In this entire month I haven't really found time for myself to relax. I have just been studying and trying to improve as I have mentioned in all my other blog posts.
Pretty much my body is at a state where I don't mind showing it to others now. I have toned up with going to gym and doing a lot of cardiovascular exercises. I'm pretty much at the stage where I want to go swimming now at Feng-chia to further tone up every part of my body of which swimming is a very good fitness exercise for this. I just don't know when. I mean I have a lot of free time, while I'll admit, I spend most of that time trying to study, I still have a lot of spare and extra time. I haven't swum in a long time and I feel going swimming will help me relax and chill out a little while also improving my body.
On another note, when I get time… I will be re-designing this website. I have kind of turned it into a journal type blog as opposed to a general blog about my life.

Yesterday we went to two restaurants not 2 hours from each other. It was kind of ridiculous, but my mother is kind of like that. I ate too much at the first restaurant, so when we went to the second one, I still ate, but now I feel like a pig. I also didn't realise we were going to another restaurant since I wasn't too clear on what they (My cousin and my mother) were saying in Chinese. (I actually had no idea what they were talking about…)
The food was good however I now feel I need to do twice as much exercise today, since I ate way too much. Here are some pictures of the food:
The food was pretty decent. Though I did not take any pictures of the second restaurant since I had no clue where we were going, so I just left my camera at home. But the first restaurant had some interesting decor and interior design. It was like a road, but inside a small nice warehouse. I have pictures of them, but I need to resize them, since they are around 4 – 5 mb's each in size!

For the past couple of days my weight has sat a steady 86kgs; however, today before I exercised in the gym I weighed myself and I now weigh 85kgs.
I feel I’;ve come a long way
I originally weighed 110kgs and possibly more if I had not taken action against the way I was living and eating. I now regularly exercise, go out and generally I am more concerned about my fitness and health more than ever. Even though I have been eating a lot lately my metabolic rate has increased which means I can eat a lot more without having to suffer the consequences of gaining overall weight.
But I am still not happy with the way my body looks. Although I have slimmed down and put on some muscle, I also want to lose a lot more fat. Or around 3 kg worth of fat. Or perhaps when I start to look good I will slow things down a little. Since I am going to the gym near enough everyday and work out 1 hour if not more in the gym; this is primarily how I’ve lost weight.
On another topic…
I applied very recently to be Taiwanese. With this comes the obligation that as a Taiwanese person, I have to do 12 months of military conscription. Although my Chinese sucks, it is still possible for a foreigner with bad Chinese language skills to do the conscription, or so I have heard. I still think it would be the worst idea ever to place a gun in the hands of someone who has no idea what army instructors are saying.
Considering I have to join the Taiwanese military somewhere this year and quite possibly this month, fitness is my main concern as well as learning Chinese. [Although learning Chinese is much more of a concern for me for obvious reasons; considering I live in a country where that is the main language] However, I just hope there are lots of people in the military who know how to speak good English. In fact, I was thinking of doing language exchange with a couple people in the military. Firstly, to help improve my Chinese and secondly to possibly make some really good friends.

I have been very committed to my exercising and not only am I purely just running around tracks and parks, I am also going to the gym lifting 80 lb weights on my legs and for my arms too. Granted I didn't do much weight lifting today, mostly I did a lot of running and cardio exercise. Some on the running machine and a lot of exercise on the bicycle machine. (I around 13 miles on the bicycle machine)
Then I proceeded to do some exercise with the weight lifting contraption. 80 lb was kind of heavy, but I need to train more at that type of weight to hopefully be able to lift that easy soon enough.
I will be focusing tomorrow mostly on my arms and I might do some proper weight lifting with dung-bells and bar-bells for about as long as I can stand it. But hopefully I will be able to build up some muscle as well as lose weight. I am also thinking of taking up swimming, but I need to bring my body up to standard, plus my body is not tanned while my arms and face are well-tanned lol, so it looks a bit funny when I take my shirt off. I guess I need to run with my shirt off or something. š

Ok. This is a very odd and perhaps funny story.
So I was doing my daily exercise and I stopped to rest after continually running around this running track in my local park. I had a drink of nice freezing cold water in the 31 degree heat and then I saw this guy coming up to me, who looked young, but he was starring directly at me.
Now I don’t believe in god, but if there is something out there, is this your idea of a sick freaking joke? š
Ok, so I’m cool with the guy. He asks me where I’m from. I look foreign, so I thought, maybe he is just being nice or looking for a friend. But then he starts touching my hand and calling me handsome. Then he starts touching my head and my knee.
I say to him that I’m not gay but I don’t have a problem with gays and heĀ persistentĀ on touching me. I was flattered even though he was a dude, that he called me handsome. I don’t get that much and lets just say it was nice. (Would have been cooler though if it was a super-hot girl doing this though)
Ok, I tell him all this and ask him a few questions, then things just get weird. He keeps trying to touch me, but as I’m not violent and since he had no hostile intentions I didn’t hurt him. So I just moved away. Then I said I had to leave. He then FOLLOWS ME, and I ask him where he lives, he points at a direction and I say I live in theĀ oppositeĀ direction. Then I say “bye” just to get rid of him.
Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with gay people, but when you start touching me and I’m expressing that I’m not fucking liking it. You back the fuck off. Ā So I said earlier that it was getting weird. He was asking if he could touch my body or under my t-shirt. I said no, I am not gay and then left it at that, but he kept asking and I gave the same answer. Then he said “do you want to play a game?”. I said what game is it you want to play? Then this guy pointed at his doo daaa which was the point where I was totally freaked out. Once I saw him go, I went back to do some more running. Luckily I shook him off, but fuck me that was theĀ creepiestĀ encounter I have ever had in my life. š
Hopefully I won’t ever meet this guy again. I felt like I was being molested by a man. I was close to getting angry, but I let myself be peaceful since the park is peaceful. But if I see him again and he touches me I will first tell him to fuck off and if he doesn’t I will either run away or beat him until he gets the point. Again I have no problem with gay people, just stay the hell away from me if you are going to touch me. Now if it was a girl that would have been another story… if she was hot well then… who knows what could have happened LOL!
