here's one for ya
during my keep-fit class, i had everyone lie on their backs with their legs up as if pedalling a bycicle. after several minutes, one man came to a halt. "why did you stop pedalling?" i shouted. "i didnt stop," he said, wheezing. "im coasting."

knowing is easy. committing is hard.
last night before going to bed i jotted down in my little book of things learned for the past 8 months or so. it was a relatively long list. but i guess anything longer wouldve been quite pretentious. besides, i made a note specifically reminding myself that this market list of things would not be attainable unless i get to practice them. Not exactly a shopping spree.
1. comfortable living space? hell yeah. after semi refurbishing my tiny excuse of a room, it actually seems bigger now, and has a bit more style thanks to mom's green vine reading chair and a new bookshelf. (lisa you should totally visit and spend the night. bring cathy too!)
now i just have to keep the room less cluttered. 要就收，不要就丟。 its that simple. and it rhymes!
2. -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 : on this scale of integers, try to keep your opinion of someone at zero. anything less would cause a) much pain and strain on your mental health.
b) creating a personality that would most likely
mold you into a misanthrope.
c) and lastly, its just no fun.
i know how good it feels to foster hate and dislike towards someone. but being like that is just not being happy. i want to be happy.
3. gaining knowledge and figuring out what i want to do. many of us are out there thinking up all the possibilities in life. thats wonderful. but i realized that, at least in my case, i have to also consider what works, even if it means sacrificing something so dear. sometimes i wonder if this is all life has to offer me.
taking action after thinking things through would make me feel less so. thus, action is key. i need to get my butt out of the chair.
the above are just the three main things that are pending for attention right now. i am grateful to those who have opened my eyes and made me care about such things that i used to procrastinate on.
