QQQ!!! Seems like we're almost there now

Oh yeah, a bit of soreness after the day's work I can handle. I'm referring to how my back was killing me everytime after a workout. Like I said, I was overworking myself but also the fact I'd started powerlifting without even having a well-developed base (I never actually trained sqauts before I started lifting) that worked against me. Not this time tho :33

Nah, I finished all my work. Now I'm just biding my time

Let's just say I'm stuck in the office right now

Yeah. Overloading the body is not good. I was hoping I'd be able to lift on the same level as a pro by the end of last year but my body couldn't take much more after a while so now I'm focusing on smaller gains over a longer period so that the strength increments can stick without me having to suffer pain and soreness all the time. I'd add weight to my lifts just about every week and now I'm seeing how much of a mistake that had been. I should've known considering when I was using circuit weight machines in my swimming days, strength gains I experienced back then stuck for many more years to come.

I do but can't play them atm

Games are what I want to play right now v_v

I can relate to not finding things interesting anymore when you're doing the same after a while. Part of the reason I never actually took the commitment to any martial arts classes is because of the technicalities involved. I personally don't like that aspect the way others would do perhaps. I want to get a feel of how much progress I'm making myself rather than always having that sense of uncertainty, which is why I can stick to some things but not others.

It looked like you were pretty neutral toward the acting and modeling group aside from not liking the guys because they were competition, which I think could have played into your negative reception toward the group but I'm just theorizing. What is it that made you leave? I normally find that I leave if it inconveniences me in some way or simply doesn't satisfy me the way I expected it to. I tried tons of martial arts taster sessions in the past and I developed a lot of knowledge on it, but doing it just never really seemed to satisfy me the way other sports did, particularly lifting and swimming.

The first anime I can remember ever watching were Sailor Moon and Lupin III tho I never actually realized they were anime until much later, seeing as the medium Freedan junior did not know the difference between anime and cartoons way back when. But after a traumatic experience involving some parental bashing, I refused to watch any of it until I came out of my shell with this: I was back in Italy for the summer after my first year in Saudi. The year didn't go so well for me. My first time in a new country, still being bullied by everyone, poor grades, and what looked like a hopeless endeavor to get fit by joining the swim team. That's when I chanced upon what I think is to this day one of the most epic fight scenes in anime history. Goku vs Frieza. I continued watching Dragonball Z after that, and it served to me as an inspiration to grow, to become stronger. My second year at school in Saudi (mind you, I didn't go to a Saudi school but a british international school) was much better. By the end, I was the top swimmer in the team save for one other, I gained respect from those who bullied me before by showing I am worth something, and my grades improved tenfold. Dragonball Z wasn't simply the first anime I watched (whilst aware of it being an anime at least). It was my childhood.

I work as a data analyst measuring broadband performance for various big clients around the world (won't give any names tho ). My main task is to examine the data for any anomalies and identify trends, then writing reports for those clients in ways that are more understandable for those who're less tech savvy. I can easily say this is the best job I've ever had. Telecommunications and IT industry beat finance industry any day of the millennium. My previous jobs were within the latter.

I am enjoying powerlifting so far. I started it last year but I stopped it because I felt that I was working my body too much and I realize now part of the reason is because I may not have been applying proper warm ups and cool downs before working full weight sets. I'm starting to get back into it and finding I've been feeling much much better as a result. That said, I do plan on being more careful and definitely doing more cardio work than the last time.

Nope. Consequence or no consequence, killing is plain wrong. No one, for any reason, has the right to judge another life as inferior to their own. Especially for money.
