Mind is somewhere else again

My body feels weak. I don't know if it's physiological or psychological, but it just does. It's harder to get up in the mornings and it's harder to stay up during nights. My schoolwork is a mess and I can't seem to get a hold of my academic self. It's not like I'm not enjoying my subjects, I am! My subjects this semester are great! It's just that I feel tired. Like I have no energy half of the day. And this just won't work with the whole day schedule I have. Can't we just speed up time and get to December 20 already? I think that's where my mind is at right now. December 20. I want it to be break already.

And so yeah, here I am procrastinating when I'm supposed to be typing away for some papers. Booyah I'm such a loser. Bleh.

Woah

First day of class and I am SOOOOOO tired already. I ache all over thank you very much second semester of school year 2008 to 2009.

My body has yet to get used to waking up early.
My brain has yet to get used to thinking in study mode.
My energy has yet to adjust to a super whole day sched.
Speaking of schedules, don't talk to me on a thursday. It's my hell day.

Now for some other things.

If guys in table tennis were this hot, I think I'd be a tad bit more enthusiastic about going to training and other competitions.
Wouldn't you agree?

Show Me Some Legs

Finally, after putting behind me some requirements I had to accomplish, I can blog about this.
Last October 31 2008, I biked to Infanta Quezon with my mom, dad, and uncle Ricky. It was my first ever long distance ride and I am so happy that I was able to accomplish it! Biking for some 140-150km while going up and down three mountains, it was definitely tiring - no doubt about that - but it was also something else when I got to see the countryside and scenery while just pedaling on two wheels. My lungs get rejuvenated and I forget the torture my legs are receiving. A bike ride really gives off a different feel than when you're just looking outside a car window.
The ride (water breaks and lunch breaks included) took us about 11 hours - 6am to 5pm but pedaling wise was only about 6 hours. Taking in the fresh mountain air was amazing. We stayed a few days in Infanta. Paid our respects to our beloved dead and visited the living beloved as well. Of course, the beach was not forgotten. I was not going to allow a departure without a proper beach going! Actually, I didn't want to go home so soon. Life back there is just amazing. So laid back and refreshing and calming. Life goes on at a different pace - a nice beautiful pace at that. When I retire, I wouldn't mind retiring to a beach-side home there. I will definitely want a beach house. yupyup. (For photos of our stay, click here) Unfortunately, we biked back home on a Monday, November 3, 2008.
I never really imagined that I'd get there on only my bike. Up until now, I'm still in awe. I wish all of you could've seen what I saw. This event is definitely a repeat. I can't wait for next time!
