New Moon thoughts

I am enjoying my sem break, thankfully. My body's still sore from my intense practice yesterday at the shala. I was really happy though for  I was able to practice with my favorite teacher after a few months of not seeing him. I was more focused yesterday on my second series. Those poses that require me to put my legs at the back of my head..Wow! I guess I did improve.I am grateful.

I had a morning class with my mexican student, Gerardo, since I was sporting a bad cold last night. The fifty minute online learning was both fun and tedious as it gave us both the limitation in terms of him learning how to say English words correctly. I can see though that he will surely succeed in this endeavor because he's truly dedicated. KUDOS Gerardo:)

So, there were three men who wanted to chat with me online today. I didnt feel the vibe. I had to let go. My longing to have that pure love isn't available yet..hahahha

Thoughts wander too, gravitating on both the good and the not so good. It must be the moon or my own lack of drive to go out.

Generally, the day is a clean one. My eyes are tired though.

This is just me trying to be boring on a new moon day.

Have a happy one. Namaste!

Fun Saturday

I was thirty minutes early coming to the Chi Spa today.I stayed at the comfort room and got myself ready.I had a great time meeting and chatting with a few great women who attended the 9 am session.I really hoped I could join that class but due to my commitments with my students I really had to forego attending.I do want to venture into the MYSORE thing.I am contemplating on joining this Monday.May the force be with me!


The practice was great as usual.I was sweating tons again.I was glad Jiah was there.She's  a great  woman.There were I guess 8 of us in the class today.As usual, I had some chit chat with Jon and Jiah.If only times like that last.We could only create  good memories with our teacher as he will eventually be leaving us.It is always nice to share laughters after the practice.The shala has been an avenue for me to be myself always.


Jiah and I had a great time conversing continuously until lunch time at Maxx's, Shangrila.It was my first time to open up something that concerned two individuals.I was glad she had such a good heart to spend time with me.The only downside  of that lunch was me having chicken.Now, my belly's starting to agonize.May the Universe forgive me for giving in to temptation. (:

I was late from my movie date with Amy and Donn.Thankfully, they already purchased my ticket.It was just fortunate that I only missed a few scenes.It was  a a great flick.

It was raining when we went  out.We were supposed to go to the market to buy our food but we ended up going home immediately.I had a great time today.I felt sleepy though but my heart's very happy.


Tomorrow's Father's Day.Have a happy one dear fathers specially to my papa.


OM.

Weeklong highlights 2



my chair

The tropical depression Dodong has confined me in the comforts of my home eating only fruits most of the time.Of course, it's a great diet but the thought of not having food in the house when there's a storm scared me too.Thankfully, on the fourth day the sun was generous  enough to smile at me.I went out and had my pedicure then bought my computer chair (my fourth one), hang out with the store crew for a while then had grocery shopping.


I had two great yoga practices at home too.Classes online were amazing.I was also able to transcribe two interviews and hopefully will have one before Monday.My body's a bit sore and I was sporting a cold but I got by.


The practice at the shala today was also awesome.Jon was the teacher again.It was my first time to see him with his short hair.Upon entering the place, we smiled at each other and I could not help but touch his hair.It was nice being candid to him like that. After the practice, Nature and I kept hugging each other like crazy.I love this woman guru.She's just very sweet to me.We were teasing Jon as he will be leaving for Finland soon.The three of us had a great conversation and I must say, I am really very happy I have found these beautiful souls.SIGH! Jon would be gone. He told me we still have some time together.I'm looking forward for the three of us to go out.


At the washroom/spa room, I was able to chat with 3 great women too.Ahhh, the energy after the practice was just great.


I dislike to write this but I have to.Today too, I decided not to spend time with two people I thought were my friends.It might be wrong but I had no choice.I guess I was not ready to confront nor talk to them after what they did.I hate to say this but when a relationship/friendship seems abusive I really dont hesitate to leave.I didnt want to hurt more .So i remained SILENT!.May the universe bring healing to whatever ill feelings I've got.OM.


Talking to mom on the phone was cool.I've learned that my brother's home.SIGH! again.Anyway, I am looking forward to have them with me soon in my own space.Lunch at the Pancake House was perfect.Fiesta Taco salad and Martini cinnamon Toast just made my day.

I went home a bit tired but fulfilled.I was supposed to transcribe again but my body just wanted to rest so I stayed on the mat and watched TV then took a nap.


Tomorrow's the commemoration of our FREEDOM.It's a great reminder for all of us Filipinos to be grateful to the lineage of heroes who shed blood and tears for us to be FREE.

ENJOY THE GIFT OF FREEDOM EVERYONE! BE GRATEFUL TOO.

Fun Classes Today

I had great classes today.I laughed a lot again. (thanks to the cool weather) There were just a lot of cute things that happened online and I was amused.(in fact I am still amused now)




anne's erasers



Anne was cute when she was showing me her 25 pieces of erasers.She kept on counting till she got tired.She's the usual bubbly kid.There was no pressure on her part to speak the English language.I was so happy seeing her enjoy her classes today.In fact it wasnt an ordinary ESL class.It was simply a conversation and i bet she's learned better that way.The eraser thing was really hilarious.I could not believe she's got a lot of these erasers in the house.

Nina and John showed me their cute dogs.They were so sweet that I ended up talking to their pets too.My dear Nina has just gotten back to studying with me.I was so glad she was very good today.John's pretty cool too.I couldnt stop laughing because this smart boy could really be so funny.

Jennifer on the other hand was still weak.It's the second day that she's tired.Despite her condition she still opted to use the book and while having lessons, we couldnt stop laughing because there's always humor around.Before the class ended, I could see that's she's better.


Betty as usual was the busy bee.She was multitasking again.While talking to me, she was also doing her cards.Her hobby, she said.Then she was eating spicy noodles and I was like ...OMG! I wanted to eat that too.There was singing that happened too.I love our class as always.

There were other great students today but Anne, Nina, John, Jennifer and Betty stood out because I really had a great time.There was merriment all over the place.I just wish I could see them for real soon.


The day was cool.It has been raining for two days.Thankfully. despite the limitations of this soul, I was still given the opportunity to teach and to learn at the same time.My students no matter how far they are at the moment are always the reasons why I get up each time.They give me the reason to keep going.

I am grateful for today.More than anything else, this self is just happy for the gift of teaching.


GO MA WA!
