Biker lady

That feeling I can't explain when I am driving a motorbike. I am proud to say that I am one of those women who knows how to drive a two wheels ride. Until last year, I didn't even know how to balance a bicycle. I was scared of it, I never wanted to try it. Then I got a simple bicycle, not a motorbike, just a regular one where you have to use your legs to move it. That motivated me to learn balancing on a bicycle. At first I was really tensed, I am someone who's always scared of wounds. While learning, my mind thoughts was all about wounds if ever I fall from the bicycle.

After a while of learning I did overcome my fears. I got used to balancing the bicycle. Months went by, and I noticed that I am so ready to drive a motorbike. Perfect timing because my brother had his motorbike and he let me practice on his bike. Then, after few months of practicing, I was able to drive by myself. Now I am one of those people who's able to drive a motorbike without help of somebody. I am proud of myself for that. I overcome my fears, and so I learned!

Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn

The Philippines boxing champ Manny Pacquiao may have lost his fight against Jeff Horn this time, but the loss is discussed controversal by the sports expert. Many think that Pacquiao did the better punches. In any case, he will remain a legend in the boxing sport, due to so many previous wins.

I think the discussion should stop about his loss. He is only a human with no super powers. I hope you guys know that he may not always win. I'm sure Manny has accepted the fact that he lost this fight. Maybe there will be a rematch. In any case, we Filipino should be proud of him that he gave honor to our country.

Win or lose, Manny, you will remain a champion to me! You've fought, not just for yourself, but also for the country. You have won so many fights, that you have proven enough times that you are a true champion. Now it is time to focus on your senatorial job, where you have many political challenges to solve. I wish you that you win those kind of fights as well. Good luck!

Learning to drive a motorbike

My sunday was not boring at all! I've got to drive around using my brother's motorbike. That's what I often do whenever he isn't using his motorbike. I am doing it since just one month, and I can proudly say, I have learned to drive. Thanks to my brother for teaching me! He taught me well. Now, since I can already drive without my brother's help, all I need is to practice more perfectionate my driving skills.

I am not scared of driving anymore. I can already drive with a back ride. I think I've done something good for myself this year already. At the beginning, all was scary, until I tried it. Once you master the balancing, then everything goes well, and you'll learn. To avoid crashing yourself, always drive carefully.

P.E

I have a hard time with my dancing skills. Having a nice P.E instructor who understands students gives me more hope. P.E is one of the classes that are difficult for me. I do admire people who are good at dancing, but I really can't dance.

It's so hard for me to follow steps. I don't know why I can't just follow what everyone is doing easily. I don't want to faile the subject, but I still have two more practical dancing exams. I have survived the 1st and the 2nd ones, I even tried the 3rd ones this afternoon. Of course we only practiced but I haven't done it well.

Until nearly dismissal we continue our practice. Some know the dance steps already, some don't, including myself. So I approached my teacher before I left and told him that I will just keep practicing at home. He said: "It's okay,  you're not alone with this. I understand, but please continue practice." I was relieved when I left the door, because he talked to me in a nice way. It makes me smile and it motivates me to keep going. He is so much different than other teachers who only pay attentions to those who are better at whatever subjects they are holding.

Parasailing

Do you know parasailing? This is a beach activity where you are up in the air on a parachute connected by a long rope to a boat. The boat drives against the wind, which pulls the parachute and you up in the air. Back in 2014, when I was on Boracay, I saw parasailing the first time. But on Boracay were so many activities to do. That was my first time doing zip line and horse back riding. I watched the parasailing but I was too nervous to even try it. Who would have thought, I've got to try it in Bali. This time I was more courageous.

Now I know the feeling of being swept up in the air. I'll never forget the moment where I was being wrapped into the harness that is connected to the parachute. I was so nervous thinking I might fall down. But as soon as I was in the air, all panic was gone. Seeing the entire world from high above was amazing. I saw the beach view from above, and the sea, and everything was cool.

Later I learned from someone with experience that parasailing on Boracay is even better. In Bali, it was kind of short. On Boracay, you stay much longer in the air. I missed my chance to do it on Boracay but I am happy to experience it in Bali. If someone would ask if I will try parasailing for the second time, my answer would be yes. Why not? I will definitely try it, if I'll be given the chance to do it.

Learning biking

I didn't know it is so difficult to learn biking until I tried. After falling many times, getting bruises, here I am learning already. It's been more than a week since I started practicing. The bike that I got for myself is not that high, in fact it looks like a kid's bike, but it is not. At first I had a hard time, my legs and arms hurt. But after a few days everything went to normal. And then, when I fell from the bike, I didn't get hurt anymore because I jumped down easily.

I am happy with my bike, since it fits me. Others are complaining about my bike saying it looks like a kid's bike, and some don't like the pink color or the Hello Kitty logo. I replied always: Color and size don't matter, as long as I can learn how to balance it is good enough.

I even tried motorbike already, and I am happy to say that I know how to control a motorbike now. I am just having problem on how to drive at the beginning because the motorbike is heavier when standing than when it is running already. But I hope I can drive alone without my someone's help soon.

On the beach

Last week, I went with my brothers and friends to the beach. Everybody that went with us had fun. We did enjoy it much. We brought food with us for lunch, and everything got emptied. Just the rice wasn't enough for us and we ran out of water. Next time we go on another outing, we will have to cook more rice and bring more drinking water. That's really important.

Anyway, each of us got to eat something. My brothers were there, and most of my cousins were present too. We had fun, looking forward to another birthday outing.

Tired after PE class

I had a tiring day today. In physical education subject, we had a quiz first and then we did stretching. Our PE class starts at 1pm to 3pm every Tuesday. We always start with stretching whenever we have classes in PE. I think it is good for us because it helps us to be flexible and more active.

I was supposed to go to the gym during my free time this afternoon but because I had PE subject today, I postponed gym. Too much physical exercise is tiring. Probably I go just when I don't have school, I have 3 days off every week so I always have time for the gym. Going to the gym just 3 times a week is good enough. No need to go everyday, that would not be good for my body.

Going to gym

I always wanted to exercise at the gym. The only problem that was stopping me from going was my shyness. But I told myself not to be shy anymore, so today I searched for a gym and I found one near Robinson mall. It is not expensive since I got a student discount. I need to gain a bit of weight so I did what's nessesary.

Now at least I have something to do when I don't have school. I can go to the gym at 3x a week for 2 hours. I have to sweat and work hard in order to have a good body shape. And so that I can have more confidence with myself.

To those who are not happy with their body shapes, I think the best solution that you can do is to go to the gym to maintain your body shapes. Or exercise daily at home.

Basketball

I'm not into basketball yet I got a crush on Stephen Curry. Well I'm not saying I know nothing about basketball, since we learn it in school, and basketball has been known one of the world best sports since it started. But I only know few famous player from the basketball world. Those I know are: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry. Those are some of the world's best basketball players. There are some more but I couldn't name them as I don't really watch basketball. About Stephen Curry: he is just too good at basketball. I admire his style of playing. I even watch his basketball videos. I think he will become legendary like Michael Jordan. I believe in his ability. Go, Stephen, we are here for you!
