| So today, just before practice, it started to drizzle.
Then when we started our training for Blocks, it poured. :)
HO DANG. It sure was COLD but standing under the rain, I felt a lot my troubles being washed away. I would've stayed under the rain if it wasn't for the cold. :(
Anyway, I find it so amazing, beautiful and *inserts word* to see us run and the others run under the pouring rain because it just shows the dedication we have for the sport. :) And it sure gave me a lot of hope and inspiration. To see coach stand in the rain without her hoodie to coach us just shows me how much she really cares for us and her conviction and determination which just never fails to amaze me.
I guess thats all I wanna say. Is that I am just purely blown away by things like this. It is something that I would call absolute beauty. Really.
* cheers I guess..? No? Maybe not..? * | | |
| People ask me why I swim and do track at the same time.
Well, it is pretty simple really.
How bout I answer those questions one by one now..?
Q: Why did you join swimming?
Me: I did it cause Adam said that we were gonna go to Canada for a competition but because I was not a US citizen, I needed a Canadian Visa, didn't get one in time but I stayed in it cause I felt that I needed the exercise. :)
Q: Why did you join Track then?
Me: I have been running since I was like 11 and up till 17, I ran like EVERY year. Then when I got here, I was like, why not, since I used to run anyway. :) No regrets dude. :) I love Track and Field! :)
Q: Why are you doing both?
Me: Simple, it just clashed a bit. -.- I'm just waiting for swim season to end.
There. I think that was short and sweet. :) I hope you guys are reading this cause I have people asking me the same question like EVERYDAY. So bleagh. There we go. Puked it out for yooh. (I like saying yooh instead of you nowadays, wonder why)
Okay so, yes. Yes.
ON A SIDE NOTE....
I had the most disgusting dream last night. I am like physically sick from it. No, seriously, you know those times when people say that they're gonna puke because of something that they saw or something someone said or whatever? I never really thought they actually felt that way but dude, THIS MADE ME WANT TO PUKE. No, seriously. All day, sick. Yuck. Can't eat, yuck. Sick. Okay. Yeah. Nuff said, I'm going round in circles now.
* because all it is now is just a beautiful echo playing over and over and over in my head like a tape in a broken recorder. *

| This has affected me so much that I decided to write up a post dedicated to it.
Meet Coco.
A cute little kitten that my dear friend Nawwar had rescued. A someone I had been so excited to meet.
He passed away on the 2nd of February. Poor thing has been suffering for a while now and took its last breath in front of my kawan's very eyes. :( I can only imagine the pain she had to go through watching the cute little fella go.
Rest in peace Coco. | | |
| Walking into the Gymnasium of UCLA, I certainly did not know what to expect.
Walking up the broad stairs that led to the gymnasium, I was concentrating on the mutters of the people in front of me as I deeply and passionately complained about the chilly weather outside and how I regretted the lack of jeans.
As soon as I entered the brightly lit room, I am struck by the huge amounts of people in Kendo outfits, holding their Shinais and warming up before the big tournament. I watched in awe as people of all ages and sizes competed against each other. Screaming their lungs out and fighting their hardest.
My first ever Kendo experience. It sure was very interesting. :) It kinda reminds me of so many years ago when I first heard of Kendo. How my dad explained that it was fighting, japanese style with a sword like stick. :) And how uninterested I was. Ah. How today had proved that yet again, I had made a bad bad bad decision in life. MMH.
And for some odd reason, my camera is unwilling to churn out those beautiful photos that I took today. I'll see what I can do tomorrow. :)
Meanwhile, the new semester starts tomorrow. Felt like yesterday when I first stepped on campus. It sure felt like yesterday when I was so excited to be in Photography. Hmm. Well, now it is a new semester, new everything. Challenges especially.
I guess I am not alone when I say that this semester is going to be a crazy one.
3.5 more years to go guys! :) | | |
