Let’s get this started :P

As you’ve noticed I didn’t list anything on my daily workout routine and daily food intake yesterday. Reason was beacause, I called yesterday a rest day due to my first day of pms. Sad I know, I got to be very frank with ya’all, I can’t be pushing myself too hard. =/  I’m the type of girl who has to go through abdominal pain during my first day of pms. Unlike those fortunate ones who do not feel a thing at all. I seriously envy those girls. ;(

Oh yesh, what about guys? They should have period too! They are such privilege people. They don’t have to go through all the crap we girls go through. Like seriously. So, to all the husbands, boyfriends, brothers, uncles, grandfather, male’sDOG,Cat,Frog, Monkey, Lamp, Iron etc, you guys should really appreciate your wifey, sisters, mother, grandmothers, aunties, female’sDOG,Cat, Frog, Monkey, Lamp, Iron, etc. I’m serious. #I’mBeingOhSoRandom opps, I didn’t notice my randomness. hehe. Anyways, it’s the fact and the ultimate truth that the pain we women have to go or ought to go through in the near future, is unimaginable, it can be unbearable too.

                                                                  Menstrual Pain

 .9 months.

                                                                 Child birth

 

And there’s after pregnancy too. You will know what are the effects of after pregnancy. Sagging …., stretch marks, bigger belly, & etc. Gahh! I’m thinking way too much. lol. I shall stop. Shall not think about it now. Kthx.

Here’s my:

Daily food intake of the day:

Your unfailing love, that’s all I need <3

Many of us, without us realising we put too much expectations on someone or some things we ought to achieve in the near future and we ended up getting ourselves all disappointed and discouraged for nothing.

I’ve realised many things throughout these few days. Life is really tough I would say. Different people with very different personalities, motives, characters and attitudes will come into our lives every now and then.

Some to make our lives worst off, some to make us feel better for the time being, others will just come and go similar to touch&go.

I guess I’ve been battling with the feeling of insecurities these days. Hence, I’m thinking a lot. It’s not wrong to be a thinker. It’s not, but over thinking can cause us a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Oh wells, I won’t allow this to affect me. I’m going to let this go and try to be a complete grown up when it comes to this area. I’m no longer a teen, I’m a young adult. I need and I must know that things ought to change in the future. There’s no point holding onto something for too long, it won’t be yours now and forever. There’s no forever in this world.

The only thing that’ll never leave you always and forever is Jesus. Truly, he’s the one and only person in the world. Thank you for the complete assurance Jesus. you’re the way, the truth and the life.

 

Thank you for always assuring and reminding me that I am never alone. When I am, when the world leaves me to rot alone, you’re always there with arms open wide.

Harlooo

I’ve missed out a lot here, didn’t I? Well, I surely did. I’ve literally stopped blogging ever since forever due to my finals and yes that was an excuse actually. hehe. I got a little slacky and lazy during the holidays as well.

Sorryyyy. No updates on Christmas, and New year too. Screw everything because I had my finals during that time. Oh wells, life of a college student. What to do right?

Okay I shall stop yapping and get to the point. As you all know I’ve been into working out this lately. In fact working out is part of my life now. Without it, it feels incomplete. I’ve started hitting ‘a real gym’ now. Real gym as in a gym with a complete and not worn out equipment. I’ve Started hitting one of the gyms near to my house during CNY holiday itself. Yes, I meant it. I knew I needed one because honestly speaking, my college’s gym sucks big time. I hope they’ll renovate the equipments there. I don’t think I’ll be hitting my college gym much as of now.

And honestly speaking, there’s not much of a change if you see me in person. 2 of my friends said the only change they notice is that my waist is smaller now. Yes, I need to admit that I’ve focused so much on my stomach area and seriously I need to admit this I’m not sure what are the right ways to really get rid of those flabby areas 3 months ago, especially on both my arms and thighs. Hence, the reason why I’m hitting a real gym now.Well, I know what are the right techniques and what are the right things to do now if I want to see further achievements. YESHY, I’m up for it!!, !

Changes take time not now not tomorrow but it’s never going to be never. I held on to this principle of mine and I’m still holding on to it. Trust me, to gain simply is an easy task but to lose, it never is going to be easy. Takes lots of hard work and perseverance. You got to stay positive. Be committed, and consistent. These are the most important elements. Working out taught me how to be a more disciplined person. Like seriously. So yeah. Just gotta pump extra harder and feel more pain. Truth to be told, when there’s pain, that’s when you’ll gain and achieve more.

And guess what? I’ve increased my intensity and I’ve started lifting weights now. I don’t dare to comment anything when it comes to the result’s part I’ll be achieving months from now because honestly speaking what I’d targeted 3 months ago and what I’m seeing now wasn’t up till my expectation. sad I know. Anyhow, I’ve realised my mistakes and now I’m working towards a new set of goals with a new set of plan. Way different from before. Like I said earlier, I’ve increased my intensity level from merely lifting baby weights (0.5kg-2.5kg) to 7.5kg-60kg. so there goes the increase in intensity. I hope and I must see changes in another 2-3months time. I believe it’s not going to be impossible

One more thing, HAHA. THIS IS FUNNEH. I’ve cheated meals few times during Chinese New Year. By cheating, it simply means I eat whatever I see on the table. Here’s the real deal: When one starts working out, one needs to be on strict diet. I’ve been on strict diet for quite some time and I’m only allowed to cheat once a week. To eat whatever I want once a week but who can resist him/herself from eating during Chinese new year right? lol. I managed I’m not joking.. I resisted my temptation for nearly 3-4 days and after that, that’s when temptation strikes and yes..I cheated all the way for 2 consecutive days.. feels good at first but later on I kept grumbling about eating all the nonsense. I kept complaining to my mum about the food I had and she kept comforting me. Oh yes, sense of guiltiness came crawling into my head each time I cheated more than I should. But it was only for 2 days though..hehe. If you don’t know me as in you really don’t know me.. Here’s something you should know when I eat, i EAT A LOT. My body doesn’t simply stop itself from eating. True stroy. That’s a matter of undeniable fact. lol.

Note to self : No worries! I’m back on track now.

My blog will officially be my diet and workout logbook starting from today itself. Don’t read it if you’re NOT interested with what weights I lift, which part of my body I focus on and what I had for breakfast up till dinner the entire day. haha. #justsaying

Hola!

Ola readers sorry if I’ve kept everyone else waiting for this post for too long. Finally something hard and solid here besides posts about selling off my drums. =P screw that I might be selling it off but guess what? I accidently stepped on my crash’s cymbal and it’s
-____- lol. forget about that, I tried to fix it but it’s still ‘penyet.’ -_-”

Anyways, life is pretty amazing recently. I’m not going to elaborate on it much. Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank someone for being so awesome. I feel like myself once again. Thank you. Knowing u is like the best thing that has ever happened to me. We share lots of common interests, my absolute helper in time of need as well. U knw who u are

Kthxbai.

Finals’ around d corner. So I won’t be blogging much. Ta’s~

 

Dismantled and Polished.

*A little stain on my, hi-hat and ride. They all still sound amazing though.. =)

Seat still looks as good as new, everything else looks great after I’ve polished with HD-60. Only certain parts are a little rusty. Even after getting a new drum set, ur drum set will eventually rust a little after few yrs time. Depending on how often u polish them.

Single Pedal

Hi hat’s pedal

Ride’s sound off pad, hi-hat, and crash’s pad is slightly bigger cuz I bought all standard sizes. I still use it eventhough it’s a little lose. =) Everything can be managed, depending on ur creativity.

Like I said earlier, the crash’s sound off pad is a little torn. There’s a slight torn and a mini hole. Everything else is great as it is. =)

Life and What I think about it?

Well, I’ve been caught up with so many things lately. Life is pretty boring I would say but I’ve been up to something for 3 weeks. I will officially call myself a work out freak for real

Working out makes me feel good about my entire self. I feel more positive and confident about my entire being. Physically yes, emotionally checked and yes when you’re into something good for yourself, you wouldn’t spend much time looking back into your ugly past and by that I also mean, looking back into your ugly self.

I’m sure everyone has their ugly sides and truth is, we all make mistakes in our lives. It could be one time mistake or it could be more than that, minor ones, major ones.

And guess what? I’ve discovered something different about myself few weeks ago, I’m not afraid to admit my mistakes, I have screwed up in the past, I’ve hurt people’s feelings be it intentionally or unintentionally. There are times where I feel extremely inhuman about myself. I guess that’s humanity, by feeling inhuman about yourself makes you more human because you know what you did was bad and yeah, mistakes are meant not to be repeated.

One thing I realise,

Friends, well sometimes your close friends, without them realizing they sometimes say things they don’t mean it, oh u can call me a sensitive being, well, i am one, depending on my mood on that day. I’ve lost my confidence, been indulged with the fear I’ve been creating deep inside myself because of whatever people say, I put it into my head. But God never failed to pull me out of it. It happened each time when I stand tall and strong, something just pull me back into the box of fear I’ve created myself. So much for telling yourself that you shouldn’t bother about what others say about you. haha. We are human yeah? Just admit it, whatever people say about you will seriously affect your entire self sometimes. From feeling so good about yourself, you can feel nothing at all in mere seconds.

We as humans, no matter how positive we are, we will sometimes fall. It’s not wrong to be emotional. One thing I’ve discovered about being emotional when you’re feeling so stressed out and lonely is, you tend to look back and dig back into your past, find those mistakes and imagine if you’ve never made those mistakes. I’m not joking about this, but by reminiscing about those events makes me feel better some times. At least I know what I’ve done and what are the things I shouldn’t do in the near future if I were to be faced with the same situation again.

Never ever regret your past, it is your past that defines who you are today. I’m proud to say that I have someone I can rely on, someone I can clung onto whenever I feel horrible about myself. He makes me feel whole and hopeful again each time I reflect on those ugly moments, each time I reflect on my glorious moments. I thank him for those moments be it good or bad because I know it all happened for a good reason. That one person I can rely on always and forever is Him, Jesus.

I couldn’t imagine my life without him seriously. I wouldn’t have this kind of perspective in life, I wouldn’t be able to even live a pleasing and human life in the eyes of people. You never know how bad of a person I was in the past. I repay violence with violence, I did lots of nasty stuff when I was younger. Been mistreated and been feeling so horrible about myself. If I didn’t surrender myself to Jesus, I wonder what I’ll be now. I wonder..           I guess it’s best not to wonder about it. Because I am what I am now.

Talking about college, I’m worried about everything but I’ll just take some time off for today. Will do the catching up part tomorrow. I’m looking forward to go over to somewhere to get a degree and if it is of God’s will, I will be there in 2 years time. See how things go. =)

Been self obsessed with myself. I don’t think this is obscene. I’m pretty satisfied with the curve I have right now. 2-3 months more to go before it looks and feels real. Working out takes time, been working out for the 20th day now and I’m seeing only a slight change. It takes months of hardwork, doesn’t take a week or two. Don’t give up trying. Hard work really pays off at the end of the day. I believe in that.

Day 20

My aim for the next 3 months? Yeah

Flat and toned up. That’s what I’m aiming and looking for

More updates soon.

Not so soon though.

God bless.

 

Apology accepted? YES? NO? :D

Will update on interesting stuff soon! I promise!

Kthx and bye for now.

God bless all of u beautiful ppl.

Much love, from..

The one and only one,

Me ~Teehee~

 

 

At the Foot of the Cross

When life gets hard, when you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, when you feel alone… Just remember that Jesus received more judgement than we ever will, Jesus hung on the cross & shed blood for us so we could live. Jesus knows & understand everything you are going through. You are loved & you are not alone.

Hope & have faith that when it’s hard, IT WILL GET BETTER! – Arden Cho

 

When life hits you hard, don’t be afraid to fall, because when you fall and get back up again, u’re stronger than before. Jesus was there to pick me up when I nearly fell, or maybe I did fall but I was afraid to land on the ground since I held onto something so tightly. I’m not afraid to admit it but yes I didn’t wanna let it go but well, it feels really good to let it go and to just allow myself to fall flat into the arms of Jesus once again. Thank you Jesus.

I thank you Jesus for lifting me up when I am at my lowest. Now that I’ve got the determination, courage and strength, I’m a much better person on the inside.  And yeah I’m not joking, I’m stronger now, indeed stronger than ever and I couldn’t thank Jesus enough for that

Thank You from the bottom of my heart. #grateful

When life gives you chicken, you just gotta marinate it, barbecue it and eat it up yea?
