Busy Days & Gratefulness

Thursday, January 28, 2010

Oh...my...Gawd!!! The week has been quite hectic!!! I love it!!! Hahahaha, I just love the adrenaline when you're rushing to do one thing, then another!

My previous post on the fear of swimming and submerging myself underwater...well, i'm still getting used to it...but thanks to F & A...I can now swim..well, somewhat!!! I still get panicky when I can't touch the ground with my feet. Still need some getting used to...today was my second day!

We went for a few minutes yesterday...damn, the pool was packed!!! of course, we went to the "Wuss Pool", that's what I call it because it's NOT Olympic-sized...the pool for real swimmers is on the other side, which I shall not go to, hehehehe!

Well, the first 20 minutes, I was just too panicky and fidgety, but thanks to F & A's patience and getting me all comfortable with submerging myself in the water, they thought me how to float and waddle around the pool...

Once I got the hang of it, I started swimming...woot!

We went again this morning, but it was hot and sunny...damn hell, we got sunburnt!!! Well, as A says, "Better to be thin and dark, rather than fair and overweight!!!" LOL...so true!!! So, with all this in mind, I'm gonna start practicing the art of swimming, as even on the second day, I feel scared...hmmmph!!!

I shall swim my way into fitness...hahahaha, if only!!! I can't even do a lap without gasping for air and swallowing water!!! Arrrggghhhh...I thought I could avoid it, but there's no way, man...swallowing water is a must when you're learning (says Sifu F)... :/

Well, if I...a 23-year old girl can learn to swim...YOU (whoever that can't swim for nuts) can too!!! Amen!!!

Again, I would like to thank God for not letting me drown and finding the drive to learn something I've feared my whole life...I don't even know how I got the urge to learn swimming...I never even thought about it...just came out of nowhere, and when F suggested we go swimming, it was an opportunity!!! So yay, thank you God!!!

Thank you F & A for having the patience for teaching this doofus with such grace and sincerity!!! Love you guys...of course, you will live on as "The people who thought G how to swim!!!"...such good teachers you are, heheheheh!!! *Bows to F & A as sign of respect*

Ok so that's done...now for many days now i've been going back and forth with A to this office and that office to submit and correct the paperwork for the trip...we're damn fuckin tired, so I do hope our time and effort do not go to waste, and that this trip WILL (by hook or by crook) happen!!! Amen!!!

And yes, who could forget...my assignment presentation the next 2 weeks, and of course...my thesis!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!

Just give me a mug of strong java...and i'll be good to go!!!

May the force be with you and me! Aiyaiyaiyaiyaiyai (say it like Xena, warrior princess, and fadeout!)...

I'm Ready, I'm Ready, I'm Ready...

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

I'm gonna start something i've dreaded for years...maybe my whole life!

I'm gonna...learn to swim!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so fuckin' scared...i've tried learning a few times, trust me...but the fear, oh God the fear of water getting into my nose and mouth...like the time when I was 3-4 (YES I DO REMEMBER!!!)...I was on a beach...my dad held my hand while we went into the sea...the shallow part was still above my head i guess...or maybe it wasn't that shallow, but I ended up submerged in the water, and yes...water filled my mouth and nose...

Till this day, i am fearful...as I tried to learn to swim throughout the years, I still get the image of struggling under the water, and of course...i fear i would drown!

But you know what? There's no turning back since i made this decision...i already bought the swimming gear needed, and i'm not gonna let my spending money on this go to waste. At least my friends will teach me...I hope it happens, coz my cousin tried and failed, my grandpa tried and failed and so did my aunt...but maybe it was because I wasn't ready to face the fear (at that time)???

Well whatever it is...I'm ready, I'm ready (singing it the way Spongebob does!!!)

Just hope I wake up early, LMFAO (I'm laughing, but i'm still scared ok? Hahahaha...fuckin' serious about learning to swim, so I hope the drive helps)...coz I suck at waking up early! It's like the alarm never works for me anymore...or maybe it's because I sleep like 2 hours before I have to wake up, heheheh!

Oh, and about the concert...the concert...sigh, let's save THAT for another post, or maybe never! I'll give the organizer a C+...but this is me being generous!

Till the next post,

Toodlez, bitches!!!

UPDATE: It's not gonna happen today coz my teacher couldn't make it...but it'll happen by this week...aaahhhhhhhh (still scared!)
