So Wednesday night, I had a basketball game. So half way through the game, I attempt a shot block, but everything went wrong when I landed on the opponents foot a tweaked my ankle. To my suprise, no one came to my aide, no teammates or friends from the crowd. But you know what, that kind of thing happens. Well I was wearing a pair of 2k5s that I have since retired. Even with the ankle strap, I still managed to sprain my ankle. Ended up being a high ankle sprain. I didn't go to the doctor because there was no time. So I took every precaution by taping up my ankle, elevating and icing. It was so painful, I could not even sleep. It was just so uncomfortable putting my foot under the blanket and especially the throbbing pain that was coming from it. The next day, I had my foot worked on by an herbal doctor. She had this small container consisting of coconut oil. She took the coconut oil and applied it on my ankle, massaging and working out the cold areas and making sure my foot stayed warm. Beats going to a doctor and forking over a tremendous amount of money just to get some x-rays confirming that it's swollen and getting medication for it. Why should I have to pay hundreds of dollars for that?
So Friday, I come into work on crutches. It helped ease the pain on my ankle. By the end of the night, I was able to walk little by little on it. To my suprise, I didn't think I would be able to walk for another week, but it just feels so good! It's just amazing how fast it's heeling! Anyways, after the painful massage of cocnut oil, she wrapped my leg with Ginger.
I was supposed to head up to Anaheim Thursday night, but my ankle was just too jerked up, so I stayed home instead. Saturday night, I was supposed to hit up Onyx Downtown to party, but I decided to stay home instead and get my ankle better. So I work out to relieve all this stress of pain from my ankle and everything else. Now I feel great and ready to work not only for money, but especially on my body. My physicality will soon be at the level I am hoping to be at once more. 8 pack here I come! That's right ya'll! Time to get back in shape. If you want to work out with me, I'll get your body in tip top shape as Summer arrives. Hit me up anytime. I'm serious, you're looking at someone who will change your life. Get up and do something.
Julius is coming back.
Pain is pleasure. Believe dat!
Dueces!

Tuesday
So my day began knowing that I would spend the day with Jaina. It's hard to see her as just a friend, but that's just how things go sometimes. All that matters is that we still keep in contact with each other and still manage to tell each other everything. She is the only person that I could confide in and truly knows me inside and out. Anyways, we talked on the phone for an hour or so and she finally decided that she wanted a new phone. It was definitely time for a new phone after the episode I had witnessed. I had told her that I was eligible for an upgrade since I have the 2nd generation iPhone (not 3g), so I could have gotten any phone I wanted. I was originally going to use it to buy her a phone for Christmas, but unfortunately, other things came up. Anyways, we got off the phone to get ready to check out the phone at AT&T.
I arrive at her house, and take her to also run a few errands. First off, we hit up the AT&T store the recently just opened up by my house. It's an extremely big store with so little merchandise. You can run around the store without actually knocking anything over. Anyways, we walked in and were kindly greeted by one of the sales reps there. He helps us out every step of the way. While he checked on the inventory on the back for the Samsung Eternity, Jaina and I checked out the phone on display. At first, Jaina was very disappointed because she thought there was no qwerty board. But we later figured out that you have to tilt the screen in order for it to become a qwerty board. She told me she fell in love with the phone. So, we got started right away to walk out the store with her new phone. It was quite a process, but everything went in an orderly fashion. So after about 20-30 minutes in the store, Jaina was the new owner of a brand new Samsung Eternity.
After hitting up the AT&T store, we had lunch at L&L's. Since Willy's Workshop was next door, we stopped through the store, said wassup to the homie JR and checked out the inventory. Both women and men lines were honestly not looking good. They need to pickup a few more better clothes an lines. We were both famished and were ready to eat. I ordered the chicken katsu as usual and Jaina ordered the breaded Mahi Mahi. What was amazing to me to see was her eating the macaroni. I would have never thought that she would let alone finish the macaroni. It's just weird how people suddenly change. Maybe I just wasn't that person able to change her. And she was like I'm finished before you, but she didn't realize how much chicken to her little mahi mahi. My portion was just remendously bigger.
After feeling a bit bloated, Jaina wanted ice cream from Rite Aid. So we headed to the Mira Mesa location, but for some reason it was out of order. I'm assuming that the lady at the register was too busy or just didn't want to serve ice cream. So we were very irritated about that. Jaina had a Hello Kitty bank that she wanted to empty out at one of the Navy Federal branches, but only the Del Mar and the Mission Valley locations were the closet to carey those change machines. So I suggested that we hit up the Navy Fed off of Mission Gorge then head over to the Target. She had to return a few things she bought during her stress shopping before surgery. She purchased a few Hello Kittty items impulsly because it was Hello Kitty. Well, we returned them they she found a pair of jeans, gray jeans frrom some designer. I told her not to get them and just dave money. I on the other hand, purchased the new The-Dream cd. His album is relaxing, and catchy and makes you think.
After Target, we wanted ice cream, the Jaina noticed the Kona Cakes across the street. But because they were out of Belgian White chocolate, more than half of the blended drinks selection could not be produced. So we decided to heck if there was a Rite Aid location near by. I recalled seeing a Rite Aid, and Jaina confirmed with Jacque that there was one by the Vons off of Mission Gorge. We stopped by Kristian's place to visit him and Kayden, and to finish our ice cream before we headed home. She reminded me to stop by my house to pick up the A Tribe Called Quest cd so she could bump it in her car. I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I provided her a sub and amp for her car. So I got the cd and end up back at her house. I was awfully exhausted, but Jaina insisted that I walk Rocky. So I did, and he handled his normal territorial markings and waste of shit, and not to mention needed exercise since all he does is eat, sleep, and chill in the house most of the day.
So after that, I went home prepared myself for a basketball game. I'm a bit frustrated that we lost and I just want to leave it at that. I'll be headed to Anaheim at the Heat Lounge. Get some much needed away time from San Diego. There's just much more to explore in numerous ways. But all-in-all, thank the Lord it was a great day. It felt great hanging out with her and showing her that I want to be there and help her out. I may not have the brain of a genius, but I have the heart of a lion.
The Lord has treated me great no matter what I do, whether right or wrong. Thank you Jaina for being the rock in my life.
Lord, give me another chance, please.

A Weekend Filled With Birthday Celebrations
There's nothing better to take your mind off things and paint the town red, or hang out with friends, drink and have BBQ's. And also, what an expensive weekend as I believe I spent close to $200. I should be holding on as tight as possible with my money especially in this economy. I shouldn't be throwing everything away on unnecessary items. Any how, my tv is in and boy am I loving it. All I need to do is paint my furniture so everything matches, paint my room and drill more holes in my wall to elimiate a few loose wires that are just hanging. Although I wish I had a better tv, it beats watching on the tv I had before.
Off to the people who were celebrating birthdays: my homey Angel's girlfriend Mellanie celebrated her 23rd birthday March 7, my homie Allan celebrated his 24th birthday March 8th and my friend Romin's birthday is on March 11th I believe. It was a weekend filled with drinking, but this time, I made sure that I would not drink over my limit. Thank the Lord everything went smoothly. Well, I have been keeping busy by reading this book entitled "The Divine Comedy" by Dante. It's a difficult story to understand, but reading over it the 2nd time makes it more clearer; it makes better sense.
I am stoked about leaving for the Philippines because I'll be able to venture out and see what I have been missing. The fish that are in the sea. I was hanging out in an aquarium for a bit, but I got flushed down the toilet and now I'm back.
Happy birthday to everyone in the month of March!
Cheers!!

My Best Friend
Yesterday, I was blown away, literally. A couple of the homies watched this funny motherfuckin movie titled "Zack and Miri Make A Porno." Seriously, it was funny, and just made me think about my best friend. I may not have known her since 1st grade, but I've known her for a whole 4 years. It's crazy how fantastically good this movie is. I recommend it. A great date movie. It'll make you laugh, and make you want to have sex, or in my case reminisce about my ex-girl turned best friend for eternity. I just thought about the good things that went on when we were together, strong. I flash back at when I had my teeth knocked out from the dentist, and she was there by my side. I reminisce about the first time I met her, watching her volleyball practice, the first time we danced. She was as beautiful as I can remember, inside and out. Without her make-up, you can see her natural beauty. And her personality is unlike anybody's. I miss those days, and now all I can do is be the best friend that I can be as much as my feelings get hurt inside. I will always have the utmost respect for her and I will always love her. Some people don't recognize a great thing when they're gone. Zack and Miri, an instant classic. I talk to her more than I talk to my parents. She keeps me level-headed and always gave me such great advice and helped me with so many things. I admit, I acted really selfish and I don't know what came over me. I was just so attached at the hip, that all I can think about was Jaina. I'm just a lost soul trying to find it's way back. There's much to learn and much to accomplish. Thank you for showing me what love is and for being there every step of the way.
Shedding tears is a side of weakness.
And for that, I'm sorry.

What An Unproductive Day
The day began laying in my bed doing nothing but contemplating on everything that has been going on throughout my life, just having flashbacks. I browse my iPhone as I do no longer have a MacBook or a functional desktop. So I'm stuck blogging through my phone, thus no pictures to your avail. Continuing on with my story, I have been browsing back and forth on craigslist searching for a wall mount for my newest addition: WELCOME! 42" Philips Plaasssma TV! It's just too bad that I gave up television for Lent. But it's alright because there are plenty of other things to do that are physically active. I have been pretty caught up with bills, paying another credit card off. I keep getting side tracked, back to the story. So I was about to purchase a wall mount for my tv from The Home Depot, but luckily I was able to get a hold of a seller off craigslist. He sold me a wall mount and HDMI cables for a total of $70. I would have paid well over $100 for everything at The Home Depot. Thankfully, everything turned out well. But I am waiting for my boy Merle to help me install it on Thursday, as it's his day off from work. I'll hook him up with some brew and food, or cash for his help. That's the least I can do. I don't scrub off homies, plus he's taking time off his day off to help me.
I keep forgetting I need to paint my room. My room is going to be fresh! I keep telling myself that I need to paint my room, and now I have to do it tomorrow. I can't take a break or I can't wait because it needs to be done before I install the wall mount. There is much work to do in so little time. If you've seen my room, you can see the half of my room is half white, and the other off-white. So I have to paint over the half of the ceiling that is off-white to white, my crown molding black and the walls gray. I hope I can finish everything in one day. I'll have to have some more help from my friends. I'll ask Jared if he wants to come help me out. Or maybe my boy Ulster who I haven't seen in ages. Maybe he can take abreak from school to come see a friend. There is much I need to do before this tv is set into place. Let's hope that everything will be accomplished in the little time I have. I'll be sure to take before and after picks this time of my work. It's just too bad that I won't be able to post them for awhile, thus the whole no laptop, no desktop thing. Sucks!
Modded Playstsaion 2 for sale with monitor, 1 controller and a shit load of games. $200. I think it's a pretty good deal considering the mass amount of games plus the portable monitor being thrown in. It's ancient! Not really, but it needs to get out of this room and house. It needs to be replaced with a Playstation 3 so I can play some Time Crisis 4 and experiencing Blu Ray on high definition. The Wii can only do so much for me. Don't get me wrong, it's fun for parties and what not. Maybe it just needs to be modded to it's full potential. Yes, that's exactly it.
So what to do now. I guess hit the sheets and call it a day. Tomorrow a morning of school, then heading over to the closed down facevalue store to remove the remaining furniture. If you need fresh gear ladies and gentlemen, get a hold of me. My boy Shane is still selling shit from his garaje. My next addition will be a pair of black Common Projects Dress Shoes Perforated. I need to step up my grown man attire as I'm getting older and older. Simple is beautiful to me. Flashy was the younger days, so it's hard to pull off gold kicks. Even though I do have a pair of Supra 14k gold Skytops sz. 10 I'm looking to get rid of. $280 VNDS. Got other kicks I need to get rid of to thin out of my closet for more room for possibly kicks and not to mention gear. Wesc peacoat if not sold will be in my possession and in my closet! Audi A8, you are as good as mine! You are always in my dreams.
If you need kicks, or know anybody that needs or wants some, a PS2, get at me and let me know. I need to fund the Julius needs money foundation.
I want another slurpee and some food for my stomach.

Free Time
I have had lots of free time lately. Most of the time you'll find me studying, but now I have room to actually work-out. I haven't felt this good about my body in awhile. And now, I'm striving to be in the best shape of my life. There are parts of my body that need to be worked on and, that's alright because you can figure out what exercise, what type of training you need for that certain area.
I am in search of a laptop, an apple laptop preferably as I have had no troubles with them and have been completely satisfied with everything apple has to offer. I'm looking for a MacBook or MacBook Pro. I'm also looking for a new desktop. Possibly an Apple as well, but whatever has a better deal will be fine.
I've learned that things will come and go and sometimes fall into your lap. Just going where the wind takes me.

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday
The memories we've shared, the time we've spent will always be treasured in my heart. As of this moment in time, words can't express my emotions. Now, it's time to envision a life moving forward from the engulfness of sadness. I am not ready to be out in the dating scene quite yet, but I'm ready for the challenged that are ahead. I am ready to work hard to where I deserve to be and that's to become successful, to become an entreprenuer, a successor in life itself. Friendship is a comrodary between two or more individuals, and being a friend is someone who will be there by your side, somone who is willing to listen when you need to talk, or gives you advice, or gives you a helping hand. And even if I can't say your mine, I love you to death. It's hard to fathom reality when it hits you right in the gut, dead center on the nerve of your heart, but God sent me here in this lifetime for a reason. To conquer and endure and move on.
It's time I get my life straight and figure out what exactly I would like to do with my life. I will be traveling to the Philippines in June, and I'll be looking to try-out for possibly the PBA or so. I'll will be dedicating most of my time to basketball. Hopefully it will land me a shot with a professional team. I'm a competitor, and I love basketball, so I believe it's time to work hard and go with the flow and aim for a goal. There are people that give up too soon, and I don't want to be that person. I think it's time to get my head straight, create a checklist of goals I would like to accomplish, and set my mind to them. A slap in the face into reality was what I needed. There's things I need to do for myself to figure out if I belong.
I'll probably be on the most terrible mood swings throughout this year, from sadness to happiness and vice versa. Tonight I'm sad about what I heard tonight, but I'm glad that I did hear it and the strong support that I have given. For how I wish I can turn back the hands of time, but what's done is done.
It's so hard to say goodbye to the yesterdays, but it is what it is.
READING THE PAST, LIVING THE FUTURE. (how true it is.)
