I'm actually in the stage of saving money and buy my own place closer to work, or who knows, maybe in a couple years I may end up going to a closer company if this one drives me away

I'm not too afraid being too fat (the asian genes?), but more like the health risks associated with being fat, like heart failures and such.

One of my co-workers actually do this everyday during lunch time but if I ever do consider walking back and forth to the train station, then I might as well do that instead. I heard it's generally not a good idea to run on a full stomach (quote from my mom )

and seriously...haha, I recently bought this equipment that's suppose to help you do sit-ups (remember that ab machine that rocks back and forth, from tv?)......just because I can't do sit ups...I'm serious
