Wassup everybody! December has arrived – we are running out of days in 2019.
It is kinda crazy realizing how fast time flies and also how much shit has happened
this past year. I’m gonna get back to most of
it in couple of weeks but damn... Shit just goes... Before getting any further,
let me just publicly shout out my sis and wish her the happiest b-day possible.
Even though my ass is M.I.A. like all the time, which does not ¨really make
me the brother of the year (or the uncle of the year for that matter), know that I got nothing but
love and respect for you. Whatever you do, you’re
obviously killing it, and it makes me super happy and proud just watching that
from afar. So yeah, more love, more life, all the best! You know what it is...
Now back to my Chinese life. Last week was relatively
chilled. It was also the first week that was pretty much all winter. Got my
winter jacket and gloves out of closet, wearing my face mask when biking, it’s going down. Tuesday evening, I got
invited for this group meditation thing. This vegan guy I met recently through
a Czech friend of mine is just starting with these at this spot at Jiazhou Road
just next to Jing’an Temple. It’s a pretty interesting venue. Looks
like a regular apartment but some local guy apparently turned it into a
guerilla restaurant. I seriously doubt they have any kinda license but they do offer
vegetarian meals every day over lunchtime, and more importantly, they use only
fresh local veggies (no pesticides) sourced from the guy’s farm
just outside of Shanghai – which is
kind of a big thing over here, trust me. There was like 8 of us, it was pretty
basic, but it was also very nice. Especially the talk after. Got to try some leftovers
from lunch and a lovely lady who was running kitchen over there made some
dumplings for us. This might become a weekly thing so I’m pretty sure I’ll be
back.
On Thursday, I packed some essentials and took it to my
Lithuanian friends’ spot. They left for a vacay
for about 2 weeks so I’m in
charge of their apartment and animals once more. It’s pretty refreshing. Morning and evening walks with the
doggie are still enjoyable – and I
don’t really think this ever gets old. Thursday evening, my
Montenegrin sisters came by to hangout as we are
basically neighbors now.
On Friday, I met up with a friend for a lunch at Knowing Café after some time. We got some pretty mean dumplings and oat milk latté (new item on the menu over there), and more importantly, covered a wide range of philosophical topics once more. As we always do.
Saturday evening, I got invited to this birthday party at
Just Cool. Before getting there, I hung out with the sisters once more at their
spot. The b-day boy is not a close friend of mine but we have tons of friends
in common (I’m pretty sure that’s why I got the invitation in the
first place) and the whole thing was great. Crowd was super cool, vibe was amazing,
drinks were cheap. Didn’t stay
too long but had a chance to catch up with some of my favorite people.
So yeah, apart from the weather, everything is going pretty
good over here. There’s been
some rainy days, there’s been
some real cold days... None of which is stopping me from cycling and outdoor
workouts. Physically, I feel fucking beautiful still. Which reminds me... My
sister got me on this Game Changers documentary... It kinda confirms lotta shit
I’ve been observing on myself lately. Also, here and there, I still play with that script writing (still mostly figuring stuff out) and it's pretty fun too.
Anyways, we got like 6:30 over here, my coffee is almost finished, I got the
doggie sleeping on my lap, about to do the walk, probably gonna buy some fruits
from the fruit guy around the corner. And then it’s gym
and all the lovely responsibilities and adventures of your boy taeb. Sending
some positive vibes to all of you. It’s all
love. One!
Highlights:
- Watched the new Scorsese – 3.5 hours takes some dedication.
- New Bones album. Dope.
- Outdoor workouts. This winter vibe spices it all up. And I get to do that at Luwan Stadium for a change now.
