at 2:00 pm today while we were doing our math workshop my students rushed into the classroom's window to watch the snow flakes drifting from the sky. It lasted only for 5 minutes however good enough to experience my first now...Thank you Lord for bringing me into this place, to experience Your one of a kind creation!

racquetball is great!!!
Health Benefits
Over the past several decades, Americans have seemingly become more interested in exercise and the health benefits associated with being physically fit. Fad exercise programs have come and gone over time--the reason that they come and go is because they are boring, torturous, and overall ineffective at changing personal exercise and fitness habits.
For those who regularly play racquetball, the following health facts and figures are probably not a surprise. It turns out that racquetball is a wonderful exercise activity--and one that is extremely fun and adictive. Unlike many exercise programs where your brain constantly tells your body "this is exercise, not fun," racquetball is both fun and exercise. Remember, you "play" racquetball. Through play, racquetball builds physical endurance, exercises all major muscle groups, and gives a cardiovascular workout.
If Americans would see weekend and late-night infomercials on the health benefits of racquetball, the sport would probably see a resurgence in participation that would rival the rates of the 1980s.
Be sure to also see the Reasons To Play page at PlayRacquetball.org.
FACTS & FIGURES
The average number of calories burned during racquetball play ranges from moderate at 640/hour [Prevention, 1995] to 794/hour [Men's Health, 1995] -- to a high level at 13.7 per minute (or 822/hour) [Sports Training Institute].
An average game will take 20 minutes, during which a player will run a distance of approximately 3,650 feet -- or over two miles in one hour of play. [U.S. Olympic Training Center]
Racquetball players work at a constant rate of 75 to 85% of their maximum heart rate for the duration of a typical racquetball game.
[USRA Elite Training Camp, 1992]
Racquetball offers both aerobic and anaerobic benefits, with both sustained high level heart rate activity and quick bursts of energy required during play.
Racquetball works nearly every muscle group, including sustained, repetitive use of large muscles that increase calorie burn and reduce fat percentage.

crazy and surprisingly lovely monday
11/10/2008 02:13:00 PM Edit This 1 Comment »
since the classes began, i always "quote" Monday as crazy and freaky monday. this is because every after good weekend, i would wish not to work on a monday, plus i believe kids are super restless when its monday. so as expected, i had a very crazy monday with the kids. i had to bare with their noisiness and they are so unfocus. how i wish, to have 2 days of class and 5 days of weekend....however, later this afternoon after class, i had a wonderful and lovely surprise. i went out of the school ahead of the others and i had fun. thanks for the surprise and i would look forward to be with you again....

usher concert and election day

the streets of Washigton DC was full of emotion and excitement when the newly elected president of the United States was proclaimed. So we grabbed the historical moment of being there and we went straight to the White House wherein people, young and old of any race gather there to celebrate the moment...yes, this may be the beginning but i was lucky enough to be in the place ...
