a lazy day in the neighbourhood

well on to the second post, im on a roll. i am being extremely lazy today, i slept till just after 10 am this morning when the people who clean my house/room (every wednesday and saturday) knocked on my door asking to clean it. i was okay with waking up though not extremely thrilled about it so i got up and did my normal morning getting ready stuff. i prepared some delicious outmeal with yogurt and pinapple, along with my normal banana and peanut butter. then lazy me after the housekeepers had left made the mistake of laying back down on his bed for a quick "second". then when 1 o'clock rolled around i woke up again and made myself get out of bed. fat me then decided since it was lunch time to make some more food. so after one mr.noodle type package, some boiled water, a can of tuna, a couple pieces of bread, a orange, a glass of milk and a banana muffin with honey on it i was done eating...for now. i go into detail about what and how much ive been eating just to prepare people for the possibility of me coming home a little heavier than when i left even though i am working out so much here. ill describe everything i do for working out on a regular occasion on another day just so my eating schedule sinks in a little more.

now i am not entirely just a lazy person and have an excuse why i slept so late. last night some people were going out cause it was there last day here and i didn't end up coming home until 5am. and since i wasn't really in the mood to drink as everyone else was i was mearly surviving on redbull to keep me going...7 cans later i wasn't even that tired when i came home at 5. plus i had just piged out (what i suprise) on some street food before i had come home so my state of being so full on greasy meat on a stick wasn't making me that tired either. so yah...it wasn't my fault for being so tired today...or something like that.

my shoulder is still sore from yesturday and since i never made it to get a thai massage then i think i will be leaving to do so very shortly. yesturday i ended up going to the beach for the afternoon instead and got to soak up some sun and play in the waves some more, which is always great though left my shoulder not feeling any better...an exchange i was still happy to make. tonight i think im going to continue the lazy streak and just watch some movies with friends, though not just cause im lazy...i spent a bit of money yesturday due to having to pay a rediculous cover on some of the clubs we went to and paying for taxi rides and of course paying for a bunch of food too (though we went to a real nice mexican restaurant last night that was extremely delicious) so tonight i need a cheap activity to make up for that.

well like i said, it is getting to that thai massage time. in my defence also of being lazy, i do have to ride my bike most places i go since that is my only means of transportation (unless i want to pay money for a taxi), so yah...i am getting some excersize today. until next time...

everything must have a beggining

well i thought id try this blogging thing and today is always a good day to start something. today im actually a little battered so i think i might be starting my weekend a bit early. it is already friday afternoon here so it isn't that early though. for some reason my right shoulder (the muscle) is really sore so punching and blocking with that side isn't really an option and after a morning class of doing nothing but jabs, kicks and getting punched in the head (i wasn't really doing to well in sparring today) i think im going to get a thai massage and see if anyone wants to hit the beach with me. tonight there is a fight so it might just be a lazy afternoon and then go to the fights tonight and then beach tommorow and sunday...i know i live a rough life.

so far travelling has been pretty good, i wanted this trip to have more of a "living here" feeling to it and i think i have almost accomplished that. at first i wasn't sure if i actually liked it cause i didn't really do much and i was always tired but now that im in kind of a schedule of sorts it is actually really good. home sick is kind of wearing off though doing some facebook wall creeping and reading blogs makes that feeling of missing out come a bit. but this is what i want and choose so im loving it.

im staying at a shared house about a 10 minute bike ride away from camp (tiger muay thai and mma boxing camp). there are three rooms there, a kitchen and a living room with a tv/dvd player. we don't have cable which makes for some boring afternoons but encourages working out which is good (since that is what i here for). i got the luxury room cause i have a/c and my own private bathroom. right now im living with a guy from boston (dan) and a empty room cause mikei (or mika or something like that) just left for australia, though she is originally from belgium. dan is moving out today though to move to a closer, cheaper room so i don't know who they are going to put me with next. i finally have a fullish fridge and cupboard cause i went shopping yesturday. i spent a bunch of money but it should help me save in the long haul.

well im hungry so ill write more of what im doing/have done later
