Firstly, happy International Women’s day. I am a woman. Happy me (?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, it’s raining once more. Sheesh, I keep writing about the rain but last weekend. Upon a Sunday, it was raining so heavily and the Saturday night prior, I was watching a Malaysian movie called Imaginur (it’s really good and feels, if you have the opportunity to watch it, go for it!) and went home around 11pm or so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was considered ‘late’ to me but to wake up in the morning of a rainy Sunday at 8am, I went “Meh…” because I had booked a session at the Gympod. Instead of letting the slot go because I do know the ‘balance’ of is it worth wasting your money or your time, I checked and I could swap the time around to evening instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I gave up, I would have just not gone to my gym session, instead I made the effort to at least swap it to a different time but still do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which worked because it rained much heavier after I swapped the booking while in bed and it would have been horrible to travel all the way to the specific gym location I go to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, AUGH I could have just given up. Yet I didn’t. Which is totally different from quitting or knowing when to stop and restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For one thing, I always “stop” and not go to events or exercise sessions or training sessions if I’m not feeling good that day. It’s totally a different feeling and it’s a NO don’t do it because in general, I would also have to be considerate and think about the safety in others. If I’m not feeling good, it’s not safe to continue, thus try another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But giving up is different in my<\/strong> definition. There’s a sense of “You can do it but you choose not to because you just don’t wanna” for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then there’s quitting, quitting because I know something is not going to work out and that should be ‘quick’ because that means I’ll try ANOTHER way. It’s a cut losses, you know this won’t work so let’s find an alternative method because… we aren’t giving up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So are you the type that gives up, do the stop and restart or quit and find a different method kind of person?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, it’s annoying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the reasons I keep on training is not the adults, no no. It’s ESPECIALLY the children. Like thanks. If they want to keep seeing me in a ring or stage and such, well. I can’t disappoint them<\/em> can I? They are highly likely not able to read my blogposts or social media stuff but they’ll be able to pop up whenever their parents bring them along. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And if it’s just for the one kid or whomever that says, I wanna see you there or gets all “GASP!! It’s a girl!” like Anya from SpyXFamily all excited with her Waku waku-s…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then sheeesh, I got to work on for it, won’t I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Song of this post recommendation, listen to Tuyu’s song.
