On Boxing

Finally I had the time to try out the punching bag  installed at home. As I was putting on the wraps I realized that I did not know how! I even had to ask for the assistance of google.

After 30 minutes or so I was all set. I circled around the bag and gave it a jab after 1-2 steps. Not a minute elapsed I was tired! But that didn't stop me cause sayang naman yung pag wrap ko ng kamay ko. Lol. So I went for 3 more rounds and that was it! Til next time. 

On Insignificant

I do not want to be your entire world, no. I would be happy just to be your morning coffee, your hanging car keys, your wallet. Something seemingly insignificant, but if lost throws off your entire day.

On How to Comfort a Mother

It seems like the same scenario back in 2010. This time it is my grandfather who is 85 years old. He is one health conscious person. He jogs and walks everyday and does not skip his medications. Earlier yesterday he even went to the beach with my relatives.

At night we got a phone call. My cousins were rushing him to the hospital due to a suspected stroke. He was still semi conscious for he was still able to respond in a way. After a CT scan they said there was a blood clot so they suggested to transfer to another hospital that specializes on those stuff. However, the operation cannot push through right away since my grandfather was under medication.

Today, he was brought to the hospital in the city. He underwent the operation because the clot was getting bigger. He has not waken up since the procedure.

I cannot bear to see the stress my mom is undergoing. But how do I comfort a mother whose father who just underwent a stroke? How can I be strong if just by the thought of whats happening brings tears to my eyes?

I am no doctor, and all I can do is pray that my grandfather will get the right treatment and have a speedy recovery.

Kuya Jess, may Your will be done.

On Retirement Benefit

Computed my retirement benefit.

Would it be worth the wait?

I love my job!

I LOVE my job!

Now, I could only really mean it....

YES, I DO LOVE MY JOB! <3

On Pick Ups Sunday

Younger brother asked me if I wanted to join his team. I agreed because I want to get back in the groove. But I also informed him ahead of time about my limitations. Despite my conditions, his team openly accepted me.

I had my first pick up with the team earlier. It was an opportunity to meet my teammates and test out my knee. Knee felt better compared to my last stint at the Circle. I was able to play 6-8 points (I lost count) under the scorching heat without any substitutions. It was a given that my throws are a continuous work in progress. But it felt great that my teammates acknowledged my game play. I still lag behind but at least a few steps nalang.

Truly, hard work does pay off. More of it and oh yeah!!!
