It's Wednesday night. I'm sitting in front of my PC and writing about how my day went, as promised. No use beating 'round the bush so here goes...

I had so much FUN!!! (Note the repeated exclamation marks) Whohoo! >,<

Now here's the part where I put all the gory details. We left the house at around quarter to 5pm. It was raining cats and dogs. Kingspointe Parkway was very far from our place but we made it just in time, thank goodness. On our way there I was really quiet - no clumsy fidgeting or bitting of nails or endless ranting. I mean, I didn't know what to expect. I tried to act cool and blase about it. Dunno if Daddy fell for the act, though.

Anyway, when we got there, they had already started! I only had enough time for a quick visit to the restroom. Then Mike (the instructor - tall, 20-something... Not sure whether he's Brazilian or Portugese) gestured to us to join the students who were running around in a circle.

*Tagalog na para mas masaya, sumusuko na rin ang powers ko - I've had a long day*

Edi ayun nga, it was now or never. Sumama kami ni Anna, running... running... and running around in a circle... Hay, buti na lang wala pa yung ibang mga dadi na palaging nakadungaw sa bintana nung studio. Di nila nasaksihan ang kahiya-hiyang 10 push-ups ko. No, di po ako bad girl kaya napa-push ups ako. Kasi naman, they play this game (warm-up) where all the students run and run around in a circle. Then when Mike claps his hands, you try to grab a partner. It's like a cross between Trip to Jerusalem and Open the Basket. At ciempre tulad ng inaasahan sa isang uugod-ugod na baguhan (duh, I'm the tallest and eldest), naging taya ako. The "it" does 10 push-ups and afterwards, rejoins the circle of sweaty, running kids. At naging taya ulit ako (strike 2!)... buti na lang di na 'ko pinag-push ups ulit. Salingpusa daw muna ako. Yay.

After more running around in circles, we did a lot of basic exercises: crunches, army man, stretching, "ze butterfly" (Sit like an Indian yogi and flap your thighs, butterfly!)... Tapos tinuruan na kami nung basic moves and locks. That was cool! A lot of the moves would actually come in handy during bed wrestling fights. Bye-bye boring pillow fights! Plus, I met Camilla, a 14-yr old [Portugese?] girl who was very sweet, friendly and very pretty. She seems to have no clue about how beautiful she is. But beware, she is one tough wrestler. Last week, I saw her take on Steven, an advanced student who stands 5'7 tall!

Every muscle in my both arms is screaming in pain, but it's good I ditched aikido and tried BJJ instead. Ang saya ko kasi di ko naman inexpect na ganito yung magiging turn-out of events. This is something new for the literature-loving, sports-hating, piano-playing, journal-writing, blog-hopping girl that I am. I'm glad I had taken the time to grab this chance of learning a new skill! :)
