swimming and tae-bo a day of exercise.

just a very short blog tonight, cos im tired and wanna go to bed early (like i wanted last night, but other stuff happened and it didnt work out).

had a pretty good day today. i like wednesdays cos i only have one class early in the morning and then i generally spend the rest of the day hanging with the korean girls. today i taught linda how to do butterfly (i.e. we went swimming) and kyla gave me a manicure.

omg. and i also had my first experience of tae-bo. kyla took me through a session of it. personally i think louwould have loved it. reminded me of our aerobics class. guess the concept is basically taewkondo mixed with aerobics. all i knew about tae-bo previously is that about 10years ago there was suddenly a craze for it, (or at least it seemed that way), cos there were continual daytime tv ads advertising it as the latest thing. haha, i told kyla that today, she was momentarily happy and excited, but then i added that after probably 1 year i never heard of tae-bo again until i met her. haha

we did the session along to an internet video, with enthusiastic korean tae-bo instructors (and one guy in the background who has the funniest grin always, i reckon he should advertise a toothpaste haha. exercising to a video is funny, kind of like oz aerobics that was on in the mornings in middle-school hahaha. i used to love watching that while dad and i ate breakfast just for their brightly coloured leotards! so retro hahah. but while a little funny at first tae-bo turns out to be a good 1/2 hour of exercise.


and here's my pretty manicure thanks to kyla's artistic skill. i havent had nicely painted nails since china, brought back memories! i like this design, i never did a crisscross one before im pretty sure. looks good though!

i used to watch oz aerobics at 6am at my nonna's house when i was a little fella when mum and dad were working! i fell in love with all those mature women and their coloured outfits...and then my nonna started getting suspicious....and so our love affair ended. sigh.

that's possibly the longest and ugliest sentence i have ever written. but when you study comparative literature you learn that this is quite ok and you just title such works 'thomas the obscure'.......
