高雄

it's been a while since people have told me i look thinner.  i've been consistently putting on weight the past 5 years and more drastically the past 30 months.  i guess all it took was 2.5 weeks of triathlon training and a breakup for me to want to better myself.  taking control of your life starts with the more tangible things, like physical appearance of cleaning your room.  that's how i start, and that's how its been the past few weeks.  lighter, better, obsessed.  it's tough to go through hard times when you're alone.  i feel like i've been going through the past 2 years alone...partially from the distance...but also a lot has to do with myself holing up and not letting anyone in.  embarrassed of the outcome...or not wanting to speak too soon...not wanting to cry wolf...or not wanting to jinx it....either way...i just wanted to ride out the situation and didnt spend the time sharing for those issues....and in hindsight its stupid because friends and family is what i dearly needed...

i spent a few days in kaoshiong, hanging at the office.   going to 台南。。。where the food is absolutely incredible.  tainan is the real south.  a bit more local.  and streets and streets of local food...cheap and delicious.  金得春卷。。。it's a bit sweet...but the veges are crisp and the 潤餅春卷 is pretty tasty with nice shrimp....and then the 小圈米粉 。。。really looked like nothing at first.   i was wondering...wtf is kent taking me to eat cuz it looks so plain.  but the first taste of the soup and you're like WHOA....a sweet seafood broth...with fresh squid.  so simple yet so good.

i was supposed to head back on tuesday night.  but with dinner at smokey joes with christian and alexia....that turned into more drinks at 屋頂。 it's always great to catch up with them.  and so i stayed an extra half day....cuz i missed the last train...kkk...

i miss didi!!!
