- 6/2	Japan Trip

6/3	Woke up at 9:30am once, stayed in the bed until 11:00am. Reassemble my bike and took it to the bike shop for maintenance. Lunch was at Izakaya Wa, as usual. I cooked rice and curry after coming home and reported to work at 4:30pm. Start hearing about rumors about layoff in the evening. I did not get tired over the night maybe because my body clock is still in Japan time. The shift was okay.
6/4	Stayed up at work until 4:30am then I headed home. The car was covered with dews and it was quite hard to park my car with not much help from the mirrors. Went to sleep around 6:00am and I did not wake up until noon, ended up staying at the bed until 2:00pm. Had lunch at 3:00pm and get changed and drove to work after 5:00pm. Began my day with seeing half the staffs for the night shift.
6/5	? Driving to work
6/6	Stayed until 4:30am and drove home. Up at 12:00pm and headed to work. Stayed until 7:00pm and headed to LTF before stopping at Wa for the evening. Come home, fell sleep until midnight. I had to sleep with the window open and fan running. It was quite hot night
6/7	Woke up several times in the morning but did not feel good until noon. Drove to a mall to buy summer clothing and travel bag replacement. I stopped by at Souper Salad for lunch, then dropped off my bike case at storage. In addition, I stopped by at a bike shop to pick up my bike, and bought groceries at two different stores. Relaxed in the afternoon but needed to use A/C to keep my room cool. Stepped out around 9:00pm because I suddenly want to go workout. Spent one hour at LTF and come home. Went to bed around 1:00am.
6/8	Woke up at noon, get ready for the day and stepped out for a bike ride after eating breakfast. Spent only half hour because of a passing rain. Drove home then headed out again but this time at a golf range. Come home, cooked dinner and extras for the week. Stayed up until 3:00am. Back at golf range

6/9	Woke up at 9:00am but stayed in the bed until noon. Drove outside to go to a Japanese restaurant, just realized they are not open today. Turned around and grabbed a sub at Jimmy John's. Rain came and gone before I head to work at 4:00pm. The traffic was pretty bad as usual. Began my day and I did not need pop to stay up the night.
6/10	Finished at 4:30am, drove home while watching the sky sometimes glow because of the storms nearby. Went to bed and woke up at noon. Drove to LTF and worked out for 40 minutes before heading to work. Today was rather busy and had to drink a pop tonight.
6/11	Stayed at work until 5:00am, drove home with more traffic than yesterday because of the time. Went to bed at 6:00am, woke up at 11:00am. Cooked rice which I set before going to bed. Left at 3:30pm again to LTF for 30 minutes workout before going to work.
6/12	Stayed at the office until 5:00am again. Drove home and went to bed at 6:00am. I woke up just before noon. I guess I am getting tired. Left home after taking shower to get my body realigned, stayed home until 5:00pm before heading to work.
6/13	Stayed at work until 5:00am again. Looks like no rain fall at office location despite of seeing a lot of rain indication on the radar. Drove home but stop at Kroger on the way home. Woke up at noon, had just enough time for lunch before going to get hair cut. For the last two days my body broke down.
6/14	Managed to stay up until 4:00am, left the office on time but could not go bed until 6:00am, woke up dead tired around noon, could not do anything but stay at home watching the room temperature goes up to 86F without turning on the A/C. Finally left around 4:00pm to George Bush park for one hour, chat with a couple with USMC logo jerseys, and a guy with a mountain bike. I think outside was pretty hot. Drove to Izakaya Wa for the dinner, ended up watching the whole Japan vs. Ivory Coast game until 10:00pm, my bill was nearly $100. Drove home feeling good with help of beers, waited for the rice to be done until 1:00am and went to bed. Walking out from the plant under fully moon...
6/15	Woke up in the middle of the night several times, I guess I drank too much last night. Got up at 8:00am, drove to Memorial park for a short run around 11:00am, then to LTF for pool swim for another 30 minutes. I had a lunch at nearby sandwich store, then headed out to Freeport to check out old capital of Texas. I continue driving to West Columbia to stop by former capital site, as well as a plantation in the town before heading back to Houston at 5:00pm. The weather was nice so I had no issue with driving. After coming home at 6:00pm, I took a quick shower and headed to Izakaya Wa for the second time in a row. Cerebrated my finish on Ironman 70.3 in Japan with friends. We stayed until 10:00pm then I headed home. Stayed up until 2:00am because I needed to do laundries. Oil jack pump

6/16	Could not sleep much over the night maybe because of the temperature, or alcohol I drank. Woke up at 6:00am, drove to work straight because I was tired. Stayed until 6:00pm and drove home because I needed to get some sleep. Went to bed after midnight. Cloud with a hole?!
6/17	Woke up at 5:00am, left to LTF in the morning and was able to work out for 30 minutes before going to work. Stayed until 6:30pm then headed to Kim Son for dinner with my friend. Come home after 9:00pm and stayed up until 1:00am again. I must have been losing a lot of sleep these days.
6/18	Woke up at 5:00am, drove to LTF for 30 minute workout before heading to work. There was a car stalled in the middle of the street so the traffic jam was much severe than yesterday.

Left about one hour before the finish to avoid traffic congestion. Stopped by at Daido, Kroger before coming home. I was tired and had 101F fever so I went to bed at midnight.
