| Nothing is more rewarding than knowing peace and having faith in God. At times I would have to reflect upon my actions and where I stand as a human being and where I should be in life. One thing is for sure, to live life in the most humble way as you possibly can, without allowing the material world to corrupt your mind and spirit. I fall short in my own actions as well, but I'm striving to be a better person each day, to either learn how to detach myself from things and let the universe takes its coarse, or to understand that things of this world is not mine. The only thing that I really possess is my spirit and my faith.

| Okay, so my friend had told me about his friend who went on the South Beach Diet and it was a success for him. So he had asked me, you think you could give up sugar and carbs for 2 weeks? My reaction was  yaaa right. But I think I'm going to take the challenge just to prove to myself and see if I could atleast attempt to do it, plus theres really nothing to lose except fat. lol  I'll keep this xanga as a log to my South Beach Diet Trial. They say you are suppose to lose up to 14lbs in 2 weeks. Sounds unhealthy, but we will see if it'll work for me. My goal is to really lose the fat on my thighs and arms. I've been working out, but its so hard to work in that area, its just a very stubborn piece of fat. Anyways, wish me luck. I'll repost in another week to see if I lost some weight. I dread diet programs!!  | | |
| I never understood why someone would attempt to commit suicide. Maybe its an easy way out or maybe its a feeling of no direction or hope in life. Whatever the cause may be, I still believe suicides are victims of this dreadful world.  My former boss recently killed himself. He did not seem to carry the traits of a suicidal person, and he still took his own life. What's sad to me is seeing the grief his wife and son would have to carry for the rest of their lives. Being that he is Jewish, suicide is deemed to be a grave sin. My heart goes out to his family who I grew to love and respect. Only God can revive his family and the pain they are feeling at this moment and so on. You are in my prayers M.T., may God be with you. | | |
| So this year I'm doing some traveling. Planning a cruise trip with Jose to the Caribbeans for a week in June, which means hit the gym more often and eat less or more healthier. We'll be stopping by Key West, Cozumel Mexico, and some other places. I'm planning another trip with my aunt to Phuket Thailand and Angkor Wat Cambodia for 2 weeks in December. I look forward to meeting some of my relatives and learning more about my history, culture, wildlife and mainly understanding the affects of a Post-Communist country. Its not going to be one of those jolly trips, but more of a life learning experience. I'm hoping to perhaps become a sponsor to a child in Cambodia through World Vision Cambodia and see what other possibilities I may offer. Also, I'm trying to get a friend to come along with me this time. The more the merrier. This is my first time back to Thailand and Cambodia since I left there when I was about 6 months old. So this should be interesting and rewarding. | | |
| STOP GLOBAL WARMING - For the penguins, polar bears, and for humanity The main purpose of this blog is to perhaps inform some of my friends who are unaware of the global warming affect on the earth. Global warming is the result of trapped carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere acting as a warm blanket. The results of trapped heat can cause severe global changes, environmental, and health issues. The Polar bear life threatening issue is just one example illustrating the affects of environmental changes in the Artic circle.  Save the bears and our future to exist. There are ways for everyone to participate in reducing energy and carbon dioxide. Here are a few. Use fluorescent bulbs
Change your Air Filter Monthly
Change the AC Filter
Take shorter showers
Carpool when you can
Switch to a Hybrid Car
