My One Scent
Hello out there! Haven't posted in a while. Just been busy with a few things, and also not much to post about -- at least nothing I want to post on the Internet for everyone to read :)
I find the smell of things always brings back a certain memory to me, whether good, bad, or just a regular smell.
The smell of the summer air at 6am will always bring back memories of waking up early to go fishing at the cottage I used to go to with my family every summer. Something about the morning dew, mixed in with the crisp air will always remind me of those mornings.
Every fall, the weather gets cooler, and whenever that hits, it reminds me of Halloween. More of a feeling than a smell, but the cold mornings or evenings in September after the transition of summer reminds me of every year when I used to go trick or treating.
For some odd reason, the smell of parking garages smell the same, and not that I enjoy the smell, but it's a recognized smell to me.
Chlorine is also a familiar smell, always reminding me of swimming pools, whether at my neighbours backyard pool when I was younger, or whenever we went to the public swimming pool.
Whenever I smell cigarette smoke, it reminds me being at the casino when they allowed smoking. Not the best smell in the world, and not that I've had fond memories at the casino, but it was the only time that I was exposed to that much smoke in one area.
Hotel rooms always have that certain "hotel" smell as well. I love that smell because being in a hotel room for me means I'm on vacation!
The smell of fresh cut grass (especially the first cut after a long winter) is a fresh reminder of the spring/summer season. I like the smell for a second, but if I'm around it too much, my allergies will activate.
One of my favourites is the fresh smell of a new electronics!! Nothing beats opening up a new box of electronics (game console, tv, camera, dvd player, video camera, anything!) and smelling that new electronics goodness that's been sealed up in that cardboard box.
The smell of a car - brand new smell, "little-tree" car fresheners (the ones my Dad used to put in the family car and we all complained, so he had to take it down, but then we'd smell it again the next day because he'd hide it somewhere), or general taxi smell.
Thanks for coming to visit. I know it's been a while. I'll promise to blog as much as I can.

Back to Rushfit
GSP says that if you become sick, then take the rest of the week off the program and then start the week again the next week.
We took last week off Rushfit because Devika wasn't feeling well. Since the program takes a lot of energy, we decided it was the best decision because we don't want her not getting better, or not doing the full program.
So that was last week, and yesterday was the first day back into the swing of things. It felt like it was a long time since our last session, but we got right back into it. It's week 4 of the program, so there will be a couple different routines and it appears the second half will be the harder ones.

Rushfit -- Day 12
It's been almost two weeks since we started GSP's Rushfit, and it's going pretty well.
Since the last time we talked, we did two new videos, the "Full Body Strength and Conditioning" and the "Fight Conditioning" workouts. Each of the workouts targets a specific region of your muscles, so the schedule has been designed to give you proper rest so you're not hurting yourself.
One of the hardest parts of the program is eating well. According to the program, you should be on a healthy diet, limit the sugar, no alcohol, no fast food -- the basics. We've tried our hardest to be on a good diet, but it's hard not to. I think as long as we don't gorge ourselves with junk food on a daily basis, then we're good to go. We're not training to be a MMA fighter or anything like that, we just wanted to tone up a little.
Although it's only been two weeks, I foresee this program to work out quite well. As long as we follow the schedule and do the workouts, I think we'll have some decent results!

Rushfit -- Day 02
Day 02 proved to be harder than Day 01.
Yesterday's workout was Abdominal Strength and Core Conditioning. I guess my abs and core aren't that strong, or maybe I was still sore from the first day (most likely the first option).
They structure the workout as if it's a UFC match; they do five "rounds" of workouts, each five minutes. For those five minutes, they push you and keep rotating exercises, then give you about a minute rest. For yesterday's workout, I stopped with maybe 10-15 seconds for each exercise near the end of the workout because it was too much! I think my form was just bad and most likely because I don't usually do those types of exercises.
I'm glad I'm blogging this now because it'll be interesting for me to read this again later on in the program to see the improvements. I hope down the road, this particular ab and core workout becomes easier. Devika did pretty well in this set since it's about the core and she's done the whole yoga thing, so she was able to hold on to the moves better.
Today, Day 03, is cardio day! Somewhat of a relief :) we're supposed to do at least 30 minutes of cardio.
Who knows, maybe I will keep updating this on a daily basis, or as much as I can.

GSP Rushfit
GSP is Georges St-Pierre, a UFC fighter, and Devika and I started the GSP Rushfit program last night. Let's just say today, we're both a little sore.
Rushfit is an eight week program that guides you through a 45 minute workout almost every day. My cousin completed the program recently and he said he lost weight and built muscle at the same time. I'm not usually the one to try these Made for TV programs, but since my cousin tried it out and said he saw results, we both decided to try it out as well.
Yesterday was "Day 1" of the program. Everything's on a DVD, so we brought down the laptop to the gym and followed along. I've never tried these workout videos, so I didn't know what to expect. I actually like it because they're there doing the exercises with you and counts down how many reps and time is left. I assume all videos are like that, though.
The program follows a plan of two days workout, followed by a day of cardio, another two days workout, another day of cardio, and one rest day, covering 1 week and repeat itself for for 8 weeks. It comes with six different DVDs, so you follow the schedule and do the workout listed on the timeline. I like the program because I have something to follow and do various types of workouts. Before, I would go to the gym and do what I know, but at the same time, I'd go at my own pace. Following this program at least pushes me to keep continuing on and work up a sweat. It also gives Devika and I a chance to go to the gym together and motivate each other.
So Day 1 of 60 was yesterday...I'll definitely do a summary post at the end of the program, but I'll try to do some updates in between. Wish us luck!

Travel Bug
I feel lucky to be able to travel, having the money to do these trips and enjoy ourselves by splurging a bit on certain items like shopping or dinners. We always do a budget before we travel, so we know how much we can spend.
Over the past couple years (yes, it's been that long), we've been trying to look for either a nice globe or a map of the world. Sure, there are tons out there, but we wanted a cooool one. We finally found a globe that we both liked during our recent trip to Tokyo. Maybe they have it here in Toronto, but we haven't seen it anywhere:
.jpg)
One of the reasons why we bought it was because it came in a flat envelope, so packing it in our suitcase was easy. It came in different pieces and you assemble them together to make the globe.
The other reason why we bought it is because you're supposed to colour in the countries that you've visited. Before we did any colouring, we made up some rules which allow us to colour in the country, a) we must have been in the country for at least 12 hours [we originally said 24 hours, but 12 hours was chosen because when we went on the cruises, we visited the different countries only for the day, and I wanted to at least colour in the Caribbean area] b) for North America, we would only mark off the province, city, or state we visited d) all other countries are to be coloured in fully [for Japan, although we just scratched the surface with Tokyo and Kyoto, we coloured the whole Japan in and c) one, or both of us, have travelled there.
It feels like we've done a lot of travelling in the past four years, but after colouring in the countries, it didn't appear that way! Only little chunks here and there were coloured in. It puts it into perspective how big the world is and how many countries there are left to travel to. Our goal is to be able to look at the globe one day with all the countries coloured in :)

April Goals: Summary
Last month, I set myself some goals to accomplish by the end of April. Here is a summary of what was accomplished...and what wasn't :S
Goal #1: Start and Finish a Novel - I started reading Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol"; this is the third and last book of his trilogy of Robert Langdon and his quest to solve mysteries. I read and enjoyed the first two books (and all of Dan Brown's other books, actually), so I thought I would finish the last book with ease...that was two years ago. Devika got the book for me when it came out and I got through 100 pages in about a year and never got back into reading it; it was just collecting dust instead. I figured I would pick it up again to accomplish this goal. I started reading it from the beginning to refresh my memory of what happened in the first 100 pages. I actually finished it about a week ago, so well ahead of schedule. It was a really good read, a typical Dan Brown style of book! - Accomplished!
Goal #2: Run 3 Laps in the Morning - As I mentioned at the beginning of April, I was running one lap as a warm up but I did it at a speed of 7.5. This wasn't a sprint, but it was a good paced run. Two weeks later, I was only able to run about half a lap more, so the goal of three laps wasn't looking good. Devika suggested to turn the speed down a little to 6.5 and see if it's better. I gave it a try the next day and I was able to run about two laps right away which gave me more hope in completing the goal. After a week or so of running at the 6.5 speed, I was able to run my three laps! I must've been feeling good that day because for the next few days, I stopped running after two-ish laps and didn't hit three again, but I'm glad I hit three laps at least once and that was my goal! - Accomplished!
Goal #3: Business Cards - I placed the order for the business cards through an online printing company. I found an online coupon so I figured I would try them out. I ordered the cards the first weekend of April and on their website, it says it'll take a couple days to print it, and then another few days to get it shipped. Eight business days later and with no indication of anything being shipped, I called them and asked where they were. They gave me the excuse of being busy and the Easter weekend being a holiday. Being the person I am, I just made a few comments and let it go because I was getting a deal on the cards. Later that same day, I get an email letting me know that my order has been shipped -- gee, I wonder why! I was afraid I wouldn't accomplish this goal because of the company not shipping it, but I received them last week and I'm happy with them. I now have 500 business cards, so I just need to start handing them out! - Accomplished!
Goal #4: Go to Hot Yoga with Devika - Devika started going back to hot yoga in April, so the first day she went, I tagged along. When we got there, we found out that we both had a 10 pass of visits left in the system (after not going for a while, we weren't sure what we had left). We each had eight visits left in our name, so we used one that night. It's funny because I don't ever remember buying a 10 pass, so we came up with a theory that there was another "Dennis" out there with the same last name and I was just using his. This happened last year as well because we ran into the same situation. To make a long story short, we did some Sherlock Holmes investigation and found out that the 10 pass is indeed mine -- Devika bought it under my name last year, so that's why I don't remember buying it :) - Accomplished!
Goal #5: Play More Basketball this Summer - April was a month of wacky weather. We had warm days and days that even snowed a bit. I had planned a day to play basketball with friends but we didn't end up going. I saw my parents one weekend and I got them to bring me my basketball from Whitby so I can play at a court near where we live. There weren't many opportunities to play outdoors the past couple of weeks due to either the weather or the fact I was busy, so you can probably guess the outcome of this goal. This was one of the goals I was looking forward to, but ended up not finishing it. - Not Accomplished.
Goal #6: Finish Strong on my 365 Project - April 30th was the 365th day of my 365 Project that I started last year. I wanted to take a good picture each day for the month of April to complete my project. Some may argue about whether or not I accomplished this goal, myself included. There were some days that still included pictures I took from inside our condo, but I tried really hard to make it as creative as possible. I'm glad I finished this project, and although I didn't take 365 new pictures each day (there were some days I didn't get a chance to take a picture, so I posted a picture I took from another day), I'm still glad I completed it. - Kinda Accomplished!
I'm glad I made these goals for myself, otherwise I probably wouldn't have done half of these on my own free will. It gave me something to work for and I would recommend it to anybody -- it gives yourself something to accomplish. Today is May 1st, and I hope to have a new set of goals by the end of the week. I may do a three month time period instead of one month, but I haven't decided on the goals yet. The three month goals will definitely be more thorough as it'll take longer to accomplish.
Stay tuned for more!

Goals: Update
I set myself some goals for the month of April a few weeks ago and I bet you're wondering how I'm doing. Even if you're not, I'm going to tell you anyway.
I'll save the final summary of which goals I've accomplished when the deadline is over, but to provide a preview, as of today, I can only cross out one of the six goals so far. Kind of bad, I know, and with a week left in April, I hope to be able to cross out the other five remaining. I'm confident I can complete all my goals for April, but there's a possibility I won't.
Stay tuned for next week when I summarize which ones I've accomplished!

Next Stop: JPN
After our last trip to the very green Galapagos Islands and Easter Island, our next stop will be the very urban Japan! We are off in less than a month and very excited.
We booked our flight and hotels last month but since then, the planning aspect of the trip has been minimal. We've been reading travel books here and there, but no "real" planning has commenced -- until now. After discussing last night, we realized there is very limited time left until our bags are packed and ready to go.
Although we enjoy site seeing and being lost (metaphorically) in area, we always plan. Although my sense of direction isn't the greatest, I'm usually the one to look up the directions and print off maps and to be honest, I enjoy doing it. I opened up a Word document today and titled it "Japan Master". In it, I have a couple pages of little notes so far about how to get from the airport to our hotel and also another location we plan on visiting.
I think getting around will be the biggest struggle for this trip, not only the language barrier, but also the quickest and more cost effective route. During my research today, I found out more information about the subway lines: there are two types in Tokyo and with it has different fares, whether it's single ride, day pass for a certain area, or day pass for a bigger area.
I'm looking forward to this trip as we will be travelling once again, but this time with a few friends. I feel fortunate to be able to go and experience how people live on the other side of the world.

The Month of April
All together now, take a deep breath in, and slowly let it out...ahhhhhhh! I wrote my exam last night for my BA course and there was a slight sigh of relief as that was my third and final course in order to get a BA Certificate from UTCS. I will do a full sigh of relief when I get my final grade :)
I decided the other night that after my exam, I will be using April as my month. How you ask? Wellll...
I'm going to set a few goals for myself to complete by the end of April. They're not going to be huge goals, but goals nonetheless. I wanted to set some goals to complete because I felt like the past few months have been kind of blah in terms of completing something. Yes, I completed the course, but other than that, I don't feel like I've finished anything else. So here goes:
Goal #1: Start and Finish a Novel. There have been many times where I've started reading a novel, but I've either never finished it or it took me way too long to finish it. So this month, I will start reading one and finish it! I'm not sure which novel to read yet, but it will be one that Devika has read and has at home. To accomplish this goal, I will probably stop doing "useless" stuff like going on the computer in the evenings, because I clearly have lots of time to do that during the day :)
Goal #2: Run 3 Laps in the Morning. I'm on my fifth week of working out in the mornings and it's going great. I haven't missed a day of my 4-day a week plan, although I admit there were a few mornings that I didn't want to get up [and some mornings where I didn't do my full workout, but that doesn't matter ;)]. Anyways, I usually go on the treadmill as a warm up; I'd walk half a lap (according to the square looking LCD map on the machine), and then do a full run for one lap, nonstop. For those runners out there, one lap is nothing, but to me, it's something :) I'm not a runner, so I'm trying to slowly ease into it. So my goal is to run three continuous laps in the morning as a warm up.
Goal #3: Business Cards. As you all know, I'm the cool guy behind dlography. I've been wanting to get business cards made for the longest time, so since I'm doing these goals, I figured I put this one on the list. I saw a good deal online the other day for business cards, so I want to buy that, order AND receive them by the end of the month.
Goal #4: Go to Hot Yoga with Devika. Devika has been urging me to start going back to hot yoga with her, but since I don't like it, I don't go. I don't like it because frankly, I don't want to pay for it :D BUT, for the sake of my lovely wife, I will add this goal to my list. The goal is to go at least once, which is a fair goal because that's all she wanted from me.
Goal #5: Play More Basketball this Summer. Last year I played basketball just once. I used to play a lot when I was younger, and even in the recent years I'd play with friends at rec centres. This year, I want to play more, and with this goal, at least once in April.
Goal #6: Finish Strong on my 365 Project. As you also know, I started doing this 365 Project on May 1st, 2011. I have less than a month to go, and I'd like to finish strong with a quality picture for the rest of the month. Not that I haven't given it my all throughout the year, but there have been days (recently, too) that I'm standing there with my camera at home and it's 11:00pm, and I'm just looking for something to take a picture of. So for the last month, I will make an effort to be out there and take a thoughtful picture each day until the end of the project.
That's it for now. So all of the above goals will be started today and completed by April 30th. It's April 5th today, so I've already lost 4ish days, but I'm determined to complete these goals! I will post an update in May.
I decided the other night that after my exam, I will be using April as my month. How you ask? Wellll...

I've been wanting to get business cards made for the longest time, so since I'm doing these goals, I figured I put this one on the list. I saw a good deal online the other day for business cards, so I want to buy that, order AND receive them by the end of the month.
Goal #4: Go to Hot Yoga with Devika. Devika has been urging me to start going back to hot yoga with her, but since I don't like it, I don't go. I don't like it because frankly, I don't want to pay for it :D BUT, for the sake of my lovely wife, I will add this goal to my list. The goal is to go at least once, which is a fair goal because that's all she wanted from me.
Goal #5: Play More Basketball this Summer. Last year I played basketball just once. I used to play a lot when I was younger, and even in the recent years I'd play with friends at rec centres. This year, I want to play more, and with this goal, at least once in April.
Goal #6: Finish Strong on my 365 Project. As you also know, I started doing this 365 Project on May 1st, 2011. I have less than a month to go, and I'd like to finish strong with a quality picture for the rest of the month. Not that I haven't given it my all throughout the year, but there have been days (recently, too) that I'm standing there with my camera at home and it's 11:00pm, and I'm just looking for something to take a picture of. So for the last month, I will make an effort to be out there and take a thoughtful picture each day until the end of the project.
That's it for now. So all of the above goals will be started today and completed by April 30th. It's April 5th today, so I've already lost 4ish days, but I'm determined to complete these goals! I will post an update in May.
