The night before proceeding to my mission, I was so anxious, may be excited to finally come back where I’m used to do early in the morning. I set my alarm clock at 0400H for me to wake up to give me 30 minutes  ample time to  meet  my personal needs and necessities because at exactly 0430H was set as my jump off time.  As usually experienced, when there were activities with so much plans to be performed  or done on the following day, the conscious mind seems controlling the body giving no enough time to rest thus I find it hard to sleep, even if I already fall asleep my subconscious readily took over and woke me up before the alarm clock rang.

So I went to bed earlier than it was in the previous nights prior to my mission. True to my experience as if somebody whispers my ears and I got up before the mobile phone alarm beeps. Do you believe that? Huh….it happened again. Then I answered my personal necessities with no hassle, drank my early water therapy and took my herbal artery “declogger” without much fuss but still I had 15 minutes left before jumps off time. So to make use of the idle time I opened my Face Book account in my laptop and here and there have chatted my friend.

Finally I was ready. Wearing new black AVIA rubber shoes, compliment from my son Clem A., with matching blue sacks, blue polo shirt and blue short pant I walked briskly towards Almansor Court. I arrived there with so much fun, witnessed many “Rise and Shine” activities, Golf, playing basketball, brisk walking, jogging, mostly they were Asians, and others doing a health dance or exercise, called T'ai chi ch'uan or Taijiquan,  majority of them I thought were Chinese people. These group of people surely did their worked out without eating first and drank only water during the exercises. So at the Mission Road, Almansor Court house of banquettes and the like is inside the Almansor Park. I must do and accomplish my mission, to perform my routine every morning there at Almansor Park if possible, brisk walking following the green rubberized oval path for joggers. With great motivation, I can juxtapose with the "Sunrisers."

Christmas season is coming! The Christmas holidays bring joys, and  many parties, and i can anticipate most of us could not ignore the tempting fatty and rich calories food which eventually, many countervailing dietary pitfalls may result. Warning! If this behavior is unchecked, the health consequences can be fatal and dangerous.

Best remedy go to Almansor Park, or gym, find your enjoyable, convenient activities and start your own exercise regimen.
