Bicycling and Climbing.. What a Great Combination!

I had a great weekend.

1-) I had a bicycle tour in a sunny Saturday with my friend. We started from 49th St, trough Hudson River till Battery Park. The plan was go all over Manhattan coming back from China Town, but.. the conversation was almost like that:

	everything is nice, ready, let's go!
	hmm.. it's a bit cold ha?
	it's warm now.. view is great.. I'm listening music and singing :) but, wind is coming in front of us.
	the parks are beginning and they are nice..
	it's too windy.. I'm cold..! I don't want to be sick, can we just take the subway?

	I can't go from China town, let's just turn back from here, wind will come back of us..
	aww, what's that?? ahaha it's snowing!! :)
	I can't seee!! the wind is again in front of us!
	2 blocks more...
	and it takes forever to go upstairs cause I can't walk!! but in the end at home.. :)

2-) Let me introduce you with my new muscles :) On that sunny Sunday, I went for climbing, of course indoor. It was  my first professional class and try, and guess what? I was good. I liked it.. I climbed really hard parts, and I'm writing 2 days later now, my back muscles still hurt me so bad!! Yes, I think they are my parts that never worked before..

My suggestions:

• Before an activity such as climbing, don't do a 2 hours biking tour if you're not used to.. Give at least 2 days break.
• Do bike tours, it's one of the best thing to do in the city.
• Don't do it in the cold :( You sweat, but the wind is cold, and you can get sick..
• Carry some vitamin water, and basically a water cap, you can fill it on the way.
• Make eye contact with all these nice looking athletic women and men you cross ;) And maybe with some puppies :)
• Climbing, oh, it's really hard.. Even for me (i'm a monkey (:), it was difficult after 1 hour. My arms and hands were shaking.. 
• Yep, shortly, enjoy your body.. =)

Edit: Get ready for marks on your knees, and hands cause of climbing.. my mom would describe it "like a kid" 

A New Chapter In My Life

Oh boy,

I'm in love.. I can't stop thinking about her. It makes my little heart beat faster.. I'm deeply in love with my close-future bicycle..

I don't know how it happened but, I never had a bicycle lifestyle, I can't believe it.. It makes your body fit, you can watch around, you can stop whenever, park everywhere, free, and it's cute :) Whenever I travel, I always try to rent a bike if I get a chance to discover the city, and how come I never thought to have one? Whatever, it's still not too late :) Yes, I'm looking to buy one like below. If you see her somewhere, please let me know my NYer friends! Now, get ready to meet with my future bike, and the bike lifestyle in the city, yiwhueeeee:

beautiful, right? a vintage style bike with a basket! haha, I can put my books, extra shoes,  drinks, fruits, everything-everything..

hmm, what else? I can put Wolf in there :)

I can go to the riverside and biking and feel the breeze and stop if I wanna watch the NJ skyline.. :)

I can go out with this? to meet with friends? park at the outside, and lock it.. then go back home with it :) 

I can draw some art stuff like that because I understand the bike lovers now.. I feel so stupid. I am the one who loves physical activity and nature: here it is! 

this one is a little bit real old bike that can stop working easily, so nope. but can you imagine people were riding these in the history at the same roads we're using now..

Europe. in Amsterdam, I remember women were exactly like that. Italy, sounds good, but they are also crazy drivers & crazy roads.. 

Probably I should be careful in the city, I'll make a research about that and will write it here :)

love. I think this should be love. by the way, I can go with my turtles to Central Park :) haha. who said only with dogs?!

It's still in my list to buy a motorcycle, but in NYC, it's really dangerous (crazy cap drivers, they literally don't know how to drive). So, my lovely ninja will wait a little bit more, till I'll be sure about it.

this ninja is small, sexy, fast enough and just like my type.

Superbowl, Some Dirty Secrets & Valentine's Day

• Superbowl.. I was supporting the other team when everyone else was cheering for Giants in a crowded superbowl-house-party .. It's more fun in this way. (I generally try to give and represent the other ideas when everybody believe and support same thing, just to let them remember what they believe, and why they do it.) 
• They played few different national song, and I felt in the room, everybody felt so proud of being an American. TV connected to the soldiers in Afghanistan when they were singing the song. You know all Americans have different ethnicity but they are one = American. And the government do everything to promote this feeling, and it should be in this way, not the other.  
• Number 12, we loved you :) Let me find a photo of him :)

Well, who said make up is only for women?! Look at this guy, from Giants or the Other.. But it made him look like more man!

• That reminded me:

Rustu Recber, Turkish goalkeeper, after him, everybody started to want to be a goalkeeper. :)

• When I was a kid, I was watching soccer a lot. Well.. Batistuta was my very favorite player.. :)

And let's talk about some dirty secrets.. Maybe I shouldn't tell here, but I'd feel guilty if I don't..

You know I go to gym, I try to go 3 times in a week, but sometimes I can only go once.. and.. well.. what I realized lately is:

• I eat pizza before and after gym! One slice only, but I think that's the only reason I have a tummy! Every time I leave the gym, I get so tired, and need energy and .. and.. I eat these 1$, super unhealthy, and delicious food!
• Everyday!!!! Everyday I eat ice cream :) haha. I don't feel guilty about that.. It's the best thing ever.. I think it's coming from my childhood, someone told me it's milk, so it's healthy.. and here I am.. eating ice-cream every night =)
• And.. The worst thing is.. I don't eat enough.. Enough to live healthy.. and I feel guilty: people can't find food to eat cause of financial issues, and so many die, and I put myself in the same position. I'm trying to change this sick situation by cooking. Cause I can't eat outside very easily.. But homemade food, yes!
• I checked in google, how to boil potatoes, now waiting them to cook, I'm hungry!
• By the way, this nightmare day is coming.. Just after Christmas, shopping malls put their commercial stuff in their stores.. Well, I even bought something for me, too (like a little teddy-bear holding "love you") You know which day I'm talking about: Valentines day!
• Who thinks 2012 is going really fast??? Is it only me?
