Anyone hop on the scale lately?
I did, and I packed on about 3 kg...
Me too... I’ve never weighed more than I do now.
I keep stuffing myself with Mark’s Signature Dish, the one we talked about way back, and dalgona coffee while being stuck at home. I feel so out of shape...
I’m no better. I’m ordering out for practically every meal.
I know, right? After being home so much, I can’t even find the motivation to go work out or something.
Is there anything worth trying at home?
Well, I recently started home training on my own!
You work out at home?
Yeap. I built up my own routine and just do it!
Aha! What do you do??
They say you can lose weight as quick as you gain so I got right on it!
I mostly stick with push-ups, sit-ups, jumping squats, burpees, and other simple exercises I can do without any equipment. I just wake up and make sure I do it every morning!
That sounds legit!
I tried at hand at home training, too, but It’s such a pain to keep up with by myself
I’m not the exercising type at all, so even a simple workout is too much for me.
I’ve seen some people get into home training videos online!
Ah, that’s a good idea!
Rocky, are there any videos you know of worth recommending?
Yeah! I can't remember the name, but if you go to YouTube and search "home training" or "home workout," it's one of the first ones at the top!
The routine they follow is pretty basic, even for beginners. The more you get into it, though, it’ll definitely give you a work out!
Whoa! They got over two million subscribers!
Nice! I think I could handle that!
Exactly. I swear it’s easy haha It’s like having your own personal trainer at home!
Well, that settles it! I’m starting my diet today!
I’ll get in a little workout then take a nice bath :)
Your new place has a tub?!
Ah... You’re so lucky!
Not exactly. I just went ahead and bought that portable folding tub I saw on “I Live Alone.” The one that Henry uses haha

Yeah, I saw that episode lol
Since it’s not as safe to head out to the sauna these days, I bought a little tub for myself. And it’s so nice! You feel so relaxed and recharged afterward!
I’ve seen it being sold on home shopping channels. I had no idea how popular it was!
A little “at-home” sauna after some “at-home” training, eh? lol
I don’t have a tub at home either so something like that would be perfect for me!
It’s not big, is it? My house is kinda small...
Not at all! Since it’s foldable, you only pull it out to use for a bath and then you store it away again!
Well that’s easy enough! I bet the bath would be even better with some aroma oil, too!
Doesn’t taking a bath get kind of boring though?
You can always watch something on Netflix with an iPad or whatever...
Recently, I’ve been into reading while taking a bath.
Cool. What kind of books are you into?
Stuff like essays, self-help books, and novels are trending in Korea lately.
For me, travel journals seem to be the most appealing since I can’t travel myself.
I may not be able to physically travel at the moment, but reading these little travel journals provide a nice alternative I guess!
I love travel journals or books myself!
I’ve been reading a lot of Korean books lately, too, and definitely picking up more interest in Korean culture!
Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves at home haha
I’ve gotten so used to it now
In fact, I got all tired of Netflix and Watcha, and even cooking, that I found myself picking up painting now haha
Oh neat! We got ourselves a little artist here!
I guess lol It’s too difficult to do it from scratch.
So I ordered a few pipo paintings of traditional Korean works and I just paint by the numbered spaces. It’s DIY concept of art!
Does it come with the brushes and paints, too?
Sure does! It comes with all the essentials, including a canvas, paints, brushes...
And it’s so easy! The canvas is marked with different areas and you just paint everything with the designated color! Anyone can do it!
I bet time flies while you’re painting!
Yeah and it’s great to even hang on the wall! It looks cool.
Your very own home gallery!
My artistry skills are awful... I totally envy you!
This doesn’t require any skill of the sort haha And if painting isn’t your thing then you can try a hand at puzzles!
Sounds great! Knock off two birds with one stone by sprucing up the interior with something you made!
Speaking of sprucing up the interior, how about raising some plants?
Cool!
Tada! Check out my home gardening skills!
Oh! I love home gardening myself!
Rocky, you actually put some work into it though haha I just plop some plants in water and let them do their thing!
Wow! So you can eat whatever you grow?
Sure! You can try and raise photosynthetic plants, but with everything costing so much these days...
I just have some scallions, onions, bean sprouts, and stuff like that.
Having something like large spring onions would be great for those that cook at home!
Good thinking, Chen
Well, I’m going give those large spring onions a go right away! Any tips??
It’s easy as pie.
Take a plastic cup or reusable container and cut of the bottom of the onions to place inside. Then fill up the cup or container with enough water to submerge the white part of the roots. Just keep giving it water once a day from then on and voilà!
Onions rarely go bad. They just keep growing and growing! So cut off however much you need each time you cook and leave it to grow some more!
That’s a cinch!
You can try raising some lettuce. It’s really simple. You just use dirt instead of water.
If you don’t have a pot at home, just take a used plastic cup or something and cut out a hole in the bottom to let the water drain. Then you plant the seeds and watch them grow! And boy do they grow!
That falls in line with the whole zero waste trend going on.
It always bothered me that I couldn’t somehow reuse some of these plastic take-out coffee cups. It’s a great idea :)
And now with spring approaching, this is the perfect time to get going on that garden!
I love wrapping my pork belly with lettuce, so I’ll have to start with that first!
From home training and bathing to reading, home art curation, and even home gardening,
we certainly got enough to keep ourselves busy lol
I hope we’re able to meet up in person again soon!
Yeah, we will! Let’s be sure to take care until then!
Oh! And thanks for all the neat at-home tips, guys!
Keep yourselves fed, exercise, and get some good rest!
I bet Rocky will be all Mr. Muscles next time we meet haha
You just wait, Chen!
