People
Lately, I've been able to get back in touch with people, and also have gotten to know some of those much better than I did before. well, all of them are web-based talking, however, I have found myself to be able to find a lot in common with these people-things I would have never expected. Perhaps this is due to my ability to be more one self on-line (sadly), but it has been a pleasant surprise I have throughly enjoyed.
On the other hand, I am flying out to Osaka and Tokyo tomorrow at midnight. I throughly dislike planes- clothes I find comfortable seems to be unflattering, and my skin always suffers as well as the body, due to the lack of water. and my ability to overpack does not help.
I should google that, actually.

Going to the gym
Really pays off.
I've finally started to feel leaner. and my new trainer kicked my ass today.
I am READY to be sore tomorrow!!
Sigh. I am unsure as to how to get results faster.
though, having an obvious goal makes me want to quit when i don't get it.
oh well.
Also, I've been going to bed earlier now, and it should do me amazing.
Trying to have my life regular is a good idea. haha.
New exciting workouts, anyone?

You're not alone.
For people who are feeling down.
I write this because I know how hard it can be to allow yourself to be upset when you're so busy with everything else. Or, maybe you feel pathetic to be so upset over something that is 'nothing' compared to some people in this world's crisis.
but that shouldn't matter.
I've been there.
I've been to the place where nothing feels fun.
Where you question your existance every day, and that idea of never waking up sounds so great all of a sudden. and I truly believed that I will never get better.
It doesn't matter how horrible someone else's life might be, you're still allowed to break down because something that mattered to you went horribly wrong.
After all, how are you supposed to get over the situation and feel better if you don't let yourself feel it when it happens?
I believe that we have times where we feel horrible so that we can feel happy at times where we don't feel horrible in comparison.
You'd never be bored if you've never had fun.
So it's okay to breakdown.
It's okay to be weak.
Don't stretch it over 3 months to get over it, because that makes things worse; people can't always help you for the same reason for 3 months.
(I do realize the importance in being able to help yourself, but for now, it's okay to be a little helpless and ask for help. that's why we have friends. )

How to develop a gym habit
There's no simple way, clearly.
except the fact that I felt crappy for the past 5 days I didn't go.
When I finally dragged myself to do some weights *big blister's stopped myself from running*. And though I knew that it wasn't my usual standard of a 'good workout', I felt instantly better afterwords.
So what have I realized after all this?
that going to the gym on a regular basis really does help you emotionally.
and now I should go again, before I decide not to.

Woah. Long time.
since I last updated my blog.
well, I would like to write about my recent life changes I've made.
and intend to make as soon as I get to a university.
1) I have been going to the gym everyday.
I hate going there.
but I love, LOVE being there. It's something I never thought I could enjoy.
But it really does made a difference not only physically (which is coming very slowly, but that's okay), but what I benefit the most from gym-ing is the mental stability.
I have had a noticeable improvement in my so-unstable emotional state. It's probably one of the best things I've done for myself :)
2) Food.
I have started to think hard about food.
I cannot talk about this topic without crediting Simona, my friend, who has given me so much information about the importance in eating real food, and so much more. (AKA discovery of a new friend who I throughly enjoy, and they don't come easy) Until then, I have never thought much about what exactly it is that I am consuming. well, turns out most things were 'food like substances'. yes, food-like. meaning not really food. Though the way I see food may seem stoic to some, most, even, it seems that these food-like substances are quite responsible for many of my general unwelness, as well as other problems. I say this because, as soon as I started changing my eating habits and such, I began feeling much better. (WAY better than those... ginger-ale and ibuprofen)
And surprisingly, giving up meat has taken a great part in that.
This is a hard topic, as my parents disagree with me greatly on my decision of giving up meat.
3) Surfing.
Yes. Surfing.
I have truly fallen in love with this sport!
I cannot explain the way it feels when you stand on a wave- the wave that has travelled so far, that has so much power, so much.... more than you can stand to think about. It's amazing.
Now, I am not very good at this new skill I have began to indulge in, but, I can still ride some waves, and I still love it. I cannot wait to get better!!
well my friends, I can go on for EVER about changes I've made in my life, though, I have pin-pointed the bigger ones to post to this blog. I wish I could write them all, but I haven't the time, because there's so much to do!
