I Wanna Play Basketball!!!

All this video taping my officemates is making me envious. ~_~

Imagine having to play basketball for almost 40 minutes, and still be able to do it the next day.

I want to be that fit. ~_~

Granted, they are not exactly the most fit of people, (they are probably going to need some creatine powders to get rid some of their belly pudge, harharhar!) but I have to give them credit for being able to play that long. Heck, I can’t even shoot that basketball ball from the free throw line. (Yeah, I suck at basketball)

Anyway, all this watching is making me wish I was fit again. It made me start looking for home exercises. There was even one about prison exercises (you know, the kind that inmates do during their stint in jail) but being a chubby person like myself, it seems… scary. ~_~

I really need to get a DVD… I miss my Rachel Brice CD. I think I’m going to better as a bellydancer than a sports person. Hahaha!

New Year’s Resolutions?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

Oh man, I can’t believe it’s 2011 already. I’m going to have to renew my PRC license this year.

Anyway, for those who don’t know, I actually spent my quiet (but fun) New Years in Pangasinan, at my parent’s farm. Which is both pretty great and kind of sucks. It’s great because everything is all quiet and I was able to be with my family, but it was kind of boring without the usual big city fireworks show I always see when I’m here in Manila.

So I was there, of course, I was thinking of all my resolutions for this coming year. We all have that, I think.  But last year, I decided NOT to have any resolutions because, well, I don’t actually do them.

I guess it does show what a weak-willed person I am. XD

SO! For this year, I have come to the conclusion that I DO need a New Years Resolution. And my resolution is….!

TO BECOME A GYM BUNNY! XD

What does that mean? Well, with my current health status, I’m pretty sure that I need to (again) lose weight, so this year, I am determined to reach 120 pounds, and maybe even lower, without sacrificing my health from dieting. Hahahaha!

So, what are your New Years resolution? ^_^v

Photography Ventures

Yup, with my newest resolve to become a better blogger and more artistic person, I’ve decided to take up a bit of photgraphy. XD

Well, they’re not really like… classroom-like lessons. I’m actually learning from my new friends in PnSers.com on which cameras are good, how to tweak pictures (though I prefer minor editing in mine) and other vital information on photography. It’s actually a lot harder than i thought… harder than trying to buy gold online.

In fact, the image you see in this post is actually one of the fruits of my labor. This image won our First Photo Challenge in the site. It’s a small victory, but it sure helped in boosting a bit of my confidence in camera handling. I seem to have a problem with my hands, since I’m shaking a bit when I’m taking pictures. ~_~

Anyway, I hope to buy a new camera soon, since the camera that I used for this picture is actually my sister’s. I hope you guys stay tuned for more of my pictures! XD

Bike Drifting Girl

I found this clip in YouTube today, and it is AWESOME! XD

I wish I could drift like this in a bicycle, it would be so cool. I’d weave in and out of traffic in our local village if I had a talent like this. XD

PnSers.com

Yep, I’m a member of the  Point and Shooters Community Forum now. ^_^v

Mainly because I need to work on how to shoot with my camera…

For those of you who don’t know, PnSers.com is actually a site made by my blogging master, geri, as well as his friends to bring together different Point And Shoot camera users together to participate in photowalks and other events. They also help amateurs (like me ~_~) in taking great photos with digital cameras.

Most of my pictures are taken with my sister’s Nikon CoolPix L20… it’s an okay camera, but I have problems about how to handle it and how to use the different settings. I’m hoping I can learn a lot from them and participate in their photowalks soon. XD

hibaRaks!!!

Oh, greatness… thy name is Hiba! XD

Yep, this girl is proof that you can still be an awesome bellydancer even though you’re fluffy (unlike me, who keeps visiting weightlossdietpills.net to find out how I can lose weight).

She’s no Rachel Brice… but damn! She’s good. I just hope I had her confidence when dancing. XD

I can never seem to get rid of my confidence issues. I don’t know, it’s probably just me. I guess I’m not really too cool with letting my jiggly bits wobble.

But Hiba… man, she’s just really awesome! Her dancing is great, her hair is great, and her costume is awesome.

I wonder what decade will I be able to be like that? ~_~

MEH WANTS A PUPPEH!

A really cute puppy.

I’ve been thinking about getting a pet lately, and of course, one of the pets I wanted is a dog. Originally, I wanted a cat or a bunch of kois (those Japanese fishes that apparently bring good luck) but I realized that I can’t have those because my parent HATE cats (but I love ‘em ~_~) and koi fishes are actually more expensive than pond algae control treatments.

I used to have a dog, named Roval, who is a (rather impotent ~_~”) German Shepherd. He rocked. He’s like one of the coolest dogs I’ve ever owned. It was my dad who bought him, but I practically raised him. I was the one who gave him baths, the one to take him to walks (most of which lead me to disaster, since he wasn’t exactly trained… imagine 170 pound lady tripping with a dog on a leash in one hand), and when I walk him, I would usually sit down a park bench and rest a while as he sniffed around and “marked his territory”. Afterwards, he’d sit by me and just watch me. Sometimes, I talked to him about things about my life, and he’d just look at me. Of course, he probably never understood me, but still, during those years, it was a great help. Not to mention it was rather fun having to rub him behind the ears after the talk and him licking my face in happiness.

I kind of miss that feeling. We have two Aspin (or askal) dogs now, both belonging to my brother, and I can’t do the same thing with them. The white one, Mafia, eats her own poo (licking ANY part of my body is a no-no ~_~) and the other, Yakuza… well, he’s not so bad. It’s just that he’s such a big chicken he can’t even wander outside the gate. ~_~

I want a nice dog. An intelligent dog. Like a Labrador or a Poodle maybe. But nowadays, pure bred puppies cost so much. I once saw an ad for a Chow-chow puppy that costs around P45,000. Sheesh!

I’m in a pinch. ~_~

Of my 45-things-to-do-before-I-die list…

A couple of years ago, during my really, really despressing days as a unemployed lady (XD), I watched Mandy Moore’s movie “A Walk to Remember”. And I really didn’t care much about the movie (sorry, not much into romantic movies), but there is, however, one thing that I remembered.

The girl had a list, a rather short list, of things she wanted to do before she died. And in the movie, the couple did as much of the things on her list before she really died of leukemia. And it made me think. I don’t think that only dying people should have a list like this. Eveybody should have one. It’s one way to know your true goals, and to enjoy your life to the fullest.

So I made this list and posted in my previous Blog (read “It’s My Mouth And I’ll Say Anything I Want With It” from the links). It’s been only about 2 years since I posted this, but still… STILL only a few things have been checked.

I’m posting this here as a review of sorts… so that I can see which ones I still miss and need to achieve… XD
