Last weekend was the Singles for Christ ICon (International Conference), which was held in Camarines Sur. Brother and I weren't able to attend because of financial reasons, but anyway, one of the brothers shared this video in his Facebook wall saying it was something shared at the conference... and watching it I was really touched knowing messages are just around out, we just have to have keen eyes and understanding to learn about it.
Anyway, on with my post...
20 February 2011
It was a Sunday, and time to jog with sis again. Ria had already talked to me the previous day saying she would join us, but Sunday morning, sister said she couldn't come because she was having a mild asthma attack. It was actually a good thing that she didn't come because it was so cold that morning, the wind was actually burning our skins as we walked.
Ria and I jogged whenever we pleased, stopping every now and then to catch our breath. I wasn't able to jog that much, though, because I brought my camera, and my focus seemed to be what to take pictures of. That was Ria walking... I took this picture after I took a picture of some grass. She said she will just continue walking, and when I walked to catch up, I noticed the wonderful cloud formation that looked like fireworks, so I decided to take a picture of it. This, I think, is my favorite picture from last week.
Last Friday, while I was jogging here with my sister, I saw a Passiflora (Passion Vine Flower), and back then I told myself I'd take a picture of the flower again the next time I bring my camera, and I did. :)
Rewind to a few minutes ago... when we entered the bare subdivision, real estate agents handed us some fliers about the place and told us the clubhouse is now looking beautiful, and while walking, Ria saw a building from afar and asked if we could walk and find it. We were already near the clubhouse when somebody shouted my name. When I looked to the other lane, I saw one of my high school classmates... well, he wasn't just a classmate, he was actually my biggest high school crush, and it was just amazing to see that he still remembered me even if the last time we saw each other was during high school graduation. Well, he is not a crush anymore, and there was no spark when I saw him, but of course, it just feels great to see an old crush.
Biggest happiness I guess would have to be the jogging sessions I have made. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you may have probably notice I have been talking about the morning jog with sister and Ria. I am happy that I have found a great reason to get fit again. I did gain a lot of weight after my holiday with K last November, and I really, really have to get slim because my mom gifted me with a swimsuit for Christmas, and it would be such a shame if I won't use it. I hope by October this year I could fit into it.

ps - My sister and I went to the market this afternoon, and as usual, we had a cone each of soft ice cream. I felt a little guilty saying I may be jogging and walking, but I think I still am gaining weight because I couldn't control my food intake. My appetite is just overwhelming, but sister told me "at least you're jogging and walking." I realized it really is much better to jog and walk and eat... rather than eat without jogging and walking.
Also, when we got home, the nannies working in our neighbors said I am already losing weight. At first I don't know if they just said that to uplift my spirit, or to spark a conversation... but one of them did tell me "just continue doing what you're doing, you'll reach your goal." It was very touching to hear comforting, uplifting words from people around, and yes, I do grab the compliment with both hands and keep it in my heart.
Aja!
