Omnivore's Dilemma

Time flies. The past few months I been learning to cope with my torrent of emotions. Grasping the reality of this planet, trying to understand it from within. I am surrounded by a majority of indifference to the earth, animals and women. Is living cohesively with the environment so hard? Does mere convenience of not wasting your own plate worth another plastic plate being thrown away after one use? Viewing these wastefulness just adds to my everyday torrent of emotions. Can't we treat everything with a bit of respect? Living and non-living? The Earth is dead to many, but I feel her presence all the time.

Understanding this world is a hard journey. The acceptance is harder. I'm like a fish out of water all the time. After reading part of Michael Pollan's Omnivore's dilemma makes it even harder. We are growing the human population at the expense of other living species. Systematic killing and torture of animals for food. Youtube and Michael Pollan destroyed my little fairy world and showed me where my food really came from.

I now truely believe I will be damned for consuming anymore flesh of the tortured. Imagine calves being forced to grow into adults within a year of being born, castrated without painkillers, injected with antibiotics because it's holding pen is too filthy to be disease-free, slaugthered just before it dies of feed-poisoning. An animal can only eat unnatural animal feed for only few months. Singapore imports most of it's food... sadly.

I have nothing against eating meat, I just can't eat meat produce in such a unnatural manner. Indeed, I am having an Omnivore's Dilemma... a serious one.

Trekking in Nepal - Excercise

2009 ! I'm 26 years old! I have no new resolutions!
Instead, I pulled out a few of my childrenhood dreams that has long been at the back of my mind.
1) To go trek Nepal
2) To go trek Nepal
3) To go trek Nepal
It has been pretty much the same dream since teenager years. So much to do with so little time ! I bought a Lonely planet book called Trekking in Nepal. The culture there is so foreign and it's just makes me even more excited. And so I started a little bit of planning and in the meantime, physically training my body, building up my muscles in preparation. My stamina has always been excellent, but there's always the strength issue, so I'm gonna pile on more muscle and reduce my fat. I talked to Lisa, my trekking veteran friend , she told me to be physically fit, because being weak and getting sick is the last thing you want to be in Nepal. The stronger you are, the more you will enjoy the trip. It's been a while since I did a trek in high altitude, this is gonna be exciting! So I gonna start out with yoga in the beginning of the week and weights in mid week , then some running in the weekends whenever I can.
