Banging Thursdays

Lately, i've been waking up unusually early, like around 10-11 ish. On a regular day, i usually wake up at 12 or sometimes 1. I don't know. I've kinda been excited to wake up lately. I guess i don't feel like wasting the remaining of my summer vacation in bed. Another unusual thing is that i am actually excited for school to start. I'm usually dreading the first day of school, but i feel different about it now. I feel passing that Mechanical class kind of gave me some energy or remotivated me to do well in school. It's kind of weird. I actually want to study and do homework and be a good student.
I worked out today. I think i like working out around 1-2pm because its not too early and its not too busy at the gym. I ran a mile in 8 minutes and some change. I jumped rope about 600 times. I did some ab workouts. I did the perfect pushup workout. It feels really good to get back into exercising. I know i've only worked out a couple of days but i felt more explosive and light when playing volleyball tonight. Maybe it's just in my head. A problem i'm having with this "getting back into shape" thing is the diet part. I don't know what to eat and i feel like i'm always hungry. I also feel tempted to eat really fatty foods, but i must resist. I have this cruise in february and i want to be looking good. That should be fun. Something to look forward to.

Tuesdays with Kris

I am bored here at home. I think i'll go workout. Man, i am so out of shape. I'll never let it get this bad again, unless, being fat suddenly becomes the "in" thing. Hmmm, what should i do today?? Run then lift or lift then run. I heard somewhere on the radio that it's better to do cardio before you lift because it improves your metabolism. I think i might do that. But i hate lifting weights all sweaty. Maybe i'll just bring an extra T-shirt or some towels to wipe me down. I'm trying to grow my hair and i'm already hating it. I can't wait to shave it off. Tine wants me to do something different with my hair, but i warned her that i don't look as sexy with long hair. haha. I think i'm going to track my weight and exercises on this blog. So... as of today, i weigh a whopping 228.6 lbs. Hmmm, the scale must be off or broken or something. haha. That's not ballin.

[228.6 lbs]
Today, I will attempt to...
-Run 1 mile
-Jump rope at least 400 times
-Perfect Push up workout
-Biceps

I think that's good enough for my first day. Going to 24. Will be back.

Behr Share stare with Zoe in the cage

So I recently scored this sweet laptop at $225 under its regular selling price at BB. For sure a "Slick Deal." Thank you slickdeals for the heads up. And, thank you Tine for coming along and being patient as I went on my laptop hunt. I think it's pretty cool, and i can't wait to start using it and all its capabilities. Although, it may be a little difficult just because I am not as Computer savvy as other people such as Kristine. I'm sure she'll help me out. One thing that's cool is the webcam chat. It's crazy how we've progressed technologically. But anyways,I successfully completed summer school 2 weeks ago. I was taking a mechanical engineering class that i have been having probelms with these past 2 quarters. On average at CPP, students take this class about 3-4 times. After my second midterm, i was worried of failing again which would lead to taking it again next quarter for my 3rd time. Hell no!! I was not going to take this stupid class again. So instead of studying for the final like i usually do, a night or two nights before, i started about a week early. I guess it paid off. I got a C+. This "studying way early before the exam" does work. I should consistently do that from now on. My old studying habits have surprisingly brought me this far, but classes are getting more difficult and more intense and i dont thing my old studying habits will help me progress further.
My close friend, Dirty, is going through some rough times right now. He has been at the hospital almost every day and occasionally spending the night. I don't pray much, but i did recently pray for him and his family because he's a good friend and a good guy and i really like his family and i hate to see people i care about sad and hurt.
Brennan, you can get any girl you want. I'm just upset with the "other person" and how she treated you. You deserve better and it will come. Don't stop being a nice guy like i had suggested. It's not that you're too nice to them, you've just had bad luck these past relationships. Man, you're almost finished with school and on your way to make big bucks. Lucky stupid shit. haha. Soon, they'll just fall on youre lap =).
Dj, thanks for helping me keep my head straight. When you talk about what you want and your work ethic, it just makes me want to work even harder.
And to YOU, we get into our little arguments, but i still love you. thanks for all you do. Whatever you want to be or do, i believe that you can do it. There's something special that you have in you that makes me envious. I rarely see it in people, and I'm glad you're on my side =).

Shutter and Koreans

So, I just came back from watching a movie with Tine. We watched shutter. You know, the movie that has to do with ghosts and cameras. Overall, i thought that the movie was pretty good. It had a lot of suspenseful, jumpy, and creepy parts. It definitely deserved better ratings than what it got. Sometimes, when i can't sleep at night, i block my number and call Kristine. I always try scaring her so that she would stay awake while i fall asleep. Sad, i know. But, sometimes i find it more easy to sleep knowing that someone else is awake. ya dig??
Today, Tine and I ate at this all you can eat korean restaurant in cerritos called Mr. Lee's. I've eaten there a couple of times this year, and it is pretty interesting but good. I mean for being an asian restaurant, where's the rice? They give you unlimited tiny, flat pieces of meat that you can cook on their oily, dirty looking grill, like you can taste what the previous customers cooked on the grill. They make you cook your own food and they give a bunch of these smelly other things like pickles, some salty sauce, hot sauce, potato salad, spicy sprouts- all for $9.99. I know, it sounds pricey for something that doesn't even sound appetizing and also leaves you smelling like a korean, but tine likes it and it makes her happy so its okay.
School sucks as always. I have school everyday and school starts at 10 am which means that i have to wake up at 7:30ish to give me time to hit the snooze button a couple of times and to allow me to take an optional shower. I am taking 12 units. A geological science class with a lab with Anthony, differential equations and linear algebra class, and the last physics class of the series with a lab.
I want to spend more time with my gay friends, but never seem to find the time. My sisters make me watch their kids the whole day and I've been trying to stay on top of my school stuff. So to my friends, i am sorry. I promise that we'll have our immature hangouts soon. you know, sit around, watch a movie, play volleyball, and talk about porn.
Also, when i am done with school and making money, i promise not to be stingy. If any of my family or friends ever have financial problems, i vow to help them and not be the type of person that keeps reminding them saying "oh, remember the time i did this or that." I hate those people. I also want to take care of tine. i want to make sure that i satisfy her. You know...haha...anyways, i don't know about blogging consistently because it takes too much time. I could be watching porn, sports highlights and what not. And, i have tine on the phone asking me what i'm doing every 5 minutes. So until next time.

[ho, fo sho.}

Abramowitz

She is the author of the book that I am currently reading in my engineering class. It gives some insight of what architects and engineers should expect as they progress through their education and their career. I actually find it to be really appealing and enlightening.

This past weekend, I had informative discussions with my older cousin, a construction manager at a successful company, and my uncle, a top executive at Cal Trans, regarding my future profession. I feel that I learned more listening to them and their experiences than all that I have learned at Cal Poly. They really know their shit, and they really love what they do. It just discourages me how other experienced students tell me that they’ve failed many times. I spoke to a student who was in his 6th year, and he said that he still needed 3 more years. Fck, that’s like elementary school all over again. Oh well. I’m actually starting to like my major. I feel like it’s something that I would enjoy doing as well.

Back to School

After a fun-filled summer vacation, it's time to go back to school. This summer was very satisfying. Knowing that this may be my last summer vacation for the next couple of years, i tried to enjoy it and do as much as possible. I tried to make the most of it. I've been dreading these last days of summer leading up to the beginning of the first day of the quarter. I know that it's going to take a lot of hard work and time to get to graduation day, but i know that it will all be worth it at the end. I really appreciate everyone that contributed to my fun summer. My family, my girlfriend, my friends. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for all the laughs. Thanks for all the late night hang outs. Thank you for your understanding. I'm pretty satisfied with the people in my life and I know for sure that they're here to stay. Thank you all.

Enjoy the ride.
