man, talk about exhausting. so i slept pretty late last nite. i was hoping to be more productive. woke up early to go to church. man, i was already tired when i woke up. had some intense dream i dont' remember. dreams leave me feeling really tired. so i was about to go to church with my dad, but the he noticed that my right rear tire was flat. ugh. this isn't the first time that tire's gone flat on me. well, it was exactly that tire, but same place. anyway, instead, we took a different car. went to church. after mass, we went over to Fry's Electronics to get a new ethernet cable so i coudl network both comps. at first the guy didn't want to take it back cuz it was more than 30 days since i bought it. but he took it back for store credit. i bought a 50 foot long cable instead. i looked at some other products. *sigh* so much stuff. too little money. anyway, we headed towards home and stopped at costco to see if there was a tire installation center there. luckily there was so we drove home. at home, we changed and got the tire changed to the spare. i even remembered to put the bolts on opposite from each other. so then we drove to costco and talked to the guy. the tire had a screw lodged in it so my dad and i were hoping that we wouldn't have to buy a new tire. anyway, they told us that it'd take an hour and a half. ugh. so my dad and i went inside costco to shop a little. we were both tired. we almost fell asleep in one of those swinging couch things for porches. we lingered and bought a few things. got my car. so they plugged up the hole so my tire is nice and fixed. so we drove back. my dad ran the ethernet cable around my door and into my brother's room. looks like it all works now. so now my parents can use that comp for internet. so it was warm today too. so that made me pretty tired. i went to the gym, had a quick workout. wasn't bad. showered, and came home. had a shake and dinner. man i was so stuffed. i had massive food coma. i should be sleeping soon anyway. again, i wasn't productive today. but at least i have an excuse.

wow. what a full morning. so i woke up early as usual. went to tutor my first assigned student. needs chemistry help. bright girl. just needs some strategy help. i think i can really help her. hehe. i'm excited actually to help her. so i was sort of startled cuz i thought i had to teach in cubicle 11, but apparently the girl who's usually there was teachng so she used the cubicle behind me. very odd. feel kinda weird taking someone else's spot especially since i'm new there. anyway, afterwards, i went to the dojang to teach a class. i did some more pushup drills and crunch workouts. kids complained of course. two white belts didnt' join in. i kind of wondered why. i should hvae included them. but i told them that it was an all level class, but i think they felt intimidated. so they left, i closed up and sped over to 24 hour fitness for hip hop class. class was fun. lifted a bit. did more back stuff. i feel stronger, but i wanna get bigger. i'll probably start going everyday once i get more money, or at least a steadier cash flow. anyway, after the gym, i came home, ate, and i was exhausted. man, i haven't felt so tired in a while. so i just slept for like 3.5 hours. afterwards, my dad picked up some mexican food for dinner. we had enchilladas which were really tasty. not that filling tho. i stayed home for a little while my parents went to some church group thing. i went to get them, then i went ot get a boba. stayed there for a bit and chatted. came home kinda late. hehe. not much coming up in my life. just hoping to get my bills paid off and everything. i hope that gets done soon. ugh. i'm not that productive these days...argh...

Man, i totally forgot that it was Andy's birthday on wednesday. Fuck. well, better late than never, i suppose. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY WANG! not like he reads this. but i thought i should say anyway.
so today was a typical friday i guess. no meat. well, that's not that typical. anyway, had bio class. not as boring as before. but i took notes. i finished my lab. ugh. ppl really dont' want to try in that class. i was doing the lab and again, the lab was pretty explanatory about the directions. we were doing taxonomy so we had to classify unknown animals. i'd go through the steps and figure out the phylum. ppl would try to cheat off of me that way. ugh. i started actually doing partner work with this one girl. then she realized that i understood it better than her. so she announces "wow, ur smart" which isnt' all that true. i just pay attention to details better. so when 4 ppl heard that, they came over asking "who's smart?" luckily i finished my fucking lab at that point so i just got up and left. then they said "wait, i'm not done yet." stupid asses. anywya, took my quiz and just left. came home to some more tuna sandwiches. i talked to laura some on the phone. i studied some. but then i fell asleep. i cleaned my room then went to tkd. i taught again. that was fun. did a strength training day with some speed drills. man, my shirt was soaked with sweat. i closed up the studio and went to get gas. i was SO cold in a sweat drenched tshirt. ugh. oh well. tomorrow, i gotta tutor chemistry. fun stuff. then teach one class of taekwondo then go to hip hop class. good day tomorrow. i dunno what else i'm going to do then. probably just sit at home. i should take care of the comp stuff. gotta rewire the old computer to the router so it has internet access.
so many little things to do tomorrow. Cal has spring break now. UC Open is tomorrow too. i kinda miss the chaos of it all. kind of...
i really need to be more constructive with my time...

Where to begin...i haven't blogged in a few days. i got sick again. i hate being sick. body kinda aches, nose all stuffed up, sneezing like crazy too. like, i'd sneeze about 6-7 times in a row. then 5 mins later, i'd do it again. weird... anywho, just a rundown since i haven't written in a few days. so tuesday morning, i started feeling better. not so achey. drove to school, had chem class. ended early so that was nice. after school, i ate and tried to work on my parents new computer that i picked up. for some reason, the OS wouldn't recognize a boot partition so it'd keep going into a setup mode to format the fucking hard drive. this happened over and over again. ugh. i decided to leave it for the time being. so i did do much else till the gym. i wanted to leave earlier but right when i was leaving that was when everyone decided to call the house. my grandma, my mom, my dad, my aunt, my cousin from Chicago, and 3 telemarketers. damn...anyway, i saw my parents as i was leaving so i got to hip hop class. took class (fun as always). then lifted for a while. my biceps feel stronger. i'm hitting my plateau tho. but that's ok. i couldn't do nearly as much as usual because of my sickness, but i did what i could to maintain. went home, ate, and slept. not much else on tuesday.
so wednesday was odd. i woke up early. like 8am. i dunno why i woke up so early. i actually stayed awake too. all day. i wasn't as productive as i could have been, but i took care of things. i mean, i ended up fixing my parents new computer. got win2k set up. got office, and all teh drivers are set. i just have to buy an LCD for them now. it looks so cool. black case... so nice... anyway, i had my first student wednesday night. so i got to Stepping Stones early so i could make myself feel ready. i can't disclose any info here about my student, but it seems cool to talk to him. we were chillin. did his work. i think i can help him. feels good. i stayed after a littel bit and talked to Kevin. then i headed home. had dinner, did a little school work, and slept.
today was a pretty normal thursday. chemistry from 8am till 12:30pm. long class. but i understood everything, which is good. so i came home a bit later than usual. ate lunch (rice curry. yum). and chatted for a bit. i got a call from my tutee's mom. my student had a project to finish so tutoring is postponed till next week. no problem. instead, i took a nap. i was scared i'd wake up too late to go to hip hop so i woke up with a start. so odd. but i was in plenty of time. took class. after class i felt better. my nose wasn't clogged. man, dancing makes me feel good. and bad, but i'll discuss that in a bit. i lifted again. i'm getting stronger. not bigger tho. but i dont' mind so much. i showered and came home. had a simple dinner and now i'm blogging as usual.
a few things to discuss. so dancing makes me feel good. i feel good learning these new routines. but the only thing i kinda dont' like about it is that it hasn't felt "normal" yet. if i were to go to a club, i dunno how naturally the moves would come out. i'm sure i could piece stuff together or do a whole routine, but i kinda wish i could feel more natural about my movements. i'm sure it'll come with time like taekwondo and hapkido did. but for now, i still feel like a white belt. hehe. another thing is tho, i see the ppl who do really well. they can improvise and add on moves to the routine or make it look better than the normal steps. i can't really do that yet. so i hope i can get to that stage. body control is pretty tough.
so tomorrow is friday. again, i can't eat meat. my mom at the dinner table told me to buy something tasty without meat tomorrow. i just gave her a look. hehe. she understood. i wonder what i'll eat then. usually i have tuna sandwiches. my mom will probably make it again. no biggie. tuna is good. i left my schedule open to have students on fridays, but they havent' assigned any to me yet. so for now, my only plan after school tomorrow is teach 2 classes of taekwondo. i think i'll go kind of hard tomorrow. it'll be fun. probably more exercises to strengthen their legs and such. i need more cardio. i gotta get back into it. especially since my monday and wednesday nites are gonna be spent working, i'm gonna need more cardio. i think i'll expand my membership to 24 hour fitness soon so i can go everyday. right now i'm kind of limited. i think if i go everyday, then i can gain the mass i had last year.
so i help run a site called Bronx's Junkyard. i started a contest for banners. i wanted to promote the site and get some new people to join. well, i found out today that one girl has been cheating by asking her friends to sign up and vote for her. i never specifically said that you can't ask your friends to vote. but in the spirit of things, i'm asking people not to cheat. and her asking her friends is the same thing. she's just nto doing it herself. i'm not gonna get into it, because i'm no lawyer and i hate getting into the absolute miniscule fucking details about it. but it saddens me that she had to resort to it. she's basically greedy. the prizes are coming out of my own pocket. i dont' want to pay for someone who cheated. oh well. i'm gonna disqualify her. this just sucks. i was kind of surprised by the statistics. i think she would have done well otherwise, without the solicitiation of her friends. *sigh* oh wells.
