On Friday, I went to the gym and worked out again. I did 150 sit ups and then I joined the dance class again. It was a bit different from the previous one (hip hop class) and this one was called jam hop. It is more into street style and I thought this was very very challenging. I struggled since the first step of the dance. It was really hard to follow the steps of the movements. Unlike the hip hop dance, this one was much faster and confusing. Overall, I couldn't follow the steps perfectly. However I had so much fun and didn't feel embarrassed because the dance coach was really nice. He was very patient although he teaches very fast. I thought that I wanted to be a caring person like him. At the end he said that it is only my first time and the first time is always hard and confusing. He told me to keep practicing so that I can do better next week.

On the next day, Saturday, I did Tai Chi for one hour in the morning and Aikido for two hours (4-6pm). The teacher was different from the last one. For the last lesson, I had to learn the basic moves such as omote (forward) and ura (back). I had to learn how to fall, how to roll and how to defend. This one was very challenging. I tried many times but I couldn't do it perfectly. So I kept on telling my self how to do the right way but I guess I wasn't brave enough to do it. Sometimes I still struggle and afraid to fall down or break my neck. It looks really easy and simple when the trainer did it. I need to learn how to be brave. In other hand, I thought Tai Chi was easier although it was pretty tiring. My neighbors invited me to do Tai Chi with them and since I like to move my body, I joined them. It was my first time and was a new experience to me. I really enjoyed doing Tai Chi in the morning with the sunlight.

Yesterday, after I had my piano lesson, I went to the gym again in Jakarta. My purpose was to join the class again and while I was waiting, I did 150 sit ups. I thought using the materials in that gym was very easy. I could feel the muscle ache now and I thought it was very effective. After that I joined the modern dance class. This one wasn't as challenging as the class I did on Friday. This one was very easy I thought. Although the movements were easy, it became my inspiration again for my dance performance. Now, my goal is to be fit by the end of the month because I am helping with my sister's fashion show. I am helping her by becoming her model and wearing the clothes that she designed. Hopefully I will look good and make my sister proud and make feel everyone to be proud of her.
One thing I am very happy about now is that I found out that I really like energetic activities, especially dance. In my own definition, dance could be called as the mixture or combinations of sports, music and art. Since I like all of these activities, I thought dance is the best thing to do so far. Sometimes it is hard to follow or even embarrassing because I am really bad at it. But I really enjoy it and I would like to continue dance as long as possible. I also enjoy Aikido because once I do it, it makes me sweat a lot and make me feel healthy. After the last galaxy concert on May 22nd, I might want to quit the band and focus more on these activities. Hopefully I could teach someone how to dance for my service next year. During the weekend, I also bought a proper sports pants for fitness/ dance. Overall, I thought being healthy is a very thankful gift. So I wouldn't want to waste it and do everything as active as possible while I'm still young and healthy.
