2/1-9	Japan Trip (Part 1: Nagoya, Part 2: Tohoku, Part 3: Tokyo)

2/10	I could not sleep until 2:00am but had to get up at 5:00am anyway. Stretched my body then headed to work under heavy fog. I had sandwich I bought last night and the day passed quick. Left the office around 6:00pm and headed to LTF under rain for workout for one hour. Come home, turned up heater. Cooked spaghetti, curry and pork chops. Did two more loads of laundry, and uploaded some pictures then headed to bed at 0:30am.
2/11	I woke up at 5:00am, get ready for the day, stepping out under chilly weather. Must in lower 40s today. Spent whole day and left again around 6:00pm, Another rainy evening and good workout. Came home, cooked rice and finished on my laundry from the trip. Found ants in my lunch bag, as well as in my cloth... Going to bed by midnight tonight. I had to use heater over night again.
2/12	Woke up at 5:00am but somehow I stayed in the bed too long, stretched my body quick and headed to work under chilly sky in 30s. Stayed until 6:00pm then headed to LTF for workout for one hour. I had another good one and drove home. Kept the heater on all night and went to bed around 1:00am.
2/13	Woke up at 5:00am, managed to get out in time. When I stepped outside, I did not realized it was 31F low. The windshield was frosted so I had to heat up my car before get going. Stayed until 5:00pm then drove to Fleet Feet to pick up a packet for this weekend's half marathon. I then tried to drive to Memorial Park but took me nearly 50 minutes which was quite unusual. I hate traffic jam. I drove home after running 6 miles, stopped by at Jimmy John's for the dinner. Stayed up until midnight.
2/14	Woke up at 5:00am, drove to work on time. Since today has no production, spent whole day for maintenance and updating other materials. Finished around 4;30pm then headed to Bicycle World of Houston to buy a wetsuit for my upcoming triathlon. Come home, relaxed and got lazy on my dinner. Went to bed around 10:00pm but could not fall sleep until after midnight, as usual...
2/15	Woke up at 5:00am, I guess I did not get to sleep much last night. Headed to LTF for a short swim, then stopped by at Target before coming home. Worked on the webpage until 11:00am before heading to work. Cooked noodles then headed to the office. Stayed until 5:00pm then drove to storage to pick up my bike, and several grocery stores. Up until 10:00pm.
2/16	Woke up at 4:00am, stretched my body and get changed for running. Left home around 5:30am and headed to Galveston. It was about 1 hour drive and parked my car in a garage. Warmed up under breezy, overcast and a little chilly condition. The race began at 7:30am sharp and I ran 13.1mi in 1:50:02. It was my PR. I then drove to Lone Star Flight Museum to check out the place before heading back to Houston. Since I don't want to go home straight, I made stops at Gus Wortham golf course, old Harrisburg and former Ford Motor Company factory. Had lunch at Red Robin's by I-610 and I-10. Rested good for the entire afternoon. Since my left leg is bothering me, I stretched several times tonight. Going to bed around 11:00pm.

2/17	Woke up at 6:00am, I could stay sleep a little longer but did not want to miss an opportunity to get up. Stretched my body, headed to LTF for recovery workout for 30 minutes. I stopped by Best But to check out tablet PCs and also at Kroger for groceries. Come home, spent afternoon at home, updating my website. Stepped out around 6:30pm to meet with my friends to have dinner at Wa until 11:00pm. Come home, stayed up until 2:00am to adjust my body clock. The fun time is over and need to get back to my night shift life.
2/18	Woke up at 6:00am, went back to sleep and got up at 9:00am. Stretched my body, did a load of laundry. Had breakfast and lunch before leaving home at 2:30pm. Worked out for 30 minutes, stepping out warm outside which is cloudy and almost going to be raining. The temperature hit 80F today. Began my shift as usual.
2/19	Stayed until 4:45am, walked out to the night sky where moon shined between clouds. Woke up at 9:00am, the temperature already hitting 70F. Stayed at home until 2:00pm. Worked out for 1 hours and felt good. Drove to work and began my day. It was quiet but missed opportunity to eat dinner and breakfast. Why they always call me while I am on break?
2/20	Stayed at work until 4:45am again, today is another warm but more clouds in the sky as I was walking out from the plant. Come home after grabbing a milk at Kroger and went to bed. I got up around 10:00am. Stretched my body and cooked rice, heard some rain drops hitting windows around noon. Left around 2:30pm to the gym again. Drove under rain, and worked out for 30 minutes. When I stepped out from the building I hear thunderclap and also saw lightning on the way to work. The good thing is that the rain was over by the time when I get to the office and began my shift as usual. Another night missing both dinner and snack break...
2/21	Stayed at the office until 4:30am then drove home. Today was a little chilly compare to the last couple of days. Got up at 10:30am because of an appointment at a doctor. Had lunch, get ready for the day. Left home at 2:15pm so I get to workout for 1 hour before reporting to work. Began my day as usual.
2/22	Stayed at the office until 5:00am since I had to take care of last minutes item. Went to bed straight, woke up at 11:00am, drove to Museum of Natural Science in downtown, took nearly one hour to park, checked out a copy of Magne Carta. Worth the $25 admission (and $10 parking). Drove to Sundance Theater for Like Father, Like Son which is a Japanese movie won Jury Prize. After the movie is over, I walked up to the Hard Rock Cafe nearby. I finished up today with swimming 2,000yd before coming home. Stayed up until midnight then went to bed.
2/23	Woke up at 9:00am, stretched my body and headed to George Bush park for a bike ride. It was still foggy, and the road was wet so it was not a perfect weather but managed to log 24 miles then moved to LTF for workout for another one hour. Come home, cooked lunch and stayed at home until 6:30pm for grocery shopping. The weather turned better in the afternoon, maybe I could have biked later. Stayed at Genji until 1:00am to meet friends, drove home and stayed up until 3:00am.

2/24	Stayed up until 3:00am, went to bed and woke up at 9:00am, get up at 10:00am, cooked lunch and get ready for the day. Today is cloudy. Left to LTF just in time for the maintenance folks to do the work in the complex. Did a little short of 1 hour and headed to work under misty rain. Began my week as usual.
2/25	Stayed at office until 4:30am, drove home under heavy fog. Went to bed and got up around 11:30am. Temperature was around 70F and sunny outside but got cloudy by the time when I stepped out.

It's going to be cold tonight so I took my jacket as I was walking out at 1:30pm, Worked out for 1 hour at LTF before heading to work. It was raining but was not the level I have to use an umbrella. Began my shift.

Drove home while stopping by at Kroger on the way. Stayed in the bed until noon and stretched my body. Cooked lunch and get ready for the day.
