My Thoughts Today

November 23, 2006

There are days when I feel like I’m trapped in a bubble and I couldn’t escape. Like I dread facing the fact that my other deams are far from coming true. Last time, I thought about my very short Christmas wish list. Well, now, I have some additional stuff I want and I hope to achieve them so I can finally escape this suffocating bubble I’m in.  Although, it’s not exactly for Christmas. It’s more of my life’s wish list. Here goes:

- intimate beach  wedding
- our own house and lot
- new car
- money savings
- baby

Hmmmm… I know anything is possible these days. I just hope I can discern God’s ways so I’ll know where, when and how to start. Peter, Peachie, my sister and I have been cooking up some preliminary business plans for next year. I hope they push thru. We might be shelling out our entire cash savings but we’re positive that these plans will work and prosper. Some things will just have to  be given up like travelling and shopping. Sigh. We’ll just have to focus whatever extra energy and free time we have on surfing  instead of  going to so many different places almost every weekend and holiday break. After all, we’re already having our very own surfboard custom-made and there’s no turning back from this sport anymore. Good luck to us and more power! :-)
   

Speaking of surfing, I just finished reading THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO SURFING by Peter Dixon  only after a few days. That’s quite fast considering that this book is like the encyclopedia of the surfing world! I guess, I really am THAT interested in this sport. I learned that surfing is not just about having fun at catching waves, but it’s also about learning to watch the nature of the water and my fellow surfers as well  so I could enhance my knowledge of the ocean and the sport . I have to be respectful of the lineup and very good at swimming with strong physical and emotional health before I can master or even just enjoy surfing.  Once I’m confident of my capabilities (meaning, ready to be wiped out on so many occassions) then I am ready to learn various moves and tricks. I’ll definitely be stoked! Well, I already am!  Reading about these things including  its history, the evolution of surfboards and their accessories, as well as similar sports like (boogie)bodyboarding and body surfing made me all the more excited to get better at surfing! I can’t wait! :-) Unfortunately, due to our other scheduled trips and activities (Tagaytay this coming weekend, Boracay on Dec.1-4, wakeboarding at Batangas on Dec.9-10, and GSIS Family Day on Dec.16), we might be able to come back to La Union no sooner than January. Well, at least our surfboard will be ready by then. Yipee! Unles we go there this coming Christmas break (Dec, 23-26). Hmmm… that’s a tempting thought… :-)
