Serendipity

I been offline for sometime. But, hopefully, I could start writing here again soon.

I wish every one of the members here a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. I hope your Christmas a blessed one and happy.

> 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.

I'm looking for my own page, butcouldn't find it. When I open the blog.co.uk what appears is the login page. I want to see my blog page but I'm making the round on this blog site still couldn't find it. I'm not good at computer yet. Hope someone could help me and tell me how to make my blog page the first page to appear when I open this site. thanks

It's raining since yesterday. I was unable to go walking this morning because of the morning rain. I did a little aerobics at home to sweat. It feels good after I sweat. Feel light and energized. I have to exercise for fitness and health sake. And, I disciplined myself to get up at 4:00 in the morning to go walking at the sports complex. 4:30 a.m., I'm off to the sports complex which is about 800meters from my apartment. I have to pass by the ricefields, and national highway which at that early morning hour, it's still dark. there are lamp posts along the national highway, but far and between. I cross the highway on the pedestrian lane to be on the safe side.

From the national highway, it's still 400 meters to the sports complex. The street is wide and lined with acacia trees. On the other side, are exclusive private schools - two are catholic schools, one montessori school and one a public high school. So, by 6:30 a.m., the street is already busy with all the private cars, school buses, tricycles and jeepneys transporting the students.

Once inside the sports complex, I entered the oval field and I do breathing exercise first, and a little stretching and warm up. then, I brisk walk the oval field cum track & field, six times. And, then, go to the volleyball court facing the morning sun, and do various exercises like a little of aerobics, a little of yoga, (particularly the posture and balance), and slimming exercise (I want my tummy to revert to flat again) and then, jog the length of three volley courts, 3 badminton courts and two basketball courts twice. After that, I slowed down, and walk to the tennis court. I learned the basic tennis lesson only last February. I played daily in the morning after my walking/jogging and exercise, with my trainer or sometimes with the ball picker-boys. I still don't have my own racquet because it was expensive. Hopefully, I can buy my own before the end years. I used the trainer's tennis racquet.

Before I took tennis lesson, I went to see an orthopedic surgeon to know if I can still play tennis. He had my knees exrayed and saw a little problem but, he said, I can play provided I won't play pro but just for exercise, and change my sandals to an appropriate tennis shoes. But, tennis shoes is also very expensive. Then, last month, I bought a cheaper one. Unfortunately,I didn't know what I bought was a running shoes. No wonder, my feet hurts after I played. So, I put on again my sandals.

36 days from now, I'll be 66. I feel great. And, happy because I now play the sports of my childhood dream - tennis. There is no other sport for me but tennis ever since I was in grade six. I imagined myself playing tennis when I grow up but not when I grow old. I'm happy, I'm thankful to God, because I was given the opportunity to play tennis even at my age now. It's a fulfillment of my childhood dream. I believe I should keep dreaming and keep it in my heart and mind and pray it will happen one day. And, it happened. My dream has came true. That's wonderful and great.

While browsing, I chanced upon this website. When I opened it, I was glad I found this site. For sometime now, I've been mulling to create my own blog but don't know how. So, when I read the contents of this site, I didn't have a second thought and I signed up.

This is a good site because it gives opportunity to everyone to create own blog. I'm interested in writing - about my seniorhood, and life's journey into the evening of life stage. And, maybe, touch on other aspect of life and experiences.

I posted my first writing yesterday, but when I opened my blog, I found out it was not posted.

Maybe tomorrow, I can again review this site and find out how I can edit a few entries in my blog and will read other member's blogs and perhaps will give comment. tonight, I feel so sleepy already, and couldn't think well. I've been out of the house since morning and I also had my hair trimmed.

This is just a test writing. I hope to write better next entry. I don't want to waste your time when you visit my blog and read my entry because I know all of you are intelligent and are busy people. Just testing this, anyway.

Maybe, Monday, I'll be back here.
