So it’s has been a year and a half since I last serious worked on this blog. Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised to see the number of visitors increase steadily. I have graduated from college, found my first job in finance, and enjoyed a serious long-term relationship. Sounds as though I have added [...]
So you may have realized that I have not been posting regularly lately. To be specific, I am three posts below schedule, and I haven’t posted anything for a week now. I will give you my excuses later, but first, some updates: I am still on my cutting-fat phase I have cut 7 pounds in [...]

PART ONE. I was always very skinny. Since the moment I became conscious of myself and everyone around me, the common theme has been ridicules from people towards my pathetic bony frame. Even to the other skinny Vietnamese, I was always the skinniest. Emancipated if you will. Like everyone else, I picked up working out [...]
This was my meal plan for three months this summer (2009). I gained 16 pounds (at least 13 pounds of which were muscle) in 12 weeks with this plan. I had an internship for the whole summer, so these meals all catered to that. Also, note that this plan is very specific to me. Read [...]
Here are the 4 supplements that I use daily: 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard. It tastes great. Not too sweet, which makes you wanna throw up after drinking for a while. When I say great taste, I don’t mean it tastes like milk shake. If you want something that tastes as good as milk shake [...]
