sensitive olfaction

a wala lang post...

i'm pretty sensitive to unpleasant odors.

i probably have the best boxing trainer in the boxing gym. he teaches perfect form. he guides me well. the only problem is how my nose detects different... odors... his morning breath (i work out at 630am) and the stench of sweaty leather mitts. eeww. as much as i like throwing that jab, that hook or the upper cut, i do not like having to smell those mitts of his.

how do i solve this? do i offer him mints before we start training? could i offer to replace those mitts with brand new ones? do i spray edt all over his mitts when he's not looking?

i get into my car. driver has been waiting around for sometime inside. of course, he had the A/C off. and i instantly detect the odor of body sweat in that enclosed space. driver is generally 'odor-free'. but having stayed in the car must have made him perspire. hay. i didnt want to be rude so i chose to just spray more edt on me. but it took awhile before the odor went away.

wala lang.

Hi,

I've been quite a follower of your blog since middle of last year but was just a silent observer behind the computer.

This blog topic is really something I can relate to very much.

I'm now based in Cambodia and you wouldn't believe the amount of olfactory attacks you are exposed to constantly...from your office colleagues to the tuktuk drivers and passersby while doing your grocery. And economic status doesn't even have anything to do with it.

Just wanted to share my own experience. Keep blogging.


Cheers!
