Memelihara Nikmat Terbaik

Always . . . repeating as it does . . yet I seem to fail to learn and stand up again . . . this condition surely shows my ineptness and disregard to live up and guard my health . . . one things that has been constantly laggin my daily activities.

I’ve really wondered what keeps me behind in terms of health and stamina. Memory brings me back to around my high school days. It seems that I always get a streak of common cold every once a year. Things go worse for me on my college years. My bronchitis suddenly went on a rampage, striking me even more every year, limping me as I struggle on to keep up with my studies and my body.

I remember, it was around the end of my bachelor times that I finally got he guts to have some time of my own to start of some joggin session. Though it started slow, I managed to pile it up with some body building and more physical sessions. Even though it all seemed to not have an effect to my outer appearance of my body, I felt the subtle change that my stamina did seem to last a bit longer. Little that I realized that I still had to add em up with a better eating diet. But these enlightenment had to wait till my times down under.

Down under, some way or another, I thought I had to do somethin to keep my health top notch. Otherwise, I might be ending myself frequently visiting the health service center and my local drugstore for being occupied by endless sickness. Lucky enough, my schedules and the meals really did support me to have a better physical exercise and diet. Things finally did show results at the end of my first semester, I really did see a physical difference on my body. Furthermore, I also sensed myself being healthier than before, despite having a common cold once that semester.

Then again, what made my physical appearance and health change was the fact that mos of my times were filled up with physical activities, namely my work in the butcher and cycling everywhere wih ma bike. With all this during the next 1,5 years later on, I guess that what made my health pretty much in top notch condition through out my years down under. Add’em up with meals that seem to have lesser fat and more protein, I seem to enjoy myself for being in my prime time.

Anyway, all good things must come to an end. So does my time there. Then again, I didn't have to wait long to get sick soon as I was suddenly struck with a diarrhea days after I landed in Jakarta. Done with that, I thought to keep my body in shape by exercising every day til also fill up my days waiting for a definite job to come. One thing that I noticed, even though I seem to keep up with my exercise regime, my body was slowly gaining weight. I guess thats all coz of the meal intake here in Indo as they obviously are more dense in fat and cholesterol.

With the coming of a definite job, my heart was once again at ease. But then again, it was another start of a roller coaster as I started to maintain my health and start of a binge eating at the training site. Coupled with the lack of proper exercise and spartaneous work loads when deployment came, I finally succumbed to typhoid symptom >.< . The first in the last 3 years, this really stroke me hard. Ever since, I started to think about how I should properly keep up with my health as the workload seem to be never ending spartaneous.

But then, new deployment comes, and there I go . . . back to square one again. This time, I’ve been already struck with double absent ism due to common cold. In terms of the illness, it’s a better thing since its just a common cold compared to the previous. But in terms of health, I’m not progressing. With the upcoming works and deployments still unknown, I’ve gotta start off proving that I don’t seem wimpy and weak. Something must be DONE !!!

Hence, my mind has been pretty much occupied with ideas and concrete brainstorming on how to mitigate such things to happen again. Till now, I’ve come up with some sort of personal doctrine, which involves the need to keep up with my exercise and maintain it with proper supplements as well maintaining a balanced diet. As for supplements, I guess a twice a day intake of honey with be a must, a daily intake of milk and multivtamins at the morning and ginger aile with eucalyptus ointment when nite falls. Most of all, I really gotta start setting myself to do some daily workouts. At first, I guess I’m gonna start of low by walking round the apartment. I’m also thinking to buy a bike, But I guess that’s gonna wait till my monies allow me to do so.

As for now, I’lbetter get myself in goo shape ASAP as I’ve only 1 more day to recover before returning to the hell of office work. Jya ne . . . .

Draggin ma feet

Just realized it’s been almost a month since the last time I wrote somethin. My guess was around before Eid. If that’s so then gotta say Happy Eid Mubarak (masih sempet ngga’ ya :P ?). A month . . a whole lot of things have passed . . . its just a few weeks ago . . . but already seemed like a year ago.

I guess I’ll pick up before Eid. The aura in the office was already full of vacation leave. Luckily transactions followed suit around those days, so we were pretty much left with plenty of time to enjoy work. It was also during these times that we finally could go home on time !! :D. As we were meant to go home on 16.30, reality really bites for not able to do so. Thanks to the japs that really make life hard for socializing . . . .

Though it was a happy time that I could finally enjoy my Eid @ home after 2 years doing it abroad, the sensation was already different. I now had to do it in time constraints as collective leave was only given for 5 days. That equates to 4 days to me since I had to go back earlier due to the unluckiness of getting a ticket a day quicker than supposed to be. Though short, I just had to make the best of things, from seeing relatives to my girl.

My free day in Jakarta had to be filled up properly. But the word “properly” still means I have to do some left over home chores. So . . . before lingering round the city alone, some washing & cleaning had to be settled first. Cruising round the city, it sure was pleasant to enjoy the roads of Jakarta when most of its citizens are on leave to their home/ancestral towns. Wished things were always like this . . . .

But work called and there I was back again on my desk. This time, my final week in the FRD. Though things were still slow due to the vacation, I had to patch things up for my upcoming presentation and the transition to the next department. All those rounds of things really left my body kinda low on blood. Literally, I was already starting to drag my body around.

The next week, I was already on the credit service department. And as my previous mentor said, It’s not about the quantity here . . . it’s more on the quality side. The work gets more and more tedious with piles of paper work to finish of each every end of the day. There was almost one day that I even really felt I was literally already drowning inside the papers :-S.

With a shortage of workers and the rising pile of workload due to EoM . . . . . things were really gettin worst. I really made one cancellation and caused another one for my workmate. Not a really good thing to do while I’m still starting to get myself settled in the new dept. But really . . . . . with all those + the lack of proper health and stamina, working lately has really been a bloody struggle for me. Going back home really means just laying my back on the bed as I almost have literally no energy at all to do something worthwhile . . . Life has been degraded to just waiting for weekend to come and catch up with the missed sleep that have passed.

As things would still continue on . . . . with worsen conditions to expect, guess the only thing left is to drag my feet quicker and quicker to catch up with the pace of others . . . . . . . . .
