Exercising
(1) 17:23 I'm finally working on my USP application essay. =.=; I'm such a procrastinator. I tried not to, I swear, but the topic was so damned hard to come up with, and I'm depending on sheer perseverance alone (i.e. forcing myself to sit in front of the computer with MS Word in front of me, resisting the temptation to click on Media Player Classic so I can watch my twdramas...), but it seems I have failed anyway, because I have momentarily "taken a break" (aka "admitted defeat") after writing one paragraph of utter crap.

I am debating on whether to get an external HDD. I looked at one at PK Computer. They're having an offer, apparently, and an 80GB HDD is $130. I can afford that. But I was wondering if I should get something bigger. 100GB? 120? I suppose I'm willing to part with up to $200 for it, but I'm not sure if I actually need that much space. But as I was telling Weiqi, no matter how much space you get, it's never going to be enough. xD

Oh, I've been exercising regularly lately. That has been one resolution I've been trying to fulfil since the beginning of this year. Seems like I'm 3 months late, but who cares. Well I've only actually gone for a jog outdoors once, but I plan to go tomorrow morning as well. I've spent the rest of the days jumping rope. I'm doing about a 1000 jumps at a go right now, but I plan to double that in the next couple of days.

As you can tell, I'm trying to lose weight. You see, I bought a new pair of jeans, and I can barely fit into them and it's kind of depressing. I mean sure, I can wear them, but not without much effort, and even then, my stomach kind of spills over the edge and it's icky. >.< Not to mention that it's uncomfortable as well. But the jeans are really nice (and expensive...), so I thought it would serve as a good motivation for me to start exercising. And it worked!
