Too Many Fish In The Sea

Well, let’s see…lately during the last two weeks work volume has been pretty overwhelming for me. Because of the complexity of this program development that I had been working on, it made my two weeks fly by me so fast. In a way I’m glad that it did–I can finally get a sense of what else is going on outside my work world.

On top of that though surprisingly I had been able to go work out a lot more than usual. I don’t know…I suppose I had a little bit of taste of the hardwork and commitment I’ve been doing–losing weight–and I thought I’d test how far this commitment is going to take me, and fortunately I’ve seen a difference in my waist size and weight - not significant though but there’s some difference. Well, that made me more motivated in going to the gym and eating healthier faithfully everyday. I must admit though there are days - I mean days - that I sort of “Eh, Arby’s wouldn’t hurt anything!”…but I sense weight gain practically immediately. It’s amazing but I suppose when your system is already adjusted to the “healthy” way of consuming food, the body just doesn’t process it the same way. So I told myself, I can do this! Definitely can. I just need to stay on track but bend the rules every now and then.

In between last week and this past week I went out to TOWN with my good friend Gino and Tim, a friend whom I’ve known by face at TOWN for several months now. It turned out that Tim, 30, who is from Vietnam, is a member of AQUA (remember AQUA? I blogged this last week) and I was like “What!”. I’m like “Bitch! You should have told me! We could have to AQUA events together!” Well, actually I didn’t say that. I’m actually glad that he is a member so that I can have somebody I know without any special connection that I can go with and perhaps mingle with other Asian and Pacific Islander gay men in the Metro DC area. He introduced me to some of his friends, not to mention they were hot. Not because I don’t appreciate it meeting people that way, but I’d like to meet people in some other way as oppose to the typical online chat rooms or whatever. This time though I’d like to meet somebody to network professionally, socialize with while being associated with a group that has a good cause for gay Asian and Pacific Islanders. Quite frankly I would like to part-take what AQUA envision for the API and how I can contribute to their success. Not only to the organization itself but what I can do for people like myself. I just hope that this alternate way of socializing with people would work way better than typical.

As they say, too many fish in the sea! As long as I’m alive, I will keep my life surrounded with good people who has great ambitions and achieve a fulfilling life. Too many guys out there–I’m sure I’ll find the one for me.
