dear on-Line journal,
Well, yesterday was a long day for me due to the fact that when I woke up I went directly to the gym for my tuesday thursday workout schedule after that I went to DLSU for jiu jitsu training. After training it was school time for me. Still another boring class.. When class was finished I ate some q balls again then a friend of mine, Jessica rode with me home.. It was so traffic in the south Luzon express way that me and Jess were talking about eveything from the daily going-ons of our lives and even the camera pictures on her phone. After I brought her home I went for a quick eat at botchogs since P50 was the only money in my wallet.. Gotto and tokwa rocks for just the price of P19. Finishing off my meal I went to fetch Mico and off to jon's place for more jiu jitsu training. I jost got whooped in jiu jitsu and im not even sure if im ever gonna be good at the art. I've been facing a lot of opponents stroner than me and technique far mor refined than mine. I guess the losses are starting to bruise my ego. But to say the least im a much better jiu jitsu fighter than the people i started out with. At least i know that im well off than my batchmates cuz i've been training hard with people way much better than me.
at around 10:00 pm we stopped training cuz it was Go warrior time! yeah! The show featured brazilian jiu jitsu. and the host Rolan Ousborne was being teached by Gracie black belter of jiu jitsu Royler (pronnounced as Hoyler) Gracie. After teaching some of the techniques he went off to meet up with jiu jitsu granmaster Helio Gracie, 10th level blackbelt of the art at the age of 91 and father of Royler. What a lucky guy being invited to Helio's home for a private lesson from one of the people who popularized the art in Brazil. Roland also interviewed some of the best students of Gracie jiu jitsu who formed their own schools such as Manimal Jiu Jitsu and a brazilian jiu jitsu instructor who taught jiu jitsu to street children in order to teach them discipline of the art. You gotta just give respect to those kids being blue belters at a very young age. They could even execute suave armbars to even older people like me. What a nice way to stay away from drugs. I just envy them because jiu jitsu is the number one sport in Brazil aside from soccer and it brought to the Brazilians discipline and a sense of pride. How I wish that was the same thing here in the Philippines, being prideful of ones' culture and heritage. Going back to the story they also went out surfing and of course what better place to do grappling other than the beach? I'd like to try that sometime with my friends with whom I'm training with. its around 3:12 here in um and i have a class at akic at around 3:40. Well i guess i'll leave it up to there.. later..
