So we just got back from the Wushu competition in Berkeley. Brought me that breath of fresh air that I so needed since my guy and I broke up not too long ago. We'd been together for 7 years... It's so weird being single again.
And WOW were there some amazing players at the Berkeley competition!
In particular, I enjoyed watching Tiffany R. and Phillip Dang. Team UCLA's awesome too.. They're so nice and fun in real life too! I can only hope that one day I know what the meaning of strength and control and what being a martial artist is. It seems the best martial artists, like athletes, dancers and gymnists, bring so much more than just physical technique. The martial artists I really enjoy watching are those who bring soul or passion, or some kind of feeling to each motion and make the moves their own....
Until then, I guess I'll be training hard everyday... Loving the iron fan and the straight sword these days :)
The drive back to LA from Berkeley was so beautiful... the sky reminded me of the opening scene in Simpsons where the white cotton clouds float against a perfect blue sky. And there must've been 4 rainbows resting upon the serene lakes.
Then we stopped at this super COOL place where they sold the gamut of farmer fresh fruits and nuts galore. Heaven :) I was soooo happy there! SO HAPPY hehehe
Can't believe another day's gone by.... again. I spent most of today training in wushu, dancing, singing, playing the piano and closing real estate deals. I can't wait to go drifting again tomorrow. insert grins here :D Got a japanese stunts driving coach who's teaching me how to drift race cars. I've done it twice successfully. I think it's a great skill to have, to be able to control your vehicle so well that it becomes a part of you. Can't wait till my motorcycling class too! ^_^
