I arrived 10 mins late for Body Jam, stressed. I always arrive late for these classes so instead of it being therapeutic for me, I end up getting pissed off. So anyway, my tension faded eventually - it was a good session and the instructor - soooooooooobrang galeng, may breakdance pang nalalaman! (too bad replacement instructor lang ata sya…) Anyway, in class, the instructors would always tell us to 'bring it on' or to 'dance with an attitude' etc. etc. but there was one girl who exceeded all instructors' expectations and literally danced like no one was watching. She did not mind if she missed the step and the tempo 70% of the time. That was all right because everyone misses steps once in a while. What made her really stand out were the jogging pants she wore that rode low on her hip and a sweat jacket that connected just above her pant line. So imagine, everytime she would raise her arms over her head (out of tempo… mind you), we see - NO, not a sliver! but her whole midsection... and more!!! Although she was of medium built, something about her very visible pelvic bones and 'above-the-butt' dimples made me just want to cover it up with a permanent bandage and talk to her parents. I don’t know... I hate to be mean and I'm sure she was just having fun but really, if she wore a full leotard instead, just to cover her midsection, it would not have been half as bad.

Moving on, I don’t usually attend Body Combat because it was too strenuous for me (I could never get past 25 minutes.) But I didn’t feel like working out so I just stayed in the class. Surprisingly I finished the whole hour. So I was really looking forward to the Yoga class where I can relax and all that. My mistake apparently! Because unlike the gentle flow yoga I previously attended, I think the class I joined was called dynamic yoga so we were moving nonstop from an inverted position (downward dog) to an upright one (warrior 1-2-3) to a twisting position, etc. About 30 mins into the thing, I found myself on the verge of an emotional breakdown brought about by a mixture of frustration, strain on the muscles, and probably all the inverted poses putting blood and pressure on my head. NOTE TO SELF: Yoga is supposed to relax the mind and soothe the body. So when while doing yoga, you suddenly start bawling your eyes out... STOP! because something is probably wrong. The yoga instructor was really good though, and Oh My God - is she flexible! Show me a person who could do an upright split with her head touching the shin of her leg that's on the ground.. At nakukuha pa niyang magsmile!

Anyway, pinangatawanan ko rin yung class na yun… but I cancelled the swimming session already, much to my friend's dismay hehe =D I spent 10 mins in the steam room and then hopped into a lukewarm shower. I still met up with my friend and we just strolled a bit around the mall. I had to go home right away, because we were having dinner for an aunt's first year death anniv. I forgot what I did already after that - probably watched a movie and then slept around 12.

When I woke up the next day, I felt as if I had slept in a cocoon. And I don’t mean like a baby ha... I say cocoon because I could barely move anything - stretch, stand up, yawn, swallow - without putting on a really ugly twisted uncomfortable facial expression with a matching 'aaaaaahhhhhhh… aaaaaaaaaaahhhhwwww…. Aaahhwwwwwccch!' To complicate matters, I felt two mouth sores brewing up a storm at the most inconvenient place you could think if (if you ever thought it was possible to get it there) - on my tongue, where else! One at the back of the tongue almost near the throat and the other near the tip. So Imagine, everytime I speak or eat something - its really hell =( As if it werent enough, my sinus(es or ites) was acting up and something hurt at the back of my throat. I had to cover my nose with a cloth because I had to breathe warm air so my sinus didn't hurt. So I spent the whole of Sunday with every twitch of my muscles causing an internal commotion. It was only around 9.30 pm when we were watching Spider Man 3 that I remembered I have Omega Pain Killer. And as you will have it, the small bottle was bound to expire on June 2008. What luck huh! So I put as much OPK as I can on my back, arms and neck before I had to throw it out. It relieved the muscle pains a bit. But that didnt stop me from baking a few batches of cookies and I ended up sleeping around 1 am. One and a half hours later, a hubbub (syn: commotion - ahahahah nag thethesaurus kasi ako! =P) woke me up again, because some kids thought it was funny to throw stones at our gate and cause a ruckus among our house askals. Afterwards, I drifted in and out of sleep until 6 am.

Before I knew it, Monday na naman. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel too sleepy yesterday. I even planned on attending a body jam class after work but I skipped it instead and sumabay na lang ako kay sister dear pauwi. I went to the gym this am for a 30 minute session pero I felt a headache coming so I didn’t push myself anymore. I get sick everytime I'd have a major gimik or a looooong weekend like this one. Sinipon tuloy ako ngayon, sa left nose nga lang (Aba aba aba! Sosyal ang sipon ko - selective!)

Oh hell… when will I ever learn??
