Goodbye March and April, Hello May

Konbanwa minna san, this is Runa again. It has been quite sometime since the last time I wrote or update anything in tumblr isn’t it?

There were lots of things have happened during March and April. In short, I could say that I’m doing fine. It just there are things to improve here and there, my habit, personality, skills, and stuffs. Well, life itself is an neverending struggle to be a better person anyway, don’t you think so?

Some people here might know that I had my birthday on March. Thank you so much for kind letters and gifts from you guys. Love them so much. I’ll treasure them forever. Thank you so much for remembering my birthday and gave me such a warm wishes.

Entering another year, means that I need to be more mature than last year. “I need to be a better woman with full of kindness, sincerity, honesty, and knowledge”, with this thought I step into my age of 23.

As for my music progress, I did composed some songs these days lately. I will surely share them with you guys here when I could have time to do a bit better recording. I love to sing and express my feelings through songs even though I’m not good at singing. I remembered the time when I was in Netherlands, it was a painful moment when I couldn’t express myself through my music since I didn’t really have access to piano. Some people out there go out for party with friends to calm themselves when they feel insecure, but for me, music is one of the way I could trully express myself, my feelings, my worries, in a form of melody and words. That’s why, eventhough I used to run away quite often from music, I could start to feel that music is just so important for me and I couldn’t live without it.

For my piano exam preparation, there were times when I was down due to various reasons. I feel anxious. Sometimes a bit lack of confident. Being worry here and there. Thinking too much. Fear. Those feelings sometimes covered me into the darkness, but everytime I cheer and talk to myself, ”you need to be strong, Runa. You can do it. Don’t stress yourself out. Do your best, as what you always encouraged others to do so. Believe in yourself, add your hard work and just try wholeheartedly with full of sincerity and stop thinking or worrying too much.” Then I could feel better and gain more spirit to strive again without running away from music anymore. Also thank you for family and those special friends who believe in me and keep supporting me in various ways. Thank you so much again. I am surely not going to give up.

For my work, as some of you have known, I’m not really keen of working in the office, but then I know that I should and it’s best for me to master the work. Sometimes due to the dislike feeling, I don’t really put good focus and concentration to learn new stuff in work, I slacking off. As the result, I became really careless and not having a good responsibility, which are bad. Now, this is May, and I want to change this thoughts of mine. I want to truly learn to love my job and try to learn it more seriously and wholeheartedly. To really learn to love it sincerelly. I will try my best on this too!

Oh yes, I did went to Inacraft 2014, one of a big art exhibition in here. It was tiring since the area was quite big, but it was really enjoyable for me to see lots of art stuffs and handcraft and dresses. Lovely moments.

Goodbye March and April, hello May, and I wish you guys good luck and best wishes. All the best for everything and thank you for reading this post.

Special note for Mizumi: I hope you enjoy your trip at Japan now and be happy and be safe for the entire trip. Miss you load. andddd enjoy the KOKIA concert! Let’s go together to watch her another concert someday somewhere

Okay then, I will call it a day, May has come and it means another month for me to walk forward again. Will update again in another chance

Take care, With love and peace Nammyohorengekyo, valerianaruna

four month update

So, it has been an official four months since I joined MFP.  Before then, I had gone from 215 to 208 just by exercising a bit each week thanks to my job.  A lot has changed in the past four months and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.  I feel so energized and happy all the time.  I am doing well in school and I am on some sort of schedule and have a daily routine!  So here is a list of things I have done to make me a better me during the past four little months:

-have cut out alcohol from my diet almost completely and have a drink maybe twice a month.

-have traded coffee in for tea with the occasional Starbucks trip.  Other than that, I drink only water, about 8-16 8 oz cups a day.

-I work out 5-7 times a week for half an hour to an hour.  Quite simply, I alternate between walking and running around my family room while watching television.  After my cardio session I lift 7-lb weights concentrating on my arms and including squats and lunges as well (I do about 2 sets of 10 reps, sometimes 3 reps).  It really is that simple.  I also try to fit in at least an extra half hour of random walking somewhere in the day.

-Have cut out fast food completely and eat out as little as possible.

-I am currently working on slowly weening myself off of meat and going vegetarian.

-I have gone from a size 14/16 to a 10/12, from 208 lbs to 188 lbs.

Today feels like a good day and I am going to shoot for twenty minutes of running today.  The other day I hit 15 and since I did not work out yesterday I am hoping to hit that big 2-0.  Wish me luck!
