One down side: San Juan Capo and Mission Viejo are super hilly cities, so it's going to take quite a while to build up my stamina to get around more places. Not only that, the trailer can get pretty heavy. Elijah weighs about 28 lbs, the trailer alone is 33 lbs.
I guess that makes me IT, thanks Phisch. That's OK, my first blog post has been very long in coming anyway, so this makes for good motivation.
My random eight:
1. I work at a company that is all about motorcycling and motorcycle safety but I don't know how to ride, nor am I interested at all. One look at our So Cal freeways and you'll know exactly why. ScooterSchool, on the other hand, I find very interesting indeed (*envisions scenes from Roman Holiday and cute celadon hued Vespa with matching helmet*).
2. The last time I was on a motorcyle, I think I was only 6. My uncle rode a motorcycle and frequently shuttled my sister, brother and me (yes, all of us at the same time) to our grandparents house. I am still shocked to this day that my mother allowed such a thing. Then again, it was her bright idea to send Phisch and EG down the hill in their toy car (I'll let Phisch tell that story since I wasn't even born yet).
3. I've taken two ATV classes through my work, they were lots of fun. I could see myself ATVing, if my lifestyle and environment was conducive to it but I have no storage or money for it. I tried to get my nephew NM in a class, but they left for Austin so quickly I didn't get the class arranged soon enough. BTW, here's another random tip for you all which I found out too late. Any child in the state of CA (minimum age 6) can take our ATV class for FREE. I didn't even know that until after I tried to arrage a class for NM. You don't need to bring anything. Gear (helmets, gloves, boots) and ATVs are all supplied.
4. I have an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, for which I am very proud because my dad worked very hard to make sure we got a good education.
5. It took me 6 years to finish college, mainly because I wasn't prepared for life. I spent a year after high school languishing at home (I finally convinced my dad to let me go), two years in community college when I really should have gone straight to 4 year college. In fact, I could have shaved off a whole year (or more) of college with that IB diploma.
6. The street I grew on in the Philippines was Ortega, in the barangay of San Juan. I now live in San Juan Capistrano, Ortega highway being one of its main arteries.
7. I learned how to ride a bicycle all by myself.
8. I used to have a pet duck, and it won 1st place during Pet Day at my kindergarten.
Who can I tag? Nobody at this point. Everyone I would tag has already been tagged!
