Exercise Progress D-1

My Journal for my exercising practices.

It’s a new year and many people have already started working on accomplishing their new year’s resolutions. I have tried for a few years to keep my resolutions with little to no accomplishment. This year I decided to make resolutions that I know need to be addressed instead of making a list that’ll make me cringe……..never again.

[I will most likely make a proper New Year’s greeting post by the end of this week…….if I’m in the mood :p]

On my small but significant resolution list is to regulate and stay consistent to a healthy living lifestyle.

Life is a blessing and I want to care for the body that I was blessed with. It is also the temple of the Lord and He wants us to care for it, spiritually and physically. The Lord Jesus blessed me with all my body parts that still work as they should and I don’t want to take that for granted.

Today began the start of accomplishing that goal that will forever affect my life in the future to come. I am a very petite young woman (looks real young for her age ;) ) but that does not mean that I’m healthy and fit. Size is not the only factor in living a healthy life and experiencing the benefits of such living. I have my mom backing me up (more like harassing me to exercise and such……..I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!! MUAH!!!), and with her encouragement I know I can make it.

So from today I will be documenting and charting my progress to my small/tiny body in shape and see how it affects different aspects of my life.

Hope I can be of some help to someone who is passing by my blog.

2015!!

Jasmine 10:32 PM Personal , 0 Comments

2015 is just under 2 hours away.

There has been so many events in 2014 that it has become a year I doubt I'll never forget.

This is just a pre-note for my New Years note that will come after midnight but I just wanted to say that as long as you're alive there is always hope as you are not alone.

There's a Creator longing for you to finally open up to Him. It just takes that one moment for your life to change forever.

The ending of 2014 is just that....the end of ONE YEAR and the BEGINNING of another.

There is hope and salvation.

Never give up.

Till 2015, take care and God bless.

Sera Ryu has graduated from Nine Muses (9 Muses)

Jasmine 7:51 PM K-Pop Related! , 0 Comments

[THIS ENTRY IS TAKEN FROM MY GOOGLE PLUS ACCOUNT. ORIGINAL ENTRY DATE JUNE 24th 2014. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL ENTRY.]

My ultimate bias in the entire K-Pop industry, Sera of Nine Muses, is "graduating" or leaving the group and company, Star Empire Entertainment, now that her contract has expired.

Honestly I am not hurt, heartbroken nor upset at her decision. I am actually thrilled as it was something I was hoping for quite awhile. I have been following Nine Muses since their single "Ladies" and it wasn't until I saw their BBC documentary "9 Muses of Star Empire" that I fell for the group. Mainly falling for Sera as her passion and love for music and performance made it hard for me not to start admiring her. The documentary was an eye opener for me (who at the time was still a 2 year k-pop newbie) as it showed the reality of the K-Pop industry which they try to hide it under all the glitz and glamour of the stage, use tactics to draw the audiences attention away from the cons of the industry or just plain be in denial about.

Sera has gone through a lot during her time with Nine Muses (members backstabbing her, being slapped and degraded [other members as well] by her boss in plain view, etc) but the most important thing was her growth over these 3-4 years. She has her own personal YouTube channel called "Sera Ryu"(which I obviously subscribed to the minute I found out about its' existence) where she posts videos of covers, self compositions, and more. Over the past month or so since I subscribed, her followers went up by more than 1000. Her channel shows us what's she's interested in, musically and otherwise, and it made me see that she's found what she wants to do with her passion. I see a lot of experimenting and I think she's loving the challenge and connecting with her fans.

Thorugh all the hardships and member changes, Nine Muses continued to gain ground, fans and popularity with their songs, personas and passion. Digital single "Glue" is the last single for former members Eunji, Lee Sem and Sera (last image).
