I slip too, I err, I am human, but it is a lousy folly, that I am glad of being reminded once in a while by God--like now. I love all, from the heavens to the earth, from my mum who tries her best to the stranger who helps me, because all things on earth are perishable; they are love-worthy.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

From a speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne in 1910 by Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States.

Sleep: 8 1/2hr(will make it a point to nap more or sleep earlier)
BM: yes after concentrated consumption of senna: phase 1--a lot of gas, dumpster-like stench, phase 2--took a long time to pass out, relatively hard(could be the waste accumulated the last few days), phase 3--quick to pass out, strong contraction in the descenind colon, diarrhea-like, light brown. No sign of black substances(tiny black substnces are plaques that get stuch in a sluggish unhealthy colon)
urine: odourless
nose: blocked, passed out some mucus, poor olfactory ability( the attraction of food now resides only in the visual temptation)
skin:smooth. uppermost layer has a slippery feel and has to be shed but poor metabolism may be hampering normal shedding. underlying skin is soft and smooth. exfoliation is apropos at this time. Will be exfoliating today with The Bodyshop's "Honey and Oats 3-1 Scrub Mask", cleanse, scrub, moisturize. Bruises extensive, mostly healed.itch mild. inflammation still at elbow and knee joints.
exercise:
sunbathe:

Overall feeling: lousy because I have overworking my body the last two days. resolute to recover and come back stronger.

Incident: Attended school for the first time after months of being bed-ridden and struggle. Nervous but excited. My friend smsed me and asked how I was. He was excited to hear that I had returned to my "second home". "I feel like a dinosaur in a city. Very interesting city ppl," said I. "You were always one!:)" was the reply.

Incident: I realize how little people value their existence. It is as if the colourful life we were given were seen through black-and-white lens--sorely taken for granted. By forgetting, avoiding, neglecting, complaining, blindly pursuing, criticizing, we generate bundles of soul-consuming negative energy. I don't know exactly why I write this down but I think it is the illumination from days of bible reading that "9:24 Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win. 9:25 Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one(1Corinththians 9)". I slip too, I err, I am human, but it is a lousy folly, that I am glad of being reminded once in a while by God--like now. I love all, from the heavens to the earth, from my mum who tries her best to the stranger who helps me, because all things on earth are perishable; they are love-worthy.
