Swimming and Gig Watching

I wish I have lived in Marikina.

I've been into swimming for the last 2 days. I enrolled myself in an Advanced Swimming class (PE 3 SW). I wanted to learn the other strokes in swimming and I wanted to improve my endurance when I swim.

Last Thursday, we had our diagnostic swim but I came in late to class that's why I was not able to swim. To make up, I looked for a way to do my own practice/diagnostic swim. I can't just use the swimming pool we have at the university because our varsity swimming team is using it most of the time because it's their season.

So, anyway, April told me that Marikina has a public swimming pool located at the Marikina Sports Complex. I was looking for one when I opened that topic to her and it happens that they have one in their town.

I inquired about it through the internet and found that it is open daily except Monday. I think this is the only time they do cleaning. Not sure. When I say daily, it's from Tuesday to Sunday. Yes! Six days a week! When I learned about this, I was so happy. I practiced swim last Thursday and Friday. I was planning to practice swim again today but I realized I don't have enough money anymore for the transportation costs and the entrance fee. Yes, they have an entrance fee but it's affordable--40 pesos only.

Going back, I can't practice swim today because I don't have enough money. I've been spending too much this last week plus this new hobby I'm enthusiastically involved in is adding to my expenditures. Also, I have a gig event to attend tonight. It's the Fête dela Musique or the World Music Day. I promised to attend this event with Lala, Gela and other friends long time ago so I can't disappoint them. I'll just have my practice swim again tomorrow. I also really wanted to attend this music event because the last time I attended it was in high school when I was in second year or in third year. I remember it was still held in El Pueblo in Ortigas that time but now, it's happening at Makati City. We're going to the Rock Stage where mainstream and Indie bands are going to play. That's how they do it. They have a lot of stage with different genres of music (reggae/ska, rock, hip-hop, jazz, etc.) and you choose which stage to attend.

So there, that's what keeps me busy for the past. I'm also repeating my thesis because my professor told me to do so. This depresses me for the past few weeks that's why I looked for ways to divert my depression. Also, I miss her so bad.

Enough said.
