Punching our way to Fitness

For the past few weeks, Gia and I have been going home with aching shoulders and bruised legs because we have been attending -- get this -- Muay Thai classes. 

Whoa! Yes, I know. The girly-girl in me is totally bewildered by the idea. But that's why I have decided to do it all the more. The idea of being completely helpless when the bad guys (bad guys talaga, sige na nga, guys with bad intentions) choose to steal my purse or hold me at gunpoint scares me more. I mean yes, you got to choose your battles and one's life is more important than her purse or her cellphone... but I want to know that I can at least defend myself when such unfortunate circumstances arise. 



So that's what we have been doing lately and it was so much fun! There are moments when I just scream silently in my head, panting for dear life... and other times, I not-too-silently tell my coach "wait lang, eto na!" especially when he is asking me to do 30 crunches straight (ab work out will be the death of me) but that's when you have to push yourself farther.


There are so many options now to be fit and healthy... There's circuit (for the busybodies), spinning classes (really expensive stuff, whyyyy), dance classes, gym and tons of different sports. 

So if you want to try boxing, Muay Thai. Jiu Jitsu, or MMA, here a few places worth checking out:

Before, my office mates used to tell me, "sige ikaw pag nagkaanak ka na..." well, I am still yet to have a baby, and here I am, already sporting a bulging tummy. I can now attest to my office mates well-meaning warnings. It's true guyyyys.

Bridal Shower Ideas

Hey pretty ladies! Throwing a bridal shower for your dear friend soon? Here are some ideas that you may want to explore :)

i love You

Just sneaking in a post to share how God has been good to me all my life :) Somehow, no matter how much I try or anyone tries, I haven't felt loved and I couldn't love the way God loves me. When I talk to people and I try to describe God's love, every analogy falls short... simply because His love is just so much more intense and it's unconditional. For this post, I want to share the role that love plays in allowing God to be the Lord of my life. :) When we talk about Lordship, it usually entails a sharp intake of breath and begrudgingly opening our hands to release something that we have held on for too long... but Lordship can also be a natural response to what is already made complete in us. Lordship, at its best, is an expression of love. :)

This Thing Called "Grace"

I'll be off work for the rest of the month (yaaaay!) and I'm excited to just sit in coffee shops, with my notebook on hand, or to plop a pillow on the bed and catch up on my reading list... Excited for the quiet stillness that the next several days would bring. There are still merry making days and huling-hirit parties but there will also be quiet times in which I could t just soak in everything and I know that it will do my soul well :) With all the busyness that this season brings, just taking a few moments to take everything in will do you good too :)
