Well, first of all I do think I need to thank Knoizki, for posting a comment on my blog thus reminding me that I do actually still keep a blog, no matter how crappy it was. My life is quite for some reason, busy this past few weeks. Sadly I can't seem to pinpoint on what made it so, could be the fact that Aaron came back and we spend about 2 days being out with him, could be the time spent with Yin or simply came down to the fact that I have a serious case of short term-memory.
Perhaps it's just me, but been in the position of not having a talk with aileen for a week or so now made me miss her. Though I've found a good replacement in CM 01/02, still...
But the main reason for this post is not my ranting, rather a promise I made to Knoizki, that I'd do my part in this. So here we go with the questions and answers.
What are the things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play?
A nice movie or a good album. Though I gather you've already known by now, I'm pretty much a loner. While I enjoy a good night out with my friends, I have no problem being all alone in my place, providing there a good movie or a good album for me to enjoy.
I've starting to enjoy a good workout as well, though I'm still struggling to adapt to a good weight lifting programme, I've come to enjoy a 20 min run on the threadmill or some of the classes offered at the gym. Another thing I've return to love is reading. While the lack of a score to bring out the emotion and the lack of imagery to pound in an effect, reading provides it's own fun. A good book would amaze you with its use of language and the imagination derived from a scene is at times better than the same story made into a movie. Watch out for Hank's role in DaVinci Code to see what I mean :)
What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it in your journal.
Well, it seems the easiest part of the questions might be the hardest in the first place :D Anyway, here goes:-
Phew, work done then :)

- MUSIC! Jazz in particular. I can almost swear that no matter what the problem is, listening to Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' or Dave Brubeck's 'Time Out' never fails to lift me up and calms me down. It might looks silly or weird to others, but to me it's the best genre in music.
- Sauna after running :D .... I do think this is weird to some, but it's one of the best place where things are forgotten. The heat, the sweat and the simple silence offered by it makes it a good place for me to simply cool down, ironically in a place where you heat up ;)
- Chats.... another one of those ironic things. While most people rather stay away from humanity, I don't see the problem of being near a good one if it helps me. But generally people don't really know whether I'm stressed or not in the first place, so it never helps much :p
- Laughter.... I'm a sucker for laughs and I'm quite easily amused at times. I've been known to laugh at silly jokes posted at bash.org all the way till the subtle jokes in Royal Tenenbaums.
Well, it seems the easiest part of the questions might be the hardest in the first place :D Anyway, here goes:-
Phew, work done then :)

Aha! A JAZZY affecionado! But never heard of Dave Brubecks. I see you're enjoying the simple things in life besides there's no word as being lonely when we enjoy the quietness alone or stay in place to stress-out in a sauna.
Thanks Fuz for abiding the request.

No probs, knoizki :)
Always glad to be a part of something that challenges your mind, even if it's for just a few moments...

I'm searching for Dave Brubecks. LOL I can't seem to locate a free mp3 for this.

It's Dave Brubeck, K ;)
And if you want some of his MP3s, you can always add me on msn and I'd send you from there :)
