I always procrastinate. I put aside writing to this blog. I want this space but sometimes, I don't spend time here.

Not sure what to write - that sometimes keep me away from this site. but, I always think I should go back here and write.

Maybe what I should do is practice writing even without any subject matter. Just hodge-podge. At random.

Our weather is changing. Could be the effect of global change. It is summer here but the last several days, it's raining, and the temperature went down a few notches. It's cool when it supposed to be hot. There's rain when summer supposed to be dry.

There was a low pressure area that caused the the rain and lower temperature. And, because it rained, I can't play tennis, unable to jog. I did indoor exercise just so I won't skip my physical fitness exercise.

The weathermen here said it is unusual, and abnormal the weather for the last several days. It's summer and yet it's raining, causing floods, mudlide and flashflood in some towns.

April and May is summer months here. Come June, is the start of rainy season.

2009

I don't want to make any New Year's Resolution(s). I can't keep faithfully the ones I've made last year. I'll just try my best to post whenever I have the time or feel like it.

I'm here just so to make this site know I'm interested to be here. Hopefully, I'll have time to write here, and good ideas what to write about. Can't decide what topic to write, that's why.

So, I hope everybody is doing fine, and well in their blogging here. I hope to read all's entries here.

tennis clinic and tournament

by augustdawn @ 2008-06-04 – 15:56:08

I'm back! I was inactive for sometime - sorry about that. But, I haven't forgotten this site. I intend to stay here and write something Sometimes, I procrastinate, thus, when I have the time to write, I lost the words and eventually, the interest.

I joined the tennis clinic last May 5 to May 16.   There were about 25 attendees -all were young boys and girls, and college students, and I was the only senior in the group. I enjoyed the camaraderie and the lessons we learned were truly beneficial to us.

The clinic was held in the afternoon at 2:00 to 5:30, and gosh! the afternoon sun was incredibly hot. The sunlight was so bright. It was summer here, that's why. Ours was an open tennis court - thus, open to scorching sun, and rains, too.

By May 16, we had our tournament.   There were 6 groups - according to age group.   I played in the third group.   I won the semi-finals -score of 7 - 5.   At the finals, I lost - 5 -2.    I was third place only.

But, I enjoyed the play so much. It was exciting and a new experience to me.

I play every morning after my jogging and exercise.   And, I noticed that my wrists, arms and shoulders are gaining strength that I can smash the ball to my opponent.   And, my footwork is getting even faster now.   I can reach and scoop the ball and throw it to the opponent. It was hard to scoop the ball when it bounced so low. My coach is glad at my good showing, and he's happy that I'm learning fast and good; that others said I wouldn't be able to withstand the play.   But, now the saw that I can finish two games!

Tennis is exciting sports for me.   So, I hope to play for as long as I can.

There was a thunderstorm as I write this.   The thunderbolt is deafening. And, it's raining.   It's rainy season now here in the Philippines.   Five typhoons had already came and gone.   And, there's a low pressure again and so we expect some more rains.

If it continues to rain till early morning, we can't play, even if it is drained of rainwater, is surely wet and slippery.   The court is of asphalt and cement.

I'll close this here because the thunderstorm is getting too close on the roof and thundering bolt is like sensurround to the floor.

Good day to everyone

I'm back but not much yet to write. I just want to maintain my blog here because I still plan to write when I have the time.

It's still cold here in the Philippines. It's 21 degrees Celsius, and no typhoon. It's the best time to visit the PHilippines if anyone would care to come. Daytime is still chilly, and cloudy for the past week. Evening and early morning is cold. The wind is chilly. And, drizzling. It's a beautiful feeling when it's gently drizzling and chilly.

Other countries I read are having very very cold weather - in the minus degree. Here, we don't have snow. No winter. We only have to seasons - the dry and the wet (rainy). I hope those in the cold countries will have respite from snowy weather. I hope every one is in good health despite the cold weather in their countries. And, happy. Please smile everybody. I care for everybody.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Just 3 hours to go and it's 2008, We're now celebrating New Year's Eve. The neighbors in my area are already lighting the firecrackers as early as this morning. And, right now, the firecrackers explosions are deafening to the ear. Every one - young and old, man and women, the children and seniors are excitedly exploding firecrackers.

The fireworks are beautiful. It's like painting in the sky. I like to watch the fireworks. There are different designs, and as it explode in the sky, the people are silent for a moment and then they exclaim "OH", "AY" "AH" Fireworks and firecrackers are a must in New Year's celebration.

I have special but simple foods for this New Year's Eve celebration. I expect my children to come and we will celebrate together, and then partake the foods I prepared and cooked.

I like New Year's celebration. It's the merriest celebration for me. There are neighbors whose Karaoke are now churning danceable song. There will be singing and dancing and singing among the young ones. There will be drinking among the men here. This will end till the wee hours of the morning, January 1.

And, tomorrow, the streets will be littered with spent firecrackers and fireworks. So much to clean and clear away

I greet every member here HAPPY NEW YEAR. My wish is WORLD PEACE, HARMONY, LOVE and UNDERSTANDING among Muslims and Christians, and Prosperity and good health to all the members here.

> There are many things to write about, yet, when I sit before this machine, my mind wander away and I can't retrieve the ideas what i want to write. I came here tonight just to write an entry so as this blog won't be deleted. I'll make notes on pad paper of ideas I want to write so as not to forget them. And, next time, I have something to write about. I'm learning also to put images and pictures here. I have some pictures I'd like to insert or upload here in the blog, but don't know yet. I'm self-studying how, and hope in due time, I'll learn about it. I want my blog to be beautiful and relevant.

Good night everyone.
