Perseverance

Wow okay I just had a mind blank on how to spell perseverance!(It took me 5 times what even)

Anyways, we are progressing along with the year, since June is arriving in a few days time! Time really does fly. My Dad emailed me my letter of acceptance from Collingwood College (squeal) and I am so excited/nervous! I haven't been to school in like a year. I wonder how socially awkward I'll be... Otherwise, I am determined to do my best right through to when I finish my Year 12 exams! I need to score 99 or higher so I can get a scholarship to Melbourne Uni! Ganbatte! ("Do your best!") I will succeed to fullfil my dream of becoming a doctor!!

I wonder how I'll do with juggling school and 2 jobs. Challenge accepted. This means less time at obsessing over anime xD Some people do this anime as nonsense, but there's some that really relate to you and hits close to home. There's a few animes where I've cried my eyes out and laughed like there's no tomorrow. I don't know... it gives me comfort during these tough times. My most favourite animes have got to be: Fruits Basket [ ALL TIME FAVE THIS ONE MESSES WITH YOU EMOTIONALLY] - The manga and anime are both amazing.

1. Ouran High School Host Club [You will basically laugh your ass off and your shipper heart will go cray] - This was one of the first anime I've watched and I LOVE IT. It's truly a must watch.
2. Hakuoki [OKAY THIS ONE WILL MAKE YOUR HEART ACHE] - Ugh this show really makes you have all types of feels. Though it's quite a historical anime (we're talking about the samurai period here aka Shinsengumi), the story line is fabulous. It was originally an Otome game , but I do believe it appeals to all ages. It's reverse harem, so you know there's a few guys that one girl, but it's not too soppy but the budding feelings are really cute. BE WARNED THAT THERE ARE DEATH SCENES THAT WILL RIP YOUR HEART OUT. But really it's a must watch! There's 3 seasons plus 6 OVAs and I'm awaiting for the movie to come out in August 2013! Saitou Hajime is my love <3
3. Kimi ni Todoke- The romance is very sweet and cute. The protagonist is an outcast because of the way she looks (They call here Sadako, from the ring, but her name's Sawako) but she's just an innocent, nice girl who wants to be accepted. Ofcourse, there's the nice popular guy who brings her out of her misery! There's 2 seasons and the third episode of the 1st season made be bawl lololol

These are just a few, I've also watched La Corda D'oro, Hiiro no Kakera, Special A, Kaichou wa Maid-sama! , Uta no Prince sama maji love 1000% /2000% etc.

I'm in the midst of watching Chihayafuru and it's so god damn good! I'm about to finish watching 1st season and then I'll be off to season 2! Watch it yo!

My job at the video rental store is fairly easy, just have to scan, sort dvds and serve customers using the cash register. Though sometimes I get jittery, like I panic because I'm handling money and the customers watching me! Gah! But I just have to get used to it ! One of managers is really nice to me and often teases me? But meh, it's a relax job!

My blogilates regime has been going good. My core is as strong as ever and I can do more than 10 proper push ups! I can feel the muscle growing! Hahah unfortunately it shows on the scale, I went from 64kg to 67kg! That's okay though, once the fat is gone, the scales will lower. I'm also feeling so much more fitter! Cassey (aka blogilates creator) recently blogged about doing a diet bet! POPsters have to put in $25 and if we lose 4% of our body weight from June 3-30 , we can get our $25 back plus the share of those who didn't meet the goal!  GONNA DO IT! :D

Oh! I also made a Savings Jar a few days ago and whatever goes inside will contribute to my end of Year 12 trip to Europe and Japan!! Can't stop the travel bug inside of me :3 Also will be using it for games (Hakuoki PSP game pls) , maybe a car, university stuff like books. So determined!

Off to do some sorting of documents now whilst I wait for my sis to bring back Gnocchi!~~~~~~

Life is all about change.

Does that sound too philosophical? Had a major fight with my sister last night. I think it's the fact that there's only 2 of us in this house and it's easy to get into one. This morning I tried talking to her and she didn't reply so this how it's going to be for awhile.

I realised... we're 2 very different people. I don't think we know alot about each other at all. I spent nearly 4 years away from Singapore, and that's a very long time. She keeps saying how I try to be a "neutral" person but I'm not, apparently. Isn't being neutral how people should be? That's what I'm trying to be. I don't want to judge people, though it's very common in human nature. I'm not perfect, but I'm striving to be better. You can't shoot people down to what they once were when they're trying to get up on their feet.

Anyways, change. That's what I strive for. To be better. I know I can be very unfriendly and judging at times, but that's my defence mechanism. I don't want to get hurt, as you know how emotional I can be. My favourite virtual trainer, Miss Cassey Ho (aka blogilates) , once said that how we react to a situation, determines our happiness. We choose how we feel. I've been subtly stressed for a long time. I keep hoping for it to change soon, but you know sometimes you just want it to be your own way. How everything is supposed to be. I need to live more positively. This is, after all, my only life that I can life.

I'm off to do some blogilates, gotta keep up with the calendar you know!

2k13

We didn't die of the supposed Mayan Apocalypse.
The gang rape victim in Delhi didn't survive. (RIP)
Gangnam Style reached a billion views.
A teenage girl in Pakistan got shot for being active in role of fighting for education for girls.
A truckload of viral videos have circled around the net.
And another year goes by.
Pretty sure other fucked up shit happened but I can't remember trolol


Anyways, I started the New Year with a bang yesterday.At midnight, I watched the fireworks from the Singapore flyer with my bro and dad whilst we ate Popeyes chicken (lol) . I did 45 mins of HIIT cardio the following morning and ate healthily. And...I basically read fanfics and watched Pewdie and AllShamNoWow play games on Youtube hehe

Today I woke up and commenced by blogilates calendar! Which meant 15 push ups , followed by a series of cardio videos! And yes, I literally was sweating bullets. Like they say, sweat is just fat crying!

This #jaNEWary I aim to kick of my healthy regime. Which means YOLO meals are restricted to once a week.

My Resolutions:
- Make Healthier choices
- Complete the blogilates calendar up to Dec 2013
- Do my best in school
- Don't bother about unnecessary people
- Be more self confident
- Save money
- Learn a new language
- Be nicer to people, but not too nice if not they'll just take advantage of you hmph

.... I think that's it? Well I hope so cause that's quite abit of expectation.

Though, I hope that my family will be more fortunate this year and come up again.

Let's see where the Year of Snake takes us to.

#DashingDecember

I woke up this morning to my annoying alarm from my phone. What time? Well I set it 9:30 am. And it's a Sunday. You might wonder why dis hoe is waking up considerably early for a lazy sunday. I guess I wanted to train myself not to sleep in? (tough luck) Especially when I slept at 3am earlier on .

I slowly propped myself up and instinctively reached to the nearest contraption that was less than an arm's length. My trusty macbook. aka Nick. I begun my routine by check social networking sites (ugh such a hoe) and lastly, I checked my email. The first message was from a seemingly trustworthy company telling me I'm one of the 20 winners to have won first prize! You see, I'm not one that has the luck of the irish, so "winning" has not become part of my vocabulary. Eyeing the email suspiciously, I decided not to venture into unchartered waters and straight to delete folder it went!

Now, the next email was something I was looking forward to. It was from Cassey Ho aka blogilates founder. It was the December workout calendar! I'm super determined to do this and I really do aim to have a toned body! I'll make sure to track my progress here, if anyone's interested. I went out in shorts yesterday and gosh damn, my legs felt... toner? As I passed by reflective surfaces of shop windows,  I could really see the difference!  I felt more confident. It really made my day. I'm still a long way from over, but I'm prepared to "train insane, or remain the same!"

The smell of bacon is beckoning me (time for some protein!) and I'm off to continue my Harvest Moon adventure.
