As The Days Go By...

As the days go by, I begin to wonder how time has moved so quickly. I remember like it was yesterday when I was a kid running around with my neighbors. Those were the days, but now we have to think about the future. What I can do to better myself, but more importantly, the future for the up incoming kids. We were once kids where our parents believed and still believe that we are the future. So from one generation to the next, the torch is passed on. To believe in the kids and their future.

I never would have imagined that I would have such a fascination with books. As a child, I would always skim through, and just read the synopsis and ending of the book. Now, I have to start from the beginning and finish till the end. Oh, how much time has evolved.

We live to breathe, we breathe to live. God put me on this earth for a reason. I may not be an accomplished individual yet, but I will be. It's taking some time, but I'll get there.

Sometimes, it takes time to figure out what you really want to do with your life. I figured it out and that I want to become a Biomedical Technician like my mom. She works hard, makes great money, and I want to do something for her. To follow in her footsteps because I can see it in her eyes that she has high hopes for me. And because I want her to be able to retire, and not have to worry about providing for the family because I feel like it's my turn to return the favor. For everything that she has done from the day my parents got divorced. She expressed genuine love and provided me with everything I can imagine. Call me a momma's boy, and honestly, I don't care. I love my mom to death because she was the one that created me; brought me into this earth.

I work hard because that is in my nature. I deserve the best. I deserve to be surrounded with friends and family. And I am thankful for every opportunity I get in this life.

As the days go by...I think about more than just this.

Easier Said Than Done

There's a lot of things I've said in the past that I was hoping to do right now, but there have been a few set backs. First things first, graduating needs to be a number 1 priority, then from there, I can continue to pursue goals of mine. Time is wasting and everything needs to mobilize quicker. Life is short...such a true statement.

It's Decided

After much decision and long time discussions with myself, I have decided to get a tattoo. a half sleeve. It's been a long time coming and the art work is gonna be done by none other than my boy Kristian. We've been good friends for some time now and I've always had an admiration for his work. I requested that he incorporate something Filipino in there, along with something SD related. I embrace my heritage and the city I grew up in. There will never be an SD and another person like me. Less than two months and counting.

6.9 Magnified Earthquake

Wow, according to the Associated Press, no feeling this has been felt in 18 or so years. That was the first real quake I have really felt. At first, I thought my little daschund was moving my bed. Then I saw my tv shake and the mirror on my dresser shake, and I knew it was an earthquake. That's something I'll remember for a lifetime.

The Evolution

It's always good to reminisce with good friends that you've known all of your life. But when they talk about the past tense, the things you don't care to hear for, you ponder on a way to get out of it, but you listen anyways. My closest friend, Kristian was talking about my former girlfriend and putting her on a pedestal. And knowing my ex best, she's feeds off of that. And as much as I respect her hustle, I can't feed into her Narcissistic ego. The power of inflation can ruin a person, and the lack of being humble for the opportunities that arise. I've always put myself before others because that's the type of individual I am. Anyways, back on the subject, I never really enjoyed it when my good friend talks about my ex. I've mentioned to him that I've moved out, and yet he still wants to bring it up. My heart misses the old days with her, but the right thing to do is move on.

So when I was speaking with Allan, he seemed to be really well off, although he does to seem to always talking about money, but that's his motivation. To his their own and I can't hate on an individual that's after the paper. And he is another one of my good friends. He told me, and I take this to heart, "6.6 million dollars is where you can live comfortable". And if that's his hustle, his goal, then that shall be mine also. Also had a respect for his hustle.

To be continued...

Good & Bad of Being Sick..

I hate the feeling of being sick: having symptoms of runny nose, congested throat, nasty coughs containing flem.

But the good thing about being sick: you get to miss work or leave work early, and enjoy a beautiful Sunday!

Happy Easter by the way y'all!!

So What's Going On??

Work has been one of my top priorities as of late. There's no way I can make enough time for a girl, and I feel really bad because I feel like there's one waiting for me in the back seat. But I have to let her go for the benefit of the both of us. I can't let her hold me back, and I can't let her just sit there and wait for me.

Anyways, there has been a lot of news about earthquakes all over the globe. The first a devastating one in Haiti, the next in Chile, one that happened here in Julian, another in Turkey, and then another one in Santiago, Chile. When an earthquake happens, there's nothing we can do to prevent it. So we should be prepared for the worst. 2010 is a year of preparation, and the year of the earthquakes.

Off the subject, I've been searching high and low for these shoes and I've finally got them in my arsenal. Breakin necks on the court with my Nike Kobe V Bruce Lee's and gonna be breakin necks with the Jordan True Blue III's. Now, after acquiring these purchases, I will continue to stack paper as high as I can.

Also got a few games for my Playstation 3. Fight Night Round 4 and NBA 2K10. And also got a new controller..finally! So now, everything I wanted is now complete. I don't play my Playstation much, but now I have a reason to with these new games.

But, I'm still going to make time for reading, as it's been one of my passions lately. I know, I know, I'm a book nerd. But reading books help exercise my mind, and I feel that it hasn't been exercised enough. Too much surfing the web could strain your eyes because your eyes are fixated at the computer screen for so long.

"Just do you, and I'll do me."

I never understood it until all the hardships.
