Birthday Prayer

Well, it’s typical… I ended up working till 6 pm. 🙁

It didn’t really feel that special… but it is my favorite kind… 3 has been my number from birth… 3/3/73 and so 3^3 = 27. And I turned 33… However, what made this memorable is that Chad and Hyun had their baby #3 on my b-day! Hee… get to share it with someone.

I just pray that I will be a bit wiser…

I just pray that I will be a bit more patient…

I just pray that I will be a bit more loving…

I just pray that I will be a bit more understanding…

Jesus lived to 33 as a human. 😉 Happy birthday Miyun!

Remembering the Cross Country Days…

  Back when I was in high school, I ran cross country.  I wasn’t very good but still managed 24 minute 3.1 mile runs.  That’s roughly an 8-minute mile.  However, I weighed only about 130 lbs back then so it was easier.  Now, I weigh swanking 170 lbs and it’s been 16 years later!  😮

  As you know, I have started working out again, and today, I got off work earlier than normal at 2:30 pm because I already fulfilled the time for the two weeks.  So I headed off and ran for 3.4 miles in 45 minutes.  Sure that’s twice slower than before, but I am running at the least.  I hope to lose about 10 to 15 pounds over the next several months this year.  Ah the youth… and hopefully by the end of the year, I can cut down my time to sub-10-minute mile speed.  I usually start at 15-minute mile pace and speed up to 10-minute mile pace.   So today’s speed was about 13.x-minute mile…  Oh well, you gotta start somewhere.  😉

Family “Picnic” Day at the Bay Area Park

Well, after about a month of busy work, I was getting some break and so decided to take off work early at 3:30 pm.  Anna was very antsy and wanted to get out so we decided to make it a day out at the park.

It was a perfect weather for it too.  The kids played for about an hour at the local Bay Area Park playground and then I went to pick up a pizza and ate at the park.  Then we strolled down to the pond area where the ducks and the swans and everything inbetween stayed.  JJ took particular interest to them.  It was a good time.  Something we all needed, for sure.

Perhaps we will do this weekly.  🙂
