Even in the real world, everyone deserves a break

No matter if your big or small, tall or short, everyone enjoys taking a break after a hard day's work. After all, we're humans, not perfect machines. However, taking a break doesn't simply mean lying in bed eating junk food and watching TV all day like a couch potato. We all would go out and submerge ourselves in the things we enjoy doing.

Was I supposed to be leaning on this?

Who could ever live, well, nowadays to be precise, without even having a computer? In recent decades, science and technology and advanced so much that it drives economies, builds the world's tallest structures, and powers our day to day living. I admit that the first thing I do when I get home is turn on my computer and click on all my bookmarks to check on things like mail, latest news and school-related stuff. Everything I do usually has to involve the some form of technology and not traditional elbow grease.

You are what you eat, and as you can see from my somewhat hefty exterior, I simply savor every bite I take. Every time there's a cooking show or other program on the TV that's about food, my mouth waters and craves for it, and to top it off, I am the adventurous type when I comes to sampling strange culinary creations including foie gras (goose liver), caviar (sturgeon eggs) and escargot (believe it or not, snails!). From fresh, frozen, fast food to the ultimate in fine dining, nothing has ever failed to satisfy my palate. Yes, you could say I do have an eating problem, that is, eating a bit too much for my own health.

No doubt about it, my absolute favorite ever since is Math and Science (I apologize to my English teacher who is reading this). I have often been geared towards learning more about numbers and the worlds around us. Because of this, I have always wanted to become a doctor, and influenced by the whole of my father's side, who by the way, are all doctors, I soon came to the realization that I too would become an MD.

Though many consider bowling as a pastime rather than a sport, it still requires great control, accuracy and endurance like may others would need. Since I was young, my parents have been joining their alumni leagues, and because they were on weekends, I would always tag along. Somehow I got interested in this sport and sooner or later I began to play myself. I am now in my fourth year of being in the Xavier Bowling Varsity Team and loving every second of it.

Due to the fact that my father is a doctor, he frequently attends medical conventions and symposiums around the world. Not missing the chance, he also brings the whole family to where he's going. From the far depths of the Baltic and Mediterranean Sea to the land down under, I have been to most of the world's major cities like SIngapore, Seoul, Shanghai, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Sydney, Paris, Rome, Venice, Athens, Oslo, Stockholm, St. Petersburg and many others.

Hahaha! No need to apologize for having Math and Science as your favorites. My favorite class in high school was also Math. Hahaha! Anyway, I really enjoyed this tabblo. The information here is more than adequate. I think you have many things to share especially because you're been to many places.

Since I think this tabblo is good enough, let's see what the tabblo community would think of this. You can set the PRIVACY settings to PUBLIC.

Enjoy your day! :)

Thank you very much sir! I will admit that I also like reading books, especially The Solitare Mystery. I've finished it and I have to say it was a really, really, really great novel. Now I understand why you read it four times :)
