LiveFit Studio photoshoot: 1st attempt

When you have a one on one session with us at LiveFit, you leave with a therapy program with pictures and descriptions of everything we did at your appointment. Since we have been using older photos, I decided it was time to update our collection. We have about 400 therapy exercises and for our first night of shooting, I think we captured a few good ones. We had good intentions to get a lot of pics done, but soon enough Adam ended up teaching us all to breakdance the last hour ;) sooo fun.

Here are a few pics of me playing photographer...









and then a few pics of us trying to breakdance...




goofy...hehe.

Bic Runga- My two favorites right now...

SWAY

Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better
Of me
Sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
Let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I
Go
Losing my
Control
I'm practising your name
So I can say it
To your face it doesn't
Seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things
You mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
And there's no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everythings turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten
My every afternoon
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you'll Stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Its all because of you
Its all because of you
Now it all turns sour
Come sweeten
My every afternoon
It's time
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true
Say you'll stay


WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE


When I see you smile
It feels like I'm falling
It's not for anybody else to know
The way your face could light the bitter dark of every street
In every town I'll ever go
It's not for anybody else to know
For anybody else to know

When I see you smile
First thing in the morning
It raises curtains on your lazy eyes
Could it be that you and I have the greatest love to ever be
How could this have ever been before?
It's not for anybody else to know
For anybody else to know

When Friday night arrives
We'll let it pass outside the door
This is not for anybody else
Anybody else to know

crazy in...

oh where do i start-

hmm... today, i am happy :)

It's 2:30pm- an overcast day here in LA...in my apartment listening to some music, chillin out and enjoying today. Woke up early this morning to teach class- which by the way, will have a home very very soon. It seems March/April will be the grand opening of Livefit Studio's very first location!! The studio plans are incredible. Lauri (Kamala Love) has done an amazing job with designing the space. New hardwood floors, rubber floors, purrty stone walls, orchids galore and GREAT people, great classes. Collaborating with everyone has been super fun and I can't wait to open the doors and offer all of the cool classes Livefit Studio will have. Alignment therapy, stott pilates, yoga, 360 yoga, dance, budakon.... it's going to be great. yay!

I can't tell you how excited I am about all that... this year is already a little wild, but I'm enjoying the vision coming to life. If only all of my visions would come true I would be most excited. Hey, if you see it, believe in it and it'll happen... I know it will.. I FEEL it. Boy, do I feel it... crazy I tell you.

So I also feel like this year is going to be like no other... on that note, I'm going to end this blog because, well, quite honestly, I feel really happy this exact moment and I'm going to go dance around my apartment while I still have it to myself.

gramps nimedez age 100

he was the greatest grandpa in the world...

"GERARDO A. NIMEDEZ Age 100. He was born to Alejandro Nimedez & Saturnina Anchita in the Philippines, April 20, 1907. He entered into rest at his home in Union City, January 15, 2008. He immigrated to America in 1927, first to Alaska, then Seattle, and finally settled in Oakland, preferring the weather further south. Drafted into the U. S. Army, he served with honor during WWII. He was active in the Rizal Chapter, American Legion Post #598, Oakland, and was an avid gardener. For over 30 years, he was a waitperson at the Claremont Hotel, retiring in 1973. Surviving Gerardo are his wife of 60 years, Josefina; sons Arthur Nimedez, Union City; Gerald (Dawna) Nimedez, Orinda and Alex Nimedez, Phoenix, AZ; grandchildren Siobhan (Ray Pagtakhan) Nimedez, Oakland; Alex Nimedez, Jr., Elk Grove; Amber Nimedez, Los Angeles; Aaron (Vanessa) Nimedez, Elk Grove; Alyssa Nimedez, San Diego; Andrew Nimedez, Phoenix and Garrett Nimedez, San Diego. He is also survived by three great grandchildren, Jordan, Janelle & Joel Nimedez, Elk Grove, and one brother, Greg Nimedez, Hayward."

...and he will never ever be forgotten. As my family gathered to say our goodbyes, I couldn't help but watch my grandmother. I went over to comfort her and she kept saying "no more grandpa..." :( My grandparents were married 60 years and it broke my heart to see her feel so alone, even with all the family around. In the end, I couldn't help but to realize how amazing my grandparents love for eachother really was. I only wish I will have the same in my life- to live just as long, to live just as healthy. To live until the end with the one I love, to stay in love and to cherish it as much as they cherished eachother.

bye gramps... your grandkids love you... especially your 3rd eldest ;)

the red boat

wind whistling thru the air

as the red boat sways back and forth in the water

heads turn as if there were two people right around the corner

yet dark shadows casting down is all they see

fingertips alongside the frame of her face

down her back, wrapping around the small of her waist

eyes shut all you hear is the rhythm of breathing

as the crisp cold air dances along their faces.

eyes open and the beauty of this picture lies within the two 

standing around the corner escaping the world around them

for just one minute.

the boat is still and it is clear

a yellow building

corroded brick

a stream of water

a reflection appears

and a glimpse of pure innocence and beauty between two people

light up the the cold, dark winter day.

 

**Inspired by a glimpse of a photo-

May I ask, what else could you want?
