  • This one is for all you straight guys out there. I laughed SO hard when I read this one! __________________________________________________________ Recently a "Husband Super Store" opened where women could go to …

  • Okay, I feel much better today. I got to the gym this morning which helped to put me in a better mood. I still hate the new guy, but at least now instead of wanting to inflict bodily harm on him, I just don't want to…

  • I need to blow off some steam. I am cranky right now, and I think that has to do with the fact that I haven't gone to the gym in almost a week. The operation on my arm, the KKT visit, and my cold have all contributed t…

  • We're quickly approaching the end of March 2005, or in other words 1/4 of 2005 is almost done. Time to check what sort of progress I've made with my Resolutions for 2005. Actually, now that I've decided to move back to…

  • Ugh... I am sick of being sick. I caught a cold some time over the weekend, which means I've been battling congestion. I've gone through an entire pack of tissue already today. Last night I kept waking up to drink wat…

  • My friend Pitt, aka one of my hot straight friends, is a personal trainer. He's also into holistic and preventative medicine. He noticed that I have a tendency to lean all my weight on one leg when I'm standing, and th…

  • Countdown: 104 days and counting! I almost forgot that it's Easter weekend. Actually, I did forget. It wasn't until my colleague reminded me that I realized that it was this weekend. Unlike Christmas and Valentine's…

  • I survived! The surgery was a lot more complicated than I expected it to be. Even though I was only having a lump removed from my forearm, they had me change into scrubs, put my hair into a hair net, and lie on an ope…

  • 105 days to go and counting. I got into the office a lot earlier than usual. Not because I have a lot to do today, but because now I'm used to waking up early to go to the gym. This morning, however, I chose not to wo…

  • I love my BodyCombat class, so it pains me to say this: I've decided that waking up at 5:45 a.m. on Thursdays to do the BodyCombat class at my gym isn't worth it anymore. At least not until they change the routine …

  • I have managed to wake up early since Sunday to get to the gym in the morning, including twice before coming to work. I'm on a roll! Sunday I worked on my chest, yesterday was back, and today was shoulders. Tomorrow…

  • My colleague's brother and sister-in-law (who also, by coincidence, also graduated from U of T the same year I did! ) runs a jewelry shop in Taipei near the Breeze Center. On Saturday between eating at the Italian resta…

  • So I woke up this morning around 7:30 am thanks to the beautiful sun shining into my apartment. I think this is the first time in months that I've been awoken by something other than my alarm clock. But even better,…

  • Don't you just love it when you hit the "Submit" button, and you get an error message? *poof* The entry disappears. Gotta love Xanga. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I…

  • Well, my supposed half-day off never materialized. I was planning to be in the office for only a few hours today to make up for the fact that I haven't had a weekend off in the month of March, but here I am, 4:15 pm, …

  • I love sharing jokes, especially when they are at the expense of American politicians. Enjoy! _______________________________________________________ One morning, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were having brunch at a…

  • Today is a long, LONG day at the office, and it doesn't help that I'm not really motivated to do anything. That's how I get when I see a full schedule: I do what's on the agenda, and nothing more. Granted, I guess I ha…

  • Anyone that has seen me in a t-shirt has probably noticed that I have small bumps or lumps on my forearms. There are quite a few actually, of various sizes. I've had them for as long as I can remember. Everytime I tal…

  • It's amazing what you can find on the Internet these days. Just by browsing around Xanga you will come across all sorts of "interesting" things, like this site. Thanks mikeyg223! And the countdown continues. 116 d…

  • Damn, I miscalculated. It was actually 118 days as of yesterday and 117 days as of today. My boss is in a cranky mood this morning, so I'm going to do my best to avoid her. I'm pretending to do work right now. Th…

  • One of my biggest problems is that when I've got extra time on my hands, I think too much. If I have something on my mind, then I dwell on it for hours and I start asking all sorts of questions. It's very "Sex and th…

  • I'm heading out to Hsinchu again this weekend to finish training the new instructors. The weather this week was nice. Sunny and warm. But this weekend it's supposed to get cold and windy again. Lovely. Hsinchu is a…

  • Last night I managed to get out of work and hang out with an old friend of mine from university, Calvin. This was the first time that we had seen each other in about two years. The last time we got together was after …

  • Today has been a pretty quiet day overall. I've been taking advantage of that fact by catching up on admin work, e-mails, and meeting with students/clients. I even managed to get my laundry done during my afternoon bre…

  • Ah the joys of red tape. It looks like I'm not going to be able to spend Gay Pride weekend with Peter this year, or celebrate his graduation. I'm pretty much stuck in Taiwan until July 8, 2005, assuming of course that…

  • It's bloody COLD today. The temperatures are below 10 C, and of course the AC is on so it's actually colder inside than it is outside. My fingers are numb with cold as I type this entry. I've complained about this b…

  • I haven't had much time to update my Xanga in the past couple of days simply due to the amount of work that I had to do on Thursday and Friday. Today I'm actually writing from Hsinchu, a city about an hour and a half by…

  • I'm guessing that whoever came up with the idea for Chinese water torture lived in Taipei for a while. God knows I'm going crazy with all this rain, rain, and more rain. So here's the big news that I've been hinting …

  • Since that Big Red contest is only for US citizens residing in the US (or something like that) I've deleted the game from my site. In it's place, I've decided to post some pictures of Taipei 101, the world's tallest off…

  • I stand corrected. Yesterday something became perfectly clear. I have made a decision and now I have to follow through with it. I won't say anymore at this point, but it's a big decision. I'll discuss this more later…
