Tonight

Jan 11, 2016 03:22


Here's an amusing fact for you guys: did you know every time you brush your teeth, you're actually cleaning a part of your skeleton?!

So, we visited an old friend of mom today - since I make exceptions for coffee at gatherings, I drank a lot of it today. Can't say "NO!" to the Arabian coffee when I have the chance. Will be awake for tonight so might as well write this update. I feel a lot better today, no pain except that I got my TOM when I was working out. It's okay, I took a pain killer, even though I shouldn't, but until I buy a water bag guess I'll have to go this way. I finished the books the other day.

Three Men in a Boat
This book is so funny, I enjoyed it from the beginning till the end. It felt more like a tour guide for the places in UK. It would have been more interesting if I actually knew those parts he was talking about, still I learned a thing or two about it. Like I never knew there's a place called (Reading) in UK. How strange. Also, the stories on how they were packing for the trip, boil the water for some tea, or how George couldn't make breakfast cause he was worried about waking Mrs. G up and then mistakenly taken as a "theif" to the police court were few of my favorites.

The Body in the Library
I actually finished this last year, beforeThree Men in a Boatbut didn't write my thoughts about it. WOW! The things people do for money! Maybe I should learn a thing or two as well!!! Just kidding! But serioulsy guys, killing others for money seems ... I dunno!? Reasonable?! Earning money is really hard, whoever says that money doesn't bring happiness is totally wrong. I can't efford some important things right now because of this paper, don't you think people would do anyting to get it?! But to kill someone to have it is going too far. I actually suspected the right "person" who did the murder but couldn't figure out how it was done.

Goodreads
I've been using this app to track my reading progress, just yesterday I logged in from its site and totally loving it. It has all the motivation to keep on reading. I can read reviews, track my reading, how far I read everyday, get recommendations and all. When I was updating my reading for the last book, I realized it took me a very long time to finish it. I started at 20th of the last month and finished at 8th of this month. That's like 18 days for a book! Shows that I'm a very slow reader, I know there were days I didn't read in between but still I don't like that speed so I'll work on that by doing a challenge. I set it to 10 books this year! I know it's a small number but it's very very VERY realistic one for me. I haven't read in a very long time, and choosing a big number is more like fooling myself. Not to mention most of the reading that I did were in Arabic, I don't remember when was the last time I read an English book, I mean before my current reading ones.

Book Fair
I hope by the time it's March, I'll have a good job with good income. I'd love to buy more books this year. I love reading from a physical book, I know it costs money and takes space in the room but nothings beats the joy of reading from a book and turning it's pages with your hands rather than chaning it with your finger on the screen. But even e-books have their advantages, for example they are ... FREEEEEE! So yeah! I'm wishing and working hard on the job hunt so I can spend a little money in the book fair.

Advance Pilates Update
I'm actually rather surprised when I was able to do the workouts in pilates position. Some where really easy, like the double leg left where I didn't support my tail bone. I almost couldn't believe myself when I was doing it smoothly, this move was really hard on me, even when I did it with support the first time it totally took my breath away. Some where a bit hard, felt like doing it for the first time, when I was doing the Up Up Down Down on my toes, I hit my left side of the chest and got hurt then I stopped. This somehow caused the bleeding in my mouth because it was only that day and didn't bleed afterwards - I don't know how it happened, but it was in the same timing. The rest are so-so, I can't do them in high reps but I'm working toward that.

books, reading challenge, book fair, workout, pilates, today
