Ketchup is more than just a condiment...

I know I have a challenge to accomplish, and what I did last weekend is not a good start to reach my goal, I ate a lot of chocolate cake hmmmmm!!!!! I been so badly and I almost kill myself eating chocolate and cookies, pansit and lumpia for whole night. Since I stayed late, I didn’t manage to wake up and go to gym, just lay in bed, and wait to get ready for another heavy breakfast ohhhhh that’s horrible the blueberry pancake was fantastic and again I forget my goal I took three pancakes, for sure nobody can say no when the food show up in your face sweet!!!
Well in spite of forgetting my goal, I forced myself to go and watch the Bahrain Air show, and yes I made it, spend my day under the sand with strawberry milkshakes man again I’m out of control..
I guess that’s very bad start and not a good sign,,,, Let’s see what happen next..

If we say condiment it is something to use to give a special flavor to food, such as mustard, spices, or ketchup :) hmmmm that’s me, i start using that nickname when i got here in Bahrain on 2007 and when my friends start calling me ketchup. I love ketchup that’s why I like my name because its kinda "saucy" and I know i can give a special flavor to my life, for almost four years here in Bahrain I did a lot of things a good and bad, all same routine wake up, go work, spent time in a bar, got wasted, got drunk , spent money unwisely, have fun with my girlfriends, go some places in bahrain just be there without appreciating it, cried when get hurt, revenge if possible, and be fool. But I learned to be strong, to be independent, to live and think right, now its 2010 I want to do something more evocative, to change my routine into something useful and learn more. Start this year I will challenge myself to reach my goals and it will start first in a simple way.
Here are my challenges;
