On holiday in Brussels Belgium, went via Bahrain then France driving then drove to Belgium. The next day drove to Germany, Essen spent 2 and a half day there, went to Movie Park twice and then shopping the day we left. My brother couldn’t stand to not drive most of the time 
such a baby. Drove through Holland too.
Oh yeah Brussels national day, fair, fireworks, waffles, chips, aeroplanes, missed the parade 
. How come people never leave comments on my site ?

Sun 06/07/08 190 Calories after 30 min on treadmill, continuing my punishment.
Mon 07/07/08 Exhausted from my punishment AND work (AND Guitar hero 3 ).
Tue 08/07/08 Feeling lazy, Guitar hero 3.
Wed 09/07/08 Was planning on exercising but was waiting for some things including calls from my friends and work to do and ended up shopping for the house till midnight so no exercise. Guitar hero 3 (addiction).
Thu 10/07/08 Paper work and emails, Guitar hero 3 (oh my god I finished it, what should I do with my free time and only one working hand?).
Fri 11/07/08 SHOPPING for me holiday (shopping is so lonely), spent way too much, my left hand is in pain (too much Guitar hero ).
Sat 12/07/08 325 Calories after 30 minutes on incline bicycle.
Weekly summary: Well guitar hero ruined my workouts, couldn’t use the rowing machine because of straining my hand. So 515 calories after 2 workouts at an average of 257, worst week ever . I wonder if playing guitar hero counts for anything? I did about half an hour standing as well so that should count for something. Late posting cause had to get ready for my holiday (rush rush rush), moved foreward by 2 days 
, so I’m quite frantic (actually posting from lounge in Bahrain).
Week ending Stats: No weight check but my waist is about 42″ now, so about 1.5 inches every seven weeks, not impressive but not too bad, (I’m actually quite happy about it ). so below 40″ by the end of the year for sure, if I’m lucky I will also be under 100 Kg who knows stranger things have happened
Watched some hindi movies lying around at home. First Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (arabic subtitles), I found this movie wrong on so many levels, 1st I haven’t watched a hindi movie for so long and they should be wearing more clothes honestly, and I don’t like the way it was played out , but the last 20 or so minutes made the movie worth watching ,everybody showed and became their best, redeeming themselves and making me hate them a lot less hence not dislike the movie so much. Don’t particularly like the movie though I really like the song Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (means never say goodbye), the movies message didn’t make sense on so many levels because of the way things played out (and I’m really against extra marital affairs or “cheating” on your spouse/lover emotionally or physically, idea makes me sick), the story plays out over 7 years and the movie is way too long. But I like the song in the end .
Next watched Laila Majnu (english subs), I was told it’s not accurately subtitled and so not as blasphemous as the subtitles made it seem so I will go by the general spirit of the movie. ITS SAD TRAGIC AND LOVEY DOVEY. Its really about how much could someone endure for their love and how true to their love their willing to be I suppose, it’s not a happy movie but it is romantic tragically romantic if thats your kind of thing. Something that happened in the movie I wish I could do is take on somebody else’s pain but I suppose my faith isn’t strong enough or maybe then I could. Oh yeah the story though Indian is inspired by the poet Qays ibn al-Mulawwah (wikipedia spelling ) from Bani Aamir قيس بن الملوّح العامري though it is fictional, thats why they dress a certain way and they are Muslim in the movie.
As if my insomnia isn’t bad enough these movies ARE NOT helping, have to find myself some love to drown myself in , or forget the whole idea (much more realistic considering the circumstances ie LIFE) next on my watch list is Sholay.
UPDATE movies added to WiW under Hindi.

Sun 29/06/08 No exercise, outing and some chores.
Mon 30/06/08 No exercise Shoulder hurts (move around too much in my sleep) .
Tue 01/07/08 No exercise Back from work midday, not sleeping well, so I did some catching up .
Wed 02/07/08 No exercise 
Thu 03/07/08 No exercise been keeping myself busy and chickening out of exercise the last few days (I think I did exercise once but forgot what day so I won’t count it).
Fri 04/07/08 320 Calories after 30 min on incline bicycle.
Sat 05/07/08 340 Calories after 30 min on rowing machine. 170 Calories after 25 min on treadmill (self imposed PUNISHMENT).
Weekly summary: Exercised 3 times total of 830 with an average of 275 calories as an average. Slight overall improvement. I punished myself on saturday (since I’m too old for my parents to do that and don’t have a wife ) for not exercising by exercising twice and teaching myself a lesson. IM SO TIRED NOW. I feel physically and emotionally ( ) broken.
Week ending Stats: No formal stats taken this week, weight seems to be the same and I didn’t measure my waist. My surwal keeps falling though so either the elastic is giving away or my behind shrunk.
I drove for half an hour (1 hour total round trip) to a mall just to get some teriyaki for lunch (CRAVING) I get there and what do I find? Yum Yum tree is closed for renovations 
. I ended up eating subway . I still want my teriyaki. I hate wanting things I can’t have (seems like a trend). Ducks.
I just installed opera mini on my phone and it works great, its also much faster than the built in browser so Im quite happy with it, If you’re not satisfied with you’re mobiles browser you should try it out. There is a mac linux and windows version too and it has some nice features, if you’re willing to give it a try it is very customizable.
I have laid eyes on my potential future (mobile) it is the Sony Ericsson c905, its features include an 8 mpix camera with xenon flash, (maybe) 640×480 video recording, wifi, good battery (hopefully), tv connectivity (no biggie), gps, don’t remember the rest but there is more. I am quite happy with my current phone (k850i) and 5mpix is more than enough however the video is only 320×240 and the exposure time is sometimes unbearable, so if the c905 has a better sensor setting a 5mpix instead of 8mpix should improve the exposure time (maybe I try 3mpix on my current phone to see if that helps). The video is a big deal for me because my phone is my camera because I always have it with me (i.e. attached to my hip), the phone would be alot less appealing if the resolution is only 320×240 (means I probably won’t buy it ). Some sites claim 320×240 others 640×480, the SE whitepaper says QVGA (320×240) but I’m hoping the final model gets revised.
UPDATE forgot to mention AT&T claim to be releasing the iPhone in the USA without a contract at 400$ above the contracted iPhone price (8gb for 599$ 16gb for 699$), cool what a steal (NOT 
).
