Failed my Save vs Spell: Civilization IV

Slept late again because I failed my save. Civ is really insidiously designed.

I've been drinking 3 cups of Vietnamese Coffee in the morning in the past two days. It has that sickeningly sweet smell that makes me want to puke, and it takes a measure of willpower to stop myself. I can't wait till I finish it and move on to the regular local blend.

Now, i remember why I prefer expresso shots: 2 onces ad 150 mg of caffeine. compared to 3 cups for that 400 ish mg of caffeine. I bursting full of fluids in the morning. I also have my 2 glasses just to push down the Cilium fiber supplament that also makes me want to hurl.

Wake Up
Make Coffee 5mins
Force Down 2 glasses of 2 tblsp of Cilium
15-30mins later: Eat Bfast and wash it down with 3+ cups sweetend and Iced Coffee. I can't the coffee by itself on-account of the acid. (150kcal from the sugar)

Around night time, when all my mental reserve is spent I'm my compulsions are much harder to resist. GURPS-wise its a -3 to resist stuff that would keep my mind busy and entertained: writing about games, blogging and surfing.

This time I slept at 2am :(

I wasn't able to work out. Damn it.

On the upside, I was able to wake up earlier today and got to work 30mins earlier than usual. Too bad I can't hotsync my old treo680. Its really weird the damn thing just fails to sync up.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,...

Learning my own Habits outside my bubble while in HK

I only eat 1.5 meals a day. Now I'm eating 3-4 meals per day in HK I realized I killed my hunger with latte (both tea, coffee and coffee-tea). So I'm super bloating and I realize how I was able to keep my eating stable. Now I have to cut back to the old and work out again. But this time  know what I'm trying to achieve. I need bring my glycogen to down through exercise, before my hunger cycle (2-3 hours). What I used to do is take my lattes where there would be meals and I avoided a very big hunger level. I would have a meal of sorts, maybe at night when its family time (not ideal but for social reasons). I also rationed through protein shakes. Of course the amount of lactose in my diet made me go regularly. If I were to travel again, I have to maintain this ritual through cereal bars and canned coffee, and accessibility to the toilet.  I realize I have a limited endurance because of the need to pee and how hard it is to find a toilet in HK lolz. Building a schedule ar...

Exercise Progress

I'm trying to build up my running, with the goal of being able to endure 15kph (Move-8 in gurps) for about 3 hours. The method I want to achieve is through sprinting most of the time and walking. So far I can do 3mi or 4.8 in 30 minutes. I have to more than double that. I have to ideally be able to do in 30 minutes of exercise 8km or 5mi consistently every other day. Then from there build up my core by running with a kit moviing from 5lbs to 16lbs. What I learned that it takes bone strength be able to run, so it has a strong element of strength in the task. You may have the endurance and will, but more often you will damage your own legs and ruin the pace of exercise with an extended rest. being 34 doesnt help, bones are weaker from a life behind the desk and joints are more calcified. It will take time and conditioning to build it up. Probably 2 years of faithful and devoted running. Then after the 2 years probably raise the kit weight. I'll be 38 or...
