Icon4 98 civic ex vtec

Hey guys and girls I just recently bought a 98 civic ex vtec from an old friend bad off for money. The car is in good shape or I thought I changed the spark plugs and valve cover gasket and oil for him about four months ago but before I seen this car it had been sitting up for about a year and a half and now when I go to take off it will hesitate and clear up and go but if you are hard on the gas it blows out blue smoke so I drove it down the road hard on and off the gas every time blow smoke... Where should I start it has 147xxx on it. Help please and thank you

Blue smoke = oil burning

Maybe bad rings try a compression test? Especially if it feels like it has a drop in power while driving.
