Plans for upgrading lifestyle!

-
While I tend not to worry too much about celebrities and their lives, for a couple of weeks I've been following Marzia's Vlogs on YouTube. She's Felix's (Pewdiepie) fiancé. I had been following Pewdiepie for about two months now, so I was already familiar with both of them and love being inspired by parts of their lives.

I love seeing people living happy and fun lives. It always inspires me to change myself. So I promised myself a couple of things today:

  1. Start running every morning. Start with the treadmill at the gym.
  2. Eat healthier and avoid eating too much.
  3. Save money as much as possible. Cut down online payments, drinking, cabs etc.
  4. Stop smoking.
  5. Keep this journal.
  6. Make some money off drawing (real and digital).
I had been at the hospital for a week about a month and a half ago. When I was recovering from dengue, a friend I hang out and used to drink with suggested I give up smoking and start living healthier. He leads by example. I said I'd do it, but got back to the old ways pretty fast.

This is why actually seeing parts of other happy people's lives helps me remind myself how I want my life to be and how to go about it.

So hoping to hit the gym early in the morning tomorrow.

On a different note, kinda totally broke at the moment, but guess I'll take a small loan from a couple of friends and manage till the Friday (salary day!). Got a couple of events I need to save for, including a wedding. Also, mom could use some money for her medicine. I'm quite behind on my credit card payments too.

This issue with money has been running for a long time before I took a couple of loans to buy myself a MacBook Pro, and paying these loans and credit-cards has set me back a couple of hundred-thousands. Still, I never regretted buying this Mac.

Well, I think I could help myself by doing some paintings and stuff, but not sure if anyone would wanna buy them 😁 I mean, look at this portrait I did with charcoal. It's supposed to be Taylor Swift, but the eyes are all wrong. To be fair though, I had only started trying out charcoal.


Last night I went through a lot of very old posts on my Facebook and came across a couple of small sketches I did with pencils. I'll put up just the most flattering one. 😅


Night!

Drinks, best friends, chocolate. (drunk writing)

I'm so drunk right now. I'm usually pretty good with the keyboard, but tonight I had to retype every word on this post: literally. Some words, even more than twice. But I made a promise to you and myself. I'll keep it no matter what. So today (again) I couldn't go running. My close friends were meeting up for drinks. So I dragged another in that group, my first friend in it, to it. The resistance was minimal, so I will take no blame for it. We had a lot of drinks (and cigarettes). I loved our time together. This set of friends are awesome. One of my friend's wife, a close friend of mine herself, gave me a notebook she gave, as well as half a chocolate bar I gave them. I will keep that half for desperate  times (i.e, when I'm too broke to buy a meal). A friend advised me not to be too overconfident, which, admittedly I can be. I hope to work on that. I really do have a huge ego. I have delved a lot in technical stuff and tend to think of myself as a "sta...

Finances, Cortana, Friends

I missed the gym today (despite what I promised myself). Woke up early enough, but felt too tired: not sleepy, tired. So slept on and went to work around the usual time. 😕😔 Didn't smoke at work. Work went pretty good. Helped a friend work with the Cortana API. Also discussed with more friends on starting an internal (but publicly open) API/platform thingy with similar stuff. Money is a big issue. A close friend agreed to give me a small loan (on top of a couple more small loans I took from other friends) and he's coming around in a bit. A friend shared a small packet of ramen noodles with me. Need to pay the electricity bill. Hopefully, I'll manage. Collected money from other friends in the boarding. Tomorrow, a brother-in-law of a close friend is going back to Germany, and we're meeting up to have a drink. By we, I mean more friends. Promised to talk to someone about a project, but didn't call yet. Not sure what rates to tell them. We'll see how thin...
