Highlights of my Day... Tuesday, August 25

1. My current training routine has been the following:

6:00am weight training at Hongik with Kitty Cat
Weight training six days a week on a three-day split
Day 1: arms/shoulders
Day 2: back/chest
Day 3: legs

7:30am return home, eat and then go back to bed

6:00pm boxing with Snickers

10:00pm “natural body training” in the park with Snickers
“Natural body training” consists of performing the following exercises on various playground pieces found in the park beside Guum Ggum.

Push-ups
Pull-ups
Chin-ups
Captain
chair lifts (abs exercise)
Standing calf raises
Tricep dips

2. Snickers is such a sweetie and I love that guy to pieces. He walks me to Hongik weight training in the morning and then does his own training on the mountain. By the time he finishes his mountain run Kitty Cat and I are just about done our weight training and so he walks me back from weight training.

3. My usual morning crash nap had to be put on hold because Kitty Cat and I had a pre-semester staff meeting at Dankook to attend. And so with coffees in hand, Kitty Cat and I headed off to Dankook together.

4. I received my expected let-me-try-to-impress-you-with-my-cheesy-pick-up-lines from a particular co-worker of mine, Mr. Not-So-Smooth. I remember when I first met him and he tried to win me over with his so-called smooth lines. He’s rather forward and pushy with me and so in my attempt at stopping his advances towards me, I once blurted out “I don’t like white dudes… I’ve got yellow fever.” Of course I didn’t mean yellow fever as in the real yellow fever but meant that I have a certain liking towards Asian men.

5. After the meeting today I let it known to Mr. Not-So-Smooth that I had moved. “Oh great! So when can I move in, too?” was the question he threw at me. “Actually, I’m not alone there… there’s a disgustingly beautiful man with an equally disgustingly delish 6-pack who is there when ever I am there and he’s usually half naked so I think I’m a bit too busy for another occupant.”

6. Surprisingly enough the expected 2-hour meeting was only about a half an hour and so that was definitely a sweet bonus.

7. Snickers and I headed off to boxing together at his club. I’m really missing UP Boxing Club though and so it was really nice to run into Black Skinny at the elevator. Black Skinny was running a bit late for a dinner party with some coworkers on the 7th floor but Snickers and I chatted with him for a bit.

8. Homebody-C took a pot shot at me and insisted I had a pot… pot belly that is, correction, a baby belly, as in an actual baby in my belly. That’s typical of Homeboy-C to say though. He’s all about teasing us but sometimes I think it’s a bit uncalled for and so when took a quick jab to my midsection and asked me if I was pregnant I thought I’d play with him for a bit. I joked around with him, teased him by playing stupid, and asked a bunch of silly questions like “How are babies made?” and “ Is it because I kissed a boy?” He continued to be all jokes with me until I lifted up my shirt and showed him my obliques. I may not have a 6-pack but I am confident that my obliques (side abs) are nothing to joke about, thanks... hahaha.

9. What was anticipated to be a simple stop at Lotte Mart for milk turned into quite the scene. Leave it to Snickers to jump to the challenge of the $3 dollar apple bag deal they were hosting. For $3 they give you a bag and you’re allowed to cramp in as many apples as you possibly can as long as you can fasten the bag closed after. Most people got 7 apples but Snickers proudly walked away with 9. He must have packed and repacked that bag a good ten times… hahaha.

10. Not too fond of the Building Tool but her husband is cool and I’ve won the attention and approval of her 10 year old son when I pretended to attack him in the stairwell tonight. The husband seems to like Mi Nam and today he joined me up on the roof top patio to chat. For the son’s sake, I’m hoping the he scored his brains from his father. Not too sure where he scored the idea to get only part of his front bangs bleached though, they look rather strange but he seems like a cool kid.
