Another day

Visible to anyone in the world

It is quite a neutral day. Barely any sun and cloudy. A little bit gloomy but calm. I feel empowered today to write and study more than I did yesterday. I also watched the movie - A Cure for Wellness - such a brilliant movie as it has such cinematic creativity and an interesting story. I highly recommend it on Prime Video. It captivated me to keep watching and watching till the end. 

Will I have the strength to exercise today? We will see. I don't feel that motivated lately to exercise, but I realize that it is not only good for my body, but also for my mind. I need a mental boost every now and then. Otherwise, I do feel very lazy to do what I enjoy. What motivates you to exercise? If you would like to comment your ideas, I would really appreciate it. 

So far in my communication and posts on the forums, I find it very encouraging to have my classmates comment and give feedback. I realize that this is a very supportive group which I very much appreciate as I am just starting. I hope that I will do well, but since I am just starting, it might take a bit of time for me to unwrap my mind to these new concepts and information. My mind can be slow sometimes, but I do like to take in the most I can from what I see. 

While I write my blog, I like to listen to jazz. It is very calming and less distracting for me. Though, I do like to listen to my pop and rock now and again. Music is such a gift to the soul. It helps me to relax, dance, and contemplate the importance of having fun in life. We must enjoy the life we have been given or even what's left of it. What is life without having the ability to enjoy it? All I can say is to make the most of it.

Waking up to a new day

Visible to anyone in the world

Hi all viewers

Today I decided to work on myself, which is getting out of bed early, having a small breakfast - egg on toast - and having a 20-minute workout with dumbbells. Woah, it was hectic even for 20 minutes. It is 27C currently. I had to have the fan on full blast with all doors and windows open - hoping the monkeys don't take the golden opportunity to break in and enter. The last time they entered my premises; they stole a bunch of bananas and some bread. They are quick and they love to throw poop everywhere. They are not my favourite animal, but we are in fact in their space after all in nature. 

While I write, I play good oldies such as the 80's or some favourites from the 90's. I got this taste of music from my mom. I would always listen to Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, or classic jazz tunes on the way to the beach with my mom as a kiddo. I would always enjoy a good dip in the river on a hot day. It was like I was a mermaid swimming with the fishes the size of my pinky. I imagine my childhood to be a dazzling one - playing, climbing trees, building sandcastles, board gaming, computer gaming, home-schooling, singing, dancing, and having bubbly baths with rubber duckies and bath toys of all sorts. Those were the good old days back in the 2000's.

I remember my mom telling me that I was special and made for a purpose. That is my plan - to find specifically what that special purpose is in my life, but I imagine that I have already met most of the big changes and experiences in my life that have defined or slightly made my way through my journey towards that great purpose. All I can do now is to keep moving forward learning, working, chilling, reading the Chronicles of Narnia, and opening my mind up to new possibilities. 

I'm also so happy to have made the friends that I have now from acting in theatre to going to home parties. I have few good friends, but that is all I can ever hope for, is to have a few close friends rather than a group of distant and superficial friends who care about status rather than the heart. 

Keep those close to you who care about your heart more than your possessions. 

I've never really had a great time during my schooling life at a private Christian school in the area. It was small and yet I learned a great deal. Though friends were scarce back then, during my early adulthood, I managed to make mature, yet good hearted people to call my friends - and worthy of that title of course. 

My day has started off with a good feeling of hope and accomplishment so far and I hope this day uncovers new possibilities and blessings.
