I needed some motivation lately. It seems that I am lagging off again with my exercises. I haven't been exerising since Friday because I was working twenty hours for Saturday and Sunday morning and I am very tired once I got home. I don't know what happened. I wish I could keep up with my workouts.
It seems that I am very lax again. I just don't know why my motivation had waned down. I am very frustrated about the current happenings. It seems that handling and juggling two jobs on a weekend had altered the flow of my exercises. I am really out of gas everytime weekend had come by. I wish I could continue working out but working twenty hours for two days had given me some not quite a valid reason to stop going to the gym. At least I could have came back to do the cardio.
But on the otherhand I am exercising everyday starting from Monday to Thursday doing my routines then after that off for three days because I am working twenty hours for two days during the weekends. But it seems that I felt so bummed out during the weekends when I am not at the gym. I fel that I am fat during those days. I feel so disgusted about myself for letting this to happen.
I promised myself to not go back to the old ways and to not be fat anymore. Although the process is slow I hope this goals will be realized after all even though there were a lot of challenges and setbacks along the way. I am saddened about it but I know it will happen and I have to ready myself for the consequences of my lax actions. I am just ashamed of myself for not living to my promises and goals. I am very very embarrassed about it.
There is nobody who is responsible for my actions but myself alone so I have to blame myself for letting it to happen. I am just stunned for the lack of motivation lately. I wish I could stop working on the weekends so that I could focus for my exercise goals but I can't because I still hav eto save money for the rainy days.
What I will do right now is probably double my efforts on the days that I could come to the gym especially Monday until Thursdays then maybe sneak in during the weekends if there is an opportunity. Maybe that will work for me. I know I still have a long way towards living healthy and I am working out my best to live up with the expectations. I know I can do it and I hope I will. Please help me Lord.......
I thought I am a perfectionist but it seems that I am not. Oh my God, I think I am obsessed to be thin and I hope I will not resort to do it in extremes or else I will be having a great deal of problems. Lucas was not been responding to my texts so I think he is very busy lately. I wish him well as well for working so hard. God will hopefully help him fo rhis struggles. I know he has some personal issues and I wanted to help him but he is so aloof in sharing his personal struggles. I know he has a big problem right now that is why he is not responding to my calls. I really need his motivation.... he makes me going.... like the Energizer bunny. Hahaha.
Despite of my dilemma I will try my best to keep going.... I hope Lucas will just tell me what had happened to him. I am really concerned not hearing from him. But anyways, I will continuemy exercise routines and continue on my goals to lose weight. I am crossing my finers to fulfill all my objectives in the future although how far-fetche dthey were. Hahaha. So much for the nilly-nally let's get serious here.... now! Ciao guys!

Ice Queen Yuna Kim Dethroned
I haven't watched the Olympics Ladies Figure Skating yet because I am at work right now. I had it recorded in my DVR from NBC Channel 220 and I will intend to watch it tonight when I get home because I am off tonight. I was devastated to hear and know that my favorite skater Yuna Kim of South Korea was dethroned by an unknown Russian figure skater debutting for this year's Olympics.
I have read from the news that the decisions was controversial and that the judges were not that impartial considering that the Olympics was being held in Russia and that the Iceberg Skating Rink was teeming with Russians cheering for the Russian skater of course. They say that the judgment was rigged in favor of the Russian skater. I pity Yuna for she was the victim of this biased judging in the ladies' skating programs. I think they need to renew the judging system for a more transparent judging decisions and have the result posted rather that keeping it confidential because tongues will wag and people will clamor. It's always been an issue even in the pasts and the skating federation was been marred with some controversies in the pasts.
Yuna is a very elegant ice skater and she can put you into a trance everytime she skates. I was rooting for her to carry on with her legacy before she retires but because of the unfair judging system in the ladies' figure skating contest in the Olympics she was been a hapless and unwilling victim by it. Despite of what had happened people were complaining that it was manipulated by the Russian judges despite of the Russian skater who tripped. And that the Korean girl had skated with feelings, artistry, and soulful emotions bringing her audience to absorbed her story and a new fantasy. They say she really skated well without any mistakes and with superb techniques gliding on the ice enthralling the audience. Unlike the Russian skater who fell once, used a wrong edge of the skate, and delivered a not so par program exhibition. It was really devastating to know about it.
Despite of what had happened Yuna did not defended her quest for a back-to-back gold and went home only with a silver medal. She was calm and quiet aboutthe result and I heard her skating union had filed complaints already to IOC. Despite of what had happened her legacy of being the ice queen will stay forever in my heart and her fans. I am just disappointed of what the corrupt Russian had done for this sports. I will be seeing the video tonight and will scrutinize what really had happened. Thank God I recorded it in my DVR. If the judging was rigged and manipulated then shame on the International Skating Union for allowing it and to the host nation Russia for tainting the popularity of the sport. This will be the olympics that cannot be forgotten because of this controversy.
Indeed, Adelina Sosnitkova went home with the gold, Yuna Kim for the silver medal, and Carlina Kostner for the bronze medal but the real question still remains if it is a valid judging decision. Not knowing of the transparency of the judgment results will entail a lot of maddening scrutiny of the public. Needless to say, tongues will be wagging excessively around the world and the reputation of the ISU and IOC will be under the microscope again despite it was been heavily damaged many times in the past. Whether a damage control will be done or not maybe it will be too late now that the results were made and the criticisms were been spilled and broken into the public eye. It was a very controversial day today in Sochi I guess.

Going Back To Theory Teaching
Temporarily, I'm back again at teaching theory. I just don't know why they schedule the theory classes for Batch 44 on my clinical days. Instead of me getting paid for 8 hours I am getting paid for 5.5 hrs because lectures were only alotted for 6 hours. It's unfair!
Imagine me driving to Torrance from Hollywood and spend my gas and just paid for 5.5 hours instead of my regular 8 hours clinical? I am so bummed out about this but what could I do, this stingy owner of the school couldn't be budged. Well, whatever!
Well, anyway, it's only for this week and next week we will be back again to the clinicals at Hancock Park Rehab. Sad to say though that I am undertimed this pay period but anyway..... just this pay period and that's it. I will protest next time. As if I have the guts..... hehehe.
I mean I don't have a problem teaching theory as long as we were getting paid well but it seems that the school owner wanted to rob us with our times and he doesn't even care if he will be in trouble legally. Imagine spending our gas coming to school to teach and then prepare prior to the class? That actually needs more or less than two hours to do. But it doesn't happen in this school. Nada.....zilch!
We explained it before to him in one of our monthly meetings but he would not change his narrow minded brain.... it was probably fried. He told us that that's the time alloted by the Board of Nursing to teach the nursing students so he has to follow the regulations...... like we have an option. We also told him that other schools give instructors two hours preparation time making their hours to 8 but he just don't budge even though we already cornered him.
He even deducted our thirty minutes break from the allotted 6 hours teaching time making the theory hours to only 5.5 hours. He is outright stingy..... selfish.... and greedy. I hope Department of Labor knows this kind of abuse to the employees, and he will be in big trouble. He really doesn't want to give incentives to us..... to his employees. But whatever!
It seems that I just don't care anymore because if we complain there's no action anyway so I'll just don't do anything and keep myself mum and insensitive. Of course, I am bursting with extreme anger but what could I do? I just leave it to God that he will guide and enlighten the school owner to treat us right and not downrightly abuse us. I mean.... what is he doing with his millions of money? He won't be bringing and carrying that when he die.
I don't know.... I am just full of complaint's this month. It seems that I am extremely fussy and complaining a lot. What do you think? It's not yet full moon ah.... I am a pain in the butt, right? Hehehe. I just don't have anything to blog maybe, that's why I wrote all my complaints and dissatisfactions here. Kinda venting out my emotions. How unruly, right. But thanks for reading anyway, I did not mean to cause any troubling ruckus but just enjoying blogging here. Hahaha. Have a nice day!

Just Venting Out
So far, I am kind of confused right now. I am still working and today is my last day then off for a two day off again. I've been doing it for a long time but it seems that I am still in a haze and doesn't know my schedule. I am pathetic..... maybe I have dementia already.
My life has been always hectic and I didn't have any idea idea what have happened because they always happened so quickly that I tend to forget them anyway as the days elapsed. I am a person who doesn't want to be nostalgic with the events in my life and if that happens then I might be another person.
Since I live dher in America my life was been about work and nothing else. I have to save money for the rainy days. Keeping up with two jobs is not easy and I have to be very active with it because I am still helping my five little nephews and nieces in my homeland going to school. It's still a long way for me because they're still in elementary.
Well, I just cannot left them out nowhere because my brother has no job and besides he is illetirate and had not finished any college. So basically I am the one who will be responsible for the kids education for that's the only one I can give to them in order to succeed in life. Then it will be their problem later on if they would not strive hard in their studies. They were lucky because I am still here to support them.
That's my plight as a very charitable uncle. That's why I remained to be single because I don't want to make my life even more complicated. It's been complicated already and I just don't want to add more complications to make it even more complicated. Yes, it is good to have my own family but the responsibility will be enormous have I make another one. My brother is to blame for it because it was his responsibility in the first place to send his kids go to school. I hope he'll realize that, how I sacrificed myself for them.
But the sad thing is they don't realized it. As long as they can get as much as they could from me it is okay for them. And honestly it really sucks for me. Well, maybe that's my fate.... to sacrifice for the sake of the family. I hope my brother will realize how hard it is for me. I hope that someday they will be enlightened how much pressure it is to shoulder those kids education to secure their future. It is very hard.... I am telling you.
Albeit, what I have to do is just suck it up and swallow the responsibility. To hel with tradition. To hell with family. To hell with me. Honestly, I am sick and tired of this shit already. I am sick and tired of it. But I have to lose the game for the sake of the kids. Actually, there is no game here.... it's just that I am really stressed out about this. I am so pathetic.... I guess. I know I can solve this but I am not brave enough to face the consequences because I know it will just backfire on me in the end. And I'm the one to get blamed. I am helpless.......
I am helpless.... and nobody can help me. I am on my own on this struggle. And I leave it all to prayers. Despite of all this struggles I still leave my fate to God. That's how it is. Leave it to God and He will sustain me for this. Hope I will stood tall amongst the hardships...... I have to or else I will lose the battle. This journey is really tough and I have to toughen my guts to face the aweful truth. Yeah.... I have to!

Update Of My Gym Workout
Sa ngayon ay medyo okay na po ang aking pakiramdam. Nawala na po ang konting pamamaga sa tuwing ako ay pumupunta sa gym. Medyo nasanay na rin po ang aking katawan sa pag-eehersisyo. Salamat naman at hindi na masakit ang aking mga muscles palagi. Ang stretchings po ay isang malaking tulong sa pagpahid ng sakit at pamamaga sa katawan kaya palagi ko po itong ginagawa bago at matapos akong mag-exercise.
Sa ngayon, nami-maintain ko na rin po ang aking weight at medyo gumaan na rin ang aking pakiramdam palagi. Hindi na rin po ako stress gaya ng dati. Feeling ko po kasing mataba ako pag hindi ako pumunta sa gym para magpawis at kumilos. Iba talaga ang pakiramdam ko pag nakapag-exercise po ako. Feeling ko po... I'm always on top of the world. Parang high po ako.... hahaha... Ewan ko ba.
Sa tuwing ako ay bumabalik sa gym naaaninag ko ang aking sarili at ang aking mga goals na na-setup. Di ko nga akalain na mag-lose ako ng timbang nang ganun kadali. Kung ano man ang nangyari, nagpapasalamat ako sa aking Panginoon sa pag-inspire sa akin na mag-exercise at kay Lucas po na naghimok sa aking bumalik sa gym. Napakabilis po ng pangyayari pero ang una ko talagang naisip ay talagang sulit na sulit po ang aking pagpapawis. At ito ay aking ipagpatuloy lamang hanggang maabot ko ang aking ideal weight. Siguro ako na ang pinaka-masayang tao dito sa mundo kung mangyari iyon.
Oo nga, di biro ang magbawas ng timbang. Dadaan ka muna sa butas ng karayom bago mo makuha ang mga ito. Sa ngayon, nag-umpisa na po akong magbuhat ng weights para mag-bulk up ng muscles at magkaroon ng lakas o power. So far okay naman ang aking pag-eensayo. Kaso marami talagang sagabal sa buhay. May sakit, mayroong mga injury, may mga bagay na hindi maintindihan, pressure sa trabaho at iba-iba pang mga stressors. Ang gout ko po ay palaging nag-bo-bother din sa akin. Ah ewan talaga.
Nitong mga nakaraang araw lang, ay umalma na naman ang bwisit na gout na ito sa aking kaliwang paa. Masakit po talaga.... kung alam nyo lang. Hindi po ako makapaglakad ng maayos at the same time makapag-exercise. Kaya naudlot po ang aking pag-gi-gym. Parang nadaganan ang aking didbdib ng isang napakalaking elepante. Nakakatakot! Hindi biro ang may-gout talaga. Matagal po ang recovery at ito ay nakasagabal sa aking mga routines at sa trabaho.
Kaya nag-weights muna ako hanggang okay na ang lahat para makatakbo ulit. Ang aking mga thighs at triceps ay kasalukuyan kong pinag-tu-tuonan ng pansin dahil kailangan ko ito sa aking pagtatakbo. At the same time ang aking pecs ay gusto ko ring magkamasel kasi po sa mga taba sa may bandang ilalim po ay nakakainis tingnan. Hehehe. So far, di na ako hinahapo sa pag-akyat sa hagdan at pagbuhat ng weights. Proud po ako sa aking sarili. Kahit anong mangyari I wont budge po sa aking pag-eensayo.
May mga time po na tinatamad akong pumunta sa gym pero palagi ko pong pinipilit ang aking sarili at kung minsan po ay kinakaladkad ko na po ang aking sarili para makapag-ensayo po. At aking napansin po na kapag nasa gym na po ako at naumpisahan ko na po ang aking mga routines lalo na po ang warm-ups at stretchings ay bigla pong nawala ang aking pagkatamad sa halip ay ginanahan pa po akong mag-exercise. Kataka-taka po pero yan po ang totoo. Ganun po ba yun? Nagtataka lang po ako.
At least sa ngayon po ay tuloy-tuloy na po ito. Sana po palagi na lang ganito para naman maging healthy na ako. Ayoko na pong bumalik sa depression at tumaba uli. Ayoko na pong hinahapo sa tuwing ako ay aakyat sa hagdan. Ayoko na pong magkaroon ng low self-esteem dahil po mataba po ako. Ayoko pong magkasakit pag tumanda ako. Ayoko po ng ganun. Gusto ko pong maging healthy at hindi magkaroon ng komplikasyon balang araw. Nag-iisa lang po ako at ayoko pong mamatay ng maaga.
Ang nakakatuwa po kasi pag pumunta ako ng gym ay nalilibang po ako. Nalilibang po akong manood sa ibat-ibang klaseng tao. May mataba, may payat, may maskulado, mayroon namang over ang muscles, may guapo, mayroon namang pangit, may ubod naman ng guapo, at may ubod naman ng pangit. Hahaha. Kaya expert na po akong mangilatis ng mga pisikal na anyo ng tao. Hahaha. Ang hindi ko lang po nakikilatis ay ang mga ugali ng mga tao kasi po hindi ko po sila nakakausap palagi para ma-judge kung anong klaseng tao sila. Pero minsan may mga tao talagang nagbibigay sa akin ng masama at mabuting impresyon. Although hindi po reliable yun kasi alam ko na sa umpisa ay hindi mo talaga ma-judge ang isang tao sa iisang aspeto lamang.
Gaya ko po, ang unang impresyon sa akin ng tao ay suplado dahil po palagi po akong nakasimangot at hindi ngumingiti. Pero deep inside po ng simangot na yan ay isang mahiyain at napaka-reserve po na tao. Timid lang po ako sa umpisa pero pag nakilala mo na kinalaunan ay mapatawa ka sa aking mga on the spot na jokes na hindi ko alam kung saan galing. May talent ata ako sa mga jokes... lalo na ang mga green jokes? Hay naku mangisay ka sa sahig sa katatawa. Talaga...... hehehe.
So far, yan lang po ang updates ng aking pag-gi-gym. Palagi ko po kayong i-a-update so just hang on there. Malapit na po ang second forty days at malapit na rin pong ma-compare ko ang aking hitsura o srili from last time na nag-post ako ng aking pictures. Ingat po kayo at mag-a-update-tan na naman tayo sa uulitin. Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat dyan. Salamat po sa lahat!

Annoying Experiences Of The Day
Well, it seems that I have nothing else to blog here. My mind is a little boggly right now. There seems to be a void that I don't know blocking my thoughts on what to blog here right now. I am just trying to type what my thoughts are right now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Today, I've been to my clinical rotations with the MACC students at Los Angeles Community Hospital (my other part time job). I was pissed off at one or two students who were not really learning their stuff and their drugs as well as care plans. I understand it was their first day today (normally they start on a Saturday and ends on a Sunday) but at least they have to study and know their drugs before preparing it. It was very irritating to see students coming in my clinical rotation not learning from the things they are doing or even at least know the basic principles behind the things that they are doing to their patients.
They were at the facility for more than three months now and for sure they already know their routines. I was surprisingly agitated today because it seems that they were not learning form this whole experience. All they learn is to talk and play with their phones, and that's it! That's why they were exposed in the facility for them to observe and establish their routines but until now it seems that they don't know how to look and identify their drugs, which really made me mad today.
They don't have the initiative to at least study and identify the drugs that they are preparing. I was totally concerned about this type of students because they will kill their patients in the future. They just wanted me to point them the bottles and the packets of the drugs so that they can just pour or punch them on the medicine cups. I asked them, "What if I wasn't there by your side? Can you identify the drug?" She just looked at me blankly and brushed me off. I was pissed and just held my composure. If not I will smack her on the face. Grrr! I told them, "Not all the time that I am by your side, so you have to get used to the fact that you needed to be on your own someday." Aaaah!
Another student was trying to manipulate me today. She asked me if she can leave early tomorrow at around 1100H because it's her daughter's birthday. I told her, "Your clinical duty start's at 0700H (sometimes you come in late.) then it ends at 1530H. If you'll leave early then you'll short with four hours?" Technically, their student handbook says that if they were to undertime they will be marked absent and will make it up for eight hours. And that's your standards according to the California Board of Nursing. "I did not set that standards", I told them. "And besides you all know that in the first place.", I concluded.
I told her to review her student handbook and tell me what she knows about it. And she told me that I am not very considerate about her plight. I told her, "Before you sign up in the nursing program you all know and agreed that you have to complete ceratin hours to complete your program and if you were short of those hours you need to make it up until you completed the total maximum hours required by the course. And you all know that." And then she still continued to jabber quietly byherself. I did not mind her after that. If she's not that condescending to me I moght have considered her plea but showing me that boastful attitude, well that's what she deserves. I don't care if it is her birthday or someone elses. Grr!
The nursing board was always strict about their clinical hours if it is executed appropriately and accurately and that if found out that the student and the instructor were manipulating the hours the instructor will be stripped of his/her nursing license and the school will also be penalized big time. I told her that during their orientation it was also dicussed to them. And I also told the group (I was already angry at that time) that I don't want to lose my hard earned license just because of a lame reason that the student manipulated me to not follow the nursing board's policy. And there was silence after that....... Oh how I long for that silence.
They knew that I was already extremely mad and that was the first time they saw me getting mad at them. It's really difficult to be extra nice to them because they will start manipulating the instructors and have him/her bend the rules which they will eventually abuse and not respect the instructor. I strongly oppose that idea and I already warned them about it atthe outset. Hopefully they will behave appropriately and professionally in the future. Haist....
Now, I am trying to keep my distance at them and set a gap or limit between them because if I am super nice at them they will not respect me and they will manipulate me to succumb to their pleadings. And I don't want that to happen because I have to protect my license as well as my life, too. They just don't know how much sacrifices I have been in order to be professional and successful and reache dthe summit of my academic ladder. They just don't know that , I guess, and they just don't care. (Sad feeling.) I guess, as long as their whims were granted fully, they still don't care.
But hey, amidst the gloomy clouds in the skies the sun is still continuously shining brightly so I just focused on my goals and have them achieved fruitfully in the future. These student's issues in my clinical job was just a minor one that will put me to test my ability to decide well. I mean we have a responsibility to ourselves, our families, and our country that is why as professionals we have to act and uphold our individual tasks as a professional. The world is a big stage and each one of us has it's own roles. Act it appropriately as intended. So I can say that we have to always make a prudent decisons of our actins in order to bask on our success and victories in life someday. Take care!

Pride Of The Philippines In Sochi Olympics
Ang ika-22nd Winter Olympics ay kasalukuyang idinaraos sa Sochi, Russia at ito ay matagumpay naman sa kasalukuyan. Salamat naman sa matinding seguridad na ipinataw dito ng mga Russians at international organizers. Ako po ay natutuwa naman dahil sa wakas ay napansin din ang isang Filipino male figure skater na si Michael Christian Martinez, isang 17 anyos na batang lalaki na galing ng Muntinlupa City, na sumabak sa larong ito na bihirang makita sa isang tropical country na gaya ng Pilipinas. Siya ang kauna-unahang figure skater na sumabak sa Winter Olympics na galing bansang Pilipinas at galing din sa isang south east asian nation.
Sa umpisa ako po ay nabighani sa talento at galing ni Michael Christian Martinez dahil sa mga artistic movements nya sa kanyang routines gaya ng mga spins, jumps, at pati na rin ang kanyang flexibility and artistry na masasabing pinaka-matindi batay sa kanyang edad and maturity. I've been campaigning for donations for him kasi po sya ay isang independent athlete at ang Philippine government ay hindi po tumutulong sa kanyang pag-eensayo and trainings lalo na po sa mga financial matters ng kanyang laro especially paying the coaches and buying his costumes and expensive skates. (Isa pong napaka-mahal na laro ang figure skating if you all know it.) Kawawa po sya kasi isinangla po ng mommy nya ang kanilang bahay para lang maabot ni Michael ang kanyang pinakamimithing pangarap na makapaglaro sa Winter Olympics matapos ma-qualify sya last year sa Nebelhorn Trophy Cup na ginanap sa Oberdorf,Germany.
Madami na po ang napagdaanan ni Michael, since he started skating at the age of 8 years old, pero hindi po sya natinag sa mga challenges at sacrifices na nangyayari along the way. Marami na rin po syang napanalunang mga medals at trophies sa mga competitions na kanyang sinalihan maging local or worldwide competitions. Buo pa rin ang kanyang paniniwala at masigasig po syang nag-pa-practice araw-araw. Sa halip hinarap nyang malakas ang loob ang mga problema, balakid, hadlang, mga paghihirap, at lalo pa nyang pinagbuti ang kanyang pag-eensayo. Kahit may asthma sya, hindi ito naging hadlang sa pagtupad ng kanyang mga pangarap. Sa halip pinagkuhanan pa nya ito ng lakas para sya ay maging matagumpay sa larangan ng figure skating.
Sabi ng mga commentators sa TV malaki po ang posibilidad at potential ni Michael na maging successful and celebrated figure skater in the future dahil po sa kanyang angking galing, talento, at talino. Within a small amount of time he mastered the craft of the sport with grace and finesse as evidenced by his rawness in presenting his program. Madali po syang matuto at umintindi sg mga pangaral sa kanya ng kanyang mga coaches. At sinasabi din nila na sya ay maging isang malaking potential winner sa hinaharap. Oh di ba..... nakakataba ng puso ang mga comments na ito? At sana after the Olympics tutulungan po si Michael sa kanyang mga pangangailangan lalo na sa tulong pinansyal ng mga taong may simpatiya sa kanya. (Isa na ako doon sa mga naniniwala sa kanyang kagalingan.) At malamang sa 2018 Winter Olympics na gaganapin sa Pyeongchang, South Korea ay magkakaroon tayo ng pinaka-aasam na gintong medalya dahil sa napaka-exceptional na batang ito.
Sa Sochi nag-skate sya sa short program ng makabagbag damdaming "Romeo and Juliet" at napaka-emotional, artistic, at napaka-expressive po ang kanyang presentation na lalong ikinabilib ng mga taga-media. Ang kanyang mga spins ay exceptional at ang kanyang mga jumps ay napakataas at pag na-polish po ito ay lalo pa syang gagaling at tataas pa ang kanyang scores at ranking. Despite for the minute spill sa kanyang presentation ay nairaos rin ni Michael ang napakaganda at napaka-bighaning short presentation program. Ang kanyang trademark Bielman spin ay napaka-flawless at ang kanyang leg lifts ay napaka-flexible po. Ang score nya sa short program ay 64.81 na syang pinaka-matass nyang score sa program na ito in his entire career compared noong una na he always averaged 55-58 points.
Ang kanyang free skate o long program ay also very good. At nairaos nya rin ito nang maayos with some minor trips and faults na hindi naman masyadong mahalata. Ngunit obvious po na he struggles on doing the double jumps pero sa kabuuan ay malinis naman ang kanyang presentasyon. Hanep ang kanyang mga jumps at spins lalo na ang Bielman spin sa huli at ang tinaguriang "Mr. Frick" move. Hahaha. May originality po sya sabi ng mga commentators which will propel him to stardom in the future. Hanep talaga ang mga commentary sa kanya. Nakakataba ng puso. I'm so proud of him talaga!
Pati ako ay napahanga sa kanyang angking galing, para tuloy gusto kong yakapin ang TV kanina. Ang kanyang long program ay Spanish inspired na sayaw titled "Malaguena." Mabilis ang tempo ng musika at puro trumpets ang tumotoka, nakakaindak at very touching. Flawless din ang kanyang mga jumps and spins tapos he held the positions for a long long time. Na-trip din sya dito nang konti (na hindi naman masyadong halata) pero marami pa rin ang pumapalakpak sa kanyang napaka-ibang long program presentation, including me specifically. hehehe. Magaling po talaga sya. Naka-score sya ng 119.44 sa free skate. At ang general total score nya ay 184.25 points (64.81 sa SP and 119.44 sa LP) putting him in rank 19 among 30 experienced skaters with him as the youngest and inexperienced one. He really put a good show as well as did his very best to go through the finals.
Nakakatuwa naman at may isang Filipino na tumatayo ng bandila ng Pilipinas sa Sochi Olympics kahit na hindi naman umuulan ng snow sa Pilipinas. At hindi lang sya nandoon kundi dahil sa kanyang angking galing sa pag-e-skate kung di dahil sa kanyang passion at pagmamahal o pagtangkilik sa sports. Ipinakilala nya sa buong mundo na ang mga Filipino ay well-rounded athletes kahit walang Winter dito. Marami ang natutuwa din sa kanya sa social media at nagdadasal para sya ay makapag-present ng maayos at maganda. I was even mesmerized by his raw talent and acting prowess. Salamat kung di dahil sa kanya hindi nakilala ang angking galing ng mga Pinoy sa figure skating. Mabuhay ka Michael Christian Martinez!
Sa ngayon medyo naging controversial si Michael dahil sa kanyang napaka-exclusive na istorya at galing. Dala nya ang karangalan ng Pilipinas dahil sa pagpunta nya sa Sochi Olympics to compete despite sa mga issues at hadlang sa kanyang paglakbay para maabot lang ang kanyang mga pangarap. At hindi po sya naging pabaya sa kanyang mga tungkulin at goals. Michael Christian Martinez, isa kang bayani na dapat tularan ng mga batang Pilipino. Salamat sa iyong humility at kabaitan na ipinamalas sa amin. Mabuhay ka kapatid! You are the rising star of the Philippines figure skating and I just can't wait for your growth to conquer the world with your figure skating skills in the near future. Good luck!

Dilat Na Dilat Ang Mga Mata
Hay naku.... di ako makatulog. Galing ako ng clinical rotation ko ngayon sa Los Angeles Community Hospital at hanggang ngayon ay dilat na dilat pa rin ang aking mga mata. Parang hindi lang ako nagtrabaho kagabi. Heto paang bangag pero aware pa rin ako sa aking paligid.
Umuwi ako sa bahay para matulog ng konti kasi may trabaho ako ng alas-siete mamaya pero hindi ako dinadalaw ng antok. Ganadong-ganado yata akong mag-gym so nagbihis na lang ako at umalis papuntang gym para naman hindi masayang ang aking oras. Rest day ko kasi kahapon kaya kailangan kong pumunta sa gym ngayon para magbinat. Kailangan kong magpawis para tuloy-tuloy ang aking pag-lose ng timbang.
Pagdatng ko ng gym, iniwan ko sa locker room ang aking mga gamit at nag-ready nang umakyat para mag-cardio exercise. Nag-stretch muna ako ng tatlong minuto tapos sumakay na ako sa stationary bike at nag-pedal. Tumagal ako doon ng biente minutos tapos pumunta ako sa likod para mag-treadmill. Nagawa ko namang maglakad sa treadmill ng thirty minutes tapos nag-jogging ako sa track.
Umikot ako ng limang beses sa track at ito ay aking inorasan. Nakuha ko ng five minutes and 48 seconds and five lapse at ito ay aking i-beat araw-araw o sa tuwing ako ay pumupunta dito para naman ma-challenge ko ang aking sarili. So far okay naman ang lahat-lahat.
Pagkatapos kong mag-lapse sa track dumayo na ako sa mga weight machines. Pumunta ako sa triceps pull at nung doon na ako may naispatan ako na poging itim at matangkad sya. Kinindatan nya ako at nag-smile naman ako sa kanya. Tapos yun lang at walang nangyari. Parang friendly wink lang kumbaga. Hehehe.
Nag-exercise ako sa triceps at biceps machine at tinuunan ko nang pag-eensayo ang ako mga braso sa araw na ito. Nakagawa naman ako ng tatlong repititions sa dalawang machine tapos bumaba na ako para gamitin ang pectoral machine. Doon nag-reps ako ako ng tatlong beses. Masakit ang akingmga pecs tanda na ito ay narerecruit na at nagsimula ng magrespond sa exercise.
Pagkatapos ko doon lumipat naman ako sa may thigh machine at gumawa naman ako ng five reps kasi medyo na-inspire ako ng konti kasi lumalaki na ang aking mga thighs. Medyo mabilog na ito at para na ring narecruit din ito. Tuwang-tuwa naman ako sa aking progress at ipagpatuloy ko na lamang ito hanggang sa madevelop na ng maayos ang aking mga muscles. It will take time though but I am patient. Hehehe.
After doon sa baba umakyat na naman ako at nag-stretch sa may stretching place tapos napansin ko na medyo maaga pa so nag-decide uli ako na tumakbo sa treadmill ng mga twenty minutes hanggang sa maabot ko na ang oras g aking paglisan o pag-uwi kasi magbibihis pa ako para sa trabaho. Naku.... medyo ginanahan yata ako at na-extend pa hanggang thirty minutes ang aking pagtakbo. I really really feel good kanina.
Salamat naman at maayos na ang aking pakiramdam kasi nakapagkilos na naman ako at medyo pinawisan din. Salamat talaga at nagdecide akong pumunta sa gym. Medyo gising na gising talaga ako at wala ng pag-asa pang makatulog pa kasi medyo gahol na rin ako sa oras dahil magtatrabaho na ako in one hour. Pero haping-hapi ako kasi nakapag-exercise na naman ako. Yay!

Trending My Gym Workouts
Sa ngayon medyo nagse-see-saw ang aking gym visits dahil nga 18 hours akong nagtatrabaho ng weekends so medyo mahirap pumunta ng ganung mga araw dahil nga sa pagod-na-pagod na talaga ang katawan ko. Tapos di pa ako makatulog dahil nga dilat-na-dilat naman ang aking mata. Kahit anong pilit kong matulog ay di talaga maipikit ang mga ito. Nakaka-dyahe nga eh. Kung minsan ay isa o dalawang oras na lamang ang aking tulog. Basta makalatag na lang sa kama ang katawan ko at makapahinga okay na yun...... pero alam kong hindi dapat.... haist.
Pero pag Lunes hanggang Biyernes ay nakaka-exercise naman ako kahit man lang gumawa ng cardio exercises dahil yun talaga ang mabilis magpapayat sa ken. At least ba, kumikilos ang aking katawan ang nabu-burn ang mga calories, tapos medyo tone down na rin ang aking kain at portioned ang mga ito. Hindi talaga ako masyadong nabubusog kasi nga maliit lang ang portion. Happy na ako kung makapag lose ako ng four pounds. Kahit paunti-unti lang at least trending. Pero medyo mahihirapan ata akong mag-lose ngayon kasi nag-we-weights na ako at medyo nararamdaman ko na nag-dedevelop na rin ang mga muscles ko. Gusto ko kasi lumaki ang pecs ko kasi medyo fatty sya ngayon. Gusto ko lang maging lean....
I hope ang weekend off ko sa exercise ay makapagbigay naman ng rest sa mga muscles ko. Hindi ko lang alam kong nadedevelop ang mga muscles kasi pakiramdam ko ay palaging sore ang katawan ko sa tuwing gigising ako kinaumagahan after I went to the gym a day before. I hope naman kasi at least may development naman ang aking mga hirap. Naging impatient na nga ako minsan kasi feeling ko hindi umuusad ang aking pinaghirapan. Pero alam ko naman na mabagal na process ito and it takes years to see the result. Kaya ipagpatuloy ko lang ang aking ginagawa. Continue ko lang ang pag-exercise. At least pinapawisan ako araw-araw at medyo konting tiis lang. Hehehe.
Oo nga, kasi medyo naaburido talaga ako minsan. One time nga medyo sore na talaga ang katawan ko at feeling ko baka lalong masakit pa kung i-exercise ko pa pero sa halip pinilit ko talaga ang sarili ko para makapag-exercise. Ayun nung mag-start na akong mag-stretch bago mag-exercise medyo nawala lahat ang soreness at nakapag-exercise pa ako ng two hours with less pain. Hay naku.... nakaka-surprise talaga kung minsan. Sa ngayon.... medyo naiintindihan ko na palagi talaga akong mag-stretch palagi before and after doing an exercise kasi talagang nakakatulong talaga. Medyo...... ang journey ko ay isang learning process din. Marami talaga akong natutuhan. As in..... talagang-talaga. Natutuwa naman ako.......hehehe.
Isa pa sa stretchig medyo may improvement na rin. Noon medyo stiff at matitigas ang aking mga paa at likod hay sa ngayon medyo flexible na po at medyo nawala na rin ang mga sakit sakit sa likod at katawan dahil dito. Nakakatulong talaga ang stretching. Ngayon ko lang naintindihan kung bakit palaging mag-stretch bago at tapos mag-ehersisyo. Kailangan talagang gawin yon. Kaya ako nag-aalot talaga ako ng ten minutes sa stretchings. So sa ngayon balak ko na ring mag-yoga. Hayaan mo pag may time mag-hahanap ako ng klase para matutunan ko na rin ito. Yay!
Sa ngayon ang bilbil ko sa tiyan ay medyo umimpis na rin. Although meron pa rin ng konti pero medyo may pagbabago na ring nagaganap sa tiyan ko. At least lumiit naman ito. Salamat naman at nakakatulong naman ang Hydroxycut at Zantrex. Napapabilis ang metabolism sa aking katawan at medyo nararamdamn ko na parang bumibilis ang aking metabolism kagaya ng isang makina na patuloy sa pagtatrabaho. Nakakatuwa talaga..... hahaha. I am reallyproud of myself for the effort. Sanan tuloy-tuloy na po ito.
Willing naman akon mag-antay basta papawisan lang ako araw-araw okay na sa akin. Kahit nga pag-break o rest day ko nag-weweights pa rin ako ako nag-ka-crunch sa bahay para man lang mapabilis ang aking metabolism at para naman hindi ma-slowdown ito. Salamat nama at effective ito. Thank God! Hindi na ako makapag-antay in two months time to see the result. I am very excited for that day. Reaching my ideal weight will be the most refreshing day of my life kasi I am healthy once again. yay!

The Hype About The XXII Winter Olympics
Yesterday was the opening night of the 22nd Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia in the remote Siberian peninsula. Sochi is the summer capital resort of Russia. Situated in the middle part of the vast Ruzzian continent, Sochi has now risen amidst nowhere. I now know that it was the hometown of the famous Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova. Sochi will be in the limelight for three weeks for this 22nd Winter Olympics.
Despite the human rights issues in Russia right now about the treatment of gay people, the olympics in Sochi will be in hot waters. The tension keeps building up as the olympics is approaching and the security around the olympic village was been tightened. The transparency about the issue was been with held but the media were hyped about the topic and for sure there will be a lot of retaliation from the athletes coming from other countries wherein homosexuality was very open. And media just embraced the topic and maDe it even more known on television making challenging the Russian Olympic Committee to implement transparency about the issue due to the worldwide attention that the country had been reflecting about the human rights issues especially among gay people.
Despite the issues I know the Winter Olympics will still b e pushed through. My opinion really is that, no matter what country you came from you still have to respect the by laws of that country because you are not in your own territory. Just like other foriegners who comes to your country and abide the by laws of your country. No matter how great and small your country is we should respect each other whatever belief system you may have. And this should hold true with the current issues about Russia and the olympics. That's just my humble opinion and if you don't like it, I will respect it because that's your belief no pun intended.
Going back to the olympics, well, as a Filipino I am very excited about our lone representative in this Winter Olympics in person of MIchael Christian Martinez who will represent my country in men's figure skating. Knowing that the Philippines is a tropical country and without winter it is odd for us to send an athlete in this winter olympics. In the case of Michael, he is an exception because ice skating is hi shobby and his parents were very supportive of it despite they didn't have any financial help from the government but from the generous Filipinos who followed and support the poor boy. But I mean, this boy wonder is really exceptional in his spins and flexibility.
In just 4 fours he had developed such skill and dexterity to be famous in the future as predicted by some experts. His journey at this olympic was even unprecendented for him because experts had expected him to shine in 2018 Winter Olympics but he got an early ticket for this Sochi Winter Olympics to developed his experience. He is not expected to medal in this experience but it will be sweet if he will at least get one. Let's charge that to "Luck". But I am excite dto see him doing that.
Watching him grow to be a powerhouse in the future makes my heart happy and proud at the same time. I have recorded the program in my DVR and will be watching it on MOnday because I am working this weekend back to back and I can't watch it during this time. But I will be keeping my guard checking the yahoo news or internet news to keep me updated about the opening program.
I saw from the yahoo pictures and video streams that as a lone athlete from the Philippines he has the responsibility to carry the flag proudly as he strode in the olympic stadium and the television announcer had described him as the most srtistic figure skater from the Philippines who came here not just to represent his country but as the first ever man figure skater from southeast asia. That was how special this boy is and we are very proud of him. We just can't wait to see him shin ein the future shattering records as predicted as long as he will be financially supported and his practice will be continuous.
But as a Filipino I am just proud of this boy. His YouTube videos had fascinated me a lot which some experts had said if developed well will be build into a powerhouse. And as I watched I can see a potential in him and the predictions could be true. Who knows. Well, whatever happens I hope his parents will not give up on his dreams and will continue to support him until he gets successful. I mean, they have invested so much for him and now it will pays off because he went to this olympics unexpedtedly early because he has the talent to back him. Good luck to you Michael on your programs next week. I will be watching for you and cheer for you in my living room. Yay!
So far, this olympics gets me excited as well because it's not only happening every four years but watching other countries competing had given me so much pride seeing those togetherness and camaraderie they are showing was very intense. No matter what happen I hope the issue of transparency about individual human rights will be respected and that the games will be a peaceful and successful one. I love watching olympics!

The Hype About The Superbowl
Today is Superbowl Sunday. Americans were all gaga about this event, I don't know why. Maybe because American football is the best. What's the hype about it anyway? Watching those big bulky muscular men running from end-to-end of the enormous court holding an odd shape ball is not my type of game. That's not news to me. I'd rather watch my favorite TV show and shed my tears over a tear-jerking-mind-stimulating conversation lines.
My friends, cousins, and family who grew up here in the US were so hyped up about this event. For them it was very entertaining. But for me, it was a time on a Sunday afternoon to devour pizzas, barbecues, munch on potato flakes, and drink a lot of beer as well as watch the most awaited half time entertainment shows and watch the never before seen advertisements on TV presented by the multi-million companies like pharmaceutical drugs, automobiles, softdrinks, beers, etc. companies. It was a crazy TV commercial presentations. Top notch and million dollar worth. That's how superbowl earn their notoriety, earning million dollar worth commercials from those big time commercial companies.
Since I came here in America I never watched this so called superbowl. I don't have time to waste it for this kind of boring game or sport. It was just a dull game to me just like soccer, tennis, baseball, and basketball. It is not stimulating to me. Sitting in the couch for long hours and waiting for the guys to run across the huge green court to covet or obtain a much anticipated touchdown... well hello it's useless. I'd rather put on my headphone and open a good paperback for me to read amusingly is the best past time. At least I have a story to finish and enjoy. That sounds fun to me.
As what I saw from the news earlier the Seattle Seahawks won over the Denver Broncos with the whopping score of 46-8. It's preposterously crazy! I think this is the most boring game of all the superbowls ever held here on earth. People got extremely frustrated with it. There is no thrill in this kind of game judging with the gap in the score. Even the people who did not watch the game, like me, can conclude that the game is a frustrating one.
The gap of the score was really really obvious. Seahawks had given the Broncos the best run of their life. And the Broncos had gave the Seahawks the easy job they ever had to win the best game. Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks for winning the XXVIII Superbowl and congratulations to the talented Bruno Mars who graced the half time entertainment. I will surley see it in YouTube tomorrow once itis posted there.
Well, I think my cousins who were an avid Broncos fans were disgusted and frustrated about their team's performance. I am extremely balling right now because they spent so much time preparing for this event since yesterday. They even woke up early to prepare, marinate, and cook good barbeques. They even bought huge ice coolers to chill their beers and all of a sudden they were shocked with the Broncos performance this afternoon. Hahaha.... The evil me. Well, that's life baby and there's no denying. Sometimes you have to lose to learn about life. Yeah.
Okay, I have to go to work now. Actually, I am working right now but just can't help myself to blog my amusements about the superbowl hype and to tease my cousins about their lost. Hahaha... super evil me indeed. Ah well, I am a teaser so the more I will irritate them. But anyway, I love them all. I just can't contain my giggles about knowing that the Broncos lost that's why I have to document it here in my blog. Have my cousins read this later on they will finely shred me to pieces when they see me. I am not prepared for that but I will try to hide really really good. Hahaha. Time to play hide and seek..... for me that's the best game ever compared to this Broncos and Seahawks match at the XXVIII Superbowl. Hahaha.
I love you all! Have a blessed Sunday. Be safe always. Take care guys! Ciao!

Sa Aking Pag-iisa
Ewan ko kung bakit palagi kong iniisip na ang buhay ko ay kahabag-habag. Siguro nga, dahil malayo ako sa aking pamilya. O siguro dahil nag-iisa ako dito sa Los Angeles at wala akong katuwang sa buhay. O siguro, pinapatay ko ang aking sarili para mag-trabaho para mapaaral ang aking mga pamangkin. O siguro nagtatrabaho ako palagi at hindi na nag-o-off kaya palaging pagod at depress. Ewan ko, ganun palagi ang aking pakiramdam at mukha tuloy akong kawawa.
Minsan ay natutulala na lang ako sa aking apartment at hindi alam ang gagawin. Minsan maghapon akong nakahiga sa kama at walang nagawa buong araw kundi magmuni-muni. Minsan naglalaro kasama ang aking aso na parang isang baliw. Minsan din ay nakaharap sa telebisyon at hindi maintindihan kung ano ang aking pinapanood. Masaklap pa ang aking buhay sa isang baliw pero hindi ko alam kung papano ko nalampasan ang mga ito. Nakapagtataka po pero yan ang totoo. Hay naku po......
Yan kasi ang buhay na aking pinili kaya kailangan kong tiisin lahat ito. Nagnais ako na makapag-abroad at ito ang kapalit para mabigyan lang ng karangyaan ang aking pamilya ngunit ang masakit ay hindi man lang ako na-appreciate ng aking mga kapatid. Sa halip inabuso pa nila ang aking kabaitan at pagtulong. Siguro, kasalanan ko rin kasi binigyan ko sila ng pagtitiwala na sa di kalaunan ay naging isang parasite sa akin na mahirap nang awatin. Huli na ang lahat para ito ay putulin. Aminin ko, may pagkakamali din ako at ito ay aking napabayaan at bumulwak na parang bulkan sa bandang huli.
Sa ngayon, natamasa ko ang pag-iisa na sa tanang buhay ko ay hindi ko pa naranasan. Ganito pala ang feeling kapag depress ang isang tao. Madilim, walang laman, lumulutang sa ire na walang direksiyon, walang patutunguhan, tuliro, nasasaktan, nakakaiyak, nag-iisa, hindi makahinga, sumisilakbo ang dibdib, hindi makatulog, balisa palagi, baliw, tinatamad, palaging gutom ominsan walang gana, matamlay, mapait na karanasan, hindi makaisip, confuse, mali-mali, nakakaawa, tulala, nakatingin sa malayo, gusting magpakamatay, nahihirapan sa buhay, walang magawa kung minsan, mabagal kumilos, nagkukulong, umiiwas sa mga tao, walang panahon mag-ayos ng sarili, magulo ang paligid palagi, at iba iba pang mga manifestasyon....... ang listahan ay walang katapusan and walang kapaguran. Dudugo ang iyong ilong kapag ito ay iyong iisipin lang.
Ang aking pagkamuhi sa aking kapatid na nagloko sa akin ay talagang hindi ko mapapatawad. Sa ngayon ang galit ko ay medyo kumalma na dahil matagal na iyon. Pero hindi ko makalimutan na ginamit lang niya ang aming ina para ako ay huthutan lang ng pera at sinagad pa ako hanggang ako ay magkasakit at kamuntik nang mamatay dahil sa kapabayaan ng aking sarili. Kapag naiisip ko ang mga panahon na iyon ako ay naawa sa aking sarili.
So far, ngayon ay medyo magaan na rin ang aking pakiramdam dahil iniiwasan ko na lang isipin yon at medyo umiwas na rin ako sa aking kapatid. Pero ang pagbintangan na ako ang dahilan dahil namatay ang aming ina ay hindi ko talaga maatim dahil hindi naman ako nagkulang sa pagpapadala ng pera para pangtustos sa mga gamot at pangangailangan ng matanda.
Kung bibilangin ko lang ang mga nahuthot nyang pera sa aking siguro ay hindi ko na po mabilang ng aking mga daliri. Milyon milyon na pera po ang ating pinag-uusapan dito na napunta lang po sa wala. Ang plano na magpatayo ng malaking bahay ay medyo naudlot din dahil piniperahan lang ako. Umabot po sa dalawang milyon ang napadala ko para magpatayo ng malaking bahay para sa amin lahat pero ano lang ang natapos ng ganung halaga... isang basement lang po. Hindi ba obvious na pangingikil lang ang ginagawa sa akin? Pinahiram ko sya ng kalahating milyon para magpatayo ng piggery... ang negosyo ay tumagal lang ng dalawang taon tapos kinalawang lang ang mga cable doon hanggang sa wala ka nang makitang baboy. Nababoy tuloy ang negosyo.... ah ewan.
Tapos ako pa ang masama. Siguro mali man ang ginawa kong isumpa sya pero ginawa ko lang po yun para putulin ko na lahat ang ugnayan ko sa aking kapatid dahil ayoko nang maulit pa na lolokohin lang nya ako at ang kanyang addict na asawa. Hayan tuloy ako ang kawawa. Masaklap pa sa isang baliw ang aking naranasan. Napapaiyak ang natutlala po ako paminsan-minsan kapag naalala ko ang mg aiyon. Kaya minabuti ko na lang po na isulat ang aking mga karanasan dito sa aking blog para maging productive naman ang aking maramdaman.
Hindi ko maiiwasan ang mapaiyak minsan pero tapos na po ang lahat. Ito na po ang aking pinili, ang pag-kitil ng aking relasyon sa aking isang kapatid at ang pagpatuloy ng aking buhay at kalimutan ang nakaraan na parang isang bangungot na lang. Sa aking pag-iisa hindi ko maiwasang maawa sa aking sarili kapag naalala ko ang mga sandaling iyon. Naalala ko tuloy ang aking ina. Haist talaga!

Pinahiram ko sya ng kalahating milyon para magpatayo ng piggery... ang negosyo ay tumagal lang ng dalawang taon tapos kinalawang lang ang mga cable doon hanggang sa wala ka nang makitang baboy. Nababoy tuloy ang negosyo.... ah ewan.
Tapos ako pa ang masama. Siguro mali man ang ginawa kong isumpa sya pero ginawa ko lang po yun para putulin ko na lahat ang ugnayan ko sa aking kapatid dahil ayoko nang maulit pa na lolokohin lang nya ako at ang kanyang addict na asawa. Hayan tuloy ako ang kawawa. Masaklap pa sa isang baliw ang aking naranasan. Napapaiyak ang natutlala po ako paminsan-minsan kapag naalala ko ang mg aiyon. Kaya minabuti ko na lang po na isulat ang aking mga karanasan dito sa aking blog para maging productive naman ang aking maramdaman.
Hindi ko maiiwasan ang mapaiyak minsan pero tapos na po ang lahat. Ito na po ang aking pinili, ang pag-kitil ng aking relasyon sa aking isang kapatid at ang pagpatuloy ng aking buhay at kalimutan ang nakaraan na parang isang bangungot na lang. Sa aking pag-iisa hindi ko maiwasang maawa sa aking sarili kapag naalala ko ang mga sandaling iyon. Naalala ko tuloy ang aking ina. Haist talaga!
Heart Month
It seems that February was been creeping in smoothly. After the hustled celebration of the Chinese New Year in Los Angeles Chinatown, celebrating the year of the wooden horse, another event is coming soon. Valentine's is already in the air and groceries, malls, even workplaces were been adorned with red and pink, the color of love.
February is the most anticipated month as well because of Valentine's day. For me, not that quite because I am loveless. Two years ago was the best Valentine's Day I ever had because I spent it with someone that had made me special for quite a while. I spent it in Guanajuato, Mexico with my then boyfriend Ricky and that was the most memorable Valentine's ever. We made a road trip to Guanajuato state in Mexico. That was also the most enjoyable trip I've ever had. But sad to say those were past.
At this moment, I have no inspiration either. My relationship with Ricky didn't last long. The guy had siezed communicating or responding to my calls and messages until the relationship had dwindled to oblivion. The nuances of the relationship was been apparent as the time passed by plus the distance factor had greatly affected the relationship. Besides, I have a premonition that the relationship will not last either because of the distance factor. I don't know, I am just a person that doesn't believe about long distance relationship.
I cannot deny the fact that it works for some couples but it is very obvious for me that our relationship doesn't work. Well, what could you expect about gay relationship? You know a guy-to-guy relationship is just a temporary relationship I guess. That's just my opinion and don't quote me with it.
There is no permanence I guess. I might be wrong, but that's just my opinion. It could work to some but how many percent you think among the gay population that a very intimate relationship had worked...... a little percentage, right?
But anyway, at least I have a taste of being in love and that's the important thing for me. However, I am still hopeful that my knight in a shining armor will come someday and intrigue me. But tome it's not impossible. There is no impossibility if you believe but I am still skeptical about that.
I am a person raised with some certain principles and values and that values had greatly influenced me to be reserved and testy about certain situations such like heart matters. It's really pathetic for me to really push myself for this guy-guy relationship but it never hurts if I try, right. At least I got to feel it sometimes even for just a short time despite of the imminent danger to get hurt.
I guess love and hurt are symbiotic. They both go together. It just all depends on the severity it will cause to a person. Some may have it mild, moderate, severe, or excruciating (the one that really really hurts). Hahaha..... sounds like a pain assessment to me. I can still visualize the Wong-Baker Faces (a tool used by a nurse in assessing for pain for non-verbal patients).
Anyways, February sso they say is the heart month. It is the month where there is million shades of red. It can shed the aura of romanticism and spill the aroma of love in the air. It's nice that people devote a month to celebrate love. It also reminds us about cupid who used his arrow to pierce the hearts of those people who are in love. And also the beauty of Aphrodite or Venus who is dubbed a the mythological goddess of love. There were a lot of versions and I love all of them. Hahaha.
Valentine's is not just being celebrated with a boyfriend or a special someone. It can also be celebrated with your close families whom you love. Remember it is a love month, so whoever you love whether a family or friend is also included in the celebration. Love is the most powerful weapon that can unite everybody. It creates peacefulness and orderliness in everything. Our relationship with God was triggered by love for God so love mankind that He send Jesus Christ for us to be redeemed from sin.
So as we celebrated the heart month let use reconsider all these factors and celebrate it peacefully and meaningfully. Despite you are in love or loveless still Valentine's will pass smoothly and color the environment red and full of "amore" in the air. Happy heart month to all of you!
