Hi there
Well, this blog has been quiet for some time. I had some grand plans to kick it up a notch, to post regularly, but for a number of reasons it never happened.
I have now started a new blog, which will allow me to continue posting in depth articles as well as shorter musings and other interesting things. I hope you will continue to follw me. The theme again will be about pusing lifestyles the way we want them to go.
My new site can be found at domtsui.net
Please drop by and I hope you enjoy it. You should be able to comment on posts, ask me questions via the site, or submit posts yourself. If you are on Tumblr yourself, you can choose to follow me.
Thanks everyone. It's been quite a ride.
My Life and (Mis)Adventures
A blog about writing, fighting and designing your own life; as well as wit, wisdom and... whatever.

Concrete Jungle where Dreams are made
New York. One month. Jiu Jitsu? I’m gonna learn... Jiu Jitsu?
Flight, taxi, hostel, Tanja and Katherina and Flavio and Phillipe. Alone, jet lagged, settling in, wandering around, getting my bearings. I’m not in Kansas any more. Superbowl, sleepiness, bewilderment. Sleep. Jen, Jiu Jitsu, Vitor and Loro, Gabriel and Tete and too many others to name you all, my jiu jitsu family. Blues, purples, browns and blacks, oh my! Side control, collar choke, tap tap tap.

This is the end...
Happy Christmas everybody, and a Messy New Year!
So the year is rolling to a close. Almost everyone seems to have switched off for Christmas, taking it easy until the New Year rolls around before attempting once again to take things by the scruff of the neck. But, hey, why wait? Life’s about momentum. Finish 2010 in style, and starting 2011 with a bang will be that much easier.
My friend R___ mentioned that instead of waiting for January to make a big push, when everyone is in the gym, he always makes an effort to get his work done in December, when everyone else is winding down. That way, when the New Year arrives, he is already in shape and ready to start the year running.

Here's one I made earlier
Oof. Busy as sin at the moment, from training and work. Because of that, I thought I'd dig out this old article I wrote a year or so ago. What does being fit and healthy mean to you, and what would you do to get there?

The Difference between Health and Fitness
A lot of people talk about ‘getting fit’, or trying to be ‘healthy’. It’s the sort of vague New Year’s resolution or earnest promise that often falls by the wayside, precisely because it can mean almost anything. The key thing is to understand exactly what being fit or healthy entails.
Most people aren’t influenced by the government’s constantly changing recommended level of weekly exercise. For most people, it’s about somehow enriching their lives in some fashion. It’s about fun, achievement. Otherwise it would be hard for many people to continue, because the truth is, when you begin any exercise regime for the first time, it’s a sore and painful experience.
