what a success!

each morning when i woke up, i still have no idea what i am going to write in my blog. so what i have to do right after waking up is reading. after reading, i write my morning page. what i write mainly, i get the idea from what i read. if i don't read, my mind goes blank and i don't know what to write.

in my morning page, mostly i write about my day and as i have only 20-30 minutes to write, i don't add much feeling. bc if i do, i will take a longer time. so i save that for weekends. thus, what i write are just the daily thoughts, things and events. i make to-do-list for each day and bang! i run out of time.

next after writing, i run. i run from 1 mile to 5 miles. it depends on the mood and motivation of each morning. while running, i think about something else. something pleasant and it will keep my mind away from trying to get it done with running. sometimes, i plan my day while running. and after running, i came up with some ideas to write in my blog. it's bc of the adrenaline that pumps up in my little head. they are rough ideas of this and that and i piece them together when typing in my blog. and what a success! today, i ran 5 miles and didn't feel like wanting to get off the treadmill before i reached my ideal mile....

so this morning after a hot shower and daily pray, i came down with head full of ideas to write. but when turning on my computer, i found out that the screen refused to work. AGAIN!!!. i must admit that i can't write in another computer. mine only. it's just perfect for me. upon seeing the black screen, i told myself to keep calm and carry on. so i switched on other computers to check my emails and get all the printers and computers ready before the morning customers storm in. i told myself that if i didn't fix it by myself, i would have to wait until the afternoon when my cousin shows up. so, when i got less busy, i tried to unplug it and plugged it in again. bing! it worked! it was the old symptom that we have tried to figure it out and still haven't a clue. what we can do is just take the cable out and put it back in again.. tah dah!! i am happy now..

i need to write first thing after all the customers march into the school, before i start cleaning my shop bc after that i will be stuck with other works and get uninspired to write...

i get back to read this book again. i paused reading it for a few months bc i found other books that were more interesting and more fun. but i got back to this one and wanted to give it a try again. the first few chapters were slow and boring but after elizabeth moved and began her new life in italy, it was getting more fun to read. i start to like this book more and find that it is another page turner.. i am reading about her life in italy now. it was fun and funny with her style of writing.. what can i say... it intensifies my desire to visit italy more, after "when in rome" and "see naples and die" by Penelope Green.. so, i start to savor this book again.. and learn to love italy more.. this is why i love to learn the third language..
