Pilates

-
A few years ago I bought this DVD that has 10-minute Pilates work outs. I hear only good things about Pilates that's why I decided to give it a try. I did. The exercises seem easy but I couldn't stay on it. For one, I cannot get over the fact that the lady in the video is doing everything so effortlessly. When she lifts and extends her legs on a 45 degree angle, they're straight like arrows for as long as she's showing the move. When I try to do it myself, I can't even get past a minute and I'm done. I don't know why, but that doesn't encourage me one bit. It actually frustrates me. I just feel like what they're showing are not for beginners at all. Ugh! I really want to do some core exercises and I read [heard] that Pilates is the way to go. So, I may just dust the DVD and give this 10-minute work out another try. Hopefully, I'll be able to pull it off this time. I wish.

8 Years....

...since my Tatang passed. Just like my Nanay who 'left' 4 months ahead of him, I miss him so much. I was, am, and will always be his little girl. My throat hurts at this moment while typing because I'm trying not to cry as the little one is here beside me. So who is this man we fondly call 'Tatang'? He's a very hardworking man who spent his entire life trying to make a living to support everyone in his family, some siblings and his mother included. He never finished school because at the age of 16, he was already working full time to help augment his family's income. He got married a bit late [at 29] because of this "responsibility". He and my mother didn't start a family of their own right away because he wanted to help his family a little more I guess. We didn't have a lot of material things growing up but he made it a point to be there all the time. I remember not having a television set for the first 12 years of my life but

You Belong With Me...Little One's Version

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the little one singing with the new Taylor Swift song called: You Belong with Me ... acapella She's a big TS fan right now so that's all I'm hearing around the house lately. The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .
