Dear Diary,

Today, I am trying the two sets 7 minutes workout for the first time. Although it was hard, I succeeded to finish it anyway.  But I did not do it properly and completely. Most of the exercise I done is wrong and it did not stimulate my body properly and leaving the golden opportunity of building a big and lean muscle to be skipped away. It did not mean that I did not want to build strong muscle but I could not stand the pressure and force that put on my muscle anymore. My muscle seemed like not strong enough to finish every exercise properly. But, from what I had read on the internet about the body building facts, it was said that the muscle will rebuild itself if it torn off from doing exercise so to form a much stronger and bulkier muscle to withstand a much more bigger force acting on it.

I will promise myself to keep on doing the exercise twice from this day onwards because I really want to build a strong and muscular body. And today morning I did see the result of what I had achieve recently pay off. I could see my muscle at my chest has become bulkier and I was pretty happy with it. I will continue on doing the exercise, even though I may not doing it properly but I want to do it because I want to achieve the result behind all the hard work. I realize that we must do something instead of dreaming about it to see the result you always dreamed about. There is no fault of dreaming about something but we have to do it after we dreamed about it because the thing you dream about is something you really want, something I really want. And I can say there are still many things I want to do from the list I keep in my mind that I put the things I dreamed to do in my life or in the future.

I want to start a new story. And the new story I want to talk about will be my attendance to the taekwondo practice. This is my first time of knowing such a remarkable self defense mechanism. I have wanted to learn taekwondo since I came back from national service. I found that I very weak and many of the heavy jobs set out in the camp I could not do it. I felt I do not enjoy my life all this time of being an outgoing teenager. All of my friends there always go out with their friends for doing some extreme activities. And all I have done is just to sit at home and watching television. Due to the activities they done, they are able to develop a much healthier and stronger body. Not like me, I am not even able to hold a person as he falling down with his back to me.

But I will not be a hedonistic person, I will try to use my remaining precious time to enjoy the life I really want it to be. I will enjoy every taekwondo practice I go in the future. Although it is hard but I will consider it as a meaningful experience that I ever have, no matter it is wonderful or intimidating. I appreciate all the things I have in my life, including these experiences I am going to get.
