A while ago, coincidentally I watched the grand final round on miss beauty 2009 in my country on TV. I am not really interested in this kind of program, as a matter of fact; however, most of my family was already around the only TV in the house. Lazily I followed what was happening on TV. Everybody was talking about a nice looking girl who they said was living in the neighborhood. Of course the people in the whole city, perhaps in the province I live, are supporting her. My family yielded her name loudly when she was giving her presentation on modeling judgment. She just looks cute, I guess, a little bit different from the other 4 finalists from other provinces. And in my opinion, she does not look as beautiful as the others.
Guess what, she came up as the winner for the whole year! Since, again, I am not really eager to the show; I did not pay much thought on the result. But what goes in my mind is that how she could beat the other finalists that looked more attractive to me. Was that something wrong in the judgment? Or perhaps there was something has been done to raise her to be the winner? I guess she comes from a moderate family that has no big capabilities on doing such a thing. How could she?
Short talk I heard from my family that they know her quite well as a nice, humble and cheerful girl who like making friends everywhere. My sister who is a friend of hers in their school added that she has a high sense of social care that makes her be loved by her friends and teachers. She is just a girl that likes to be around others and likes to listen better than to speak. Her speaking style is also just merely common as other girls in her age, but her words have meaning and she never withdraws her words. Something else that I start to like her more is that she is chosen as a school library keeper, a librarian’s assistant, with the duty of making sure all books are available according to the library inventory. And she likes the job.
Well, I guess I was wrong to judge her, and I am sure all judges at the show had made the good choice. Women beauty is not always seen from the physical attractiveness; it is much more coming up from inside – which is mostly called inner beauty.
I feel that my weight is lighter now and that is great. To tell you, it is a kind of hard work that I almost gave up after months taking exercises and doing some sports. I ought to divide my time between my work and my weight and it was apparently something impossible for me to do so. Moreover, things were quite hard when I could hardly manage them. My work seemed to need me to pay extra attention especially on this peak season; meanwhile, by sitting on my work desk before a set of computer without any other exercising activities, fat got more and more around my belly. It’s confusing indeed, though in the end I found myself on the way to the gym or jogged in the morning.
It was five months ago when I decided to begin losing my weight; it was quite a shame for me because I had never weighed more than 150 lbs. it was also a kind of smooth start with jogging early in the morning for about 3 to 4 miles. It was tiring though; yet I was very enthusiastic in accomplishing the distance. I did it for almost every weekend, on Saturdays and Sundays. It was quite good moment and I began to enjoy it until I had to stop when my Boss sent me to another city representing him and the Company for a general forum meeting on the weekend, and the other weekend I got a little flu. After those two inactive weekends, I then got lazy to restart.
Nevertheless, I had never missed my schedule at a gym; I could do that wherever I am. Gyms are available in almost every city my country, and hotels where I stay for any meetings are also providing this service. One thing that sometimes annoys me is that when the tool, I regularly use for my abdominal exercise, is not available or being used. I did not wish to use other tools like dumbbells or what-so-call butterfly machines or something else because I don’t find any use for my target and, as a matter of fact, I don’t know how to use them. At the gym, I never exercise less than an hour; or when I had to do something urgently before an hour, I decided to continue later after all on the same day.
Now, I don’t realize that my weight is actually reduced though my stomach does not seem to change. An aerobic instructor from the gym I regularly do exercise told me that my body is dry enough. He has been helping me monitoring the progress of my activity in the gym. Actually I am not sure if I could understand with the word of ‘dry’ here but I am sure that it is a positive result of my struggle so far, and I am glad with that.
