Another stroll...

I walked home again today. You've gotta love daylight saving!! :) And the lovely warm weather.

I was a little puffed by the time I was about a block from home, so that was good. Get my heart pumping just that little bit more...

Compliments (continued)

When complete strangers come up and compliment you on your dancing, then I think that's pretty amazing. I was on my way to work this morning when someone recognised me on the street. ON THE STREET. I couldn't believe it. I felt like a celebrity! LOL But it's such a good feeling though, that I am actually inspiring others. To think that li'l ol' me could actually invoke such emotions...!

Compliments

I've been receiving a number of compliments on my dancing lately. As with any sort of training, the development is so gradual that I hardly ever notice it. But there have been occasions when I can feel that my spins are a lot faster, and some of my moves are a lot sharper. So all the hard work (and $$!) is actually starting to pay off...!! :D

Change? How much?

I have a friend who I believe has changed dramatically since she started studying medicine at uni. I think it just got to her head, and now she thinks that she's better than everyone else. She puts everyone down (including her own partner), and makes it out as if she knows it all and that no one else could possibly know as much about anything as she does. Whenever she's talking to you, she puts on this tone so that it sounds like she's lecturing you, that she's doing you a favour for imparting her knowledge on to you.

She is just so intolerable now, to the point where I just don't even want to talk to her anymore.

I know this is just one person, but if I decide to go in to this field, would I also change? And would the change be so gradual that I wouldn't even realise it, which is perhaps where she is at now??

Walking

I decided to make good use of the extra sunlight, and walked part of the way home today. It was pretty good exercise, actually, I was slightly puffed by the time I arrived home. I should try and do that more often, to help me get my fitness level up a little bit more. And obviously being fit will help on the dancefloor... ;) That should be incentive enough for me, I think! LOL

I'm thinking of walking home at least once or twice a week during daylight saving, but then thought that would mean I would have to bring my sneakers with me each time. I wouldn't really want to be walking in my heels, not to mention the wearing down of the shoes.... Although I used to work with someone who walked to and from work EVERY DAY. I think she said it took about 45min each way. Now that's dedication for you! I, on the other hand, may just settle for 1-2x a week one-way. During spring/summer. :)

And at one point during my walk home, I was walking behind this man and his little sausage dog. The sausage was so small that it must have still been a pup! So cute! His little legs just scrambling to keep up with his owner. Hehe!

Daylight Savings

We have entered the daylight savings season! I LURRRRVE daylight saving, it is my favourite time of the year. I wish we could have daylight saving all year... LOL

Apparently we are getting an extended daylight savings period this time round, I believe a few additional weeks. Happy happy joy joy!

Oh, and btw, I am loving my new work. It's been about 3 months now, and I have had no regrets about the move. I love the work, my boss, and the people that I work with on a daily basis. I wonder if I have ever liked any of my past roles as much as I do this one. Happy happy joy joy! :D

(I wonder if my enthusiasm is being buoyed up a little simply because it's a Friday... hmmm...)

Walk the dog (oops, I mean cat)

There's this guy in our apartment complex who walks his cat. It is so cute! (Both the cat and the act of walking the cat) And he doesn't keep his cat on a leash, the cat just happily walks around nearby, and never strays far from its owner. So adorable!
