Dreaming Outloud.

Do you ever have this kind of feeling that you want it so bad you can't do anything (even eat or  study) but thinking about it all day long? That's my problem now. I love fitness, I do it almost everyday but I have this one passion, strong one, even stronger than my true love towards fitness, **cewahh which is to be a businesswoman. I'm swear to god if I didn't go into medical field I'll take business or something like business field, financial and stuff, well, I don't know much. 

The point is I want to be a businesswoman so freaking bad I don't know why. Maybe since I were in the secondary school I've involved a lot in jualan mingguan, sold everything from the persatuan and stuff. Maybe? I don't know where this spirit came from. I read books about business thingy, articles and a lot of experiences from the businessman/woman and entrepreneurs on earth that makes me really want to be like them. So bad.

I just can't get over this, not yet. 

So, I need to get back to the reality, I am a student, still. I have to focus hard on my study. The worst part is I have an exam soon, really soon I didn't study anything, yet (cekik myself). Sorry mom if you read this, sometimes I've been so lazy I could sleep all day long until my friend will trying to wake me up and said meera are you died? 

Indeed, you can dream anything guys, even you can dream to be a prime minister one day, it's not wrong, AT ALL. But for this moment I have a bigger 'task' to finish first which is study and pass this medical course *yawn* 

Dont get me wrong, I loveeeee to be a doctor but you know, there's bitch in me that keep telling me that to be a businesswoman is more fancy than to be a doctor, LOL.

Thanks guys for reading, and now I'm relieved.

:)

Hello again !

It's been a quite long time I didn't post anything in my blog, being a 6th years medical student is quite challenging for me, no time to do this and that, especially to update my blog and be like a normal blogger, writing about their daily activities, hobbies and stuff. A thousand sorry for that!

A lot things I want to update actually, one of the most fun part is workout of the year ! It's easy peasy guys and I'm promise it's work ! Particularly on me, hopefully it's work on you too ! click here ! Yeah it's yoga, for loosing weight. I really sweat like a pig when I do this routine *fats crying yayy*. It also make me feel refreshing and brings me some kind of positive vibes, really. I do this routine 2 to 3 times per week. It is more than enough and the most important thing is I love doing it so much.

The next thing is about my winter breaks last month. I went to Netherlands and Belgium, for a week. It was magnificently fun and I couldn't describe it even more. Here is some pictures of my friends and I along our trip, enjoy !

Amsterdam

Belgium.

I fall in love with these countries and I'll come again later, InsyaAllah.

Love, Meera, Miza, Mia and Esan.

Beauty and the Beast

Hello folks! its been a while right? I cant exactly brain what happened to me but the minute I finished my exam yet I find myself waking up early again for class! All hail med school ! Anyway glad the storm of non stop exam has passed. Have all the reasons the smile again cause I can literally pin myself to those beloved routines. Ahh the good days!

Everyone knows the story, its the story where we were put to sleep. The story of the unimaginable irony where an ugly dude gets to hang out with the beauty pigeon. Even better they got married. I wont tell the story twice. Its only the idea that we need. How do you create the version of beauty from your 'beast' version or monster shall I say? blimey!

 

The journey isn't that easy. It literally takes everything. Times, sweat, sleep, comfy couch, chocolate molten lava ice cream, red velvet cupcakes damn it. However guys, you can still have a pleasant life. It just requires effort, some research and hell yeah commitment. Let me show you the beast version of me so all of you ladies and gents actually know that I mean serious business.




1st year wasn't so memorable innit

The ugly truth is in fact our modern society only accepts beauty unfortunately. So, its more likely I say CHANGE and UPDATE yourself. When? NOW. Don't wait for the condition to get tiny miny better cause it wont. Get off the couch and run. I did and I'm not stopping anytime soon cause I'm enjoying every bits of it. Halting will only invite nightmares.

 

Once you have the gut, go with it. Yes it takes time but trust me your 'beauty' version will stroll around confidently mind- blowing people. Yes, you are smoking hot now. Beauties cannot be afraid to separate themselves from the crowd. The effort they put into living the best life they can comes with a reward that many others will never receive: The accomplishment of that goal.

Start and inspire! xx



3rd year!




Up and running

Runners

Hi everyone! It's been a quite long time since the last time I posted my blog. The truth is I have no time to write because my schedule for 6th year is so tight, even I forgot to see my dentist for regular braces check up, already 2 days past. Sigh, God bless me.

 Luckily, the subjects for this year are quite fun, which are surgery, obstetric and gynecology plus two Islamic subjects, Aqidah and Sirah. I love surgery! It makes me feel like I am the true doctor. I want to be a surgeon so bad when I was in my first year, but then,  after thinking deeply, I better choose to be a dermatologist rather than to be a surgeon because it is easier and less risk? bolehlaa, either way, I really want to be a specialist one day, Ameen.

For the past 1 week of my new semester, my regular routine workout has been a yoga and also an ABS workout. I do it like once in every 2 days because I have a lot of things to be settled down, like visa and stuff. Plus, my class started at 7.30 freaking a.m. until 3 p.m. with no gap in between and Friday is the only free day that I have. Phewww, I want sushi.

So, since I have a very limited time to do workout for this year, I try to find an easy routine and finally I found this which is the combination of yoga and pilates with a few minutes of full body stretching! click this. It is so relaxing and easy, you guys should try this too. Especially for those who's having a back pain and stressful lifestyle like students and doctors. Lol, just kidding.  

This morning I joined Cairo's runners event which be held in Zamalek, which is the weekly event for every Friday morning. Since Friday is my 'sleep day' so usually I didnt join this event, but this morning I have the urge to do cardio (jogging) because I had left my cardio routine for more than 1 week. They named it as ' We Run Cairo' and today's their second anniversaries, so they made a theme of 'color run' for celebration. All of the candidates are fit and looks healthy including the elders, hands down. Apparently this is my first time to join this kind of event and it was a precious new experience for me because it was so fun, really!

Those are some pictures of  my friends and I after the running.

..and this is me with Dr. Mohamed Sawwy. Founder of  Sawwy's Culture Wheel, the place where they've been held this event for every weeks. He's so fit guys because of the first 2 km I ran closely behind him and then of course he left me because he's too fast while I am too pancit (exhausted) to run as fast as him.

 Sigh, shame on you Ameera.

Until next time!

That tiny lil' fear..

When I woke up this morning, out of the blue, I got a text message from my close friend, she's thin and tall. She asked me about a very common question that people always asked me, it's about eating habits. This is some of the common questions that I always been asked :

How to control your eating habits?

How could you survive by not eating at night? Some of my friends told me that they're the hungriest person ever at night.

How do you control your sugar crave?

How do you not to love foods Ameera? I love food guys, I am human remember?

How do you keep your spirits high and routinely do workout?

First and foremost, I didn't expect I will get a question from thin person like her, but you know women nowadays eager to look thin and when it comes to 1 additional kg, it does mean that we need to do something about this 1 kg of weight. Sounds crazy, but that's really happening to women nowadays, most of us I believe. I think that fear is good. Most of the fat people didn't have this kind of fear, that's why.

So I told my friend that I eat right. When I said I eat right, it means I eat healthy food, in the right time, in the right amount, in the right portion and by using the right hand. Okay the last one is not the necessary tips, but as Muslims we use right hand to eat, it's Sunnah! By the right amount I mean is, I eat in small portion like 3/4 of the medium sized plate and I will stop eating immediately when I am full.

Then I explained about the foods I eat, basically I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, not a lot like two or three times per day, it's like a lot A LOT LOT (1 kg of oranges I can finish in 2 days, and like 1 kg of bananas I can finish them like two or three days with eating an apple every day) So some people asked me about snacks I took daily, then simply I answer, fruits.

I eat rice like almost every day, I am Asian so rice is our staple food. Asian can't live without rice, but I didn't eat rice at night. It means after 7 to 8 p.m. When I am hungry, I preferred to eat fruits, crackers, whole gained bread or just drink a glass of milk. It makes you feel not hungry, but not full. Better than starving. At least you didn't die right? Okay, joking.

Yes, undeniably, at the beginning you will feel that you're going to die starving at night, but trust me, after 21 days it will become your habit. Yeah, quite long, but the benefits are worth for a lifetime. Hold your horses guys, trust me, it does work. Your mind will get used to it and your mind will tell your stomach that you are not hungry and no food needed at this moment. 

Next, I told her about not eating sugary food every day, it is so dangerous since sugar can lead to cancer, diabetes mellitus, or even obesity. Sugar is the major problem to most of us since every food that have a lot of sugar in it like cakes, apam balik, cendol, strawberry milkshake are finger-lickin good right? Hands down.

 It is hard to avoid eating sugar Ameera do you understand me? Yes, I do.

I have this one friend that having a sweet tooth like almost every single day, she's fat. So I advise her to stop eating sugary food and she loses almost 10 kg guys within 3 months, trust me. Once you make it as your routine, it will become your habit. Try to avoid sugar, not totally stop eating it, but slowly reducing your amount of consumption is more than enough.

The next thing I tell her about the workout, for sure. She used to jog almost every day when she is studying in University, but now she has finished her studies and she has no time to jogging like she used to do. So that's the major factor too, not doing exercises. So I advise her to do a cardio workout at home, not too long just 15 minutes is more than enough, I always do this workout guys, check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HJcmTCKGqY  . This is an intense cardio workout yet so effective. Every time I did this workout I will perspiring a lot. It means that it does work! For those who are so busy with works, studies and stuff, try to do the short, intense workout it helps to lose weight, for sure, to increase metabolism, to make you sweat and it makes you feel overbold! Especially for those who are always feel jaded like all the time, yes, this is the answer. 

That's it! Nothing is going overboard, everything is so basic and super easy. It depends on you whether you want to do it or not. Hopefully this very humble tippytoes of mine are helpful for my friend and for all of my readers too! Thanks for reading until the end :)

Oh by the way, today I didn't do any workout because I have to finalise my visa for this year a.k.a my final year. I get so excited, can't wait to finish my studies. Now I need a very deep sleep for my routine workout tomorrow and for a better day! hehe. Life is so amazing when we do not have any commitment in it, like to study every day, to go to work or to settle some assignments and the topper is when you're on holiday! It feels like AHHHHHHHH...

This picture was taken when I'm in Rome. This place is so amazing, it is called  The Circus Maximus.  I miss Rome so bad. 

Only God knows how much I love the holiday! Until next time!

Merdeka (Independent) day for me !

Now listening : selah sue - fyah fyah 

It's always been my favourite song since ever.

 Hello guys! So finally I've finished my final exam! It was like the best feeling everrrr. Hopefully my doctors LOVE my answers and they can give me high marks, ameen. Pray for me guys. This year is so long for me as it took one year and a half to finish it. It's been my second winter and I just finished my semester, does it take too long? Yes, definitely it does. Hands down. So I have another 1 year to finish my studies. I can't wait! Oh, by the way, medical course in Egypt  took 6th years of studies not as in Malaysia and I believe most of the countries too, that need 5 years to finish medical school. I don't know how does the system runs, but I am pretty sure that I don't care about it and I enjoyed every bit of my day studying in Egypt since it's been five years I'm living here, I think that Egypt is a pretty exotic country, really. 

So, as I've told you in my previous post that I'll start back my routine workout, and thus today is the day, the best day ever. I miss doing the workout so bad even I've lost almost 70% of my stamina but who cares. I need to get back in shape. I did intense cardio today because my fat seems already took over my muscles which is so not cool. It took only 30 minutes because I can't proceed it anymore, how sad it was haha. I believe that it's normal for all of us too, for those who had left the workout for so long, or for those who just about to start workout/ exercises/ aerobic / zumba and etc. Yes it's so difficult to start especially for the first time. First time is usually the hardest, trust me. It's like you have to wake up so sudden while you're in deep sleep. Yeah, pretty hard though.

This morning after I woke up, I knew that I have to workout and I felt so lazy like I am the laziest person on earth to get off my bed. That's post-examination syndrome I believe. So how could I get the strength to do my routine?  As you know, I love watching the models, fashion show, pretty celebrities and stuff. So I decided to watch Victoria Secret's commercial this morning, I picked up randomly in YouTube and watched all the commercials even though I'd watched them like almost 10 times. So as usual, a person like me is so easily get affected by the model's body and stuff, so that goes my motivational strength. Yeah, it sounds easy right, just let me watch models or scroll their pictures in instagram, later on I will workout like a beast. So you can try it too. You can search any models that you love like Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes or even Natalia Vosianova, they are inspiring much despite of they're already have kids but still they look smoking hot. Like what?

Doutzen Kroes, mom of two. 

Let's forget about the models shall we? We are not them, we have our own story and our own life right? But it's not wrong to look up for them if you need strength like I did and hopefully it'll work for you too. The most important things is you yourself. Your willingness to do it or not to do it. To stay fit and to lose weight. To commit with regular exercises and to eat healthy. As I said previously, it's always the hardest when it goes to the ' first time' but trust me it'll get easier when you do it repeatedly.

So, dear reader, there goes my post examination day. I also did some cleaning because you know books are everywhere and so did the dust. I am so happy that I've finished my fifth year and I have 7 days of semester break then my final year will get started. Yes 7 days holiday. Sleep is my priority now as I've lost hours of my sleep since last month. The bed looks 10 times more attractive than before. I guess I need to sleep now. So guys, hope you too have a great weekend and a great holiday! Do not forget to stay active and healthy ! God bless you.
