Morning Date With Hubby

Jerry (in black) was one of two men in our ashtanga session this morning (Mon).  The other one (in aqua) was a grade/high school classmate of his.  Hubby is (almost) a year shy of 50, so he and his former classmate were probably the oldest in the studio today.  Hehe!

He claims to be slightly inflexible and finds some poses a strain to his injured knee (torn ligament during a basketball game a long time ago).  To manage his sequence, he does modified poses.  He shuns the headstand because he is under maintenance for hypertension, but he does the milder inversions.  

I find it cool that despite the limitations and other factors that could easily intimidate a person or make one consider something else for fitness, he continues to join me.   For us, it has become a couple thing.  He said he feels good after each session we attend. The way we enjoy eating, he is actually amazed when he loses or at least gets to maintain his weight without going to the gym or engaging in active sports.  He credits yoga for that and for his well-being in general.  

Oh, and before I forget...  Where else can he find himself in a room surrounded by lean and lithe, not to mention great looking (ahem), women in form-fitting clothes, right?  He actually said he considers himself lucky.

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
