Family + Sweat = Good Times.

These past 2 weekends have been great: More family-filled than I had expected, more exercising than I expected, more spending than I wanted.


Let's see if I can recap:

Friday =
After work it was P90X "Yoga X" w/ Faisal. Talk about extreme yoga! Geez! Who knew you could sweat so much stretching and balancing! Wallkill crew came to sleep over. Slumber party!!
"This is not zen-like!!!!" (--Chris and I on the same page about a yoga environment since I was trying to balance my entire lower body suspended in the air WHILE there is pillow fight + YouTube videos going on in the same living room).

Saturday =
Practiced piano. Aqueduct Flea Market shopping w/ mom and Ate Alena. Pio Pio lunch break w/ the girls. Best Buy, Daffy's, DSW. Ate Chon treated all the adults in the family to indian food. Joaquin, Faisal, and I doing P90X's Legs & Back workout. Joaquin was so tired he spent the night w/ my nephews. Those late night conversations in my living room w/ Mom, Dad, Ate Alena, and myself.

Sunday =
Practiced piano. Just hanging out w/ the boys. Kurt taught me how to play the intro to Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Under the Bridge" on the guitar. Then I played him the intro to a song Jay taught me on the electric guitar. The guitar is great to play, but I feel handicapped with my wrists contorting to different chords; the placement of my fingers/wrist/hand doesn't come natural to me. I'm sticking to the piano.

4pm rolls around and it's off to Mastic Beach, L.I. for Mimi & Charles' informal housewarming (aka, get-together). What a beautiful house and delicious food! I’m so happy for the both of them. *Sniffles* Shell, weren't we still teenagers just yesterday??? Time flies, and BAM! You're an adult w/ a mortgage and a baby on the way! (She's having a girl!! Imagine we ALL have girls?? Crazy, right!?)

Came home around 10:15pm and it was off w/ Jay and Faisal for "Kenpo X" ("Intense cardiovascular workout with punching and kicking for endurance, balance, and coordination"). I cannot believe my body could produce so much sweat! Ok, so for 85 more days, you're going to have to hear me rambling about P90X b/c it is a 90-day program guaranteeing results and kicking ass at the same time. We'll see... We'll see...
