Recent Readings

I believe that a regular reading (on any subject) is a very good habit for an affulent life. Nevertheless, it's very difficult to make (a comfortable) time to read in real life with many excuses. Especially for a normal salary man like me. For example, I get up at 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning and begin to work after one-hour FAT-BURN job. In the evening, I arrive at home at 8:30 or 9:00 if I don't have any appointment and then go to bed with kids together and usually read out loudly one or two childrenbook till the kids(actually the first son) get asleep. Then in the 10:30 pm roughly, I can make some time for reading if I don't get asleep with kids *luckily*.
Otherwise, commute bus ridings or lunch time gives the another chance to do it.
(Anyway doing something regulary is really hard regardless of my laziness..)

These days I'm reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy(by D. Adams) and 4 Weeks Body Revolution(by DK Han). And recently I read the Broker(by J. Grisham) and Boy:the tales of childhood(by R.Dahl)


I'm starting the Hitchhiker's Guide weeks ago, but feeling some difficulties to fully understand it at once and quite slowly going forward though I really like this kind of SF books like the foundation series. It is due to its unaccustmed and unfamiliar style, voca and method for story unfolding. I've never read his books before. And possibly due to lack of time.
But it's fun anyway in using Encyclopedia Galactica(without courtesy? he). The imagination, satire, and metaphor is impressing.


The Body Revoltion is a nice weight training guide book and I' m reading it shortly on bed though I'm not following the instructions it gives. What I've learned from it is that an over-training is not an exercise or practice at all and a pain( from over-training) is just a pain. Totally agree that. I think it's useful for my current FAT-BURN program.


The Broker. I was waiting till the price was down for almost a year, bought it in the late February and read it quite quickly. The thrilling story like other Grisham's books was fine but I felt the storyborad in the last few chapters was not sufficient: the tension thoughout the story was relieved too quickly.



Dahl's boy was an interesting book with his own childhood memories and episodes. Quite funny and easy to read. I liked his style, particulary, simple and vivid. And I was enjoying finding hints from the episodes for his other books like Chocorate Factory.

Spring!

A lot of Yellow sand, surpring cold days, and even hails in April.
In addition, the temperature of the place I'm living in is usually lower(as much as 2 degree celcius) than others, I couldn't feel the spring in heart so far.
Magnolias and cherry blossoms are flowering at last. Yeah, it's spring!





The last picture is the Inwangsan view from the balcony.

Burn, burn, burn! Oh! My Poor Fat!

Months ago, I'd met stone and clockwiz-the only this blog's readers-and talked about what the age, to get older and heaths were. They were common-usual topics at our age. Then, stone and clockwiz had told about their efforts-swimming and running- and the benefits of regular exercises.
Well, sobriety, good physical conditions, and stress managements. Those were the main drivers of everyday-time consuming-hard-exercises. Anyway at that time, though I was worring about my increasing weight and thick fat on stomack, I did never mind their advise. Because the everyday exercise meant the obviously hard and time-consuming work to me, I though.

Mind Changed two months ago. A human being is an economical animal if he doesn't have enough money to squander for his pleasure.

In the far end of the last winter, I found I might have to buy a couple of new clothes if I kept my current weight and the body shape. Frankly, I was shocked when I found most of spring-summer suites in the closet were too small to wear. There's no way except having slimmer body for not spending the real "extra" money. Thus, I made my mind to lose my weight. It was about two months ago.

Four or five times 40-munites running a week as well as 15-munites weight training for chest and belly for two months. And finally I took away about 5 kg from the terrible weight without any diet. And hopefully, a possibility to wear the old clothes one more season!

The goal at the moment is to lose more as much as 5 kg in two months. And this time, I consider some kind of diet.
