about me
Ex-computer geek, current acupuncture geek. Professional acupuncturist and tuina practitioner (traditional chinese massage) also an acupuncture student. gay and married.
I have 3 running computer at home, all networked with wire/wireless. one dedicate for recording TV, that I built it myself. I use 10 inch HP Tablet PC. 2 printers on the network, one of them is inkjet for photo, another is MFC laser/scanner/fax.
I am nuts about gadgets. 2 Archos (iPod is for dummies), one of them is 7 inches video player. I also own a DSLR, HK Sound Stick II and Playstation. I will get Wii at some point, it's a promise. I don't have flat screen tv, i would get SED tv instead of lcd or plasma.
I was a vegetarian for 8 years, gave up when I went to an acupuncture school. right now, I am a convenient vegetarian.
I speak 3 different languages, Thai, English, and a bit of Mandarin. I also know a bit of Pali and Sanskrit.
I always know the wrong things to say and usually fail to not say it.
I am very cerebral person. I read a lot. I hardly believe in anything. If you want to me to believe, you rather have a solid proof.
I am Taoist. I do not believe but I remember. I do not have faith. I only (try to) embrace the change.
Alan's Massage (part 3)

Alan still poked around my sciatic nerves. I tried to relax. I was not sure if I should just get up and leave then the timer bell ringed. He changed the poking to light kneading. He was finishing up. After 5 minutes of kneading, the session was ov...

Alan still poked around my sciatic nerves. I tried to relax. I was not sure if I should just get up and leave then the timer bell ringed. He changed the poking to light kneading. He was finishing up. After 5 minutes of kneading, the session was over. He left the room.
I got up and put the cloths on. My neck any my butt was slightly stiff in some movement. Both areas are tender to the touch. As I drove my car away. My body was in pain. Yet, I feel strangely invigorating. May be I am masochi...

Not like I am a masochist or some sort and not that there is anything wrong with it. I was in such a pain while Alan was rubbing my neck with his iron thumb. But while he rubbed, I could feel that he actually working on a lot of knots. It reminds me of my dad's massage which is always very painful. I was much younger then. Now, I am a grown up and I could take pain and shit.
After good 20 minutes, he moved to work on my upper back. It was a very strange massage method. It felt like he was ...

I arrived around 15 minutes earlier than my appointment time. It was an office space with the attempt to be 'authentic' Chinese traditional medicine clinic. cheap furnitures and decoratives, lousy fluorescent lighting, boring and corny music, and over-priced ...

I has been busy. Really busy. Extremely busy. I don't think I have exhaled in the last 10 months.

We worked more, practice more and play less. I have been working long hours in weekdays plus saturday morning. i felt drained, tired and wired.
but i have also been making a huge progress in my acupuncture skills. i could manipulate n...
