COMMITMENTS

SO there it is: 6th January 2015. Almost a week in the new year and still no sign of that "Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!" Slipping or not slipping, ladies and gentlemen I am still me and I am still adventurous as my situation allows me to.
Recently I have began to think about volunteering with UNICEF or some other organization just make sure I am indeed being a better person, so far though I haven gathered the guts to give myself to volunteering. What is wrong with me, people?! I think it is the being really useful part that scares the shit(excuse the language) out of me. I have been a volunteer before: for the Red Cross and for Special Olympics and other organizations, but then I was less, lets face it selfish and I was less aware of time and how it should be spend... Now I hear the clock every time when I feel like doing something fun, or something that really requires dedication. And volunteering is really about dedication. 

Why is it that as we get older we cannot commit anymore?

DAY 16 LDN AQUATIS CENTER



SIXTEEN days I waited to dive into the 50 m Olympic pool :) No, I lied! I have been waiting for that precious moment ever since I saw it completed back in 2012 for the Olympic Games. Two precious and long years filled with buzz and daydreaming.

I never shared with you that I have a brother. As a Special Olympic athlete he already has various achievements and lots of gold medals in swimming. We are all proud with his two gold medals from the Special Olympic Games in Shanghai 2007.

So you see I have to keep up with the legacy. Of course, I do not compete or anything. I just enjoy the water and mostly try not to drawn or hit into people. 

Sometimes I feel like the only penguin a family of swans. Both my parent have Captain's License, thus, they are required to swim perfectly, my brother is a professional swimmer and I swim like buoy :D:D:D Good thing I didn't by a red swimsuit :)

My first day at the pool as you can image was filled with various emotions ranging from pure joy to pure panic and a hell of water was swallowed... do not worry there is still water in the pool! I promise!!!

I am looking forward to my next day at the pool. Follow me for more updates on the LDN GIRL craze!
