Valentine’s Day ... Again

I swore to myself that this year I will not put on “Sleepless in Seattle” on the DVD player and watch it while eating a whole tub of ice cream again. I’ve done that for the past 12 years and it’s time that I change that.

So I plan to go to the gym tonight and go to my first spinning class instead. That would get my mind off Valentine’s Day. Hopefully the gym doesn’t do something corny like couples night or something just because it’s Valentines.

Still .. just to be sure that I don’t turn out to be a grouch about it, here’s a little something that has been stuck in my head for the better part of the week.

Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered – Celine Dion
CD: Mona Lisa Smile OST

I'm wild again, beguiled again,
A simpering, whimpering child again;
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep,
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep;
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

Lost my heart, but what of it?
He is cold, I agree.
He can laugh, but I love it,
Although the laugh's on me.

I'll sing to him, each spring to him,
And long for the day when I'll cling to him;
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

Well .. it's not where you spin around, stop then stumble around like a drunk person .. although those are fun to do too if you're bored.

"Spinning" is basically a term/slang used to describe indoor cycling classes that they have at the gym. Usually it's instructor led and have fast/dance music playing to set the pace if the participants cycling. Was told that it's a great cardio workout so I'm trying it out for my PT off day.

I see .. i think the term "spinning" has been treadmarked so other gyms need to use different terms for it.

I have yet to try any of the other classes at the gym ... felt too self conscious in group situations at the gym .. trying to change that slowly.

At the moment .. the spinning (rpm) class looks like the best fit for me because I already have 3 PT sessions in a week.

Happy Birthday to you, Nick. I got to know your blog from Beruang Madu's blog.

I must say I'm flattered to know that my blog is linked to your 'Daily Blog Read List'.
