I really hate how my parents can be so strict sometimes. There are times where I understand their being strict. I get the picture that yes, they are just thinking about my safety. Whenever we have after-school cheering practices, it usually ends at 8, and I usually do not go since I have to be home by 7:30. Traffic begins to go bad at around 6 so it’s either I go and leave at 6 or don’t go at all. And, what can an hour of practice do? Stretching, jumps and stunts? But what about the routine, which is basically the most important one of all? So I ditch those after-school practices and just catch up on the weekends (which I successfully do 
).
Now, that scenario I understand. I get their point that it’s dangerous for me, a student, to still be out at a late hour. However, there are just times when it goes berserk. After a competition, I was staying at my friend’s house. It was around 7 that we got home and we ate a little dinner, and I fell asleep on her bed. I woke up at around 8:30 with my mom on the phone yelling at me to go home. It was already late and my mom’s friend said that I could just sleep over since it wouldn’t be safe to take the public transportation alone at such time. I asked my mom if I could sleep over and she said no. 
What the fuck happened to being home by 7:30 because it’s unsafe for me to be out later than that?!
I know this post is all over the place, but I just had to rant it out.

Seeing that I was still packing a few holiday pounds, I decided to exercise today (and when I say exercise, I mean cheer). I thought “Ok, I think 30 minutes today and this belly will be gone” since it always DID take me 30 minutes worth of cheering to burn just a couple of extra unwanted pounds. I outlined the first routine I was gonna do in my head and immediately get to it. The sooner the better, right?
I finish the first 5-minute routine and I was exhausted. I take a 2-minute break and go to the next 5-minute routine I planned. About halfway into it, I grew tired again so I decided to take another rest. I resume into doing the second 5-minute routine and when I finished it, I couldn’t bear to even think about what I was gonna do next. My arms hurt and my lungs were stinging.
I didn’t even realize that I was so badly out of shape. Last time I exercised (in my context of course) was during the end of November, for this yearly competition we had. After that, I guess I just forgot to get back into it. I was really worried because I used to do these 30-minute cheering thing just for fun, and now I couldn’t even survive through half of it without collapsing. So, to make myself healthy again, I promised to do at least 20-minute exercises everyday, and if I had the time, run the treadmill this weekend.
What about you guys? Do you guys exercise regularly? If so, what’s your schedule and what are the things you do?

I recently found out about the 12 of 12 Project. If ever you’ve heard of the 365 Project, this is somewhat similar. Basically, you have to take 12 photos every 12th day of each month. I originally planned to do a 365, but who am I kidding? With my busy schedule whatnot, I barely have time to conceptualize a picture for the day, so I thought that this would be a very nice compromise. Anyway, without further ado, here are the first set of my 12 of 12.
