I should have grab my balls

Well I guess it wouldn't do much, because the bowling center doesn't open until 12. My next class is at 1, and it's only 9. I'm hiding in my little corner in the Union now. It's comfy. I figured if I go home for a little while, I'll be on my bed, playing on my laptop or something. I can save my travel time by just chilling here. It's nice and quiet. Plus the traffic looked really horrible on the way down here. I don't feel like braving that.

I think I had a lot in mind to talk about earlier... totally blank now.

I did some scrappy shopping this week. So of the stuff I wanted were on clearance. I jumped at that. Two more weeks and I'll hopfully have a lot of time to work on my layouts. I have so much stuff I can use. I have so many ideas. Just not a lot of time to work on them. I think my creativity comes in waves.

The other thing I'm being totally obsessed with right now is exercising. I want to get to the gym pretty much every day. My clothes are starting to fit me a little better. I'm pretty happy about that. None of this is reflecting on the scale. In fact I think I've gain some weight. From what I read it's mostly water weight.

mmm... That's all I have for now I think.... going to go read the specs on the iPhone. I'll get one like... next year... lol

Pride-olicious

I spent yesterday up in SF watching the Gay Pride parade and walked around in the huge festival. I uploaded all of the photos last night. But I think there a few worth mentioning.

**WARNING -may not be suitable for kiddos or co-workers**

John and Eiichi waiting for the start of the parade.... 2 hours ahead. We thought the parade was going to start at 10. But hey... we got a really good spot.

Didn't get too many good pictures of dikes on bikes. They moved by too fast. But I figure this was pretty close....

Not entirely sure what this is all about....

Balloons!

What happens when the chief of police spots the cute little girl (next to me) in a Snow White outfit with a rainbow cape on? She sprints over and gives her a string a beads.

Twirl!!!

See what happens when you let gay Google employees build a float? They put Mr. Sulu (George Takei) in the captin's seat. Just in case you were wondering what the guy on the left was doing... He was directing all his Googl-ings to bow down to the captain.

I don't think I'll ever really find this attractive.

Some great signs




Altoids are made for sharing

The guy on the left has a tail. He had to bend over to pick up something. Now I know how he keeps it on.

Bear Pirates of the Caribbean.... That's George pointing his sword at us

How about some leather?


The End!

off

I'm really off today. My alarm didn't go off this morning. Woke up 10 min before I had to be on the road to be in class on time. Didn't do well on a couple of quizes. I had this sense of dread all day. I have this vision of my driving, struck head on by a truck, and everything goes black. I can't explain it. I also feel cheated. I do everything in my power to make people happy. Who is there to do it for me? Why in hell do I bother.

time of day

This guy I know once told me if a someboy doesn't talk/msg/txt me all by himself then he's not worth the time of day. I wonder how long will it take for him to realize I've been pretty quiet for a while.

pesto

I have this sudden urge to make fresh pesto. I realize it's a whole lot easier for me to make it now that I have that little food processor. That and my prof is eating some angel hair tossed with fresh pesto and cherry tomatoes during our break. Man it smells so damn good. Too bad I already made a gigantic crock of my really good turkey meatsauce last night already. Maybe next week. *drool*

work it

I don't think I've worked this hard for a while. I had class most of the week, closed Wed and Thurs, worked all weekend. It's Monday again. I've been slacking on updates lately. Not like there's much to write about. School, work, gym. That's about it. I get to go out for a little bit once in a while. All the while the one thing I really want is more sleep and rest after a great workout.

I still went to the gym last night after a long day of work. I'm feeling it now. My abs are sore. I'm doing a lot more moving about lately, and I'm not losing weight. Not yet I guess. It's only been about 2 weeks of consistent workout. I'm still working on building up my endurance. I managed to shave another half a minute off my 3k last night. Anyway.

triple digits

It's suppose to be hot today. Triple digits they say. I believe it. It was in the 90's yesterday.

My fatigue is starting to catch up. I'm not getting enough, rest thanks to working on week nights. I shaved a whole minute off my 3k time yesterday. My endurance sucks. I can only do 3 miles in 39 minutes. I figure by the time I can shave my time off to 36 minutes then I can do my 5 miles in an hour. That's 12 min per mile. I'm at about 13.3 min right now. I have a long way to go. I'm going to rest for a couple of days, just because of work.

A blue jay stared at me this morning. That little critter was standing on top of the recycle bin and stared at me while I was walking to class. Does that mean anything? Oh he has a mean white brow too. Wish I was carrying my camera.

I've been wearing flip flops for the last couple of weeks now. I like it a lot. Especially the ones I got. Go get some sanuk payday if you can.

I have to close again tonight. That will be fun. Not.

pictures

Sometimes I really wish I had taken more pictures in my time. I looked at some other people's site and am amazed at the different things they managed to capture. Little moments. Children. Sometimes I really wish I have a family of my own. Little ones to take care of. I know I can take care of myself, I just don't know if I would trust children to me. At the same time, I don't want to have children just for the sake of having them. I want it to be a shared thing. I have to find that person I want to share that with. I still don't know how I feel about that. I think I'm afraid to get into a relationship still. I have a tendency to be blindly loyal rather then how I truly feel. I learned a lot about myself. I need to learn to be selfish. Apparently I didn't know how. And when you're relationship with somebody who only knows how to take and take, it just drains you and leave you emotionally drained.

bush

No I don't have a political rant here, but rather a new peeve. For all you asian aunties who like to go to the gym in the afternoon, shower, then walk around naked. Please don't. I don't care if you take a shower and stay naked while you dry off. But please don't trot all over the place. No you are not allow to walk up right next to me to get on the scale buck naked while I'm hovered over my bag trying to pack. I'm not too keen on looking up and have a bush right in my face. I don't swing that way.

*end of public announcement*

tv

I can't really remember a time when I'm not totally into TV. My mom pointed out last night that we haven't turned on the TV in the living room in about 3 days. Which reminded me to watch Deadliest Catch. I think I'm obsessed with that show. It's pretty much the only thing I watch now that all the shows I have watched this season are over. I'm a slave to the discovery channel... haha.

I feel like the way I spend my time is changing. I think I want more substance. Not material, but being able to say I got something done. I am going to be exceptionally busy these couple of months. I feel like I'm in a sprint. School, work, gym. I guess TV doesn't really fit in there anywhere except when I'm trying to rest up and get started again. I figured that if I keep myself busy then time would pass faster. The whole accomplishment thing is a plus.

Can't wait until August.

pictures

So I uploaded a whole bunch of pictures of Whammy last night. I kept looking at this one, thinking... man... you're not really this cute. So I went up to him and ask, hey piggie, how do you managed to make yourself so cute in pictures? You look nothing like this in real life. (*chuckle*) He looked at me like I was nuts, pulled his towel over his head, and went back to sleep.

nice and toasty

It's starting to feel like that hot-to-the-point-where-I-want-to-strip-and-run-through-the-sprinklers summer. I had class this morning, had lunch, and find the next class canceled because my professor has a stomach ailment. So I did what any rational human being would do, I went to the gym instead. Mmm... ok maybe not all that rational, but at least it's healthy.

I was finally feeling the saddle burn from last night. I'm actually surprised at how well I held up. I remember when I first started going to spin class I had the worse time. I could hardly sit after each session. I was doing surprisingly well last night and only had a hit of soreness today. Not a bad deal I think. Something tells me it's because I'm so much lighter then when I was on the bike last. Lighter on my feet and on my butt I suppose. I don't think I pushed myself hard enough. I didn't know how long I would last on it. My whole goal last night was to last though the whole session. I can't count the number of times I wanted to quit. I just kept at it because I knew I would be happy if I finish up at the end. It was great!

As I said, it was hot. My piggies reaction to weather is the best indication of how hot it is. So imagine my amusement when I walked in and found this.


Workout sucks, but I feel so much better after it. I think I'm starting to feel the burn. I really want to lose my gut. It's pretty unsightly. I felt pretty good for a while in this size, and I'm getting tired of it. I think it really is time to move down a couple more sizes. I do this once in a while. Getting all hyped up in doing something. I hope this one sticks.

I guess that's all I have for now. I should study for my midterm.

her name was Amy

No, not Lola. According to my spin instructor, the woman I met in that jail cell after I was knocked out, her name is Amy. Yeah I went to a spin class. That is all. =)

Safari

I just downloaded Safari 3 on my laptop. Yeah. I run Windows, and I'm now using Safari. Granted I am a bit of an Apple fan girl. The only reason why I'm not running an Apple laptop right now is the price and competibility. But I'm on Safari! Yay!

I <3 Steve.

sanity check

I think I'll have a case of the Mondays for about... oh at least another 4 weeks, not counting today. The marketing class is kind of mmm... hate to say it... boring. I think it's because I've had marketing before. I think learning how to use the equipment would help. *sigh* Anyway.

Work was long this weekend, and I got almost nothing done. I'll be working way too much this week. I already knew that. I do get a little bit of time to get some of that paperwork out of the way. And the more pay would help a bit. I can use it.

I don't get how some people can't learn how to do their job more effectively... after at least 6 months on the job... close to a year. How some people lack problem solving skill escapes me. It leaves me with more things to do. Some people just don't know how to think in an efficient and profitable manner.

I just realize I'm not really going to have a holiday until the 4th of July. True I am taking a day off this 24th to go to SF pride with some friends, but that's not really off. I for one think it's going to be a lot of work. So yeah... not until the 4th of July. After that, I get a bigger break in August. I already have plans for that... woohoo!

Taggaloo

Carrie tagged me again... 7 random things

1. I went to the bathroom in the bottom level of the business building yesterday morning. Person before me flushed and left. I get into the stall and it was still going. I seriously stood there and stared at it for a good 10 seconds. It wasn't stopping. I really had to go.... I felt like I was peeing into the rapids.

2. I get beet red after a flute of bubbly (I think I have a picture of that from last night).... but I never shy away from an occasional pint of Guinness/Smithicks/Blank&Tan or car bomb.

3. I get distracted pretty damn easily... can't you tell?!?! **hint - enormous amount of random postings**

4. I don't remember the last time I found a pair of shorts that is actually comfortable and looks good. Thank you Harajuku. No I didn't pay an arm an a leg for it. Which brings me to another point. I refuse to pay retail. Sales, clearance at the mall, and in this case... Loehmann's. My new shopping model - go to Metro park for brands and styles, heads back to Loehmanns's for those at less then half the price. These comfy short are only $19.99. Beat that! Ha!

5. I just looked down and noticed the beginning of flip-flop tan.

6. What is it about the comb-over that crosses race, culture, place, and time?

7. High school graduations are chaotic. Too many people. It's suffercating.

low hanging fruit

I had a pretty good lecture this morning. It was very engaging, and I think I actually was learning. After the break, somebody asked about who we should study for the tests. This conversation evolved into the strategy to pass 7 classes in one semester (which the professor had done in his undergraduate days). Pick the low hanging fruit he said. If you can get an easy A, by gosh take it! If the class is going to be really hard, be satisfy with a C. It evens out in the long run. I can't help but to agree entirely with his theory... heck... I put it into practice last semester. But I suppose I could have done even better if I did put a bit more efforts into it. So there. School is like trying to implement socialist ideas in a communist regime... just go for the lowest denominator and you'll be ok.

this one

Can't afford it.... the size is perfect... I want!

case of the monday?

Class was out a little early today. Only watched a video. Went over to A.'s and went to lunch with A & T. Went to the mall for a bit. Came home to veg. I should go run. But when I wanted to go... it was like 5... I wouldn't be able to find a treadmill. I'll go in like.... half an hour. It'll die down a bit.

Oh yes... I started school again today. Joy.
