Jumping Rope

On every Friday, for my exhausted body during the week days, I do jumping ropes for every friday. Since I don't have PE lessons, I felt that I am getting weaker and weaker. When I started jumping rope, it was hard to do more than 150 times of jumps as my legs were getting heavier and my heart races so fast. I usually did around 100 at once. But now I more easily do 150 times and try to do 200 at once. However still it is a challenge for me. As I improved, I believe that if I give an enough effort to improve, I can achieve my goal again.


  • Increased awareness of strengths and areas for growth
    • I learned that if I try my best towards something that I want to achieve, I can achieve the things quicker and in a satisfied way. Moreover when I understood that I really have improved from the past, the feeling was awesome. I think it will have a positive effect on my next goal.
  • Planned and initiated activities
    • I am planning my goal to achieve next goal because if I don't have my own goal, I am not likely to be motivated when I jumping rope
  • Developing new skills
    • Now I can jump faster and better. I don't usually get stuck by the rope and do nearly 150 times without getting stuck and having breaks.

Chicken Doria

When I was in Korea, I went to a spaghetti restaurant and for the first time in my life, I tried a doria with a chicken. It later became an opportunity to try to make a chicken doria at home when I came back to Moscow. I looked for the recipe and for the first time, made my own chicken doria. Since I am in Moscow and cannot visit the restaurant, the output was satisfied me.

In order to make a chicken doria,
  1. Season chicken with salt and black pepper
  2. Cook the chicken and put some vegetables ( I put onions and mushrooms)
  3. Put cooked rice
  4. Put spaghetti sauce or ketchup and evenly roast
  5. Take the rice to a container for ovens.
  6. Put mozzarella cheese on the rice
  7. Warm up the oven with 180 degrees C
  8. Put the container to the oven and wait until the cheese melts down
  9. Take out the container from the oven after 7-8 minutes


  • Undertaking new a challenge
    • I cooked one that I really liked. So it was a big success to me after I tried it. It was a new challenge for me but as the result was quite successful I was proud of myself as well. However, as it was the first time cooking it, the taste was not very good. I will try to make it several times more so that I can cook better.
  • Developing new skills
    • I have developed my new skills of cooking. I could feel that I have learned a different skills while I was cooking this. For example, I learned how to season chickens.
