Mind, Body, Fitness

Hello friends,

The New Year, 2013, is almost here. Wow! It came fast, right?
Anyhow, we usually think to ourselves, "what new year's resolution can set for myself & stick with it?"
This passed year has been a lil iffy trying to deal with school, then realized the ignorance of certain professors & the kindness of others. In my grad program, we are given choices of classes/courses to fulfill as prerequisites, i.e. if this quarter I can't take/fulfill this certain class/course then next quarter I may be able to take another class/course.
This quarter, I registered with this certain professor who is the only one teaching a course I need to graduate, I repeat, for this quarter only, but I can take another course that can fill that same requirement for the upcoming quarters. I've had this professor in another class/course previously & unfortunately she was very ignorant to the point where I didn't feel comfortable. So I think to myself, "why am I going to put myself thru that again?"
So my New Year's resolution is to not deal with dickheads anymore. I already get paid to deal with them, vaguely now, in my career, & I mean vaguely. So no need to deal with any dickhead professor if it's not necessary. No Dealing with dickheads this year :-).
So this year, I am going to drop her class for winter quarter & start the year with positive energy through focusing on my health physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually.
I'm already focused on it, so I guess what I'm saying is that I am going to continue it & not deal with ignorant professors/people (for free at least), I'm gonna get fit, focus on my health on all aspects, continue teaching fitness - movement & voice for actors - flamenco - & simply stay on the positive path. We always have stumbles here & there, but if I can prevent myself from dealing with a dickhead for 9 weeks (a quarter), then great. My New Year's Resolution will be in action.
New Year's resolution:
Avoiding negative people like that professor if I can help it.
Continue teaching fitness which I will use as a continuance in getting fit.
Stay positive.
Eat healthier than ever.
Continue learning to sing new Flamenco songs as well as continue teaching flamenco dance.
And pass my national certification Personal Trainer test (one I have to update every two years).
Voila.... Case closed.
What's your New Year's resolution for 2013?

House Of Blues on Sunset Blvd

HEY GUYS, DON'T MISS MY BAND LA BESTIA ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 19TH, 2012 FOR OUR RECORD RELEASE SHOW AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES ON SUNSET BLVD.

IF YOU WANT SOME GUEST PASSES, CLICK HERE WHICH IS OUR BAND'S FACEBOOK PAGE, through our band's facebook page email us back, let us know how many guest passes you want, what snail mailing address you'd like them to be sent to & under who's name. We hope you can join us!! ;-)

Never misses :-), but i luv it..

A lot of people ask me, "Rocio, you do so many things. When are you going to settle down?"
For the average person, my lifestyle seems a bit chaotic or all over the place, it seems. But in order for me to do the things i do in this life-time, i have no choice but to have it together, otherwise it won't work. And as for settling down, well it depends what you mean when you say settling down.
Do you mean just doing one thing or getting married & settling down.
Not sure what was meant, but just in case, i have 2answers: if you meant settling down doing one thing, as long as i can handle it & am not affecting the livelihoods of anyone, i will continue to live as i desire because i love what i do. If you meant settling down with family? Well, i guess if the time ever comes, i'll just have to see what can be compromised right there & then as long as everyone is happy. but in the meantime, since i am living on my own terms because it's not affecting anybody's livelihood but my own, i'll continue doing my so many things :-). And if my lifestyle is affecting someone else who i don't have any ties to, then that person must be really bored with their life & has nothing better to do than to worry about someone else's life but his/her own.
Anyhow, while in Vegas, i was able to kill two birds with 1 stone. Was able to stay on the cirque list, so i actually passed the physical test. I cant believe it 'cause some of the stuff i did i hadnt done in a while. Meanwhile at the same time, a cirque colleague & i were renewing our pilates certification. Done! Before leaving Vegas a cirque colleague & i were hanging up & down on the poles trapeze & aerial style & our trainer took a pictures with us like that. That was fun & can't wait to see that picture. Ha! I must be out of my mind, but i wouldn't have it any other way. Anyhow, Cant wait to get home to my kitty. She must think i abandoned her.
Keep smiling :-)
