I'm pretty lucky.

That's all I have to say right now...

I'm just a lucky guy.

Pizza.

The most genius food ever invented.

Also, very versatile.

I miss winterbreak.

Life was better a few weeks ago. :)

It's Wednesday night....

Why can't I just fall asleep like a normal person?

another day with you

(girl believe me I wanna stay, but I'm off and away)

Hey, good mornin'

We watch the sun come up, it's callin'

I want another day with you,

Good mornin'

We watch the sun come up, it's callin'

Foggy

I'm not sure how to feel right now.

I have all of these conflicting emotions with different aspects of my life. At least I know that I always have my family, no matter what.

Rest in peace Auntie Ling Ling. Lots of great memories that I'll be sure to keep with me.

This winter break...

Wow. It has really been amazing.

I have so many memories... I will miss this winter break so much.

Best ever... actually.

Day 4

Well, this is the end of velocity for now...

I'm gonna restart the 28 days in 2 weeks. I gotta say though, these 4 days have been brutal. I hate protein shakes now.

I'd rather not eat anything than drink these protein shakes... however, I need the protein to maintain muscle (and survive, lol)... so I'm just gonna down them from now on.

The hardest part I've learned from these 4 days is that I'm extremely bored when I don't eat. That's kinda sad actually -- to know that my life/social-life revolves around food sooooo much. Oh well. I guess it's a normal thing.

Velocity: Day 1.

It wasn't too bad. I'm glad everyone in this house is doing it though -- misery loves company.

I'm actually sorta hungry right now, but it ain't no thing but a chicken wing... lol -_- Damn, I'm already starting to think about food.

It's the new year!

Ok guys, so 2011 turned out to be a pretty cool year. Honestly, I remember looking at the upcoming year in 2010 and thinking to myself, "2011 has the chance to be a pretty crappy year..."

Now that I look back at this year, I realize how great it truly was for me. I got to take time off from school -- in other words, collect myself after graduating from college. NYE in Vegas was pretty cool. Went to the gym like everyday. A few trips to SD this year. A few trips to LA/Walnut/Riverside this year. A Tahoe trip. Bunches of trips to Sac... And my birthday in Sac too! Summer with Matt's family was cool... I had a lot of fun with them over the summer.

But, looking back at the first half of the year, THE defining moment was opening my acceptance letter to SJSU's I-O Program. I remember calling my mother crying with tears of joy that I got in... I was pretty much a baby. Lol.

Since the summer, I moved from SF to SJ. That was a big transition for me... however, it was a pretty fun one. I learned so many new things as a result of moving here. SJ is a new experience to me. It's not quite like Sac was, but the biggest difference is that it's just that -- different. It's nothing like what I thought it would be. I don't have family here. I don't have the same friends I did in Sac. It's just different -- still, I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all. I like it... I think.

Fall semester was a crazy semester. In one word, I would sum up my first semester as a grad student with: procrastination.

Literally, I procrastinated everything. From the start. But it's all good though because I finished with my first 4.0 GPA. It's funny because it's grad school, but it makes sense... I'm studying the field I really love, so why wouldn't I get A's in all of my classes?

And yes, I can't forget about a certain someone that I met in just over in the past month. She's amazingly sweet... :) she really is. She's definitely special to me... and I sorta miss her right now. I can't wait to see you again.

So, actually... 2011 was a great year for me... especially when taking into account that 2011 could have been a really crappy year, I'm going to say that 2011 was a year of new experiences, lots of traveling, and lots of personal development... and overall was a pretty cool year... even more so as the year progressed.

I hope 2012 tops 2011. I mean, life just keeps getting better...

An amazing 2 weeks.

These past 2 weeks have been great. I doubt I'll ever forget all the fun things that happened.

In short:

SJ-Sac-LA-Riverside-SD-LA-Riverside-LA-SJ-SF-SJ


Now, to get back to the gym... I know I let loose with my diet these past 2 weeks. I need to remedy this situation.

My 'last' night

I don't really know what to type right now. I have so many thoughts. I just know that I'm not ready to go back home. I've created something here in SoCal that I don't want to leave. I always have loved coming down here, and now that feeling is multiplied. Maybe after I graduate, I'll move down here permanently. It's really much nicer here. At least I can be much closer to my dad that way. Who knows though... Time will tell.

All I know for sure is that I had a great week here. One I doubt I'll forget. I'll miss you guys.



This song is my jam right now too.

Every December...

Here's to 23 years, R&D... Happy Birthday guys.

Oh and I forgot...

I'm now on my fourth year of keeping an active blog. I still don't see myself stopping for a while... I love reading this journal. It's the best way for me to organize my feelings thru writing so I can interpret my own thoughts. I see so clearly now.

This song reminds me of when I started this blog. Don't you remember the winter you moved to sac??? Staying up all night building your ikea furniture that you still use today??? haha... yup, winter 08. good times.
