Daily Blog Challenge | Day 15 | no escape

march 7, 2016. monday. everybody in the hood woke up a little bit late this time. it was because of what had happened last night. and this day i was thinking and praying as well that Allah make her well and forget all the bad emotional stress our friend is going through right now. ameen.

i was thinking of writing about her today. but i choose not to talk about somebody else's issue that they're are not proud of. leaving my blog updated about almost everything is a record of  what i was. and so i could change something if there's wrong spotted and hopefully build myself in to a better one inshaAllah.

so we went to a traditional market during the morning. i bought some veges and fruits. i didn't cook because my sister and i had a plan to eat out with 2 of our friends.

and then the lunch had done in one of the famous restaurant in town.

so we plan to go to this grocery that has imported goodies. on the way there, there's something happen. we change track. and here's why.

my sister on my back. and the other two on the other motorcycle. we are driving on the way to this grocery i-don't-know-the-name. and all of a sudden my sister shouted at me, "i saw somebody". and i put it in a low profile as 'somebody' because it's not really the subject of this blog. so let's assume that his name is 'somebody'. we informed the other friends about spotting 'somebody'. and we argued until we reach a traffic light and did some confirmation talk. maybe it's him. maybe not.

a bit later and there's motorcyle not too distant from us, stopped. on his helm. at the back of his friend.
he never turn his head toward us. but our intuition gives us more eager to know if it's him or not.

the green hit the traffic light. and snap! we decided to follow the motorcycle to where it's heading and clear out our confusion. we rushed like a policemen chasing a fugitive. excitement!

they parked. and so we do. we all stopped. there you go. it's him. confirmed. we had a short talk and then we left.

sensational. we are all occupied in amusement. until we reach our dormitory and it is still what we are talking about. and here i am writing about it too. i can't get enough about it. that feeling, though. extreme. and i loved it!

1600. we did our gym-aerobic daily routine.

i didn't had my formal dinner that night. left overs. haha. i got exhausted and went to bed so early. set my alarm clock at 0330 in the morning.

word. "do not backbite". it's a no self-improvement. improved yourself instead.

peace out! xoxo

Daily Blog Challenge | Day 14 | one book down

march 6, 2016. sunday. it's the 14th day and it felt like the 14th month. haha. trying to keep it online. and chill out. but there's still a lot of things i did this day.

after a light breakfast, i have sent my friend on a bus terminal. leaving me her motor cycle so we can use it until she came back. that's probably 3 days long.

funny, because this day, there was a lot things that is happening in my mind thinking i will put it in here.

empty.

i couldn't recall it. it doesn't even ring a bell. but i will inshaAllah. remember. and on that moment that it will come out, i will make sure i will write it on my memo so it won't go away and will finally put it in here. i love sharing. and hopefully inspire others. 

we were planning to go grocery. hypermarket. goods and stuffs for the week's supply. but we didn't went.

woah. i had finished the book by afternoon. and i am so happy. starting another one. that night. i went to meet a friend doing my final thesis for my requirements. finally, i did some initial codings. feeling geek. haha. after 2 and a half hours, she sent me back to my dormitory.

i didn't had my dinner. i took tea and some cookies.

around 2300. something happen unusual. and i cannot tell the story here. i could tell you my thoughts about it but not exactly what had happened.

jinn possession on one of our friend from thailand on the next door. laughing, crying, uttering some words all at the same time. it creeps me out. well, not just me. but behind all what happened that night. i thank God up there.

finally, everyone slept around 0300 in the morning. result of the creepy-jinn-thing-possession.

"be kind. all the time." okay self?.

peace you all. xoxo

Daily Blog Challenge | Day 13 | oatmeal and chocolate

march 5, 2016. saturday. don't know where to start to write this day. but as i had mentioned on my previous blog, that i'm trying not to procrastinate. at least on posting. writing anything. a challenge is a challenge. i am engaged and i need to fulfill it. for my personal improvement and self-satisfaction. because you know, i never became satisfied with whatever i perform. at least for myself. it's always not enough. i can always find a hole and less satisfaction. and i don't know if this is a some kind of a mental disorder or whatever. i don't feel like i am doing all my best at everything i do. and it's funny because there's always someone who is going to remind me that i did fantastic. haha! i'm never gonna fall for this lie.

oatmeal and chocolate milk in a small size of bowl. my lemon water. and went to gym for aerobic.

an hour passed by and we went back to my dorm. and i passed out. exhausted.

around 1000. of course, my smoothie habit. this time, it's guyavano. perfect. offered some friends to taste it. and they loved it too.

for our lunch. it's the best. haha. thai food. and because i so much crave for shrimp. shrimp. i don't know if it's going to embarrass me, but this is one of my favorite sea food. there i said it.

had nothing to do that afternoon. i took a nap. mind refreshed. and here i am. writing.

"focus"

peace out! xoxo

Daily Blog Challenge | Day 12 | friday love day

march 4, 2016. friday. holy day. normally, you have that feeling of making the day special. that's just within us. muslims. friday is always a blessed day. it is as if, you have given a chance. a chance to reflect. to begin again. repent. and start fresh.

i had my morning coffee. alhamdulillah. it's a great great day. tried to finish up this blog but failed to do so. that's why i'm writing it today. and it's saturday night. and honestly, i really don't like this procrastination. i'm try to subdue this habit of mine. and inshAllah one day, i'll get over it.

around 1000. once again. my favorite part of the day and i guess i'm getting addicted to it. making smoothie. this time it's a carrot.

for lunch. my brilliant roommate cooked a chicken with vegetables and a red rice and fell for it. i loved it.

searched for my plastic mug with straw. ready to filled it up with water. and the big galon is empty. great. i need to phone the water delivery.

done.

gym hour.

went to giant for some groceries. apple. orange. lemon. and i found this green tea i didn't even know what if i'm gonna like it. but the box itself is so interesting and convincing. thank God i bought it.

"never procrastinate"

peace out! xoxo

Daily Blog Challenge | Day 11 | dunkin donut

march 3, 2016. thursday. pretty much a normal day.

i started my morning with a burger. a coffee. and some oatmeal. yes. almost perfect.

but again, depression about my external hard disk because it doesn't work. it won't open and i have important files in it. thankfully, i have a genius friend. i gave it to him that noon so he could check it and probably get back my files. he is my only hope after i tried all my best.

i boiled chicken for lunch. we ate. not to mention the snacks right after the meal. and i think i needed to write it down here too. so i can keep it on records.

around 1300 i felt the need of connecting to the internet. my friends and i went to dunkin donut. bad. i need to have a bite. and it's too bad when you are in some kind of a struggle, losing some weight for example. everything around you seems like a pile of food just like this one i captured. 


my samsung camera does work perfectly
gosh, i did ate some of it. i don't say no to food. specially like these ones. but luckily, i didnt binge. i ate intuitively. and inshAllah it will be for good. i'd love to write about 'intuitive eating' one day because it's so relevant.

i rush at the gym around 1500. i left my laptop with a downloading state. my friends brought it back for me. i can't be late at gym. i have schedule to catch up.

"never underestimate prayer"

peace out! xoxo

Daily Blog Challenge | Day 10 | Burger in breakfast

getting up so early is one of the benefit from sleeping early the night before. i got up before anyone else around me. self praise is going on here. haha!

the silence. the darkness outside the window. this feeling before the sun will rise from the horizon and this world where i live starts to commence busyness. it's a gift. morning is a gift for those people who are seeking blessing in this world and hereafter. dawn is the best. it's a blessed moment.

around 0600 one of my friend started to make a breakfast. and surprisingly, it's a burger. blessings doesn't it?! every second of this present life i'm having won't be forgotten later on. it will always be part of my future. we don't stay forever where we are. we constantly move from place to another. and i want to make everything count. learn from bad and keep the good ones.

morning coffee. done.

clean up my bed. done.

read my book. not done yet. got tired after 2 hours. and went to kitchen to make a smoothie. an apple smoothie. with carrots. oh it's perfect. not for my sister's taste. i don't know, and i didn't ask. i just felt it.

lunch time is approaching. my sister went to her tajweed class. and i went back to reading. i. need. to. finish. it. asap.

around 1300. we had our lunch.

preparing for gym after 1500. everyday routine. and i tried to keep my sister on track. she might break down for this intense exercise activity i am putting her on. it's what she wants. lose some of her fats. she is fat. and i am not an exemption.

writing this one now because i slept so early last night. being productive the next day one great accomplishment.

"don't settle, keep going" if you stop. life doesn't

peace out! xoxo

Daily Blog Challenge | Day 9 | Smoothie

march 1, 2016. tuesday. yesterdays hangover from all the things i did were still felt during this day. tired in short.

breakfast. our usual pancake. of course. then we had this friend of ours inspired us to come to gym at 8am.

we went.

my sisters body pain got worse after we had the aerobic. i gave her some strenght workout for the first time i thought she can handle. this leaves her sore. sorry not sorry. that's just the way it is. no pain no gain.

we didn't went anywhere during this day. we had our little snacks around 1100. and for me, i took it as a lunch. not having time to make one along the afternoon. i made two types of smoothie in one setting. i loved it. because i made it.

one of my friend asked me what did i do to make it the same taste as those smoothie selling outside. well, it's all about practice. it's a joke and if anyone knows how to make smoothie and read this. just keep it between you and me. the secret on making a smoothie. lol 

i spent the whole afternoon reading a book. a little bit of a break and goes back to reading. i'm not goin to say i am addicted. the book per se is so great that's keeping you goes on and on. and there's more to that factor why i wanted to finish it. there's another book waiting for me on the line.

so the day ends. night came and we ate macarooni for dinner. i can't finish a one serving. so i called a friend and help me finish it. it's call reinforcement. you don't want to waste a food, right?!

i slept so early. that's why i'm writing this the next day.

"no pain, no gain" is the word of the day inspired by the sore i am feeling right at this very moment.

peace out! xoxo

Daily Blog Challenge | Day 7 | Aerobic is fun

february 29, 2016. monday. nothing much to say about it. had a normal breakfast with all my roommates. and a permanent guest from another room. that means, she is almost always present every breakfast meeting. 'may' her name. a chinese.

she's weird. but that's fine.

i made my bed. arranged clutters everywhere. and swiped the floor. and that's all i remember. now this is a problem when i try to write the day after. i can't exactly remember what i did. especially when you try to force to think and nothing really happens after a quiet few minute.

aha! i read. the book from my previews blog. overwhelmed at it until i spent 2 to 3 hours. thinking i could finish it. but no. i don't read without deep understanding. well, i have to contemplate before leaving a chapter. absorbing all the possible knowledge that i could get from it's context. call me greedy but i won't let an unfamiliar word became familiar before i let it go.

merriam dictionary is the best dictionary phone app i've ever had.

moving on. we had our irregular lunch. yummy russian dish. not the exactly the same with the original recipe. but close to it.  potato is the main ingredients. too bad i didn't had it in my camera.

we went to gym that afternoon.

we joined the aerobic and for the first time. my enjoyment at exercising goes 10. i mean this had never happened from previous aerobic dance session before. my sister is a little bit of a silly when it comes to crowd. and imagine, her level of craziness went insane till the dance instructor joined her amusement. in short, we really had fun.

exhausted and starving. my sister and i went to my orthodontics for my monthly check up control. that was around 1900 in the evening. it took us 30 mins long for us to reach the clinic-house. wet and dark road is what made us drove on a normal speed because i too careful. i am.

after a few minutes. said goodbye to my doctor and hit the road again heading back to my campus. i was froze on the way back. rain is pouring. and i still manage to drive.

fetched some friends from a near mall on the way back to our dormitory. had a dinner. fried chicken and a cup of rice. and soon right after the shopping. we went back to our campus.

what a day! and i am grateful for it.

word for the day. or word for this blog "FOLLOW YOUR PASSION" read at bill gates post :)

peace! xoxo
