point A to point B..........
dear jo, dom, em, dylan, and nicky:
the big news today here in NYC is the passing of the MTA for a 25% increase on the fare hikes and some service cuts....which means the cost of one ride would go up from $2.00 to $2.50. this is ridiculous. with the economy being at its worst, how can people afford this absurd increase.
ok, at the present moment, i pay $81 for my one month fare but with the new fare, i would pay $103. it's good that i get this special program from my work where they take money out of my check once a month. it gives me a lot of savings since it's pre-tax but still, the cost can be unbearable.
also, one of the service cuts they are planning to do is the bus that i normally take from the subway station to my job. that's about 10 to 15 minutes bus ride. i actually have no problem right now since i prefer to walk and the weather is not that bad. but imagine during the winter time.....not a good thing.
now, the question is, will Albany provided any help? they better do it soon or else it will be in effect on june 1st.

do i really need this????
dear jo, dom, em, dylan, and nicky:
after a few months of hiatus from the gym, i am officially back. today was my first day and boy it was not pretty.
my plan was to keep everything low impact so that my body can adjust. so i decided to go for just the treadmill. oh what a big mistake. as soon as i started running, i felt this burning sensation on my legs. yeah, warm up would have helped but this was more than just a cramp. i was literally just forcing my feet to walk even though it wasn't walking. it was just a total mess. i managed to put in 30 minutes, but it was brutal.
question now is would i try to go back again on the treadmill.....hhhhmm....maybe not.
oh yeah, after the gym, j was supposed to pick me up but j needs extra 1/2 in the gym (another gym). so instead of j picking me up, i went to j's gym and waited for 1/2 an hour. here we go again with the waiting part.....don't i ever learn.
