Resume coaching, adopted a dog

… and trying to be healthy.

I recently resume coaching. I'm off to a slow start because I was drunk the other day but didn't know I was drunk. I ended up barfing for the first time in life (alcohol-related) and had a brutal hungover. I will try to not get so drunk next time because I felt really bad wasting a day being hungover.

I have been thinking about getting a dog and have wanted a German Shepherd for the longest time. Then I changed my mind and adopted a black Lab instead. I think it's easier to buy a trained one from a breeder or one of those pet stores. But after watching a few Youtube videos regarding puppy mills, I just can't. I won't be one of those people who preaches the importance of adoption or being a vegan. Watch the videos for yourself and decide. Do what makes you happy.

I signed up for a 1-month charity event in Vietnam. I will be going along with a group of people. The event will be organized by a monk that I kind of grew up with before he became a monk.

When I was around 11, I started going to the temple and joined its youth group. The group is like a boy scout group, except it takes place at a temple. It was a really great experience and I wouldn't become the person I am today with it. The said monk was my “big brother” who was in charge of watching me. He basically leads by example and the teaching of Ghandi. It is really difficult to not do anything he says because he says it in the softest tone while making you feel guilty if you don't do the right thing.

Then later, he become a monk at the age of 27 or something. Now he's trying to make a world a better place.

We will be going to many temples and villages in Vietnam. I do not know what will happen. I do know that the experience will be awesome. It is kind of bad timing because DailyVariance is rising and I want to do more projects. However, after reading Tuesdays With Morrie, I realized that realizing money isn't everything isn't enough. You have to carry out actions to show that money isn't everything. Of course, that doesn't mean go spend it mindlessly or be spewy at the tables. It just means that if there's an event that is important or has a lot of meaning, you should force yourself to experience it instead of grinding at the tables.

I want to be happy and my way of being happy is to make those around me happy.

I have been trying to be healthy as well. It just put me in a better spirit physically and mentally. I'm pretty sure being healthy is the top 3 topic that poker players talk about. The other two is running bad and apologizing for not writing enough blogs with broken promises to update more in the future.

Ironically, all three topics have a tough time being carried out. Hopefully, I conquer the last 3rd since I rarely complain about running bad. And I think it's funny to apologize for not updating blogs. I think someone first did it and then everyone was like, hey, that's a good idea. I guess it's the standard. Ok, I'll do it.

Take care. Of course, before I leave for Vietnam, I will leave you guys with something to munch on. The price will probably be lower. Hang in there and good luck at the tables!
