quick note for end of year and beginning of new year.....

a very very nice 2010. a year of many first time for me. 1st time iron-distance race finisher. 1st time coaches' award winner. that 1 was special; especially getting recognition among peers and teammates of the team HPR. in addition, having been 1 of the only foreigner on the team. thanx God, team and coach. other things that i had done; help and/or support people in many different capacities, whether it's thru material, spiritual, physical, mental, and mind. whether it's thru races, opinions, discussions, charities, etc.
out of all the things that i had planned for the year 2010. i know there are many that i was able to achieve, but yet, there were also things that i did, but did not achieve the goal. pessimistic, no way....always think things in a positive way. the cup is always half full. besides, i always thought things that i was not able to achieve were things that GOD have not granted me to have. there is a reason for everything that happened. and yet again, this new year, 2011, i'v come up with kind of a motto.

'...do everything with a reason for a purpose...'

dreams for 2011?
so many of them. maybe even more than 2010. and, somehow they are the things that i'm hunger for more. desire more than ever. really really something that i really really wanted to. hm...too optimistic? maybe...at the same time, i do believe in GOD. i know i won't b able to achieve any of them without HIM on my side. without HIM ahead of me, since HE always prepare the way.
what am i going to do in 2011?
stay tuned.....but for now, sampai jumpa 2010.....歡迎 2011.....Gb...

start...already...?!

here we go...yeach...that's what i usually said every time i'm abt 2 start training and well...rite now i'm already on the 2nd month of training with the team for the 2011 season. man....even the year 2011 has not started yet, but then again...here i am already on some build week on training. as much as the schedule said it should be on base, we had done quite a few hills run...wazzup with that?
having been in the team for abt 4-5years; still sometime i hd no idea what i'm doin'. race schedule is not set on stone yet, but so far i'd thought abt 1 70.3 and 1 140.6. yeach...some things that i thought i would take a break for the year, but yet, i still reeling abt it.
ppl would say hvn't u learned from last season's experience? i guess it's what i had learned from last year experience that made me want 2 do it even more.
it is indeed sometimes hard, especially living in these snowy region, but yet came from the most tropical part of the globe (by equator). training has been trying to dodge the cold. cold meaning with temperature in the teens of fahrenheit, which in the case of from where i came from means it is in negative degrees of centigrade. in addition to that, the slippery and sliding of trying to move around the snow. man.....i dfntly got to get away from here.
hard times like these are being added with the temptations of holiday treats. sweets, cookies, candy, chocolate, anything and everything that could dfntly ruined ur training, especially ur diet. as 1 of my teammates is trying to dodge that with kids, yeach....hv fun with that....
and so, here i am with the team training again for the season. trying to achieve something. some 'impossible' thing that ppl think it's dfntly out of my mind. i know quite a bit of my frenz thought i am losing my mind, then again, i always thanked GOD that HE provided me lots of support; not just from the teammates in the team, but also, a family that understand, and some frenz that do understand, especially the g/f that always supportive....Gb.....
