Heavy snow forecast today in Tokyo. After work, I head to the gym and was greeted by snow right by my doorstep. The kid in me was happy. The ground was enveloped with soft white fluff that made me giddy

So starting this week, I’ll be busy with all sorts of travel related stuff. Meeting friends and all, all on weekends. As some know, I like to make bread and I don’t think I’ll have time for it with my

Finally back on track. The lack of sleep last week has taken a toll on my body and was too tired to do just about anything. And I was pretty much holed up in my room since Sunday evening, except for Thursday

Hi! Hello! 👋 It’s late, but today I had dinner with people from work. Well more like a team dinner. This is our first get together this year. We held it late because one of our team members went for a

Hi! Hello! 👋 Welcome to another blog post of my Diary of An Apple blog series. Today's Diary So today's diary is kind of a life update and plans for this year, I thought I'd put this as an entry for Hive

Lazy cooking for a lazy person. Pork ribs.

Got woken up by a stronger-than-usual earthquake yesterday morning. I was trying to catch up with sleep from the previous day but unfortunately couldn’t get any more sleep after that mini heart attack.

It has been a long time since I trained my back. Deadlifts partly hit the back too so I purposely removed back workouts since last year. But since I only did RDLs on saturday, I figured I’ll add a few

Day trip tour on new year's full eating and whatnot and whatnot. Strawberries, Crabs, Tofu, and Illumination.

Yakiimo is one of my favorite food to eat during winter season. I sometimes don't get to buy it from the grocery store so I make them myself at home. Tip: wrapping the sweet potato with wet paper towel

Took morning off from work yesterday. Was feeling under the weather but I decided to go the gym to unwind. I added 1 shot of espresso to my protein drink to help me get through the day. It was my first

When I went for a vacation back home last year, it has been my escape away from the busy and somewhat interesting life I am currently living. The differnce between city life and province life has me thinking

Went to the gym feeling the same as usual yesterday but I was taken aback when I was lifting. It’s a leg day and first on my list is to deadlift. On my 2nd set I was already struggling. Then on the 3rd

This is kind of a longer actifit post than usual. Yesterday we had another get together at my place with the same group of friends. You may have probably seen their actifit posts already 😆 But here is
