No April Fools joke here!  On April 1st, I was at the White House all day.  Why was I there?  I was fortunate enough to be selected to be among a small group of tennis trainers that ran the tennis area of the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.  It was a long day with few breaks, but it was worth it.






Over the course of 12 hours, more than 30,000 kids and parents from around the country visited the south lawn of the White House to participate in many type of activities, including tennis.



Numerous celebrities were roaming around too, with a few stopping by the court to hit.  One of them happened to be Jared from Subway!  He hung out for a couple hours by the court, so I got the chance to talk with his family and him for a while.  What a pleasant guy.







It was privilege to represent tennis at the White House Easter Egg Roll, and I will never forget this day.  Hopefully, I will get a chance to return next year!

We were a little bit crazy tonight...

How I felt writing on here, after not writing on here for almost a month:


What happened?  If you want to know why, my last pulse gave a good clue.

Actually, I can't put all the blame on that.  Over the past 6 months or so, some changes has happened that have given me a few reasons why I haven't been writing as often as I would like:

1.  I'm getting busier at work


Summer is my busiest season since most events I work at take place when it's nice and warm.  Besides prepping and helping out with those events, I've recently started getting some big responsibilities on a couple projects that has wide implications.  Don't want to say too much yet so I don't jinx anything, but let just say that if I succeed I will gain a lot of attention from my national office.  Wish me luck!

2.  I'm happy and content with life (for now)

Good job, good home, good work, good family, good friends, good girlfriend, good health...a lot of goodness.  I guess what they say is true:  it's harder to write when you're in a relationship and content with life.

3.  I'm becoming more private

Of course, I would be lying to say everything is wonderful all the time.  Just lately, I've been getting less of an urge to tell everyone.  Whenever I have something I need to really talk about, I can usually confide with close friends or the girlfriend.  I have been pondering about starting protected postings again though.  If I do, who wants to be on the list?

Yep, there you have the reasons why I've been preoccupied.

Okay fine, I'll admit the last reason...

4.  Frickin' addictive Diablo 3


Don't worry, blogging is still a fun hobby of mine and I will keep on writing when I can find the time and motivation.  At least now you know why if I disappear from time to time.  Hope all of you are doing well!
