Personal training status update
It's been a week since my training program has begun, and so far I've gained approximately 5 lbs. I'm pretty sure they are all water weight though since he is having me take the apex volumnizer to gain muscle mass.
He has had me done pushups, sit ups, back and leg exercises so far. I've been sooooooooo sore. Today I can barely walk today and my hamstrings are KILLING me. ARGH!
As for food intake, I've been trying to eat 4000 calories a day. This is actually very hard to do. I almost wanted to throw up staring at all the food I had on my plate during lunch today. I think I need a cheat day or something where I can just go and eat ice cream, french fries and all that good stuff.
I haven't noticed any changes in terms of my appearance except that my stomach seems to be getting bigger and bigger. The trainer said it's normal since he's having me eat so much in an effort to gain 10lbs of muscles in 6 weeks. Let's hope he's right on this. Otherwise, I'll be fatter than ever!
More update later.

My birthday surprise
As stated in my previous blog, Anita surprised me on my birthday by decorating the whole place with balloons when I got home. Here are some of the pictures:

Let the training begin!
I blogged earlier this year that I would start working out and lose 20lbs in six months. Well, after almost three months, I have only gone to the gym once. My weight remains at 175lbs and my bodyfat % remains at 21%. Not good.
So I decided to turn this whole thing around by getting a fitness assessment today at 24 hour fitness. He said that he could increase my muscle mass and lower my body fat % down to 12% in 6 weeks while keeping my weight at around 175lbs. All I needed to do was hit the gym 3 days a week and ate good foods for the next 6 weeks.
"That sounds great!" I said. Thats when he went on and told me that I should get the 20 session package which would cost $1100 total. Since I have been making no progress at all without a personal trainer, I decided that this might be well worth it if it works.
My first session starts this Friday. So I should be done with the program by early May. Just in time for the beach! Woohoo!

My Best 14th Birthday
I had the best birthday of my life yesterday! I came in to work and realized they had decorated the entire cafeteria and other places with St. Patrick's day theme. After having lunch there and listening to irish leprechaun music, I did a little bit of work and then went down again to have some really bitter green beer.
When I got back home, Anita surprised me by decorating the entire condo with balloons and irish clover leaves. On top of that, she also got me a green birthday cake!
Then comes the birthday party at Miyakes. They made us wait for over 1.5 hours before getting us seated, so we first spent some time across the street at Rudy's, an irish pub that was pretty packed for a Friday. Anita tied a green balloon on me so it was funny watching me walk around with this balloon following me. Some girl at the bar came up t ome and she's like "Oh it's my friend's birthday and I was wondering if I could have your balloon?" I was like "hell no! It's my birthday too! And my name is Patrick!"
Miyakes was so much fun. I lost track of how many sake bombs we did. I think the wait was well worth it. I was feeling ok the entire time until Ming made me chug a big bottle of beer with him! that just totally killed me.
After dinner some of us headed over to Blue Chalk for some good music/dancin'. I seriously don't remember ANYTHING there.
Thank you all for coming to my Birthday. It really was the best birthday celebration I've ever had!
I will post pictures later.

You know you have made it to the big time when google decides to change their logo for your birthday!
To celebrate my 14th birthday, a bunch of us are heading over to downtown Palo Alto to get some Miyakes for dinner, followed by bar hopping around the area. One sad thing that I need to mention, is that I have never worn anything green on my birthday! Shameful, don't you think?

This explains SO MUCH
I learned a new logic today.
When you think of it...
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. Naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of alcohol eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
...and that's why you always feel smarter after a few drinks!

CNN: Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed
So, if you're deaf, why would you want to walk around train tracks?

Wild accidents at Russia's Tunnel
This video camera that's mounted inside the tunnel has captured many crazy accidents that's happened in the past. The one that I'm particularly confused is the one at 0:57, where one truck hits the wall, and then it becomes two trucks. My coworkers and I can't quite figured out how that happened.

Hungry!
Just got back from MJ's 40 year old bday and I'm so hungry. I took out this instant cup-o-noodle and realized that it's not really instant. So far it's taken me 5 minutes to boil the water, 1 minute to pour the water into the cup, and now there's still 3 more minutes before I can eat this stupid thing. Why can't someone make it more instnat than that? Sigh...

Microsoft Claims Best Search Engine coming in 6 months
Microsoft yesterday said they would have the best search engine in six months. This is funny because I remember reading something similar to that six months ago, too.
Now, I'm not saying that they are bluffing. Microsoft is very capable of doing and executing things very well. According to a reader from slashdot, some stolen code from Microsoft's next big search engine looks something like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Microsoft Search Engine</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.google.com/>
</head>
<body>
Wher e do you want to go today?
