A good month

Been a while since my last post. 

I am no longer too busy with work, I guess I just started reading again (yipee!!) that's why I kind of put writing aside for a while. 

I just finished reading The Kite Runner and I really liked it. It's a bit different from the American and English novels I always read that's why I find it refreshing. It opens up my mind to a different culture and way life. A different drama. Stories like that makes me more thankful for the life that I have and had and the possibilities of what I may still have...

I haven't picked up my guitar in the last few weeks... sad, sad... I guess having too many things scheduled over the weekends is taking a toll on some of my pre-arranged activities, oh well, I'll have to get back to trying to play the guitar soon, and I mean really soon...

We also watched Voyage de la Vie 2 weeks ago. I was left amazed by the performers (in more ways than one, hehe).  Had a good time that day. Good swim, good food and a good show. 

Swimming. One of the things I look forward to now (next to weekends and long holidays)! A couple of weeks ago we were taught different ways of jumping (not diving) into the water and in order to do that, we have to be in the deep portion of the pool. I didn't remember if I was afraid because it was deep and that I haven't really tried treading in the water, all I remember was that we were all laughing because 2 of us were a little scared of jumping in. Eventually, after a few seconds of procrastinating, we all jumped in. :) It was a really fun lesson, still brings back a smile to my face. And last week, all 4 of us were able to do 20 laps! :D The only drawback of this activity is that I'm getting way too tanned... Way too tanned...

I wonder when... 

names names names...

The tips of my fingers still hurt from trying to play the guitar. I want to learn so I bought one last week (Yey!). My lesson started last Saturday and other than my fingers feeling numb, everything else was fun. I still need to practice though. Have to go home early to be able to do so. I remembered having a discussion with a friend regarding how people choose names for their cars or even guitars. She actually named her guitar Peachy, her reason being that the color of her guitar is pink and she didn’t like the name pink so she chooses something close which is, well, according to her, Peach. I also shared how my family’s lack of creativity is apparent on how we name our pets. We named our dogs, Doggie, Chacha and Donut. We used to have a cat named Pussy and my sister named my car Chevy (definitely a give away). So I am now wondering if I should name my guitar. And if I would, what will it be? Wanted it to start with S or T. I’m considering the name Tyke because I like the sound of it but I also like the name Aika because of what it means. Or I may opt not to name it at all… Hmmm… I guess I’ll wait awhile before deciding. I’ll wait awhile until a name feels right…

I’m getting busier by the week, and this time, it has nothing to do with work which is, for now, is a good thing.
