Unexpected

I didn't expect a 16:37 today, as you can see on the right, which is labeled orange. Perhaps the pair of shoes I wore today was too heavy, which was just improper for jogging. Or perhaps the belt was improperly tightened. In a word, I felt rather rather uncomfortable while jogging. So eventually, I had to stop. A little bit frustrated, but anyway, I won't give up.

The Annoying Rain

As you can see in My Jogging Log in the right column, there are numerous "rain"s on the list. I'm not finding an excuse when I added a "rain" to the list. It did rain and chances are that there will still be a couple of rainy days. What's God doing? He must be crazy!
The rain was rather rather rather annoying. The direct consequence was that my daily jogging schedule was completely disrupted. I was again driven mad. Doing jogging on a daily basis is one of the few things that I can insist on. Is Mr. Rain going to remove "jogging" from the list? No! Don't imagine that he has the ability. I'm abler than he is. But what should I do if I want to beat him? Well, I think I have to find an alternative as soon as possible so that I will not stop in those annoying rainy days, for I'm a sports lover and I don't wanna be a couch potato! But.. what's that "alternative"? I suppose it's swimming. I love swimming just as much as jogging, though I'm only a beginner. However, I have to pay for it, for swimming is not free. I have to pay at least RMB 10-15 each time. That's no small number. After all, I'm not a son of a millionaire. But I just cannot find a better choice. I desire sports! I love sports! Doing daily sports gives me happiness and health. As a matter of fact, sports has already become part of my daily life. It's easy for me to feel good while and after doing sports. On the contrary, if I don't do daily sports, I'm likely to feel bad. For me, sports serves as a natural emotional activator. So, investment on sports is sure to be worthwhile, isn't it?

I have a jogging companion.

I used to do jogging alone, and I've already got used to it. I might feel a little bit lonely sometimes, but it's still enjoyable anyway.
Now I'm lucky enough to find a companion who loves doing jogging just as I do. He's my good friend, Vincent, a very good jogger. We ran around the 4th teaching building and the school library, about 3.5 min a lap on average. Once we ran 18 laps in 1:05:36, as you can see in My Jogging Log in the right column. It's cool! From my own perspective, Vincent has to suffer more pains than I do while jogging, for he's heavier and bigger. But he just doesn't think so. He's such a persevering guy whom I admire a lot.
I will persevere, he will persevere and we will persevere.

The quicker, the earlier, the better.

I'm always being too slow. Perhaps it's because of the tricks played on me by Mr. Neurasthenic or Mr. Depression. But anyway, I have to do something.
There has always been an anonymous force from my inner body which urges me to make a complete change of my life. Is that the so-called "driving force"? Maybe. As you can see, the essay Change Myself is just the product of him. And this time, what does he urge me to do? He urges me to be quicker, quicker and quicker! He's absolutely right. If I can be quicker, then everything in my life will start to change. I still remember those days when I was too lazy to do everything and would not accomplish my assignments until the deadline dropped. I paid for my laziness and slowness. I suffered great pains sitting up late trying to finish my homework the day before school started. It's unforgettable. But did I really like doing so? No! I hated the feeling of being at a loss what to do!
Needless to say, I have to draw a lesson from that. I must do everything before it's too late. But what's the first step? It's being quicker. If I can be quicker, then I won't be late again. The feeling of being earlier is good, isn't it?

A Nice Meet

This Wednesday, I had a nice meet with one of my former senior high school classmates. He's also one of my former deskmates, who's a very very interesting guy. Although he's 20, he speaks and acts as if he's only 12.
I still remember those days when we were deskmates. He was rather annoying at that time. In fact, one of his biggest interests is annoying me. He hurriedly turned to me for help when he was asked by the teacher to read his answers aloud; he secretly glimpsed at my paper and copied my answers when we were taking a test; he purposely pretended that everything's being OK when he'd done something bad to my books.
...
Nevertheless, he's an interesting and generous one. And it's been ages since we last met. I didn't expect that he would call me and I even mistook his voice for someone else's at first hearing. At his proposal, we met at Wu Jiao Chang this Wednestday night. We had a happy meal chat at a restaurant; we had a happy singing at Superstar; we had a happy time at Tom's World; we had a happy ending at Mcdonald's; and we had a happy chat all the way. It's really cool, exciting and unforgettable! It might be the happiest time in my life!
Everyone would love to make friends with Mr. Happiness. Actually, Mr. Happiness is everywhere in our life. Have you found him?

Change Myself

I suddenly remember Leehom Wang's famous album Change Myself. There's no need for me to repeat that I'm being frustrated and helpless now. But the key is: what should I do? As you can see from my previous essays, I've been using the strategy -- to "let it be". But.. is it really the best solution? My opinion on this question may vary from time to time. But at present, I don't think it to be the best method. Instead, I need some changes, though I hate changes. There's no denying that nobody's personality is perfect. There are more or less some shortcomings. For me, it's more evident. It seems that I'm always living "around a circle". If I do not actively use force, my life track will never change. It will be a "circle" forever. But is that the life style I really want? No! Absolutely NOT!! If I can be more active, my life may be completely transformed. That is to say, if I can make a breakthrough, the current "circle" will no longer exist.
Therefore, if I want to be myself, I have to change the current "myself" first. So, Koala Choi, don't be so down! Be high instead!! Come on!

I love nighttime.

I've already forgotten since when have I got this addiction. How I wish it could always be nighttime, though I know it's impossible! I don't know why I love nighttime so much. In the nighttime, It's easy for me to feel good whether I choose to take a walk or to do jogging. I enjoy the peacefulness. I enjoy being myself.

Losing Appetite

As the title indicates, I've lost my appetite recently. Is there anything wrong with my stomach? No, my stomach's OK. Am I having a temperature? No, my temperature's OK. Then, what's wrong? Mr. Depression came again? You are right. As a matter of fact, this is not the first time that this kind of situation has happened. But I'm just too astonished to find that it will replay when I'm 20. If I were 12 now, then it wouldn't be surprising. But I'm 20 now! How could it happen again?!
I tried to find the answer, and finally I got it. The answer is: perhaps I just have a special affection for being home. I love my home too much. Nobody else can understand it.

A Deep Breath

Take a deep breath, and you'll find yourself lost in such pleasant weather. I hear the step of Miss Spring coming nearer and nearer. Yes, the lovely season is coming. All kinds of creatures are coming back to life. What they see is another brand-new year. For me, it's just another brand-new start. What I have to do is to take hold of the opportunity, for the key of the whole year lies in spring, doesn't it?
I just cannot wait to take another deep breath. Wow! It's so fascinating! The air smells a little bit like that in hot summers. I love it, though I don't know why. Maybe it's just because of the soaring of the temperature these days. Haha..
And the new semester is within my sight. What shall I do? I think there's no need for me to repeat it. Come on! I can!!

I almost cried.

Never has it been such a long difficult journey. Never have I run in such strong wind. I almost cried! Was God testing me? I don't know. Nevertheless, I made it eventually. Wow!! And now, I'm just taking pride in myself. Haha..
I know I still have a long way to go. But anyway, I will persevere.

Another "Wow" Day

It's another "Wow" today! I've run for several times, but how long on earth did I run each time? According to Google Map, which is really a powerful tool, a lap in my case adds up to about 400 meters, equivalent to a circle of a standard track. What a coincidence!
Today I ran 25 laps in an hour (To be exact, it's 59:59! Is that amazing?!). That is to say, I ran 10000M! Wow!! That's cool!
In one word, doing jogging on a daily basis makes me feel good! Wanna have a try? Start right now! You won't be regretful!

Deeply Moved By Forrest Gump

I haven't seen many movies, but Forrest Gump, which I have just finished, is no doubt the best one. It's such a classic that everyone is going to be moved, and I'm just no exception. To tell the truth, I was almost moved to tears.
There are lots of classic quotes, such as "Life is a box of chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get." But what I learned most from the movie is the quote "Put the past behind you before you can move on." From my own perspective, for anyone who can really follow this quote, his life is sure to be completely transformed.

I'm seeking...

I'm always being trapped by some unsolved psychological problems. Sometimes it's really annoying. And this is not the first time that I've almost been driven mad.
But if you ask me why I seem to be always suffering such kind of pains, what I can say is just "I don't know." To be frank, it's not a simple question. The answer may be quite complicated. Maybe I was born with such personality or something.

I'm lovin' it!

This morning, I received the book I bought on dangdang.com the day before yesterday. Right is the cover of the book. As you can see, it's entitled C++ Primer. Can you guess what the book is about? You are right. It's a book about C++ computer programming. And if you are careful enough, you can see from the picture that this book is the original English edition! Am I kind of crazy? Haha.. It may be quite difficult for me to read, but I believe that it can also serve as a powerful tool for me to learn and improve my English.

Anyway, I'm lovin' it!

Wow!!

Attracted by this title? Please note that this "Wow" does not refer to World Of Warcraft (Actually, I'm not playing any online games!)! This "Wow" is a real interjection which came out from my mouth after a 1-hour jogging. A 1-hour jogging? Are you cheating? Absolutely not! I ran for a solid hour without a single pause! Sounds unbelievable? But it's true! Several hours ago, I was still wondering whether or not I would be able to create a new record (See Insomnia.), but now I've made it.
What about tomorrow? Will it be another "Wow"? Just wait and see!

My anxiety level is increasing.

As the new semester is approaching, my anxiety level is also increasing. I don't know whether my friends have got the same feeling. For me, I've got used to it. As a matter of fact, I've been suffering from such sort of anxiety since my childhood time.
What should I do? What can I do? Maybe the best solution is just to let it be.

Insomnia

Oh, my god! I haven't enjoyed a good night's sleep for quite a few days! I'm on the edge of being driven mad! What's wrong?
Still remember my last essay which is entitled X=46? To be frank, I wonder whether or not I'll be able to break this record in the following days. Without a good rest and enough energy, how can I expect a new breakthrough?
Actually, Mr. Insomnia seems to be much interested to play with me these days, though I'm not willing to be his friend. Last night, I was awoken by Mr. Insomnia for at least 3-4 times! What a nightmare! When the clock said 8 o'clock, I was again awoken. But this time, it's Dad. "You have to adjust your biological clock, for the new term is coming." OK, I have no alternative but to get up at once, though I was feeling dizzy.
Mr. Insomnia, can you stay away from me? I don't feel like playing with you any longer!

X=46

Still remember My First 40 min+? If so, then it won't be hard for you to get the meaning of "X=46". Haha..
Speed up! I can!!

My First 40 min+

It's the first time that I have run for 40 min+. A little bit challenging, but I managed it.
Tomorrow will be an X for me. X=? 45? 50? 60? I don't know. But I will persevere. Come on!!

Saying Goodbye To Xiaonei And QQ

I've been using Xiaonei and QQ for quite a long period of time, but now I'm here saying goodbye to them. As is known to all, the former one provides fast and convenient SNS service, while the latter one is widely accepted as an excellent IM software. Both are quite popular, especially with us young students. They serve as powerful tools which have created shortcuts for communication between people.
However, I do have wasted too much time and energy on them and I'm just too anxious to ask for a change -- a complete change. So, from this moment on, you will not find me either on Xiaonei or on QQ, but you can still find me here on Blogger.
Am I right this time? I think so.
