My Aspect of Existence #21

Started final editing on 6:36 AM

Ahh.. Shoot. How to put this… It’s been over a month that i haven’t been posting my weekly “Aspect of Existence” posts, and… a couple of things have happened.

I kinda miss expressing myself through these words of mine, but it’s just been a wild experience being in my AP English class.

So now, doing things MY way, I present bullet points (the short, sweet, &to the point things people might actually read. lolz):

• Finished term 2 of the somewhat brutal high school courses that i had (although i bet there are those who have it more challenging)

• “Copped” me a copy of Gran Turismo 5 at last after the long wait. &It’s just awesome in a nutshell. Been drifting with my buddy ol’ pal Jhun (a.k.a. DriftBuddy) &the updates are getting better as the holidays roll by

• I spent thanksgiving down south in L.A. &actually got what i could call the best round trip experience i’ve had in my life so far there. Althoughhh, my family’s timeshare made us stay at a hotel in Palm Springs, so EVERYDAY, we had to drive to L.A.

• Watched Tron Legacy &downloaded the Daft Punk Soundtrack.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  AND IT WAS AWESOME.

• Tragedies happened to me in breakdance club. It was complicated (not really). BASICALLY, let’s just say i’m not so much of a choreographer as i thought i could have been.

• RED BULL BC ONE 2010. Dope. I watched it live. It was from 2 AM to 4 AM. LOL, ‘cause it was held in Tokyo. The crowd was pretty lively with about 3,000 people cheering, but the vibe just felt different. Felt more like Red Bull’s old jams compared to the recent epic ones they have been conducting. My hero, Taisuke, lost. It was sad, but dzamn that guy was just cocky this year hands down. Props to Neguin to being hyped up from drinking all those energy drinks! LOL (i don’t support energy drinks)

So i’m back into reflecting on what i’ve actually paid attention to in my life (but for how long? o.O). Currently, i’m “sleeping”over my cousin Huey’s place &it’s an all nighter. I finally found the “spell-breaker” to my blogger’s block &my drive to design once again.

It’s winter break &I’m actually being more productive than i ever was during my chill summer dayz bruhhh. The “Bass Down Low” (music video) project is actually almost done &if anyone’s been following me (like actually reading), you should know NOTHING. LOL, jk. It’s probably something you just see me spread hype about. IF you don’t know about it, it’s just a collaboration between my friends &I doing a re-make of a music video, using only VERY low spending budget. Teehee. It’s really random &basically fun moments of the broski kickits that we have. If you wanna check out the teaser (old), you can catch it here:

Alrighty. That’s it for me. Hopefully i continue blogging again &re-capturing my muse for art &design once more. Tooooooooodles.

Pretty, Boy, Swag! All of those commas are necessary, yesss. Geeet out thaa wayyy. LOL, okay. Bad song title to start out with, but it’s a funny song (especially with all the hype that goes around school with people saying “swag!”). Any Dubstep song will smash on that song however. x]

SO! To put you into my perspective &without further ado:

• Monday (11.8.10): Forgot (Man, i gotta get back up-to-speed with journal blogging!) Although, i DID remember posting those 5 videos here on Tumblr dealing with dance inspiration &a topic to think about, the night before though.
  

• Tuesday (11.9.10): Forgot. This is probably the day i spent my time researching &watching videos of B-Boy Cloud. That guy is just awesome.
  

• Wednesday (11.10.10): Forgot.
  

• Thursday (11.11.10): Hey! Holiday! All i remember is filming the online breakdance battle video against my old best friend, Quyet, from all the way in Washington. Okay, the deal was basically he called me out by comment in one of the videos i posted up on Facebook. &So i’m not the one who started this, but it’s fun to just battle, as long as I do it with confidence, variety, the roots of hip hop in mind, and an attitude with passion. x]

• Friday (11.12.10): My dad’s side of the family didn’t go to the usual Friday Family Dinner Night at my auntie’s place, but only because my dad’s birthday party was the next day, at my place. >:]
  

• Saturday (11.13.10): SO i couldn’t make it to Cristina’s birthday party again ‘cause it collided with my dad’s plans again, but i hope she had fun! On the other hand, my dad’s party was pretty crackin’, along with the Pacquiao fight. The fight was alright, but couldn’t been more intense if Pac-man wasn’t so mercy-giving. Anywhoo, the fight outcome was pretty obvious, &so was my win against the cousins in the new Call of Duty: Black Ops game. Teehee. I’m hoping to get the game sometime soon, but as of right now, FULL FORCE TOWARDS GRAN TURISMO 5 BABY!

• Sunday (11.14.10): Clean-ups and left overs were basically this day. -.-
  

• Monday (11.15.10): As I remember, i was having a “Case of the Mondays,” &everybody who’s somebody should know how awful that is.
  

• Tuesday (11.16.10): So there was the yearbook photo taken for breakdance club, finally, &it sucks for the fact that i’ve been breakdance/spirited fitted throughout the past 2 weeks that the club was supposed to take the picture, &yet, we took it THIS day (when i was all sweaty &non-colorful). -__- After that was dinner at Costco & I grew a bigger interest in DSLR cameras yet again.

• Wednesday (11.17.10): Dinner at Mimi’s Cafe (YES! for the coupon. Ahaha); &Old Navy afterwards. Luckily, we went there for the sale & i got this long-sleeve shirt that i really like. =]

• Thursday (11.18.10): Ear infection. Okay, i don’t have one. BUT, this is the first time EVER in my life that i’ve gotten a clogged ear. I can barely hear with it, but at least i can hear my heartbeats if i ever get really tired or get turned on. lol (Turns out this wasn’t an ear infection, but yet, just a side effect from getting a cold. -_-)

• Friday (11.19.10): Well! Now there’s no more “every-friday-family-dinners” because things became too repetitive &my dad’s side of the family didn’t wanna be “sick of seeing each other all the time.” Instead! It’s only gonna be 2 Fridays every month, so that we all “miss each other.” LOL, but in other news, the rain has begun. x[ (Sad face ‘cause i’m not a fan of the rain, unless it’s for something that deals with art, like taking photos.) Uhm, in my AP Literature class, we started work on sonnets, & I found them to be pretty interesting (even though i’ve heard some before, but being in an AP class just makes me feel a lot more observant about the little significant details, hehe). That night, i ended up going to Chuck E. Cheese for a kid’s party & I gotta say, the Need for Speed Carbon arcade game got me pretty hooked into arcade racing again! Err.. maybe it was just ‘cause of the career mode it had. x] (look at me talking like a video game geek-ish… ‘cause i am! WITH PRIDE!) OH YEAH, on another note, I asked my friend who’s the “president/club leader” of breakdance club if i could be the choreographer of the next multicultural assembly performance for our school. (NOTE: This is usually when the clubs at school come alive &it’s a mandatory assembly, so the whole school gets a feel for it.) He said yeah &now i’m pretty psyched to start! However, i feel like the time frame is gonna be challenging, because the assembly is in January (as i’ve been told) &the club still doesn’t have it in their right mind to be thinking about this. I don’t know about them, but i’m willing to make this D-O-P-E, as soon as i figure out who’s gonna be up for it…

• Saturday (11.20.10): Longanisa meal in the morning (or afternoon, i guess), then a treatment of get-better tea &whatnot. Parents care. Yes, in an annoying way. Anyway, the day carried out by gathering songs &song transitions i could use for the choreography that i’m gonna have to think about, WHICH i was GOING TO create &edit over Thanksgiving break, but that’s not going to work out because the length of the music all depends on who’s performing. xP Later that night, i actually spent the rest of my time being happy with all of Playstation Home’s new improvements. Even though they’re not much, everything just works better &there’s more to do. I then realized that it was 1 AM & I had to pack up my clothes for L.A. (because over my thanksgiving break, i’m going to be there, &at the time, i thought my parents, sister, & I were leaving at 11 AM in the morning.)

• Sunday (11.21.10): &When i woke up, it was already 12 in the afternoon (&no, i didn’t rush). My parents were just downstairs getting ready to eat lunch, only to prove that i was told mistakenly about when we were leaving. xP So then the rest of my day has been a bit crummy &unproductive. Music here &there, while keeping up with what’s new in the internet along with the stuff i “feed” on, and then i just decided not to procrastinate any longer in typing my “Aspect of Existence” post.

I’m pretty sure there’s homework to be done &lurking in my backpack, but for now, I don’t know why, but i just wanna put the stress behind me &get ready to leave tonight.

Closing Thoughts:

1. FAAAACK i’m not gonna be home when GT5 comes out, but i guss i’ll play it later in the week.
2. &Then there’s the “Bass Down Low” video that my friends & I needa catch up on (‘cause it’s starting to be played more throughout the radio &who knows? If we finish it &the song gets popular, we’ll get more views! Ahaha, even though we’re only doing it for fun).
3. SO! L.A. here i come!
4. &No productivity in breakdancing or the choreography because i’m still sick… here i still am. T_T

My Aspect of Existence #19

-November 7th of the 2010
Started final editing on 9:00 PM

Observant, open-minded, clearly thinking just a little outside the box (but living inside it), and you get me.
Recap to find purpose, faults, room for improvements, pure reminiscing when necessary, and you get my “Aspect of Existence” posts.

Ahah, i should start out with some poetry in all of my “Aspect of Existence” entries from now on huh? HAAAAAH, that would be SO un-me. “The Message is the Concept.” as quoted by the brand Acrylick. They have simple, yet dope clothing, as a lot of underground brands do, but i like their slogan especially. What this has to do with me? Well, the “message” of my blog could mean so much for various types of people, but how you, the reader, takes in the message(s) is really what counts.

With that in the thoughts &clouds, i present to you my “back on track” weekly blog post:

• Monday (11.1.10): So this week started out pretty mmgood. There was school. There was McDonalds for dinner. Then, went to sleep… But in between all that, I went to go cop (slang for: get) a new Droid 2! Verizon took what seemed like forever to get my family’s new phones set up, but it was all worth it when i was invited into the Android family. I originally wanted an iPhone, but that was only because of the operating system (which was MAINLY attractive because of its user interface). I’ve found that having the freedom to do more with my Android has its positive side however… which i won’t get into, but to put it simply, I love my new phone now. =]

• Tuesday (11.2.10): Twisted Tuesday. It was spirit week at my school if i didn’t get to mention. This was the only day that i ever looked forward to dressing up for, because all it was, was putting on swag (slang for: your cool clothing). Ahah, so that was fun. Then there was breakdance, but i couldn’t practice… ‘cause i had too much swag on me at the time.. T_T After chillin’ at practice though, something cliché entered my mind. A friend of mine who’s name i wont speak of, is starting to be “get at” by a typical kinda guy who likes “cute” girls but wont say he does in front of one girl. One of those girls being my friend. I don’t wanna tell this friend of mine what SHOULD be done, because of the negative reaction i might get, but i’m just hoping there will be no “heartbreak.” I mean, it’s high school, come on now. As i remember, i was a bit pissed off at the immaturity i was receiving from my so called “friends,” but then all my mind could remind me of was how usual their immaturity was. SIGH. On another note, at night, I fell asleep late again! Not having done any homework what-so-ever! O_O FMLsosomucho.

• Wednesday (11.3.10): Wednesday might as well be my favorite day of the school week. On the real. There’s never, or only sometimes, an abuse of homework laid out for me. This day’s always balanced. Sure i wasn’t so spirited today, even though it was Beauty &the Geek day at school, but it was a pretty normal, good, chill day. The good shit.

• Thursday (11.4.10): Dig dig dig dig dig is what i’m doing with my grades. &It’s been that way for about a year &a half now. When am i going to change my grade habits? xP By “dig,” i mean i’m digging a hole in my grades &it just makes it all the more harder to get off on the “right” foot to an A grade.

• Friday (11.5.10): Was SUPPOSED to be a “meeting” of the close pack of friends at the best friend’s house, but that didn’t work out due to the “flakes” &misinterpreted schedules of various people. WACK. It was pretty chill at Jhun’s though. Rarely do we get bro moments anymore ‘cause everybody does their own thing with busy schedules, restrictions, &whatnot. Kickin’ it has only been left behind by summer’s last impressions… Later that day, at my auntie’s place, we watched Fast &Furious, played COD for some good hours (like ‘til 1 am), &played Wii Fit Plus ‘til 4 AM (TALK ABOUT EXERCISING AT THE WRONG TIME.) Ahah, all fun times though. Did i mention i was sleeping over?

• Saturday (11.6.10): Woke up. Bagel Bites for “breakfast.” Shrek 2. Breakdance with B-Girl Shine. You know what it do (short session though). R/C Drift with the young cousin. Wii Sports Resort. Left for dinner to Jack in the Box. Came home to browse the web &keep in check with updates. Tired &just sank into slumber after.

• Sunday (11.7.10): Church with feeling during the morning. Mom treated the family to Panda Express since she had some loose cash. Went home & I swear i was being the most unproductive guy ever. Went to Wendy’s for dinner, got that soda, &headed home. The soda made me “turn on” the productivity meter for the night. Now I’m producing these words in which you are reading. Now stop reading doomass. Just kidding.

In conclusion, you should never say “in conclusion” in an essay, or anywhere near an ending, such as this case. LOL, i learned that from my oh-so-“wise” US History teacher. Ah, good times. Time to describe my header picture. It’s my city, in what i think is one of the best formations in the sky (If only i had a DSLR to capture the beauty of the colour &gradients at the time better). It makes me wonder that if i leave, will i see similar clouds again.. but hey, that thought is far away. When i took that picture, my dad was angry with me.. but i just wanted to live in &for the moment… because rarely does time ever stop in my eyes, if ever.

Closing Thoughts: I’m the type of person to need silence when working on something that needs much thought put into it. When i write these “My Aspect of Existence” entries, much commotion is wrapped around my ears, &it just DOESN’T stop. Here’s a little background about the person who sits in the warm chair behind the monitor &keyboard. With a not-so-strict-as-he-seems father clicking away, being amazed at the internet world we live in today behind his laptop in which we “share”, a mother who constantly has to ask “have you finished your homework?/can you do this or that for me because my lazy ass who complains too much about my weight whenever necessary can’t get up &do it myself?”, and a younger sister who roams around the two story house making random noises of all sorts, music is the only balancing factor. As much as a run-on sentence as that was, I’m trying to have correct grammar, at the same time keeping in mind that this is MY blog. Free of rules in words &sentences. As left off in the topic of music: To play specific melodies or beats at a constant volume are what separates me from the world i live in at the moment, to enter a realm that embraces the idea of self expression. It is with the slight “boom” of the speaker that gives me the calm “silence” i need in order to carve out feelings put into words, onto a space where it can be stored, for whatever purpose(s) may it be needed. Balance is key to life. I intend to keep this balance throughout the rest of my life &if possible, make it as flat as 50/50 in a ratio. There’s only the problem of many courses to take, &every decision is what influences the future.

So you tell me. Which way does the wind blow?
Think about it.

My Aspect of Existence #18

-October 31st of the 2010 [LATE]
Started final editing on —:— A-PM

Late &procrastinated. That’s what this post is. Like it. Hate it. I don’t know, but you might wanna read it if you’re a cute stalker. x] (NOTE: A lot of this material will be missing)

Har har har:

• Monday (10.18.10): So check it. New term. I have AP Literature (English), Physics, Japanese 3, and Statistics this time. So far, i think my teachers are nice, but i’m not judging books by covers right now. I’ll see if they stay true to their introductory words. I just KNOW the classes will be challenging though, so no backing down this term. I’m going to finish my assignments no matter what. I better live up to what i just said right now. x] Ahah, anyway, i reset this computer that i’m using with my dad because of a few little bugs that just got annoying &now it works like it should. Stupid Windows XP. Can’t wait to get a MacBook. Speaking of which, the Apple event “Back to the Mac” will be going on, come the time when Wednesday arrives. Pretty excited for some new news. I love surprises, especially when it’s about new gadgets &whatnot. >=] But anyway, away from the techie person that i am &onto the “dancing dancer,” as my best friend Jhun would say, I am pretty excited to see what’s up for my friend Cristina, because she wants to make a dance routine for her birthday &it makes me wonder if her party’s gonna be big this year. x] AND in other dancing news, i posted up the choreography piece that my friends Alex &Jopri helped me put together, as we were hanging out, on Facebook. No YouTube? Yeahhh. It’s nothing that the WIDE public should comment about, that’s why. Lastly, before I went to sleep, my friends & I wished my good friend Kristiane a happy birthday over the phone through a big 7 (or however many)-way line, during midnight. I loveee how I have a family of friends who do that for everyone we care about. =)

• Tuesday (10.19.10): First windmill (without hurting myself ; probably not clean, but hey! still a windmill). By the way, i’m not doing Cristina’s birthday choreography, just ‘cause i’m not going to be able to perform it anyway. Just like last year, her party falls on the day of my Dad’s party. Ahah, along with the Pacquiao fight, which if you’re Filipino, you know you can’t miss. LOL

• Wednesday (10.20.10): Normal day. Just the way i like it. Apple’s “Back to the Mac” Event happened. New MacBook Air lookin’ VERY portable.
  

• Thursday (10.21.10): Late start Thursdays ; Fall rally meeting ; the only day of the school week i go to church &i just HAPPEN to be assigned the most homework throughout the week ; Daft Punk in Tron Legacy (yeah, i know, i’m late. &if you just found out now, you’re LATE-er. x])
  

• Friday (10.22.10): Forgot. :P
  

• Saturday (10.23.10): Duh hallo! Fall Rally North at Great America for Key Club was pretty dope! Special thanks to Stephanie, Julie, Carolyn, Andrea, &Chris for makin’ the experience uber fun! Team “No.2” FTW!

• Sunday (10.24.10): I hate being thrown back into reality after dozing off to what is, &what was, then. (NOTE: I forgot what the rest of this post was going to be, but i’m pretty sure i was being lazy this day from the after-effects of Fall Rally)

• Monday (10.25.10): Forgot. :P
  

• Tuesday (10.26.10): Forgot. :P
  

• Wednesday (10.27.10): Forgot. :P
  

• Thursday (10.28.10): Forgot. :P
  

• Friday (10.29.10): Nyala’s Birthday partayy!
  

• Saturday (10.30.10): Forgot. :P
  

• Sunday (10.31.10): Forgot. :P

I’m actually editing/posting this on a dark, rainy Sunday in the month of November now.

Closing Thoughts: Sorry for leaving so many things out reader/future self (when i’m reminiscing back on this). School’s a bitch. I gotta get my act together &prove anyone and everyone that i can kick ass again in this new term. WELL! More on that in the next post, which WON’T be procrastinated on because I actually WANT TO express my thoughts during the weeks of my life, again.

My Aspect of Existence #17

-October 17th of the 2010
Started final editing on 8:57 PM

Boomshakalaka. It’s right about the middle of October & i hear that my highly waited &anticipated video game, Gran Turismo 5, is delayed yet again. GRAWR! The game just LOVES to make people jizz in their pants when they haven’t even taken it off yet. Grind on me will ya? LOL, anyway,

The week was less about the game &more about my life in letters:

• Monday (10.11.10): I hate days like this. School’s alright &all (bought my Key Club fall rally spirit pack &Senior shirt too), but being a couch potato right when i get home &not being able to do anything to lift my ass up to do homework &things ahead that worry me, is depressing. =T That was pretty much it. Usually, after eating at Taco Bell for dinner, i SHOULD be hyper, but instead, i felt F A T because i took a nap before then. Dammit. So the night basically ended up not looking pretty…

• Tuesday (10.12.10): Sleeping at 1AM with nothing done in regards to homework &then waking up at 4AM because your conscience cares about you isn’t exactly the kind of morning i usually like to live in. If you’re wondering what i was doing, i was up doing this Supreme Court case thing for my Government class & i was in charge of finding the evidence for my partner &myself. Geez, i didn’t think i would get through the day, but i did, &the good news is that my partner & i received full credit for our presentation &even some extra, thus boosting my grade to a B. Just what i needed. With college right around the corner &my AVID class forcing me to apply early for colleges, it is getting more &more tense to keep up my grades &never drop any grade to a D. I hate that i procrastinate. If i had one wish, then… no, i wouldn’t wish to get rid of my procrastination habits, but instead wish for more wishes[; THEN i would wish to get rid of this laziness i was born with.  My dad always says i can change my habits upon my demand, but i don’t get why this particular habit has to eat up the best of my abilities. -____- I believe i’m pretty smart actually, but there’s just that laziness… Grr. That laziness.

• Wednesday (10.13.10): Felt fat. Thanks Baja Fresh. I meant that as sarcastically as possible, because once i got home, it just was NOT productive AT ALL. I BARELY studied for my Chemistry test, AVID had me doing a professional portfolio (but i was pretty much finished with that), &then there was the infamous 2 history classes that i had to worry about. Friday is going to be a toughhh journey. Gah. To put it as simply as i possibly can, when i got home from school, i ate, computerized, Fresh’d up the Baja, &was a sound sleeper. The next thing i knew after taking a “nap” in my room, on my bed in which i SLEEP in, my dad woke me up (sorta. he was just in &out of my room. lol, “in and out”) & I quickly realized that i left the computer on, along with all my stuff still signed in (not that i didn’t trust my parents or anything, but you never know!). So keep this in mind. Absolutely NO HOMEWORK DONE. Then i wake up, only to realize that all i needed finished was just some binder organization. -_____-” Stupid. JUST stupid.

• Thursday (10.14.10): Welcome to day 1 of my 1st term finals at school. Now say goodbye to that &give a heartwarming hello to Olivia Wilde. Whooooweee! I got home &there wasn’t anything on TV that interested me (because i would just usually watch an episode of That ’70s Show &be on with my day, that being me on the computer &not studying ‘til 5 or so). That was until i decided to watch House. &After the first hour, i was pretty much hooked into watching the next back-to-back episode. THAT was when i luckily was watching an episode where Olivia Wilde made her first appearance in the show (even though i later found out it was an old episode). Still though, i rarely ever watch House (mainly because i think TV is something that sucks up my time, as it did when i was a kid. NOT SAYING it’s pointless! just addictive) &Now that my after school snack “attacks” have recently blended into my schedule, it’s been hard to get my ass off the couch. -___- Anyway, main point. Olivia Wilde is HOTTT (yes, with 3 t’s) in the show. I looked her up online since that was the first time i ever saw her (since i’m usually only familiar with import models) & I would have to say that she looks her absolute best in the show, House. Other photos of her show too much make-up applied around her eyes, thus making her kinda look badass (which isn’t usually my type unless it’s Megan Fox we’re talking about). I don’t know, that’s just MY take on her looks. In other news, I just wanna say how much i appreciate minimum days[:
  
  -P.S. AVID &my final for Chemistry went swell. ;D

• Friday (10.15.10): Didn’t get to type on this day &throughout the weekend cuz this day’s finals were going to be the toughest.. later i would find out. That was because i had 2 History classes for finals this day. One class being US History with 190 questions &Government with 187. FMLwithpassionfruit. Hope everything went according to plan when i look at my transcript later on. I FEEL confident, but then again, it’s history. O; Later that day, my friends Alex &Jopri came over my house to hang out &we ended up fooling around &making a short, unfinished choreography. That was fun. x] &While my mom went off with my cousins to a Maroon 5 (+other bands/artists) concert, i went to my auntie’s place yet again as usual &hit up Call of Duty, ‘til 2AM. xO Eeyeah. Exhausting eye &mental strain day.

• Saturday (10.16.10): How did Saturday start? Well, it should be awesome, since it’s Saturdayy[; Hmm… oh yeah.. Overslept. -.- Cuz i went to this Soccer Tourney for Key Club, with Alex. Actually, at first i didn’t wanna go cuz i didn’t have any money on me, but he insisted on paying for me to play. So just wanna say thanks! (If you’re reading this Alex) &It was funnn. =] Then… for the first time ever (after waiting for.. since ever. lol, “for since ever”), my dad takes me to a subdivision being built &let’s me drive. First hands-on driving lesson! That certainly put a smile to my face for the day. =) I call the lesson “Sensitivity of the brake pedal.” Use your imagination[; Ahah, vroom, ERRR! vroom, ERRR. &Then i went online to perform some Photoshopping goodness. TEE &HEE. But SOME PEOPLE, by the names of Arielle &Jaymin, kept me up at night ‘til 2AM from chatting. Will i ever get some decent sleep one of these days? X’P I might have to start wearing sunglasses to fix the eye baggies. O;<

• Sunday (10.17.10): Time ta sum sum sum it up. Church » Lunch at my Auntie Maria’s » Key Club DCM (Divisional Council Meeting) about Fall Rally (lost my voice a couple times actually, but it was fun!) » Dinner at my Auntie Maria’s »

To blogging right now. &Currently having Jay Sean’s song “Tonight” on replay. Gotta cut this ending short because i’m going to edit, then post my choreography videos to Facebook. Dunno if i want the public to see it yet, unless i get more demand, ahah.

Closing Thoughts: This post may be not as good as the previous one, but hey, the other one was mainly about my little “obsession” with dancing. Welcome back to normal-ness. Uhh.. starting a new term for school tomorrow. Not so exciting since i have an AP class. Boohoo, but what’s new? &Dammit, the rain was in town today & i hope the sunshine comes back. After this week’s over… time for Fall Rally North at Great America! YEAH!!! Let’s go Division 7 South Monsters!!! >:D

Usually i type this particular kind of post pretty long, but i think i’m going to cut it short this time. This is only because i haven’t been typing in the draft everyday to document what happened, but i didn’t have the time for that either, err.. this week at least. So i’m pretty much blogging everything just now (Sunday). I’m going to keep things pretty simple &straight to the point, since there’s a first time for everything, right?

So let’s seee:

• Monday (10.4.10): Forgot what happened. I can’t remember up to this point.

• Tuesday (10.5.10): Coindrop. I grew an interest in getting that move, because it looked simpler than a windmill &it could help me get a starting idea on windmills anyway. Other than that, i went over to Vocal/Glee club to check it out because a friend of mine suggested i do. She says i can “sing,” but i highly doubt that. I don’t know anything about singing, but i went to check it out &it just.. didn’t feel right. So I think i’m just going to wait ‘til I start learning when i join my church’s choir, perhaps[;

• Wednesday (10.6.10): Inspired by Movement Lifestyle. This day is the day i officially became a fan of their dance company, at least, i think so. Teehee. Meanwhile in the home of high school, I had link crew training for the next day. Freshmen these days are.. interesting. In the way that they come into high school being THEE MOST cliche types of groups, not even kidding. I would’ve thought it gets better with every generation, but I guess it just depends.. on.. something. lol

• Thursday (10.7.10): FMLwithpassionfruitflavor. >:P This is by far the most tiring day of the week. I don’t think i’ve ever felt so unconfident in the projects i have to do for school this much. I stayed up really late (4AM to be specific) to finish this final draft for my US History essay &this one assignment for Government. I HATE HISTORY. Simple as that. &Props to my best friend for encouraging me to not give up this night, because i was about to just “fuckit &go to sleep.” I didn’t finish the assignments the way i wanted to, but hey, that’s what i get for not properly time managing. =/
  

• Friday (10.8.10): Finding Forrester. My class finished up the movie in AVID this day &even though i’ve seen it before, it’s always good to refresh your inspiration drive. Aside from the inspiring first period, here comes the deadline for a bunch of assignments. After that, i kicked it with the family of friends at Thao’s house, a friend of mine. It was just a chill kickback with everybody doin’ their own thing &I, as usual, doing thee breakdancing &whatnot. There WAS a complication with my dad tho. Err.. my stupid phone (which is about to be replaced next month!) started acting up &draining my battery from my dad’s calls (which i didn’t hear cuz i was dancing) like a mother… phoner (o_O not the best way to put it, but yeeeah). &So my dad started getting mad at me for the littlest things &this lasted up ‘til the usual dinner at my auntie’s, which turned out being a lot of shouting in yet another round of matches in Call of Duty. Ooooh that game. Gets me pumped when playing multiplayer. x] My cousins are getting pretty good though… perhaps a little too good… -____-

• Saturday (10.9.10): Took the SAT > Peanut butter panini for lunch > Nap on couch > Woke up &went to church > McDonalds for dinner > Hyper &didn’t sleep ‘til 3AM, looking up, not THEE MOST randomest things, but pretty random, i would say.
  

• Sunday (10.10.10):  Hey look! It’s 10.10.10 today. >:] K, uhm.. Who REALLY cares? WOOH! Once every thousand years! Let’s go ahead &make this a BIG DEAL shall we? Yes, the SARCASM implied. Okay, so anyway: Lunch at g-mama’s (grandmother’s) with a get together of my uncles from my mom’s side > Pinkberry (ice cream/yogurt place) > Home to do homework, projects, etc. >

&The rest of the day was history, so they say. I’m finally able to get on the computer &finish up this post, but a lot of things distracted me before i got to doing this post, ahah, such as my new fetish for 5-panel caps. Oh-so sexy. I’d totally love that as a present (which reminds me.. i gotta update my birthday wishlist over the year), as long as it’s not a dull color &it has a good pattern or texture (because i already have a lot of dull gear that make me blend in). Come to think of it, i should start wearing my SKITTLE-ful shirts this coming week, since i haven’t been doing so:

That’s right… “taste the rainbow…”
OF MY CLOSET. xD

Closing Thoughts: Welps, here goes finals week, if i didn’t mention it before. Yup. Plan? Kick ass to the fullest. Just like Movement Lifestyle. &Speaking of which, in complement to the header of this post which i edited myself, enjoy this video of them at World of Dance:

My Aspect of Existence #15

-October 3rd of the 2010
Started final editing on 9:27 PM

I really want my own camera, digital portable or DSLR (even better). As long as it’s MY OWN, because NOT being able to capture pictures that happen during some parts of my own life.. well, pretty much sucks. =P Goodness. Now that i think about it, i ask myself: “How AM i living my life without an iPod (or some sort of small mp3 player) &a camera by my side?” Ahah, maybe it’s just because i’m a visionary of creation, is all… Dammit, i wish i had at least one of the two though. xP

Here’s to a week that gave me pimples &a sore throat. Go figure:

• Monday (9.27.10): Forgot what i did this day because i didn’t get to log in my stuff during the day… OH YEAH. Thank goodness for text messages. Basically, i thought i had to finish this video for a government class campaign the night before, but the footage i got was just somewhat.. crappy, you could say. So i went to the park after school to meet up with my classmate Kevin. We shot this footage for “juvenile justice” but i honestly thought i didn’t know what i was gonna do with what we captured. o_O

• Tuesday (9.28.10): So the next day comes along (by the way, it turned out that the video was due on Wednesday, so it gave me time to plan) & i end up accumulating a headache for some reason. Maybe it’s because of the heat, but then again, i don’t know. Could be my teachers who sometimes put me to sleep. -_- But anywhoo, i still do da breakudancing yah. Ahah, it’s kinda cool how i gained the reputation of even being called a “teacher” now. “Each one teach one” motto ya feel me? But alas, i worked on power moves &didn’t really get to teach because i was trying not to think too much while breakdancing. So strictly power &whatever my body does when beat after beat comes on. BEFORE THAT THOUGH, i was in a bit of a rush to get filming done, which i guess i accomplished (but just felt like i could have done more if i was in charge of planning &ahead too). & I was gonna give Glee/Vocal Club a try, but they ended up not having a session, so that just gave me more time for breakdance. Ahah, &when i got home, i kinda created a messed up routine because of my unscheduled naps. -_______- So then i just ended up working from the drawing board all the way to the final product of the my Government video… &slept at 4. AM. FMLwithpassion.

• Wednesday (9.29.10): I’m gonna make this one short. Chillest school day ever, so far, in this term. The goals i set myself for a typical “normal” day, i actually finished doing this time. &The video i stayed up late doing actually didn’t work on my teacher’s computer to present because it was lagging. No surprise though, since the file WAS over 1GB, ‘til i worked on it after school &lowered its quality to make the file size smaller. All good now.

• Thursday (9.30.10): Chill ass morning. Got the chance to ride for the first time in Mark’s new Civic. I really can’t believe the design of sedans nowadays. Ferreal. Ahaha, i didn’t even know where the lock/unlock was. The futuristic dashboard is pretty sick though. Makes me wonder what the FT-86 (new AE86 project from Toyota) is gonna look like. Interior-wise i mean. It would be interesting if that was also a Sport Hybrid[; But anyway, theme of this day: Parents can be annoying. A LOT. Every time i’m on the computer, the first assumption is that i’m not doing my homework, when i HAVE TO TYPE A PAPER. Dammit, it just irritates me that they give me an attitude though. I’d ignore it, but it’s one of those things in life you can’t really seem to avoid your ears from hearing. Stupid. But yeah, other than that, this day gave me hope in my grades because throughout the day, i was reminded that the next 3 weeks before the term ends could raise my grade by buttloads. BUTT. LOADS. So i gotta focus more than ever now.
  
  &-P.S. I still hate these long term projects i’ve been getting. Senioritis can just FML in the ass.

• Friday (10.1.10): School was very predictable this day, but i don’t know why i couldn’t prepare myself for the worst that was to happen. Anyway, the action didn’t start ‘til the usual dinner at my auntie’s place. My little cousin got the Iron Man 2 DVD, but my other cousins were more interested in playing some COD:MW2. So, we did. &Later, a friend of my cousin, Eudeline, wants to play me online. So it ended up being a private match, which i really had no experience with, much. &I lost the first round to the guy’s cousin, but when i’m only lvl 9 or so with my cousin’s online account for his PS3, it’s acceptable right? (By the way, the guy i was playing was lvl 70 &i don’t know what prestige, but does it matter? lol) Ahah, but i became better when playing on the same map against the guy i was really supposed to be playing against. It was a close &heated match to 1500 points (each kill being 50), constantly being tied in score, until the last points when i luckily got a 3 kill streak, thus getting radar, thus going on a hunting spree. Next thing i knew, i was going for 4 kill streak, 5 kill streak, &then ending the game with a win. WOOT WOOT. Intense. Love that game. Right after though, my little cousin Paolo begs me to play RC cars with him. So i did. However, it’s definitely not boring, because we… we drift. CHEEYEAH! We each have RC cars that change tires &settings to fit drifting needs. &Even though they’re not top notch, but instead from Toys-R-Us, it’s still fun to play around. Setting up a little course &taking turns at getting close to the wall while drifting sideways.. ahh.. that’s the kid life. I love being able to still be a kid, in my mind at least[; That’s where the real fun is at. Anywhoo, i started bringing over my RC car to Paolo’s house over the usual Fridays &i guess we’ll be practicing for the day when we get to buy the professional drift RC cars by Yokomo. Ahah, i’m actually thinking of making a video compilation with all the times that we play around, but who knows? Just an idea[; Oh yeah, before i got back to drifting my RC toy, i stripped it from most of the decals that were on it, just to have the plain &clean stock look:
  
  &I think i’m very much satisfied. Wanna give me a sticker for advertisement? x] Just kidding, but it IS a thought though (even though you can’t go wrong with a car looking stock).

• Saturday (10.2.10): Early day as i started with some cereal &good hours of rallying in tennis with my cousins Huey, &Ria, &some of their friends. To keep a long story short, after that, we went to go get McDonalds &just had lunch at their house. We watched the movie “Killers” on DVD after that, &it was fairly good. I dunno about their opinions, but i thought it was good. I like a good movie with sarcasm in it, almost like, every scene. Ahah, &after then, it was just playing Wii, then going to church, then back at their house again for a family dinner, which lasted for a good long while.

• Sunday (10.3.10): It was a day scheduled for a Bass Down Low film session, but it turned out that all of my guy friends were busy doing one thing or another. My friend Jopri came over the house during the afternoon though, but only because he needed a place to chill before his BBQ thang with his family at his brother’s place, like.. right across my place. lol, funny how convenient my place is. Ahah, but anyway, we actually got some progress down! I didn’t have any plans on organizing what to plan for what’s left to do in the video (mainly because i kept letting it fly past my mind), until today. Jopri & I worked on making text documents for lyrics &stuff that still needed to be done &such. It’s like making a future plan basically (not like my original plan of just shooting as much footage as we can, being mainly random segments of us guys kickin’ it). It was fun, but not making use of time, not that there’s a deadline or anything, but we don’t wanna keep working on this forever ya know?

So after that, Jop left for his BBQ thing &i stayed on the computer browsing music &whatnot, ‘til dinner at McDonald’s. I mention McDonald’s because my parents don’t usually take us there. So it was mmgood. &Now, i’m sitting on a chair.

Closing Thoughts: You know what? You’re eyes are tired of reading this entry, so i’m gonna cut it short. I’m gonna be productive &organized this week. K done. =]

My Aspect of Existence #14

-September 26th of the 2010
Started final editing on 9:37 PM

I’ve always wondered if anyone would reblog these “Aspect of Existence” posts of mine. Ahah, it would just be funny because then i would know who stalks me… &who just likes to reblog, maybe. x]

Toast, to a decently interesting week (because I, for one, am living my life):

• Monday (9.20.10): Captain’s log. Reporting 2 AM sharp. Late research paper for US History is finished. I repeat, finis-sike. I’m not about to go repeat that again. Ahah, feels good to have my first great feeling of accomplishment in such a long time. Maybe doing a research paper isn’t all that bad if it makes you feel this good in the end… sike again[; Well, time to go to sleep. The bedtime for me, if anyone ever wondered, is ASAP whenever i finish homework. x] &I feel it’s safe to say that i ended this night listening to “Memories” by David Guetta. It’s bangin’.
  
  After school. The little things that bother me. Now, rarelyy do ever “rant,” but i’ve gained the certain mood &emotion to do so. So just to tell you right now, if you’re reading this, please. Excuse the language.  Alright. Coming home from school, my mom was actually home early since she went to a doctor’s appointment &of course, she would nag me around (which is why i don’t want her home ‘til that time when dinner usually starts). BTW, if at any time my parents stumble across this, that’s TOTALLY fine. Get to know your son better, because apparently, after all these years, they haven’t figured out when i’m CLEARLY NOT IN THE MOOD or when i’m considered “okay.” But i’ll get to that in just a sec. I think i can handle my mother quite fine, as it IS just little chores she asks me to do when slouching around.  BUT it wasn’t until later when i took a nap that things became a bit too… irritable. This started when i was on my usual addiction to the internet again &was surfing with very little light, so my cranium decides to just pull a fast one on me &give me a headache. That’s mainly the reason i took a nap, just until dinnertime. So dinnertime came. Now, i’m not the kind of person to take long just to wake up unless i’ve been tired beforehand (in this case, i was). So i ended up having one of my RUDE AWAKENINGS. First, what i fucking hate about my parents is their inability to hear my CLEAR voice when i’m waking up to ask “Where are we eating?” The next thing i knew, my parents and sister were already downstairs (making me get the idea that they’re just gonna leave me since i overheard them saying “Aldrin’s still grumpy and sleepy” in Tagalog, the Filipino native tongue, for those who don’t know). This angers me when i get left behind for the SIMPLEST of all fucking reasons. Strike two happened when my mom went to check on me one last time & i was OBVIOUSLY grumpy. Yet, she still nagged me with literally, stupid questions and accusations. An example of this would be when i asked her “Didn’t you hear me ask what restaurant are we going to?!” Her response: “What? you said something?” If this makes you think my mom is quite the person to piss you off, honestly, she isn’t at most times. But then again, that’s when she’s lying about her image. So we ended up trying a new restaurant, called Noodles &Company. GREEEAT! Go try something DIFFERENT that i might NOT like. That’s a fucking bomb-ass idea dad. Yes, of course the major sarcasm was implied. OH VERY MUCH, implied. Strike 3 hit me when my dad told the rest of us to get down from the car, when there OBVIOUSLY (i’m getting tired of using this word &its synonyms) wasn’t a line at the restaurant. So i went down because i wanted to get the fuck out as soon as respectively possible. Then there goes my dad, DRIVING AWAY the car to park. STUPID. He asks me to get down &THEN they just… UGHGHHGHHGH! Sometimes! I SWEAR, I JUST WANNA SMACK THE STUPIDITY OUT OF HIM. Then here he comes with my little sister (since she’s the moody little drama queen daddy’s girl) and AGAIN, for like the 349623452873th time, leaves my mom behind, thus showing no love, THUS not creating a WHOLE BOND with my family. If there’s one thing i have always wanted to have, but could never put on a wishlist, it would have to be the unity of a happy family. My family now &my family that i will build in the future. But back to the main situation, that doesn’t completely piss me off, but it most definitely BOTHERS me. Normally, i shouldn’t be bothered because i don’t give a rats ass about my parent’s feelings when i’m mad at them, but now that i’ve grown up a little more to learn &observe morals &values, it makes me envious to see other families of different cultures alike, being happy together. I could never have that from my family without the feeling that it is all just a lie and that one of us is pretending to be happy. Heck, go figure though. I have a conservative strict dad &a moody liberal mom. Of course there’s going to be tensions. After typing in this entry, i’ve calmed down a bit. Personal as this may be, i’m tired of taking all the input without any output.  At the restaurant, when all of us were inside looking at the menu, i was still angry. Just angry. I consider myself to have grown up more, having made the accomplishment of being able to hold this particular emotion inside… even though it was PRETTY DAMN OBVIOUS i was mad. It finally felt like i had a functional brain in the department of emotion outbreak prevention. Ahah, i feel this way because i’ve never been able to hold off all my anger completely &reduce it to a content level. Anyway, point of this being: Parents. Love ‘em. Even if they are bitches in their own special way or act like some. I’m lucky enough to have both of mine, while i know some kids out there don’t have theirs. So cherish what you have. Love over hate. All day, any day. Breh.

• Tuesday (9.21.10): Since i typed so much for Monday, lemme put this simply to ya. I went to my first board of education meeting, since it was homework for my government class. There were some complications on the road &yeah. I didn’t really get to eat much this day, &that contributed to my SUPER major headache that i had that night. &DZAMN was it a headache. Felt like heart impulses inside my head directly as i’m walking, but calms down when i sit or lay down. i had no choice than to sleep, but at least, nothing was due the next day, because those things would be due later in the week. =P

• Wednesday (9.22.10): A better, recovered, day. My only regret was not going to my Senior Picnic, but it’s all good. I wanted to save my money for other things later in the year. OH &get this. So there were barely ANY seniors in my Government class, which is a senior-only class, &my teacher let us just do whatever. There wasn’t much people in the room, &just some friends i knew who’d rather be doing homework and stuff, so that was good &other people who just wanted to go to the picnic, but couldn’t. SO now that you know the background, the special thing about this is, after we decided to put on a film, i asked my teacher if i could practice some “breakdance freezes” quietly. &HE LET ME! =D Super awesome teacher. At first, i was only doing freezes, but i felt comfortable enough to do 3-steps quietly while not interrupting the film. So cheeyeah! I was able to come up with part of a set that had to do with mainly my footwork. WOOT &WOOT. Too bad later on, i started procrastinating on homework again &it didn’t take me ‘til the night to figure out the MAIN reason why it happens so easily. This was unfortunate because I had a government bill that i was supposed to make a rough draft of, and it was due the next day. I tried sleeping for 2 hours from 11pm &woke up at 1am, but only to find that i needed a works cited &all this RESEARCH crap that i didn’t expect to do. Yeah, my bestfriend informed me of this. Freakin’ A. I didn’t even receive a rubric.. but i bet that’s “no excuse” to teachers because the other students received their’s. My my my what B.S. Now blogging at 3am, i can say this. i’m going to make tomorrow a kick ass day for my academics, even with church that i have to attend, which eats up a lot of my time. Procrastination is over.

• Thursday (9.23.10): Not sure what happened too much this day. Some immaturity striking my teenage body into anger, but manageable, what’s new? Uhh, other than that, i cleaned up my room a bit (because there’s not really much to clean up since the space to walk in is usually pretty clear) &this helped get my focus back on homework, even though i could be playing any of my video games since i set that back up too.. but instead, i fell asleep. I fell freaking asleep. &Had an alarm at 2am, decided homework was just not worth it, &went back to sleep. THAT, was stupid.

• Friday (9.24.10): Even though i’m barely surviving, i really AM planning to do all of my homework this weekend &get ahead in my studies. I mean, come on, it’s almost the end of the term &with my AVID class constantly reminding me of how important grades are to colleges, i really gotta “step my game up.” This day went actually alright. Significance? It’s a big set-up for the time management i have to do over the weekend:
  
  
  1. Work on making my group’s video from Government kick ass, even though their shoots were pretty damn crappy (AND they were working with a Nikon. i wasn’t there at the shoot, but i’m guessing it’s my friend RJ’s D90. Couldn’t even shoot it landscape though breh? Argh. Just more troubling work for me).
     
     
  2. Fatlace DriftBattle/Car Show event on Saturday that i’m going to with my little cousin &my uncle.
     
     
  3. Haircut. Why? The spiky mullet style hair that i was going for isn’t working out right now because i feel my hair didn’t start all EQUALLY. So i’m getting a buzz cut from my bestfriend’s cousin &starting over. (NOTE: I’ve never had a buzz cut since i was probably 2-4 years old) Well, my theme was B-Boy hair, so i’m trying to pull this off throughout the year. Then in college, time to go back to some good ol’ “Asian hair.”
     -P.S. I might get bleached sometime soon &it WILL look weird. That is, until my black/dark-brown hair starts growing back instantly[;
     
     
  4. AND homework. OH-so-sweet, homework. >:P
  
  That’s pretty much the plan. I’m barely gonna have time for homework, but i’m gonna try to make this work. For now, gotta go to my auntie’s house for a “festive-Filipino-themed breakfast dinner” (eating with bare hands on banana leaves FTW!) &then my little cousin Paolo is probably gonna sleepover, for the drift event tomorrow. STOKED. =]

• Saturday (9.25.10):
  
  Went to the Fatlace drift session &car showcase! That was pretty much the day. Ahhh the sweet smell of roasting tires &engines screaming through imported vehicles. Delightful. :D &For the first time in so long, i actually felt bloated from all the food i ate this day. Breakfast was gas station biscuit burger, lunch was Carl’s Jr., &dinner was leftover spaghetti (which was my dad’s, MEANING hella good &fattening).

• Sunday (9.26.10): Woke up. Church. Home. Fixed mountain bike. Went to bestfriend Jhun’s to get a haircut. Went home. Dinner out.

&Now i’m at home enjoying typing so little to finish up this post.
-P.S. I like my haircut mucho lots. =]

Closing Thoughts: I’m going to get windmill, believe it or not. That’s the main focus on Tuesday. I’m not going to do anything else in breakdance club but attempt windmill… but IF i get carried away, i’ll style it up. x] Meanwhile, outside of planet B-Boy, CRAAAP i needa find a way to get my grades up because finals week is only after 2 more weeks! >=O To put it simply, my plan for the week is to kick ass on my classes, while being able to get reasonable sleep. That, should set things straight.

My Aspect of Existence #13

-September 19th of the 2010
Started final editing on 3:30 PM

EDIT: Ahah, i was in a rush when i posted this, and it turns out that i still didn’t change my opener, &so now i did. It’s been a crappy week, but i’m adjusting. Oh-so very much, adjusting.

Thus, the unmoving &unproductive, yet interesting week:

• Monday (9.13.10): I farted. But then again, that happens on a daily basis right? Ehehe.. thought i’d just point that out. x] But anyway, the week started out with not much of my homework done, but alas, what are your classmates for right? I feel really bad when i have to rely on others though, so i don’t do it that much. At least, not as much as possible[; Sooo, moving on, my friend Cristina asked me this day to start teaching her more about breakdancing, since i think it’s a requirement for her, being in the school’s dance company and all. That’s what she said[; No, literally though. LOL, for once. &Well, yup! Excited to teach my friend from “the family” how to be a b-girl. x] Even if it’s just for the fun of learning new things. Plus, club rush 2morrow through Thursday. &This time, I think Breakdance Club is doing it[; So i better start seeing some new faces at the club! =]

• Tuesday (9.14.10): Club Rush sure does a club some mmmgoooood! There were a whole lot of new people at breakdance club, plus a lot of other familiar faces too. The vibe was completely dope when being at the club, &it was a bundle load of fun to teach my friends Cristina, Danny, &Brandon the basics, since they’re new to the scene. Too bad time passed by so quickly, meaning that i didn’t get a chance to practice my windmill at all. It’s all good though. It really felt good in my heart, to have the chance to be able to teach breakdance &review my fundamentals. Aside from breakdance club, i’ve really been slacking both mentally &physically in my studies. It’s REALLY irritating during the moment of truth (the time when i’m not able to turn in my homework) &it drives me to strive harder for my education… but that feeling only lasts for so long.. Yeah, the past days have had a negative connotation, but i just blog about it like it’s nothing, when in reality… it’s not.

• Wednesday - Thursday (9.15.10 - 9.16.10): Basically, since i didn’t get to be online much for these days, my US History research project was stressing me out because of my bad habit of procrastinating, again. I ended up staying up really late on Thursday night/Friday morning to finish the paper… but after the progress i had so far, estimated with the time i spent, i just knew it wasn’t possible to have a good paper to turn in on time.. Yeah. Bummer. SUPER. I hate that i’m SLOWLY learning how to get rid of procrastination, and during my senior year too. On Sunday however, i’m still going to finish the paper so that i’m able to turn it in on Monday for half credit. I’m still doing this, because, well, “50% of something is better than 100% of nothing.”

• Friday (9.17.10): Despite the fact of being guilty because i didn’t have ANY homework to turn into my classes, i luckily wasn’t given any lectures or complaints, although i knew i would be VERY mad at myself for this day. Later after school, i went to my auntie’s house as usual, but i went to sleepover there. To “shake the stress away.” I ended up sleeping early though, because i barely got any sleep in the morning &never took a nap this day.

• Saturday (9.18.10): Headache. Call of Duty multiplayer pretty much ALL day, until i suggested we play LittleBigPlanet. But maaaaaan. I was just not feeling into it, even with my 10 hour sleep. My cousin, B-Boy Element, & I were SUPPOSED to shoot new footage of “where we are in B-Boying” this day, but video games got the most of us. I later realized that I had church to attend to, &surprisingly, i didn’t fall asleep with the tired feeling i had. Instead, i had time to recap in my mind what i should be doing with my life &thinking about how to get out of this slump i’ve been experiencing, because normally, i’m a productive guy, one way or another. This night, i slept pretty early, knowing that I have a paper to work on 2morrow &I WAS NOT GOING TO PROCRASTINATE ON IT.

• Sunday (9.19.10): Today. Woke up to lunch, having 12 hours of sleep (though 1 hour of that sleep i was awake, admiring the calm weather outside my shuttered windows. so probably 11 hours, you could say).

After then, here I am, blogging pretty early for my weekly recap (all a part of my quest to quit smoking the drug known as procrastination). However, before this, i WAS procrastinating, since i checked a lot of my links from “my summer daily routine.” Anyway, I have a research paper i need to finish & i AM willing to get it done before 10 P.M. That’s the goal (surprising, as now i actually have one).

Closing Thoughts: Now for my closing thoughts (something i type down to better myself for the week to come, as it always provides hope for productivity, so long as i actually HAVE goals ahead of me). Just thought i’d point out this explanation, since i haven’t done so before. This week, i forecast a cold or fever coming on because of my sore throat. Nonetheless, i’m still going to breakdance on Tuesday. Getting organized, actually finishing homework &early, and working out are all on my list to make things right again. That’s really all there is to it. I wanna get back to the days where i would feel stress-free, putting on my skullcandy in-ear headphones with music to block out my mother’s annoying rants, so i could work on design projects i set up for myself. I truly have a huge outlook on going beyond what’s considered “normal” in my life so far, but if i can’t accomplish the minimum requirements of what’s expected of myself, then it just doesn’t give me the right to even work on my personal projects. I now have the desire to get there. All that’s left for me to conduct is the effort to secure and attain my goal; via pursuit.
