First Week back to Reality

It's been too long since I wrote on my blog, which btw gets linked to facebook. So if you see this on facebook, that's why. People tell me I should write more... So here I am writing.

I came back from Taiwan about a week ago, feeling completely exhausted from seeing all those friends and family but already longing for my next visit home. I miss those guys already... So that's what it feels like to be hammered back to reality... I could write about what exactly I did in Taiwan to make it so memorable, which would definitely be worth recording as it was one intense roller coaster ride: it was the most fun I've had in a while but over before I knew it... That will come later, though most likely in Chinese, sorry my English friends. Et pour mes amis qui parlent français, quoi!? Oui! Je me souviens de vous et vous me manquez toujours. Even now I wish I could be back home in Taiwan, but I know I've been put here for a purpose. It seems God wants me to focus on Him now more than ever, to once again go back to being the wide-eyed adventurer seeking truth. After Campus Church's worship night on Sunday, I'm even more sure.

In other news... I hit the gym on Thursday, and being the first time I worked out in almost four weeks, I found out I got tired really fast. Halfway through the third set for my chest workout, my muscles decided that they've had enough and completely gave out. Most people ease into their workout after an extended period of rest. Well not me! How dumb...
I only felt sore for about two days and I would've gone to the gym again if not for my chronic laziness. During my days of rest I played more than my fair share of video games, saving the world from the menace of both the Soviets and evil corporations. That's right, I'm awesome like that.

Apart from decimating evil people, I've been playing guitar. In fact, just today my friend Conan came over and we jammed for what felt like a really long time (big shout out to Tiff for her guitar). It really wasn't that long at all (2-3 hours?) but when you have two guitars, time gets distorted. Perhaps it playing that D-minor chord too much, but the pain actually got through my blisters. We played things like "I'm Yours", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Numb", "Canon in D", "梁山伯與茱麗葉", "Blessed be Your Name", "Lucky"... Speaking of "Lucky", that's a good song, I can relate to it well.
Go listen to it here on youtube.

My guitar is the one on the right.
