the kids when they play hubby’s synth. I had it placed below the table where I’m working and the hubby said I got a lot of wires tangled there.

And uhm, yeah, he almost tripped from that one going inside the library where he works 😀

 

Not Enough

Been going to Zumba class for more than two weeks already. I don’t know if I’m losing weight or I need to have diet supplements to lose a bit of weight considering I sweat bullets and by the bucket during our sessions.

I know a bi-weekly hour session is not enough. I still have to pick up my Hoopnotica and sway those pear-shaped (or super rounded) hips to oblivion. I still have to get my groove back and dance like no one is watching. Except that all three kids are on a summer vacation so that is impossible.

Gah! I know being past 30 (hah!) makes me lose the weight at a snail’s pace, if there’s any losing anything at all.

I’ll get there. I know.

We Love Walking

We love walking. I once wrote that walking is one of my simple pleasures. Well, hubby and I do, provided the place has fresh air, has lots of trees and we have something to tide over our thirst and hunger pangs when these make an appearance. Hats and perhaps Trekking Poles to complete our getup and we’re good to go.

My dream walk would be beside a bubbling brook at the foot of a snow-capped mountain with pine and fir trees. I can dream, right? 😀

I know this is far-fetched from the concrete jungle where we live and breath dirty air.

Pagninilay-nilay sa Mahal na Araw

Araw ngayon ng Huwebes, o Maundy Thursday dahil Holy Week.

Alam mo ba na importante pala ang Maundy Thursday dahil ito ang araw ng paglilinis, pagninilay-nilay at pag-reflect sa estado ng ating buhay. Hindi nga ba ang araw na ito ay ginugunita ng mga Katoliko sa  pamamagitan ng paghuhugas ng mga pari sa mga paa ng lay people? Ito ay kagaya ng ginawa noon ni Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad. Ito na patunay na ang pagpapakumbaba at pagsilbi ay parte ng pagiging Diyos ni Hesus.

Sa ating pamumuhay, kailan ba tayo nagsisilbi nang walang hinihintay na kapalit? Kailan ba tayo nagpakumbaba ng kusa? Kailangan pa ba ang matinding dagok sa buhay upang gawin natin yun?

Senakulo

Bukas, ating gugunitain ang pagkamatay ni Hesus sa krus upang maligtas tayo sa ating mga kasalanan. Tayo na ang nagkasala pero Siya pa ang nagsakripisyo?

Saan ka bukas? Ano ang gagawin mo?

Zumba Classes

Finalleh, I’m enrolled in Zumba classes! Woot!

I attended my first ever Zumba classes today. I missed the first session last week because my mommy bloggers friends and I had a day out (or a day-off?).

Verdict: fun, fun, fun. More fun to do it with others than do it at home when I can just sit if I feel tired. Yes, I was able to survive an hour of dancing. I was careful not to drink a lot though since I know I feel a bit pain on the right side of my torso if I drink more than I should.

I feel a bit of pain on the legs, not as painful though when I run.

Can’t wait to go back there on Thursday, woot!
