I did it, I actually started exercising and my conclusion: I hated it.
I didn’t hate the exercises (although the side plank was very close to being hated). I hated the fact that I have no rhythm, the fact that I am really out of shape and that I can’t coordinate my moves at all. Talk about not exercising at all in the past 10 years or so.
I started off thinking what lame exercises (I was only at the warm up part), but after 15 minutes I was panting and sweating. The exercises were easy (except the planks), but I could barely get myself to do them, even for 30 seconds. I didn’t even finish the 30 minutes routine. I was starting to feel sick not because of the exercises but because I ate too much when I got home. That’s another mistake I did, but heck I was hungry after 9 hours at work.
My first impressions about fitness routines are mixed. I don’t feel that I am actually exercising but at the end of it I can tell I put some effort it in because I am out of breath. I am not giving up on it any time soon, and I will hopefully get in the rhythm of things.
Now moving on from the hard work zone, look what I got:
I loved the Watchmen movie that much that I actually bought the comic book. It wasn’t as expensive as I though. Compared with the Batman or Justice League comics, it was actually cheap. I haven’t read it yet, but that’s because I had no time and I wasn’t in the right mood to enjoy a comic book. I actually need peace and relaxation to actually enjoy reading, no matter what I am reading.
My friend told me I am insane for buying so “much crap“, but unlike her crap (clothes and make up) mine won’t go out of style or expire. I admit I do spend to much money on mangas and comic books, but in the past two years I only made 2 or 3 purchases (only to complete my favorite collections: Kare no Kano and Dragonball). See I don’t have that many, just ignore the shelves that are empty.

Another weekend came and went
cre-cre comic books, Free time, photography, Watchmen, Weekend News 2 Comments
The weekend came and went.
From my point of view this was one of the best weekends I had in ages. I didn’t do anything special but I manage to do about everything I wanted and planned on doing.
Saturday was the laziest day I had in months. I woke up and cleaned my room, fed Marlanu’ (my cat) and the tiny turtle I was supposed to take care of, took a bath then left. And that was about all the physical effort I made all day.
We spent the weekend at some friends, since Johnny had to fix some computers.
I knew I would get bored so I was very much inspired to bring along my Watchmen comic book. I had this book since the beginning of the year and I never had the chance to read it. I saw the movie last December and I was really interested in reading the comic book.
We’ll it was a good thing that Johnny was really busy because it took me all Saturday to finish the book (starting from lunch till 10PM). Yup, I spent the entire Saturday reading a comic book. I know people might find this crazy but I just couldn’t let it down. It was better than the movie, things were a little bit clearer and I just didn’t want to let it go until the very end.
I don’t regret it. From my point of view I couldn’t have spent my time any better.
Another thing that I don’t regret was having my camera with me. These friends of Johnny had this great view and they were oblivious to it.
It was a bit of a shock but then again not everybody thinks like me, not everybody enjoys the same things that I do (aka the small things in life). I’ve uploaded all the pictures with their original resolution on our Gallery.
We spent the night over and I was really happy with that. The next day I woke up first (a habit I picked from work) and I got to enjoy the lovely view, the quietness of the neighborhood, the fresh coffee, heck even the cigarette had a different taste.
I had two full hours to myself while everyone was sleeping and I was just sitting in the kitchen thinking and it was then when I realized two things:
