how many holidays have i missed already..

hmm.. it seems that it has been more than a year since i last wrote about my conversion to a semi-vegetarian diet.. and already more than 2 years since my resolution to partake this form of diet.. i have not yet lost my stomach for meat.. i do still consume the occasional meat which in most cases is due my anti-wastage principles.. and also mainly during social meals where it would be cumbersome to reject meat in its entirety.. a social meat-eater i used to call myself.. more recently i have adopted a more universally-friendly term known as flexitarian.. in this way.. people have less of a case for calling me a hypocritical vegetarian who eats meat.. as is the case.. i already eat very little amounts of meat or animal produce.. and gradually i am decreasing intake of eggs and milk.. who knows.. maybe 10 years down the road i would become a true vegetarian.. though probably i would still pick on any meat product that apparently would go to waste otherwise..

now i shall give a review of health and fitness concerns with regards to my new diet system.. after 2 years of flexitarianism.. i have remained at least as fit and healthy if not more.. my listless attitude that i am increasing exhibiting in recent years.. if my closer associates have noticed.. is, however, in my opinion better attributed to my lack of faith in the continuity of this materialistic world we are living in now.. which is in another topic i may write about in the future.. so now i think i can consider myself a positive living example of how a diet with restricted meat intake can actually have a good effect on one's own body.. not to mention the benefits to the environment.. despite this.. it is not to say that a meat-restricted diet is suitable for just anyone.. it has so far been favorable for me because i am seldom selective about what i eat and thus consume a wide variety of grains, fruits and vegetables.. this is also a reason why i am also not actively advocating others to adopt a similar diet as me.. as a picky person would find themselves short of many essential proteins and minerals..

anyone who bothers to read this.. i give this good advice.. eat less meat.. it's healthier and you know you are doing your part in preserving the environment we have so well-adapted and evolved to live in.. stop causing the environment to change into one which we would find detestable..

2 games left to the league season and only 1 win.. but i still find it rather fulfilling to be playing in a soccer league seriously for once.. i've got the stamina and will to run the game.. but sadly not the strength and skill to dictate and win the game.. still.. even though we are losing in matches week after week.. i still feel kinda happy playing with the team.. my philosophy is to play for the sake of playing.. a game is just a game.. entertainment can be derived from both winning and losing.. the most important point is that we enjoy the moment and look back realizing the amount of effort contributed was a part of a learning experience.. not to mention physical training.. in the knowledge that we can only improve as time goes on..
