First off, it might start with updating this blog a little more often.  I’ve held onto this thing for over two months now and all I have are a few entries about mundane activities that seem to take over my current life.  How to be more interesting??  I came with a small list in my head on how to improve my life and become a better person.

1. Start exercising.  Yes.  I finally started going back to the gym after giving 24 hour fitness a free $48 within the past two months I did not go.  For shame!  I am back to my exercise regimen of hamstering it up on the elliptical machine for an hour.  I will eventually include strength training as well because I need to lose a more-than-pesky 30 lbs from my body.  My petite Asian frame does not accommodate rolls very well.  I still enjoy junk food but I am consuming substantially less than I had before.  Okay, maybe with the exception of this weekend during which I gluttoned with a few of my buddies at the kbbq festival and Pink’s and then some.  (so ashamed…)

2. Sign up for a community service/volunteer program.  I’ve decided that a lot too much of my free time spent is in my pajamas watching gilmore girls or playing tetris.  A person who is successful does not waste any time; everyone lives the same 24 hours per day but it is what they do with those hours that makes all the difference.  I signed up for BBBS (Big Brother, Big Sister) program based of out LA but I got rejected due to the program being over-capacity.  Nevertheless, I am undaunted and will re-apply within 6 months and try to get matched again.

3.  Go out more often.  I am blessed with friends who love to have a great time, those who I can count on when I am bored or down.  Kbbq festivals, pink’s, random Hollywood hills adventures have been among my recent experiences.  It’s always important to go out and have fun outside the confinement of an apartment.  I have also been reconnecting with friends from high school and beyond – those I have not seen for over 5-6 years.

The list grows on and on as I live my life and find ways to make it better.  When I was in high school and even in college, I saw my life as if I had already lived it.  The illusion that I would be in class for an indefinite time in my life.  But it isn’t so…and I am only realizing now that my life is completely unwritten and it’s up to me to guide the comings and goings of my daily activities.  It’s far more exciting than I had ever realized.
