Wednesday

You know, Wednesdays are those days I so look forward to. It's the one day of the week that I actually make time to go to the gym. It's a beautiful day with not a cloud in sight. I had to skip my haircut appointment today because I had a sudden work appointment. So my haircut is postponed until tomorrow.

After working for about an hour, I headed down to the gym and took an aerobics class, a weight workout and some chest exercises. That's all I had time for but it felt good to work out. Then I came home and did a bit more work and went to have some dinner with a friend and then to see a movie. Today we saw a movie called ZODIAC. It was too serious for me and I felt drained after watching it. It wasn't bad, just tiring. Too much details to follow and a very unsatisfactory ending in my opinion.

I rode my bike back home and the moon and stars were out...a rare thing in Tokyo. On a balmy night like tonight, there's really nothing better than leisurely riding my bike listening to music on my iPod.

Busy week

Well, it's been 5 days since I've been back from my trip to Bangkok...my third trip this year. I'm back working and juggling various projects once again. I have to say things are going well for me this year and I really can't complain. I'm making more money than ever but finding myself wanting more. Would I ever be satisfied with the amount I'm earning? Well, it's good to reach for the stars right? Nothing wrong with that I suppose. I do have to find a good balance though.

It's getting warmer as the days go by and we are supposed to be into the rainy season starting today, my least favorite season of the year here in Japan. I have to go and buy some rain-proof shoes tomorrow. I always say I will and end up not buying any. I find myself settling with sandals or flip flops and avoiding going anywhere fancy during this time.

I'm on a low-carb diet again since I've gained about 2 kilos during my trip. Is there a way to keep my weight down during a holiday? It's pretty difficult sticking to a low-carb way of life especially in an Asian country when every meal is accompanied by rice or noodles. Oh, and mangos...I always overeat them! Binge on them actually!

Okay, have to work. So many things to do today.
