After recently things had happened in my life, I've feel blessed that my passion of running is purely mine. I didn't share it with any other people. I don't depending on other people to run. I can just run whenever I feel too.
Commitment is something you have to gain for. It isn't hard to have but yet it isn't easy when you really expect them to. Your high expectation won't help you when they always letting you down. Frustration.... that's what I feel right now. One thing I've learned through this experience is that never trust people when you desperately want to. It is very deceiving though.
When you giving out with all your heart for other people's sake.... when you sacrifice in hoping they appreciate them....when you burning your soul & dignity for something you believing in to, they will eat you alive without mercy. And they are so cruel now and before.
I feel running soothe you down second to your prayer to almighty Allah for help. You run for nobody other than yourself. I can ignore whatever happened around me. I can be selfish towards innocent people. But somehow deep inside my mother instinct, I can't just quit doing for other people. I tried not to let because of one fly, you ruined the whole meal.
That's life some people says. They are not always sweet all the time but they can be sour in time. But commitment to me is very important in life. If you have that, you can conquer the world. Don't take for granted on people when you don't have commitment towards them in the first place. Don't give them a false promised because it can happened to you in return. I can promised you that...

Justified!!
I received an SMS from my gym center (which is already almost 2 years of joining but very rare went there) two days ago regarding my outstanding payment for last month. Oh well, this is my second time with similar fault and once again it make my butt sweat.
I hate when I have to go to that center just to settle the bill. I just hate to go to that center even for my workout. I didn't feel I belong there. I've tried to adjust myself, make it comfortable for me as possible. Trying to make friends with other trainees & trainers. They were like faking and I don't feel right. Instead of feeling eager to workout, I felt lazy to oblige my responsibility towards my credit card expenses on that gym. I've wasted my 2 years membership. When you accumulated the fees, you could by a nice treadmill for yourself.
The reason why they can't make payment instruction from my credit card as usual is that I've recently change my credit card to new one. It is because there's a breach information of my card and it is not secure for anybody with that information which can make payment transaction without my consent. And I didn't inform them (the gym center) about the new number. And I didn't care, until now...
So, with hesitation, I went there with my hubby. All along the way, he kept nagging of my wasted time & money on that gym which I just kept quiet. Well, It is my fault but it's a lesson for all too. He asked me to devote my time and energy to that gym since I've paid for it. And still I've kept my mouth shut. I just couldn't do what he asked me too. I don't know why exactly I'd joined the gym in the first place. But I guess that was the power of their marketing hypnotize me at that time. And it is a long story...
Bravely, I went inside the gym, went to the counter with unfamiliar face, again, to explain my reason of coming. Luckily they make as nothing a big deal about it and trying to help solving my problem. They are very friendly (because that is their work etique) and smile all the way.
I realized that my contract end with less than 4 months. So I decided to end my contract immediately with only to make the last 3 months payment with my credit card. They also helped to fill the form of requesting to end contract. I felt at ease with all that was going around me. I've settled all matters with all the copy documents are in my hand too. I don't have to give them my new credit card number and I don't have to come again to the center just to pay my monthly bills if I decided not to give the card number. Everything settled and then I popped my long awaiting question since 1 year and 8 months ago...
I've asked the friendly guy regarding my welcoming gifts which I didn't received when I've signed the contract almost 2 years ago. The gifts consist a workout bag with a tumbler and towels. He was quite surprised because I've never received any of them. That was because I've asked once from other person a long time ago with replied no stocks yet. Then I never asked again since I've never step my foot in that center again until now.
He, still with smile on his face, explained to me that they stopped making that stocks anymore and change to another kind of gifts with are vouchers or before that a tote bag. He happily presented me those vouchers which I took them with wary smile. I think he noticed them so he tried to check in the storeroom to find if there are any left the said stocks. Fortunate me, he asked me to join him to the storeroom where he found the bag that I wanted it so much. He even asked me to make a choice between the tote bag or the workout bag with a tumbler and two pieces of towels in it. Of course I make my right decision which is the workout bag that is supposed to belong to me 2 years ago. I am so happy!!
Since that was a secret between me & him because nobody in that gym supposed to know about it or otherwise the other members would like to have them too. I've secretly walkout from that storeroom trying to hid the bag which is impossible but luckily nobody see me and the bag out of the gym. I said thank you again to my new friend with big smile and I can see that he was also very glad to be able to help me which nobody can helped me before.
I felt satisfied with my achievement that day. I felt it is justified after all those waste of money paying the gym with finally getting the bag and all stuffs in it at the end of my contract. I know that it wasn't the same with the price but what the heck! I've got more than I anticipate with, the bag and the vouchers too!! I think I get my revenge!! hahahaha!!!!
