fall asleep outside watching the stars with someone i care about
toobing trip

fell asleep on a lawn chair – drunk and chatting it up with who would eventually become my very good friend biscuit.



lose some weight (read all 2 entries…)
mara-thin

training for a marathon, even around the holidays, really gets you into shape. i think i finally figured out how to curve cravings and count calories and watch my #’s w/o number overload. my biggest problem has always been over-eating. the solution to this is obvious – consume less calories and lose weight. problem is that i love eating. what i have to overcome on a daily basis is maintaining portion control. as much i like to stuff my face, i’ve become much better at the control. i still allow myself to go over board every once in a while, but not unless i’m running 15 miles the next day. this is one thing i love about endurance training – eating a ton of food is not only ok, but necessary sometimes. it’s a great pay-off for the hard training.



visit cambodia (read all 2 entries…)
greatest experience of my life thus far

i am Cambodian by my father. he is from Cambodia. on this trip, at 24 yrs old, i met my father’s family for the very first time. this was so much more significant and emotional and life-altering than i ever imagined it would be. not only this, but discovering another side of my roots. experiencing the culture. seeing the silhouette of Angkor Wat with my own eyes. playing with elephants. riding a moto-bike through muddy rice fields. sleeping under mosquito nets. getting the greatest tan ever. being welcomed with open arms and warmth and love by a family that i’ve never met and with so little to give. they gave me more than i could have asked for. i can’t wait to go back.
