Last Friday at the gym, a personal trainer approached me while I was working out. After a few awkward exchanges of Q & A I let him talk me into signing up for my free personal training session, which was scheduled for today.
OMG! Can I just tell you how sore I'm feeling right now? My session was probably for about 30 minutes and I feel like I worked out for hours. My legs, abs, and arms are all burning, but it feels so good. As a result, I let my personal trainer and the training manager talk me into enrolling in the personal training program. It's a little expensive, but honestly, if the trainer was not there I wouldn't push myself as hard. Also, there is something quite satisfying about being able to complete the work out regiments that the trainer sets. I truly feel like I accomplished something today.
Now I need to work on controlling the types of food I intake. I guess it won't kill me to cut my bread consumption in half. Well actually it might.

After work today I drove through downtown LA on my way to my grandma's house. While I was waiting at a red light I noticed an old grandma carrying a bag and an umbrella. She looked really anxious and she was waiving frantically at something across the street. I followed her eyes and see a bus across the street. The old woman was waiving for the bus driver to wait for her. I thought the bus driver would wait for her, but he didn't. I'm guessing he didn't see her because she was quite tiny or he just decided to leave her. If it was the latter, he'll probably burn in hell. 
There used be this small little ghetto Taiwanese restaurant that was located right next to the crowded Sam Woo BBQ restaurant within the Focus Plaza (or is it called President Square?) in San Gabriel that I had visited quite often throughout the summer for its yummy (and cheap) shaved iced. It was so delicious, almost as good as the shaved ice I had in Taiwan. This summer, however, the original owner sold the business. The new owners closed the restaurant for remodeling. Well it opened a few weeks ago and my friend and I decided to try out the new place. The restaurant is now called 甜蜜蜜 or Cool Spot. The decor is more modern and cute. The space is still quite small, but very interesting. I had never actually order any of the entrees from the old restaurant, but decided to try it out this time.
鹿鼎記 also known as the Duck House opened near about 5 minutes from my house about half a year ago. In the beginning, the place was completely empty. There were no cars in the parking lot and no customers. I thought at the time...hmmm...I wonder how long this restaurant is going to last. Little did I know the Duck House was originally located in San Gabriel and back then the place was always packed. So why so empty at this new location in Monterey Park? Nobody knew they moved. I guess when the owners realized this little bit of important info, they placed an ad in the newspaper announcing their relocation. Smart move. I wonder why they didn't think of that in the first place?
