Un-Wired

This is the obligatory 1st post on my notebook via a wireless router which G bought the day before yesterday.

I spent 45 minutes setting up the network and it’s been smooth sailing since, except for a few password and security issues in the initial stages.

Big hugs and kisses to G for the pressie.

Salsa Lesson #4 – Cross Body Lead (CBL) and Double-Hand Turn

This is the Open-hold CBL.. there are several variations and it’s not as easy as it looks.

The Double-Hand Turn – timing is everything.

Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks

Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldnt help but think of the way things used to be.

She was the one that I’d wanted for all times
And each night I’d spend prayin that God would make her mine
And if he’d only grant me this wish I wished back then
I’d never ask for anything again.

(chorus)
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when youre talkin to the man upstairs
That just because he doesnt answer doesnt mean he dont care
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

She wasnt quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasnt much we could recall
I guess the lord knows what hes doin after all.

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good lord
For the gifts in my life.

*chorus*

Some of gods greatest gifts are all too often unanswered…
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Salsa Lesson #2 – The Back Basic and The Outside Turn

Went for Salsa with G yesterday and we learnt one of the basic turns which looks pretty impressive when done fast. I think she did well for her first lesson and even the instructors and other participants commended her for it. I on the other hand (no pun intended), should take the lead more often it seems.

Coffee at A’s place in Woo Mon Chew Road after that topped off what was already a good night out.

We’re so looking forward to the next class + coffee session!
