"Alone; all by myself in fear of failure, unable to see who I am! Who's my savior!? And I don't know why I have come here to the place of condemnation! My existence remains unclear!

But I have broken through what enslaved me! Abolish your guilt wall! Realization allowed me to be free!

My self-confidence has taught me virtues! Your power was my weakness! My weakness was your power!"

17 years ago, a legendary JRPG flew under the radar. I first played my brother's copy in 2004, and eventually got my own just a couple years ago. Today is the first time I will reach level 99.

I'm not really sure what to call something like that. The way it basically goes is, instead of all the good guys getting mercilessly slaughtered, they do a lot of hardcore training and successfully defeat the evil force without any deaths.

I'm keeping strict on my diet and using green tea and full body exercises to burn more fat. Today's my cardio day and tomorrow is strength and endurance training. I hope all this training pays off if I have to save somebody from an extreme situation. That's why I'll keep training and getting better every time.

I got a couple small weights yesterday and used them this morning. I'm doing low weight with high reps for strength and endurance. Now I have a solid routine that mixes diet, Cardio, Weight Training, and Calisthenics. I want to be as strong as my brother.

"I DREAM OF SILENCE AND SALVATION; DELIVERANCE FROM WORLDLY PAIN! BENEATH THE CLOAK OF SLEEP, BENEATH THE SOIL OF EARTH! RELEASE THE BLOOD AND SET ME FREE!

I WILL NOT SUFFER THE INDIGNITY OF LIFE!"

"Your love has set me free, as you've awakened every star that has been sleeping in the constellation of my soul!"

Got a nice workout in today and yesterday. I'll be sore as hell for a few days, but it was worth it.
