apparently I need to get back to my regular groove of updating my journal because this time around, I'm way overdue for an update. November passed me by as if I was standing still. It was a busy month of work and travel and now I'm sitting here looking at the calendar realizing the first week of December is almost over. Damn, Christmas is almost here!!!
With all of the turmoil my family has faced this year, my siblings and I have decided not to celebrate or at least not make a big deal of it. It'll be a low-keyed holiday season for us.

The final bodybuilding competition of our local season was amazing! Each year this novice show has a record number of entries and those numbers continue to increase. Pre-judging was very hectic, but at the night show, I was able to catch up with some friends during the intermission and afterward.


Of course, once I returned home from the show, I was counting down the days until my trip to Atlanta. Now that particular weekend was a blast! The nationals in the USA is a huge event, it's well attended and it showcases a ton of talent. I was pleasantly surprised! My sis and I flew to Atlanta together and met up with friends once we arrived. My girl Melody had arrived the day after us; when she and I met up at pre-judging, we were practically wearing identical outfits...she and I think
a lot alike so this really wasn't a surprise!


After the eventful weekend, a few of us went out to celebrate my b'day on the Sunday night. We had some good laughs and good food as well.


Sometimes, I have a difficult time comprehending the fact that I'm already 32! I swear, as I get older each year passes faster. And speaking of getting older, we also celebrated Dreu's b'day (my bro's girlfriend)at the end of November as well.


I do have more candids from the weekend which I'll post next time.
Enjoy your day!
