Ivana Atmojo

Can’t believe it’s been nearly a month after my last post! Don’t leave me yet, people I’ll still be writing.

Things have been pretty crazy at our end, as we work towards the completion of our school. There are many many details to be taken care of, many decisions to be made, and many important matters to be handled. I’m having a great time though! Just standing on our school site really gave me a thrill!! This is our dream we’re building! And I could definitely feel the adrenaline rush in my blood, just imagining how much joy we could share with other people when our school is up and running!

When the time comes, I’ll let you know more. For now, I’ll have to spare you the details. I don’t want to jinx it

Anyways…Remember when I said that I wanted to work out more regularly? I’m glad that I’ve officially left the old lazy-bump Ivana behind! I’ve really managed to make exercise a part of my daily regimen. Everyday, I run 5K in the morning, and 5K in the evening. I don’t think about it anymore, I just do it! No IFs, ANDs, or BUTs! I’m also back to my tennis, swimming, and even managed to play badminton (in my stupid tennis style) every Sunday! I’m thinking of getting a mountain-bike now. Well, variety is good, right?

It feels great to be doing some sort of sport every day, even if we’re still struggling (mentally or physically). But the fact that we’ve set a target to ourselves, stretched our limit breath by breath, encouraged ourselves everytime we almost gave up, and finally achieved what we’ve set out to do, really does make us feel good about ourselves. And that’s a positive way to start our day!

For those of you who’ve strayed away from ‘exercising regularly’, as you might have put it in your new year resolution..well, it’s not too late yet to start!
