been thinking a lot of late.
Currently sipping good old plain water from my new bottle to prevent myself from getting dehydrated over and over again. Dont like the feeling of suddenly realising I havent been religiously hydrating myself :[ (yes I bought a new bottle to encourage myself to drink more. It has a cute sipper that I can bite to drink without feeling guilty, so shiok please!) Anyway, I'm on a cleansing-mode now. Been pondering a lot on certain issues I havent been able to have the time to think about. Which always make me confuse because unearthing them will bring upon a myriad of emotions I'm not ready to handle. I have been sitting on them for the longest time now, and of course having ample success in ignoring them too. I am, the master of ignorance. Or so I believe.
Which is bad, actually. I'm not proud of that uncanny characteristic of mine but sometimes it does help me sooth the situation by not putting pressure on myself. Right?
After YOG, I had I think a whole week to myself, sitting at home, just cleaning up, baking cookies (mom didnt pressure me to bake this year, which is good. I made the simplest favouritest cookie at my own sweet time while watching gossip girl & pushing daisies)., more cleaning. I kinda liked being alone with myself. Its a little queer at first because i didnt get to talk to anyone but after a while, the serenity became a blanket of comfort. I really miss being with myself, just reflecting and understanding my own feelings without anyone rushing me or having any kind of distraction. It wasnt like seeking refuge kind of feeling, it's like a retreating back to my comfort zone which I was so out of touch for a long time.
Last week, True Yoga called me while I was in the car & the guy on the phone (who sounded chinese with a hint of caucasian english) stuttered trying to get the pronunciation of my name right. I, for one, cannot stand people who couldnt pronounce my name correctly that's why I always introduce myself as "Julie" for short instead of "Juliza" (Joo-lee-zuh). So anyway, he introduced himself as Sean & said Syidah recommended me to them & I just got myself a 2-week free yoga pass. I was delighted of course! Who doesnt like free stuffs! I've been meaning to do yoga there for the longest time anyway. So he asked when I'm free yadadadada & I went down to Ocean Towers on tuesday for profiling & get my free pass.
The place is GORGEOUS! I fell in love right after i stepped foot into the place. The ambiance was so right for me. The receptionist brought me to the lounge area to sit while I wait for Sean to meet me. So out came this charming man and we get to know each other. He was doodling on my profile sheet while talking to me btw, which kinda distracted me. When I told him I aim to lose about 5 kilos, he peeped under the table to look at my legs and he was like "your legs are perfect! I've never seen such beautiful long legs before" & I just rolled my eyes because obviously I'm not happy with my legs. So anyway, he brought me around the studios and all that and we sat down. He wanted to close the deal but I was reluctant after he showed me the price.
$200 for one time registration fee
$500 monthly fee?!
No thanks.
I told him no but I smiled. Which was a mistake because he asked how low can I go so that he can close the deal.
I said $100
He went in, negotiated with his boss and came back with a pout and told me he cant get me $100.
but he gave me
$200 50 for one time registration fee
$500 129 monthly fee?!
Unlimited access to the studios anytime for a year.
I couldnt stop smiling after that of course & signed the deal :]
So I'm going for my first yoga class with True Yoga tomorrow morning! Super excited, going for Hatha Yoga which is the basic & the well-rounded yoga class for breathing, stretching, relaxing, mental & physical cleansing. I cant wait to meet my Guru too. Heehee.
I'm very determined to lose that 5 kilos though. Fasting month + YOG didnt really work with my weight loss plan.
I'm starting to go for my runs again and it feels so good to be covered in perspiration, gasping for air and just enjoying the view of the river and the beautiful plants & huge causarina trees. So far I lost 2 kilos which was exceptionally easy surprisingly.
I realised that my mood has been better too, my thinking wasnt so clouded as before and I'm looking on the positive side now.
On top of that, school schedule is out and I'll be schooling 2 to 3 times a week only. & I'm looking for a new job to get busy with and all since Momo is also busy with his own school things too. & since he's living in a hostel, its like NS all over again but I'm happy with how we are. Eventhough we didnt get to spend much time together, but visiting him in his hall and seeing him fussing around with assignments and all that, somehow there's a sense of accomplishment. That we've gone so far, this is it. After this 4 years, I'm looking forward to the future with him :]
I'll just end this post with some food for thought:
