Goal #10 Try vegetarianism for a month (happening right now) This is happening right now! Feburary, 2013 is THE month. Of course I would pick the shortest month in a non-leap year to try this, despite many friends telling me to pick a summer month to get better and more variety of vegetables. I grew […]

Splits progress 2013-1-20
Goal # 37 – Be able to do splits. At the new year yoga retreat, when I was practicing yoga 3 hours a day, I could really sense some progress. But I admit I have been slacking off a bit lately, at least in terms of stretching. It is difficult when you have to work full […]
Splits progress
The progress up to this point (12/12/2012) is “subtle”, and I must confess that I hadn’t worked on this pose much in the past month or so. Instead, I spent most of my stretching time on hip-opening stretches like single and double pigeon poses, and half lotus. Hanuman is a super intense pose for me, […]
Goal #28: Give money to RadioLab
I always make sure that I have several RadioLab podcasts on my ipod whenever I have to drive long distance. While listening to music is fine for a couple of hours, a RadioLab episode can make the journey seem so much shorter. For those of you who don’t know, Radiolab is a radio program produced by WNYC, […]
Goal #38 – Revamp Wardrobe (Phase 2): Shirts. 153 of them.
After trying on 32 pairs of pants in phase 1 of revamping my wardrobe, this time is “shirts” day. All kinds of shirts (button down shirts, polo shirts, T-shirts, undershirts, long sleeves shirts, workout shirts, football jerseys, etc.) will be evaluated today. The good thing is, unlike pants, there is no need to try on every […]
Goal #38 – Completely revamp my wardrobe – Phase 1
I am moving to a new apartment in less than a month’s time. Just thinking about all the packing, moving, and unpacking makes me want to throw everything away and start fresh at my new place. With this mindset, I decided that this would be a good time to begin the revamping my wardrobe project. […]
A lighter, healthier me
“It’s easy to quit smoking. I’ve done it hundreds of times.” ~~ Mark Twain I quit smoking on February 27th, 2007. It was probably the toughest thing I have ever done. It was also a turning point in my life. Not only did I got rid of a nasty and expensive habit, I actually accomplished something […]
Travel & Visit 50 States
When I was trying to come up with my 45 things, I looked at a lot of other people’s bucket lists online. Invariably, traveling is on almost every list. Judging by this, it seems that everyone has this desire to explore the world. However, I have met plenty of people in real life who have […]
The project officially begins!
It official. The project (About the Project page) begins right here, right now. I’ve been telling my friends (and pretty much anyone whom I could corner for any period of time) about this 45 before 45 project. The idea is to accomplish 45 things before I turn 45 years old (Here is the list of […]
