30 Years.
As I close in on my 30th birthday at 35,000 feet in the air I realize something. I was looking in the mirror in the bathroom and well… realized that I had come a long way. Not so much in that I had come a long way but in seeing myself in the mirror, I saw a friend… someone who had stuck with me a long time, watching over me, guiding me. That friend was me.
More importantly however I realized that...

Eating Right: Small and Often
It’s really hard to eat too much actually when you eat small meals frequently throughout the day. For the past 2 days I’ve eaten 8 meals a day. Each meal varies between being a light snack to 1/2 a typical lunch meal. For example:
9:30AM: Egg mcmuffin (300 cals) 11AM: Cereal with milk and banana (335 cals) 1PM: Protein shake (200 cals) 2PM: Nigiri sushi (300 cals) 3PM: 1 piece of...

Who are these people?
主唱：王力宏 作曲：鄺裕民 填詞：鄺裕民 編曲：吳慶隆 監製：王力宏
Apparently, 王力宏 is 鄺裕民. If you’ve watched 《色，戒》then you know that 鄺裕民 is his character from the movie. Apparently he wrote this song with the same feelings/style as his character would from the movie. Media reports that 王力宏 might have had difficulty separating himself from his character after the movie and thus affecting the credits for his song(s). Very...

My Relationship with Blackjack
I have a funny relationship with this game called Blackjack. When I first met Blackjack everything was fresh and new to me. There were no “rules” and I felt priveledged just to be able to play the game.
When I got a little older, I realized that Blackjack was a game I would never win at over the long haul so why not play for the social aspect of the game? So I played for the...

Occasional Status Check
Sometimes I over extend myself and then have to slowly reel myself in over the following weeks. I’m constantly re-evaluating my state of being.

王力宏 落葉歸根 歌詞
舉頭望無盡灰雲 那季節叫做寂寞 背包塞滿了家用 路就這樣開始走 日不見太陽的暖 夜不見月光的藍 不得不選擇寒冷的開始 留下只擁有遺憾 命運的安排 遵守自然的邏輯 誰都無法揭謎底 遠離家鄉 不勝唏噓 幻化成秋夜 而我卻像 落葉歸根 墜在你心間 幾分憂鬱 幾分孤單 都心甘情願 我的愛像落葉歸根 家 唯獨在你身邊 但願陪你找回 所遺失的永恆 當我開口 你卻沈默 只剩一場夢
我卻像 落葉歸根 墜在你心間 幾分憂鬱 幾分孤單 都心甘情願 我的愛像落葉歸根 家 唯獨在你身邊
My head lifts to gaze the endless gray clouds In this season called Loneliness With a backpack full of personal necessities This is how my journey begins

I Know Why People Go Bulimic
Take 1 individual with orthorexia nervosa, a dose of body dysmorphic disorder, a healthy sense of guilt, and an all-you-can-eat buffet… Now I know why people stick their fingers down their throats after binge-eating.
Seriously. I semi-thought about it as I was in the bathroom after consuming 1200+ calories at a Korean BBQ. I’ve been sick for 5 days now and the lack of exercise has been getting to...

Tyson and Ali on Arsenio
Sound quality sucks, you gotta turn it up to hear Ali.
Man, Ali was really f-d up already in 1989, can’t understand a word he’s saying.
Mike Tyson comes across like a normal human being! And intelligent too!

Nutrition/Diet/Results: Live and Learn
I have learned a few things about dieting and the results over the last couple of months from being on and off a strict diet.
My recent feelings of being “run-down”, tired, and on the verge of getting sick are a result of not consuming enough calories. This happened 1-2 weeks before the wedding when I was last consuming 300-500 calories less than my daily expenditure. I was ...

Covini C6W: Six-Wheeled Covini C6W Heading to...
The Covini Engineering team’s been clamoring to get the C6W into production for the last 30+ years. Now they might finally have their day.
The Covini Six Wheeler takes its engineering inspiration from the 1976 Tyrell P34 race car which had two pairs of smaller front wheels that were intended to increase air penetration and have a smaller frontal area effectively reducing drag.

The Terrifying Toothpick Fish
When I first heard about this in passing conversation at the office kitchen, I said “BS, that can’t be real! So while you’re peeing, a fish jumps through the stream of urine and into your penis? Whatever!”
Apparently it’s true. This is perhaps the wierdest thing I have ever read. Click here for story.

I Have the "Best Kind" of Eating Disorder
Yes. I have an eating disorder. I also have body dysmorphic disorder. Really the two go hand in hand.
Here’s a sample of my eating disorder:
That’s Monday and Tuesday for the past 2 weeks. Here’s the full version.
So it turns out I have Orthorexia Nervosa. From Wikipedia:
Orthorexia Nervosa is a recently discovered disease because it was thought to be Anorexia earlier on....

Egg McMuffin - What's Unhealthy?
Here’s my take on the Egg McMuffin.
Tastes great
Bread, margarine, Canadian bacon, egg, and cheese
300 cals. 18 grams of protein who cares about the fat.
Easy access at thousands of McDonald’s locations
Question is, is it “healthy”? Read on if you’re curious…

So my buddy Larry ‘tagged’ me. Now I’m supposed to disclose 7 titillating facts about myself and then tag 7 new people. Problem is, I don’t know 7 people online and even less on tumblr so I dunno how this is supposd to work. At first I figured on just blowing this off, but what the hell this could be fun… Now I gotta come up with 7 things that Catherine and Larry may or may...

Redefinition: Excitement
I would like to redefine “excitement”:
Excitement – Anticipation of the unexpected.
I came to this realization after surfing a few weeks straight. I was no longer excited to go surfing and it was obvious why… there was nothing that the water could throw at me (at that point) that I hadn’t already seen. It was almost boring (primarily because it was summer and the waves were tiny). I...

Introvert or Extrovert
It’s a running joke really, I tell people “I’m actually an introvert”, they laugh and I smile. Up until recently I really thought I was an introvert. And up until recently, I really believed that I was an introvert. Not that it makes much difference because it’s just a label, but the significance is with how you identify yourself and how you see yourself.
I had many reasons...
