I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for six years and three hundred and four days in a row.
I was able to keep more than 15-time push-ups for the two hundred and fifty-first
consecutive day including the latest twenty-eight days of 28 times of them.

I tried oiling the chain of my bike yesterday and very happily, it really worked.
Actually, my bike had been pretty noisy but after oiling, the noise has got very
very mild, rather I may say it's within "being quiet".
I was afraid that the bike's chain might have loosened and as a result it was noisy.
Anyway, I must be lucky because I now don't have to pay for unnecessary things.
