Baby Steps

2011-09-06T02:48:00.001-07:00

My friend told me some pretty personal and shocking news yesterday. I feel sort of bad because I've been telling him off about not getting his life together and just being a NEET instead of going and getting a real job. And when he had a real job he got fired because he wasn't motivated. I know some of his problems now, but if he was stronger, or if he was more ambitious, I can't help but feel he'd be in a better position now.

Of course, if I am to talk about others not being motivated enough, I should also examine myself and ganbaru.

So...ganbaru, ne.

One Step Forward, Three Steps Back

No gym on weekends. Too many people. Start again tomorrow.

I started using a smart alarm clock last night to monitor my sleeping activities and - would you believe it - my phone died a little after 6am. My statistics now say I woke up at that time and I have no idea how to change it. Oh well. Will make sure it's fully charged tonight. Or at least plugged in to my computer.

Ganbaru, yo.

I went to the gym the day before yesterday, but didn't go yesterday. Instead, I went to the tailor to get my suits - they were well made, but omg really did not look good. The handwork was good, but nothing else was. I looked like a linebacker from the mainland from the 80's. That bad? Yes, that bad.

Gym later today - no more than one day break for non-workout days. I've been over-eating as well; a certain hazard when living at home. That, and I have a certain penchant for cheese, lol.

I started using Estee Lauder's Illuminator serum yesterday on top of their Skin Perfectionist one. I want to even out the freckles on my skin as well as close up the pores around my nose. The pore serum worked pretty well on my cheeks - I had pretty big pores around my cheekbone area but now they're a lot finer. Because the nose is a big problem area, I don't expect noticeable improvement until I'm almost done with the bottle.

My scar is still fairly obvious, but I cover it up with BB cream when I go out. In terms of BB cream, I've tried Missha, Dr. Jart, and Hanskin over the last few years. I must say I prefer Hanskin out of the three in terms of texture. It was much more liquid than the other two, which were much creamier but also more difficult to smooth out over the skin. It evened out my skin tone without being too pale, which I really liked.

In terms of inner improvement, I need to read a few judgments: the one my friend wrote, the recent one about corruption and the CEO of a major television broadcasting company, and one from a few months ago about probate.

Other things on my to-do list: clean booboo's face, clean hippo, vacuum my room. I don't expect any of these three things to get done any time soon. :D

Sad Start

Worked out today, but that's because I ate a ton of cheese at lunch. Mmm, cheese.

I need to do one self-improving thing a day on top of exercise. I didn't do anything today. I didn't get the scholarship that I applied for, and I'm pretty disappointed. Okay, I'm really disappointed, and I know I shouldn't have been expecting anything, but I can't help it. Sigh.

Ashita mo ganbaru.

The Start of the Journey

I'm not particularly fat, but I'm not fit either.

I'm not particularly ugly, but I'm not pretty either.

I'm not particularly anything bad, but I want to be something amazing.

I'm reinventing my blog so I can track my progress as I try to reinvent myself too.

Ganbarimasu.
