What If's...

Hey Guys!
So I was recently in one of those moments in life where they're two ways of which you need to pick one. Option A seems easier but there is that monster in your stomach that pulls and tugs and screams 'What if, by not taking Option B you're missing out on something' And then there's that twin who screams 'What if Option B kills you and it turns out to be a huge mistake?'

In the short life I have lived till today I've learnt many things, some things being that everything happens for a reason. And that counts everything. I feel that whatever way you chose to go it was all meant to happen for either a long term or a short term reason that you may or may not even ever get to know about. I believe that everything is not only for a reason but a good reason. A reason that ultimately will do the best and only the best for you. However, don't get me wrong, I don't believe in this thing called destiny. I don't believe that everything in your life is pre-decided so you can just go full YOLO mode on everything. I believe that your life is completely up to YOU but that decision won't always be sweet. All I'm saying is that even the decisions that may seem bitter to you are all meant to happen. Even if the reason is teaching you a lesson.

A small example of this from my life is there was this person lets call them '12'. Now I'll try to paint a faint history of this situation. So, '12' was a person who I used to once be extremely extremely close to. The best friend kind. We loved talking to each other and would spend nights together just talking. Somewhere in the middle there was some misunderstanding and we had a huge fight. A fight as in our egos came in the way and I'll admit I might have stretched on the topic for more than it was needed and I swore on 12's face that I would never talk to 12 again. We hadn't talked in about 8 months.
Now back to the story-
So my bestfriend wanted to meet and we wanted to go shopping and watch a movie but I couldn't go last minute and we were upset. However, we met at my place. We wanted to stay inside but because of some work we were forced to sit outside. Now she really really wanted to sit by the lake but the road was blocked. By this point, we were extremely upset and just that moment I slipped and hurt my ankle and couldn't walk further. So we set up a picnic near the park and began to talk. We started playing with a ball, where we would blindfold each other and then search for the ball, it was my turn. I ran behind the ball and soon realized the ball had reached the feet of two people. I asked them, still blindfolded, if they could pass the ball to me. And one of them did. I felt 12's hand place the ball carefully on my palm.
Later that night I got a call from 12.

I don't believe it was a coincidence.
We were meant to talk that day and we did. We talked all night. sorted everything out and reached a point where we became friends again and best friends today. The reason why my best friend and I couldn't go shopping, why we couldn't stay inside my house, why we couldn't sit by the lake, why I hurt my ankle, why we had to sit by the park at that moment and why we started to play with the ball. I believe it was all meant to happen in order to lead to that day because everything also has a place and a time. This was the time and place for this new friendship to spark off from the ashes.



Well. Coming back to the choosing a way crisis. They're usually two things I tend to do in this moment.
1) I write down the pros and the cons for both the ways and choose the practical way. In this option however, I don't let my heart sway me even a bit. I'm not so sure if that's healthy or not. But either way, there isn't any guarantee about the effect it might have on me. But then again, that's what makes life beautiful all together. The confusing and puzzling way about how it's so damn unpredictable.
OR
2) This, I'd admit, how I wished life was as easy to take this way all the time. Anyway, in this I close my eyes and think about the two options. It's as simple as it is. My gut feeling decides for me. I do what I think what would make me happy. Yes, they've been moments where in the long term they haven't made me happy but I have zero regrets because these are the moments that taught me something and even if it was for a short bit, just the starting phase- it did, at some point, make me happy. And that's the beauty about this road.

So to end this, let's all take a moment to breath.
Life isn't ending any time soon.
Take your time, take risks, move out of your comfort zone, make mistakes, laugh over them and smile because it's okay.
You're human, I'm human and everything happens for an ultimate reason.

Things to do when feeling creative

1) Pack a coffee and maybe some crisps. Take a book and find the perfect spot where you can read for the next few hours!

2) Free writing.

3) Discover a new place around your house.

4) Listen to your favourite music on the loudest possible volume! Dance, sing along and have fun with it!

5) Make a bucket list for the next few hours and finish as much as possible.


6) Try making a something on a canvas with only recycled things around your house.

7) Compliment someone in a creative way not just the simple 'you look pretty today' (I mean I guess that doesn't hurt either ;) )

8) Write all your favourite quotes down on a paper and either try creating one yourself or turn those quotes into wall arts to hang around your room!

9) Go for a walk on a new and lonely road. Take a camera with you if you can!

10) Let go of everything around you and shrink your world to just you and you. Then close your eyes and think about YOUR priorities.

11) Learn a new song on an instrument or learn a new instrument itself!

Happy Valentines!

Hey Guys,
It's that day yet again, 14th Feb.
It's Valentines!
I hope each one of you reading this had a great, great day no matter how you spent it; either with your friends partying or alone watching movies and stuffing your face with ice cream or with of course that special someone.
Me, Personally, I don't quite believe in the whole 'valentines' thing and I've never celebrated it plus I'm not a people-person anyway.
Soo, I spent it finishing my work and laying sick in bed.
That reminds me I'll do a blog post of some home remedies for a cold since I have a terrible cold...
Either way, I read a book and had tea so all is well.

Anyway, I'm running out of things to write.

Happy Friday! ;)

SO MUCH WORK.

Hey Guys!
So quite contradictory to my last post...
BUT I'M DYING.

I have so so so much work to do and the worst part is I keep getting distracted by TheEllenShow videos or some blogs or songs. There's no way I'm getting my work done before 4 am. And I usually have to wake up at 6 in the morning but I also have to wash my hair which means an hour early.
5 am.
I'm literally going to get an hour of sleep.
And I have my running trials tomorrow. There's no way I'm getting selected with an hour's of sleep the night before.
Moments like these I wish there was just this escape button that we could press and we would reach a completely different world where time would rewind back to Friday or something.
Shit, the things I would change about this weekend if only I could.

Anyways, I'll figure something out.
If nothing works out I'm pretty sure it was all meant to be this way for something better to come my way.
Goddamn it's hard being positive in panic moments like these but meh, we can do it :)

Cya in like an hour or so!

Another site I stumbled across...

allwomenstalk.com

The closest thing to a friend I have right now.
Really though, it has EVERYTHING.
It has posts about everything I've ever thought, spoken or wondered about. Apart from that, I love the format and the way it's presented in general.
Have a look, I'm sure you would love it!

It also has a free app available on your apple products. 
I practically spend my entire day scrolling through their posts!

Recollect.

Hey Guys,
I took the past few days as a break and did things completely my way.
I realized that my need for a break was something I had to pay attention to, I also realized that I didn't quite really need vacation to do things that made me happy.
Yes, its important to stay focused on your work and stuff but I feel that a few years down the road, hell a few months for that matter. Will I really remember the assignments I submitted, the nights I spent doing them?
Before I know it when I look back again I'd realize that this time at this moment will have passed away and I'd spend moments wishing I would have done something else that actually made me happy.
Soo I guess what I'm trying to say is, for all you workaholics out there, take a deep breath, sort out your priorities and once in a while- forget the world. It's okay
This is your life, a life that is built solely on your decisions. Take a risk and go for something that you know will make you smile.

What will you do?

Hey Guys,
So I was with my friends and we were going through some personality quizzes. There was one that I really really liked, I know most of them have no truth in them but it was just interesting to see who would pick what.
Anyways, here's the gist of it-
------------------------------------------
 So you've been with a guy/girl for a long long time and you really like them. After about 7 years he proposes and you say yes and you're actually really happy. You're engaged and all that, soon enough its the wedding day. The wedding is in a few hours and you're in a room alone. Suddenly, you feel a different feeling hit you and you just know it's not the last moment panic, its something much different. You suddenly feel that you don't love this person and you just know that it's not this person but some random person you met the day before in the grocery shop. The feeling is so strong, you just know it and there's no denying it. What will you do?

a) Proceed with the wedding and after a few months or so break it off.
b) Ignore the feeling and proceed with the wedding.
c) Leave a note, run away and then figure out what to do
d) Run away and go straight to the grocery shop person
e) Tell your closest friend and run/ RUN
f) Have a talk with him, if he stops you, RUN.
g) Have a talk with him, if he stops you, stay.

------------------------------
MEANINGS-

If you chose
a- you are the kind of a person that cares about what people say. It may not even be people you actually know but society in general. You don't want to embarrass the person but you also care about yourself.

b- You are a person too practical and systematic. You don't believe in these kind of stupid, sudden feelings. You think it's too late to make a move and so you don't try and even if you do, you believe the people around you are more important than you, yourself.

c) You work on instant feelings. Quite the opposite of a person who chose b. You don't believe in planning things, whatever happens- you'll manage and you usually do.

d) You are a person full of passion. You believe in all sorts of magic and for you its a good thing. You believe its never too late and for you it somehow always works out too.

e) You do care about the one you thought you loved but at the same time you know it's not right for any one of you either way. You tell your friend because without them you know you would chicken out, you need that person to reassure you and then you can face the world.

f) You are also a practical person. You care about the people you love but you also care about yourself. When you talk to him, you do so because you feel just leaving would be a move too weak and weak is one word not used to describe you. At the same time though, you are well aware of what you want.

g) Your inner feeling will bring you to try to reason with him/her but then you'd think its a feeling too stupid and just proceed with the wedding because you could never imagine yourself ruining someone like that.
-----------------------------------------
That's all guys!
I chose option e because I know I would have sort of a 'should I? or should I not?' sort of feeling and I would definitely end up telling my sister who I know would support the running away.

Hope you liked it!
Even if you guys don't believe in this, it's a fun little thing :P
Cyaa

PS- ITS THE SECOND MONTH OF 2014 ALREADY?!?! :O

------------------------
Hey guys,
I know this was brief and a self-centered post but I felt like I should do one of these. I feel like you guys barely know me. Sooo, I'm Ericza Bolt, my parents wanted to name me Erza but they thought it was a name too graceful for me. I needed something more 'ericza' ish. And I love my name. Hmm. What else? I play the piano, drums and the guitar but I really can't sing. Or cook. Oh and the day I turned six I realized I could really fly if I wanted to- and so I decided to run.

Things that piss me off.

Since I'm already in an irritated mood, why not?

1) Burps
I don't even know but this has to be number one on the list. I can't stand them. I just feel disgusted and I force myself to not breathe because...I don't want to inhale their burp. My mind works in weird ways.

2) Crossing roads
Holy Macaroni, this gives me soo much anxiety and I do this weird thing that if I hear a car on the right side I look to the left because in this movie that I saw when I was about 3, the guy says that it's better not to look death in the face...Don't judge me okay?

3) Hugs, cuddling, holding hands
Okay all my girl friends get really irritated because I absolutely hate that kinda stuff and me being a girl, I'm supposed to be all 'OOh it's so cold, can we cuddle?' but honestly, I rather die of cold than cuddle or hug. Oh and holding hands? Who even invented that? And walking while holding hands? Jeez. It's like I can't even walk with freedom anymore, I'm stuck to you and your hand sweat.

4) Math
You knew this was coming. Do I even need to elaborate?

5) Untied shoelaces
Just, just tie them already. Why do you have to walk around while your laces drag on the floor, dipping in water, dirt and all kinds of things. And then the little 'Oh!' when you almost trip when someone steps on them. ERMAHGERD.

6) Traffic noises- 
Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety. And I already have panic attacks quite frequently, traffic noises just make them much worse- makes me feel like my world is a chaos and nothing is settled.

7) The Fake Tomboy Crisis
Okay, is it just the girls around me or is this like a new thing? A 'tomboy' girl is apparently much more 'cooler' and 'better'? Now that isn't the problem until every girl around me decides to pretend to be one when I know they are far from that- IT KILLS ME. Why can't you just be your own goddamn self?

8) Chipped nail-paint
Ah. We all get lazy here. Let's be real, I have some chipped nail paint at the moment but every time I look at it, it gets me a little upset and irritated and then I do this thing where I try to peel it off using my teeth. Yeah, never works. Idk. Is it just me?

9) The sound of typing
Specially, when I'm trying to sleep. I can sleep with the loudest music on the planet, with all the lights on, with every single person talking but the sound of typing? It drives me a little crazy.

10) People in general
Okay, don't get me wrong. I love people. But only like 5 to the max. I always thought that it was clingy people who I didn't like but then I realized that every person who I'm supposed to be close with (bestfriend, sister, close friends) they all require time which means texting, calling, spending actual time. And it's a fair deal. But thing is I might actually like you, but I really can't spend more than 3 hours with a person until I get irritated. (excluding my sister). Oh and texting and calling? That's one thing I just can't. No matter how hard I try I just always forget or I'm not in the mood. I dont know, I guess I just like spending time alone more. #Thethuglife

---------------------------------
That's it guys, I'll post a 'Things that make me happy' too because now I just sound like a negative, depressed soul. Don't get me wrong though we all are different and we all have our own opinions and our own pet peeves, the language I used might sound more aggressive but I was just depressed because work tomorrow
:(
Cya! 

Don't want to go.

Hey Guys,
I'm having one of those days.
I'm having one of those moments where I feel like I would do anything in the world, I would agree to any proposition- I just don't want to go to work tomorrow. I really, really, really don't want to go. The worst part is I have no idea why- the day tomorrow isn't half as bad as to what the rest of the days have been, I do have some unfinished work but I could stay up the night and finish it (which I have to do either way) I just for some weird reason want to stay at home and sleep or just do nothing and listen to some music and read a book.
I guess I just really desperately need a break.
Earlier today, I went back to my first post on this blog. Vacation's were heaven *_*
Honestly, I can't wait for summer vacations, the thought of getting another vacation is quite literally what's helping me get up every chilly morning and go.

PS- I'm probably gonna write a few more posts where I just rant. Don't worry- I'll delete them before sleeping. 

Workout Routine

Hey Guys,
I thought about sharing my workout routine as I decided to change it up a little recently. Keep in mind, this is all aimed towards long distance running and apart from this routine I make sure to have proper meals, at least 8 hours of sleep and 9 on days that have a harder routine and around 8 cups of water on a daily basis.
I also switch between week one and week two because lets be real I'll probably give up if I had that sort of routine every week.

WEEK ONE-

MONDAY- Plyometric Workouts ( Improves running as well as tones your legs because I don't want to have the completely muscular sort of legs)

I found a video that pretty much describes what I do- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9dCAxPLzzs

TUESDAY- Long Distance Run- (Semi- Recovery day. Couldn't have had this as a full recovery day because the next day is hard workout) Also, try to keep your strides as long as possible if it's long distance.

WEDNESDAY- Interval Running or Pyramid Intervals (Increases stamina) Keep in mind to switch between the two intervals every Wednesday depending on how you feel. The pyramid intervals burn the living hell out of me.  (Search up the two intervals if you're not sure- it's important to have the right technique. 

THURSDAY- Slow jog or take day off and jog on Saturday (Recovery Day)

FRIDAY- Walk or jog depending on Thursday (If I decide to take rest on Thursday, I'd jog on Friday if I jog on Thursday, I'd walk on Friday) 

SATURDAY- Rest- Squats, Lunges, Push ups, Crunches depending on Thursday (Full Recovery Day- Let your muscles have a full day off but make sure to do a set of these exercises to make your run better on Sunday, these will also make your posture better while running and not tire you as much)

SUNDAY- Walk- Short Sprints- Walk- Short Sprints (Focusing on speed)

WEEK TWO-

Any one day to take rest- the other days will be a normal jog. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from this- make sure to have a good posture, hydrate yourself and obey the two day rule. (If your legs seem to pain for two days, take two days off. If the pain does not go away even after two weeks- visit the doctor)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this was helpful in some way...I guess.
Cya! :D

La-la-la life.

Hey Guys!
I was trying to sleep and obviously, my brain suddenly started to think about the most random, deep stuff. And then I thought about expectations. How many times has that word given me fake hope? but at the same time how many times has it helped me get through life?

I remember my first big 'expectations fail'. It's a bit too personal to share on the internet, but I remember thinking about the future all the time and I remember how it all seemed so easy and do-able. And then I watched myself grow up, watched my grin fade away as I saw everything fall apart, I watched myself realize how it was nothing like what I imagined. It stuck with me for a while. It stuck and it refused to let go.
I suffered, life went on, and one day out of the blue- I dealt with it.
Life didn't wait no matter how much I pleaded. It was as though life was the director of a school, no matter how much a student was going through how often does the director come to know about it- they continue running the school even if the student has no will to go.
It is up to you how much you want to suffer because there is literally no one waiting for you. It's you alone. And it's completely up to you how much of your time you want to waste sobbing over one incident. You can either deal with it, find the positives and make most of it or hate everything and be depressed.
After that incident, when reality finally hit me, I realized that nothing remains the same. I realized that this moment is inevitable, this moment that you are living is unique- this moment and you- are precious. Think about your life right now- think about each person who is part of it. Think about the people who once were. At some point, they changed- for better or worse. And there is literally nothing you can do about it because you, yourself are changing every second. That's what life is. It's okay to feel bad, it's alright to miss and it's completely normal to feel pathetic about yourself once in a while but remember the wind will keep blowing, the sea will keep crawling to the shore and at some point the ache will wash away and you'll be alright.

The 'I don't know how to describe it, but I feel cool listening to it' kinda songs-

*They're all pretty old. I don't know. I was in one of "those" moods. 

Thought I'll share some of them :D

1) Drake- The Motto

2) Snoop Dogg- Drop it like it's hot

3) Shaggy- It wasn't me

4) Pretty Ricky- Grind On Me  (those vines though... *_* )

5) Nelly- Just A Dream

6) Mac Lethal- Jake + Olive

7) Lil- Wayne- Lollipop

8) Lil- Wayne- A Milli

9) Kid Cudi- Day 'N' Night

10) Jim Jones- We Fly High

11) Ke$ha- Sleazy Remix 2.0

12) Chamillionaire- Ridin'

13) Ace Gutta ft DJ Khaled_ T-Pain_Rick Ross- Cash Flow

*might as well :P

Hey Guys,

When it comes to music I sort of have a taste for all kinds- Classical, jazz, pop, rock, hip hop, blues, electronic, bluegrass, indie etc. 

Almost all of them except heavy metal and metal. 

Anyways, I felt like listening to hip hop today and I thought I'd share some that I heard all day. I don't know how to describe 'the feeling'. 

Please don't tell me I'm weird...

The Day We Were Alone. #2

After having just spent 4 hours playing a barbie game, you would think we would want some sleep now. But guys, picture this - you've eaten more than you would in 5 days, you've had about 10 glasses of coffee, you've had a bath in whipped cream, you've had a home- fashion show, and you haven't slept in 22 hours. This is the recipe of bad ideas. Now see, usually I would know when to stop but this time, when my sister turned to me with her eyes all sparkly and said "It's six in the morning...let's work out!" I didn't stop.
So we grabbed an energy drink each and head out. We laughed -and I don't mean the "hehe" laugh- I mean the howling, echoing, disturbing and not-lady-like-at-all sort of laugh. We quite literally jumped to the gym and it was a winter morning...I was dressed in shorts and my dad's shirt. Not even a t-shirt. And my sister was dressed in pajamas and a tank top. When we reached the gym, we went full on beast mode. All I remember is walking back home all sweaty but no, not so much exercise stopped the laughter just yet. We stopped by the swings.
(Could this get worse? Yes.)
We went on one of those spiny things. We howled and laughed and spat (not on purpose) all over the place and that's when my sister's friend crossed by...We were so embarrassed that the only way we could find to hide our faces was going even faster on the swing.
By now, it was about 8 in the morning and since it was winter- the sun had just found a way to cut through the world for us. My sister then had another idea.
She decided we should watch the sunrise. So, we went back home, got another energy drink, the ipod and packed the left overs of the cake last night. My sister knew a way to sneak up to the rooftop of our society. So here we were, two kids who had had no sleep whatsoever, hiding from guards with cake and energy drinks stuffed in our arms. We finally made our way up without being caught and were in time to set out our little "picnic". We put on some soft music and watched the beautiful sunrise.
Even though I was quite the mess at this point, I'm pretty sure this was one of 'those' moments. The kind of moment you never forget, not in a lifetime. We gossiped and ate and head back down at about 10. We heated the water and went for a long bath together and got dressed. We were ready by 12 and made our way back to the coffee shop where we just had a coffee each. While walking home I remember feeling something weird in my tummy, I remember asking my sister if she felt it too and of course- she did. The moment we stepped in the house we both puked out everything.
We made some warm green tea to make ourselves feel better. It was about 2 at this point and all I remember from then is laying on the bed and talking to my sister. I remember watching her eyelids get heavy and I remember mine feeling the same. The next time my eyes opened were at 10 in the morning the next day and my sister woke up next after two days.
I sometimes wonder what my parents walked into after a short, nice vacation-
Cans of energy drinks, bath tubs full of whipped cream, clothes literally everywhere, wrappers of all sorts of food, two passed out kids, and puke on the floor and the kitchen.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure they figured it out by themselves.

The Day We Were Alone.

Hey Guys!
I'm really sorry about the late post. School's started and the amount of work I suddenly have piled up is not even funny. Anyways, whatever happens and how high the pressure gets I'm going to hold on to something I love- that is writing these posts.
---------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so the first "story time" post I wrote was from my marathon and you guys really seemed to like it and I definitely enjoyed writing it. So, here's another one!
This is from the first time my sister and I were left alone in the house for two days and one night. Keep in mind that she was about in Year 9 and I was in Year 5.
Our parents left at about 8 in the morning and they were to come at about 9 pm the next day. And then began the 37 hours of pure madness.
The moment they left the first thing we did was head out to a walking-distance coffee shop and we had our breakfast there. That consisted of 7 glasses of cold coffee in winter with one patty each. Then we reached back home and put our favourite songs on loud, each room had the same song playing on the speaker. We sang, danced and gossiped. Before we knew it, it was time to take a shower! So obviously. We bought blue, green and red food colouring from the shop downstairs and mixed it in our shower, we also put it in tons of whipped cream. We changed into our bathing suits and had a fun bath together :D
Then, we put on some face masks and did our nails in the most ridiculous way possible. Soon enough we were hungry and it was about 6pm so we decided to have our lunch. This is where things REALLY started to get bizarre. We called up McDonalds and ordered every drink they had and 6 burgers ( 3 for each) to go with that. Also, don't ever forget the 4 large packets of french fries. We waited for it to arrive by playing a little game. We made about 30 chits each of them with a little dare in it. She went on my facebook and I went on hers. The chits had something stupid to say or post and we were forced to do it. This ended with me being extremely embarrassed and deactivating my account. By this time the food had arrived and we ate it while watching a movie. Once the movie got over, we decided to save some of the drinks and the french fries for a midnight snack. My sister then baked a cake and I prepared the icing which we ate as a sweet dish while watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S
Then, my sister and I had a little fashion show. Before we both presented ourselves each dress had to be acc to a theme. We kept themes as "The Plastic Girl", "The Gangsta", "The Wannabe", "The Nerd" etc. By this time it was about midnight. We ordered some crisps, biscuits and chocolates alongside the drinks and french fries we already had. We then surfed the internet to find an interesting game to play. We played 'Plants Vs. Zombies' till about 2am but then we got *don't judge* distracted by a barbie game. Now the funny thing about this is, at first we started playing the game because it was annoying us. It was annoying the way she talked, the way the game was presented and how everything was pink. Now from this point on, my memory is sort of blurry because all I remember is being really into the game. The next time we looked out our window it was officially the next day. We checked the time. 6am. We had just spent 4 hours playing a barbie game.
-------Part 2 coming up!--------

Inspired by- The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

Through the ups and downs we have been through there was a high possibility of us never reaching any of the places I wish we did. But for now, for this moment if there was one thing I was certain of was that I was connected to that familiar soul, quite literally- in a numb, sad sort of way. And for this moment we weren't done just yet. The story may not have a happy ending- actually to be honest, it most probably won't but it was that unfinished, unsaid feeling I felt around us. As though even if you were to separate us by a thousand miles I would feel what he would feel. The charisma that surrounded us was something so strong, so magnetic and powerful that made me want to wait for time to age so I could discover the annoyingly-exciting mystery but at the same time- not really. The powerful vibes that lived between us would spend most of their time scaring me.

Warm-up and Cool-down Routine

*Before running or jogging

WARM UP ROUTINE-

1) If working out in the morning- walk for the first 15-20 minutes.
If working out in the evening- walk for the first 10 minutes.
*Avoid working out at night.



2) Front Lunges- Don't hold the position. Do about 15 each side.

3) Find an elevated position and do about 10 foot presses each foot.

4) High Knee Jumps. Do about 15.

5) Shake off the legs and start your run!





COOL DOWN ROUTINE-

Note- For the cool down routine all my friends who run with me usually just walk for a while and then stretch out their legs for about five minutes. For me this doesn't seem to work. My knee and my ankle begin to pain a lot to the point where it gets hard for me to walk straight. This cool down routine is just what I follow and it seems to work out for me but I'm not sure if it will for everyone else.

1) Walk for at least 15 minutes.

2) 15 Foot presses on each side.

3) Shake off each leg. If you feel your muscles are still quite tense do more foot presses. If not, then you can begin stretching. Copy the picture below, I don't know how to describe that :P

4) If your leg still seems to be tense, then again copy this picture :P I need to learn the names of these exercises :|

5) To finish it off, I don't know if it is supposed to help but I do about 30 push-ups. It helps my workout and  helps relax my muscles.

I'm no pro, but I hope this helped in some way. 

Happy Running!

#2
HEAVY RAIN.

Heavy Rain is a thriller in which the player can choose their fate. In total, they are about 18 different endings and different choices that you make result in the endings. Throughout the story you play from the viewpoint of about 4 different characters. The plot line revolves around an 'origami killer' who kidnaps children and drowns them in heavy rain, he leaves behind clues and various missions for the parents to complete if they wish to save their child. An FBI Agent, A Private Investigator,  A Journalist and the first father who wishes to complete all the missions to save his son set out to find the killer.

#1
THE LAST OF US

The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror game. The player plays through the character 'Joel' who travels across post-apocalyptic United States. He is escorting a young girl, Ellie who the fireflies believe may be the key cure to the infection. The two of them travel defending and fighting themselves from zombie-like creatures who are actually humans that were infected by some sort of fungi. What I really like about this gameplay (apart from its realistic sound editing) is the way the game develops the story. In the beginning, Joel and Ellie both are extremely blunt towards each other and don't get along because of their own personal reasons. As the game builds, the two characters have a strange sense of liking and connection. Apart from these reasons, the ending definitely is one of the major reasons of why it's on the top number.
