I was bored and very un-tired one night and this was the result. :)

This one really should be up and huge! It's my favorite!

My little man!

yellow = happiness

I have always loved watermelon.

It's just such a delicious fruit.

It's sweet.

It's juicy.

And in Taiwan....

It's YELLOW!!!!

One can find happiness in fruit.

adventure book

Once upon a time I met this girl named Ambree. She was an inspiration to me. She has traveled all over the world and has managed to keep a very remarkable journal during her travels. I talked to her about it once, but didn't really take the time to actually do it. (I wasn't going on any real adventures or anything). But then I realized.... I'M IN TAIWAN!! I have lots of adventures to record and remember for all time!

So, I finally made my own adventure book! :) Take a look at the humble beginnings.

It's begining to look as if I'll need to record some taradiddles not only at taiwantaradiddles.blogspot.com but also in my brand new adventure book! :) But I'm glad! I'm stoked to have one and I hope one day I'll be able to show it to Ambree. :)

biebs had it right

I never thought that I would be living in Taiwan.

I never thought that I could be a teacher.

I never thought I had the capacity to travel around the world.

I never thought that I would have such amazing roommates in the world.

I never thought that I would walk into the lounge and find ALL of my roommates watching the Justin Bieber movie.

Well, Biebs had it right.

NEVER say NEVER!!!

just do it.

My conclusion: Well that's not going to get you anywhere.

Since I'm in Taiwan, I have decided to take this time to better myself in many regards. One of the main ones being, getting in shape.

I am 20 years old

I am 5'2"

I {should} weigh 125 pounds

So what am I doing about it?

I am eating healthier

I am getting help from these two women.

(It was the only exercise video in the lounge and it's actually really fun!)

I am running.

Whether it's on the roof of our apartment building or at a nearby park, I am running.

It's been quite an adventure so far, but I am definitely seeing results.

I am not only doing this to look better, but also to feel better. The greatest rewards are the ones that you work for and then earn. I know by staying determined and working hard, I will be blessed with a healthier body. I hope that Heavenly Father will be pleased with me once I've reached my goals. I know he is pleased with me for trying.

Do or do not, there is no try!
