New Year's Resolutions

It has been three days since my last workout at the gym. The fever and cold had struck me hard, I guess. I suspected that it came from the male teenager in the train. He squeezed right onto my head. He even never apologised. (Or perhaps he did?) I hope the people like him would have some conscience and practise the good hygiene. Now, it's only the sore throat which attacks my neck. The fever was gone. Thanksfully. Because of it, I had the nightmare and could not sleep well. Worsening it, the weird voice in my left ear bugged me all the time. From onwards, I must eat the fruits no matter what. Otherwise, I can't work hard on my body for the competitions I'm planning to take part. At least, my body is getting a bit toned. I have the feeling that I'm going to have eight or ten packs of abs soon.

About someone who has the sour relationship with me. I heard that she will continue to study through Year 3 with us despite her poor skills. I was glad to hear that! I hope that she will work hard to improve her skills and may even exceed us. It does not matter if she dislikes me to the large extent because I don't have any plan to befriend her due to her temper. I don't want to have the fight with her again. So it's best for us to stay neutral rather than the hostile.

Mm, it's all about the resolutions for New Year again. I guess that I should keep it simple and easy so that I may fulfill them with ease because I did not complete the whole list of resolutions for this year, 2008. I'm not going to write down my list because I want to keep it private. There is no need to show it off.

A dream

It's really complicated to change the blog skin. Although I like the new skin, there are some I don't want to see on my blog. So I'll be using my old skin. It will be some times before I change the skin.

Since the vacation started, I have been experiencing some dreams, both good and bad ones. However, a few days ago, I found myself wandering into the short yet interesting one. The environment seems to be the gym I frequent this time. There was a person standing in front of me. He looked exactly like me. But he had the medium long hair I used to have before. His size was almost like the short yet fit giant as if he was possessing the toned and muscular body. Was I facing my own doppleganger? I have read somewhere that it's ghostly reflection of the living person as if it's the twin brother or sister. And it's bad news as well since many who met the dopplegangers, were taken away by the death. But I was in the dream. It could not be such the bad news. I also read that many Africans believe that we are open to the spiritual world when we are sleeping. And the dreams are often the shape of the future.

This person was wearing the grey shirt. His hair was dyed as the brownish red in colour. I admit that I was put in the awe and admiration by his smiling lips although I'm used to see my own lips in front of the mirror everyday. What a strange yet interesting dream it is.

A new experience

A friend who just returned from Japan, began to work her body out today. Yes, it was the nice pleasure to receive the presents from her. In return, I gave her the healthy treat in Subway. Anyway, our training was cut short as she had the appointment with the doctor in the afternoon. So I continued the training on my own. During the cardio training, I pushed my body to the extreme level as I was running for 22 minutes, climbing over 100 floors for 25 minutes and rowing for 20 minutes. It was the good feeling as I could feel the fierce burning within my body. I guess that my new technique was doing good. Even my friend said that it really worked after I taught her.

After the workout, I took the shower and changed. Then, I was heading towards the train station which was located in the next city. This was where I met my friend who had the appointment with the doctor earlier. We had the delicious and relaxing meal at Subway. I do admit that the food from Subway tastes heavenly and delicious. Yes, it was my very first time eating at Subway. Indeed, it was the nice experience. After a while, we decided to visit the new store we never went to before. We found out about it from the website my friend recommended to me. At first, we thought that it was very huge due to the wide range of the products in the website. As we were waiting for the bus in the bus interchange, we encountered the problems. We did not even know the exact location of the new store! We were not familiar with the place as well. Fortunately, my friend who recommended that store, helped to lead the way via the messages we text each other. Actually, we overshot the place and ended up in walking over the long distance to reach there! We laughed at this incident. Anyway, it was our first time after all. To my surprise, the store was not huge as we expected. It's same as the common stores we usually shop. But it was really a bargin. The products over there were far cheaper than the ones at the common stores. Over this incident, we went home happily.

A wish

The pains of the body aches kept bothering me. But I'm glad that it's working. One round belly will become eight packs soon. It may sound difficult but I'm positive about it. I admit that I fancy the thoughts of gaining the attention over my body but I'm trying hard not to think about that because it's for the purpose and my reasons. I'll be resting today. There's another thing I'm trying hard to develop - That is my spirituality. However, I'm having the difficulties because my family don't believe in Christ. I wish at least one of them would convert to the Christian beliefs soon. My struggles are getting heavier and heavier. Just a bit more and it will be over, I hope.

It's strange but I want to spend the Christmas on my own. Yes, I want to be alone. For my wish for the present is to spend the whole day with God. Perhaps I should let go of the earthly things as I did before.

The end of the entertainments

I have been the hardcore fan of the various entertainments such as the video games and video clips since I was young. So I'm going to delcare that there will be no more entertainments for me from today onwards. Sounds weird or difficult? But I don't care. I just want to spend more time on others like reading etc. I don't know why I want to be the bookworm. But it can be an excuse to improve my English and arts skills!

Back to the hermit

Although there are a lot of new fun stuffs out there, I want to go back to my old self where I built the walls around me, fleeing from the world. I find my current attitude quite good in the school but the home has not changed yet. I have no problem with others who are studying the same diploma. However, there is one classmate whom I find it difficult to resolve our sour relationship. This person somehow has the same attitude of the others who had hurt me before. Well, Lord Jesus said, "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." (Matthew 5: 44) Yes, I had been wanting to forgive all who have offended me since I started the new life one and half a year ago. As the problems became more complicated and as the human nature, I found it difficult to soften my heart and forgive them. I often read or hear, "Love thy enemy as thy neighbour." as it is said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12: 31) It's quite convincing that Lord Jesus wants us to be friends as He loves us. For He said, "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another." (John 13: 34) So that we might be spared from the judgement as He said, "If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you." (Matthew 6: 14)

I am wondering whether they are aware of it. I pray that they will come to the sense soon and make their actions. I also hope that God will help us to regain our old friends and make no more enemy. There is a saying, "Time will heal." It's certainly true as we change over the period of time.

Long time ago, my Godfather told me, "Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the strength so that you might forgive the others." Amen to that.

A new life

I want to start a new life again. I had deleted my account in Friendster because everything in Friendster is not realistic. I thought that I should not waste time on such those websites. I want to spend more time on my desires. I'm afraid that I have to stop hanging out with the friends anymore unless on the special occasions. When I was having the very first day in the school one and half a year ago, I never wanted to have any enemy or conflicts. But now, it was impossible. I don't want to lose any more friend again. Perhaps I should turn to the silent mode instead of practising my "comedian" skills. It looks like I'm going to have the studio with the friends for our own soon. I can't wait to start the business and the exhibitions. And the competitions as well.
