My weight is a funny little creature with a mind of its’ own. When I was young, I used to swimming and participate in gymnastics competitively. As a result I formed the bad habit of eating when I was bored; I just did it as something to past the time. I feel kind of bad for how much of my parents money would have been wasted on this silly habit. Because I was exercising so often I just never put on weight.
After four years, I stopped swimming and stopped Gymnastics. I would still play basketball, but then it happened. I was getting bigger, my six pack started to disappear my jaw line was less defined, and my chins were multiplying.
To this day I still find the compulsion to eat while I am bored. (more…)

As I prepare to head off to Vietnam, I have scoured handfuls of lists of what to pack. So I decided to combine the lists I found and add some of my personal recommendations for what your back pack should contain.
Pack light. No, lighter!
If you are back packing, or planning on doing a lot of shopping whilst traveling – You must pack light! You will pick up trinkets here and there along the way and most countries have kitchen sinks so there is no need to bring your own. You should travel with your pack only half full if you intend to spend over one month abroad. Everything you need for your new climate will most likely be available at local markets and in most cases, a lot cheaper. (more…)
