Life Moves On....

Click here to watch Sept. 11, 2011 This is one of the Sundays I arrived home as early as 6:30 pm after a full day outside. Day started at the church and I was there as early as 9:30 am to set up the LCD and computer for the presentation about my travels abroad. Pastor Richard had asked me to share to congregation since June before my trips to Mongolia and Israel. It was just now it happened. Sept. 12 It's Monday and all classes today went well. The students liked the density experiment using salt water, freshwater, golf ball and pingpong ball. Today's workout was exceptional...I'm getting used to the changes of equipment in the gym...They spent 2.5 million $ for equipment upgrade. The Buso is what I liked the most.....I'm home now watching "Eat Bulaga" while writing this blog. It is always good to be in relaxed mode after a full day at work, workout and swim. Ithis week is extra full...Tuesday lunch House N meeting at work, Back to School Night on Thursday...and thinking if I'm going with mom and dad in Chuckchansi this weekend. Sept. 13 Late swim today! I had a 40-min powernap before hitting the gym and pool...It pays off. The energy just spiked up. What makes powernap a better rejuvinatio. than regular night sleep? Many times we wake up from night sleep with some aches specially when we slept in wrong or odd position. It's a long week this week...staying an extra hour at work tomorrow for the start of after-school tutorial and stay as late as 8 pm om Thursday for the Back to School Night. There is always a look loooong week at work. It will pass, anyway! October 1, 2011 What happened to the last 9 months...It's October and autumnal leaves have started to brown and to fall. Time fallback is soon and it's always cool to fall it back for extra hour of sleep. This past three weeks have been over capacity both work, home, personal and family. Car needed to be towed two weeks ago and was taken to shop for three days and drove rental to move around. It's fix now by far. This car is still OK and I will not but a new one until it is unfixable. October 22, 2011 Finally got the time to update blogs...The last five weekends have been very occupied but for good reason. Unexpectedly, I made an offer to a house and it was and it was accepted. As of now I'm just waiting for the closure of the deal. I believe that this is God's will and it happened for a good reason...I'm excited in a way. I will still live in my present home and my parents will be living in the new home...my sister gets their home in Santa Cruz and I am happy for my sister to take over my parent's place! This week has bee so filled up with other work-related responsibilities--- quarter grades, professional development, curriculum meeting, house meetings, after school tutorials. All went well and the week went by so fast.....as expected. It's alway healthy to work as it is always good to mind and spirit to work and be productive. Work gives us opportunities to do our very best. On the other note....a former student way back 2006 saw and approached me when I was in 7-11 convenient store....how wonderful to see and hear from her that she has been moving on with her life and planning to go to college. The most power statement she said that now she realize why teachers and parents turn to be unhappy if students and children, respectively, are not doing what are expected. What a beautiful realization of life from a young person! Brazil ...here I come....November 21 and through Thanksgiving! In less a month after the trip to Brazil I will be in Islands of Bermuda before the Christmas day LIfe is good! Jamaica in Spring Break in April 2012 and India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia in the summer of 2012. October 23, 2011 What a wonderful day! Woke up early moron his morning and had the time to prepare myself well for the church. I am so glad that I am back t my regular Sunday agenda in going to church. It was in the last 5 Sundays that I have to go to LB and do a house hunting and not it's finally settled. I am hoping to close the ex row by the end of this week. It's all God's will. On the other note....went to gym and pool after the service at the church and I had an exquisite swim drills and practice. I I swam backstrokes 85% of the time and the other 15% was mixed. This water bottle drills for backstrokes has been paying off. I love the lil' gliding and torso rotations I accomplished. Now I am loving backstrokes....used to be one of the least favorites....doing my very best. Looking forward to this brand new week!
