Post about a non-post

Oh Unknownuser.... all these drafts that are not posted.... lol!

Yah... my titles suck.

Anyways! January 29th, this shall be the day (although i'm posting now on January 30th) that I have received my first Gi from aikido! yaaaaaaah! I thought I'd share my happiness. During classes, i'm usually the only one without a gi or the uniform we wear for training. I felt like i was the odd one out.... coz I was. I had a yellow stripe belt and yet i was all the way down the line where the beginners were. I had a white belt that was lined up in a higher rank than me (wearing a belt with regular clothes really looks... blah). So yah, maybe buying something like that will get me to be more serious about the art.

I just came back from a retreat with a christian fellowship from school. This won't be anything religious, i'm still talking about aikido (although i really shouldn't be... i feel bad). We had a snow ball fight! and all i thought during that time was "I CAN USE AIKIDO HERE!" but i didn't. I was a pacifist for the whole fight. Although aikido has sharpened my dodging skills. I dodged two snow balls that were thrown within a meter away from me and both snowballs hit the same person behind me. It was hilarious. Next time, i will be ready to fight.

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi! anime! watch some of it.... =D only 50 episodes. All on veoh. don't even need to download it. Guy learns jiu jutsu, chinese kenpo, karate, muy thai, and weapons. There's one person who uses tae kwan do i believe.... no judo though. There's sumo.... haha! for like 1 episode. No aikido though, so don't worry unknownuser.... don't feel left out.

Three Years

As one can probably tell, this blog has gone on for little over 3 years now starting in december of 2004 with just a guy named drakonen verifying his own existence. The good thing about our blog early on is that we posted almost everyday so it allows me to look back on what happened exactly 3 years ago. There was no January 12th post but there was an 11th and 13th. I had the stupid music project that i did last minute. I still remember that coz it's probably the most stress i felt doing a 3 month project in maybe 2 days. I believe drakonen came over to help too. A funny thing to also see is that i was looking for a martial art that was right for me. Now I have one! dang... how we've grown. I was so energetic in my posts... now when I read my posts it has a more...non...energetic feel to it.

We still need a new background for this blog. I remember when we used to change the background like every week. I didn't photoshop for sooo very long.

I have to figure out when the next time i'm coming back to Toronto is. I know i'll be back either the weekend before my birthday or the weekend of my birthday. I don't know if i'll be back anytime before those two weekends, if so it'll probably be the weekend of february 1st. Yah it'll probably be february 1st then since it's in the middle of when I was in toronto and when i'll be back for... some reason later in feb. yay... you got to see my planning in action from one paragraph. Neways... just woke up an hour agoish. Have to plan the rest of my day. Probably watch a few movies off dc++ then start reading the berserk manga. At night i'll probably study since I've figured out that if i can study everything in 2 weeks, studying everything in little pieces every week should be easier.

I need a life... don't really have much of a social life but i should've established that during frosh week. Too late now.

My Break.

The break did go by so fast... but after it I honestly do not remember what being in school feels like anymore, waterloo seems like such a distant memory for me. Still looking forward to going back to it in four months or so? That ammount of time just seems gynormous. Hopefully i get stuff done here while i'm in toronto. Started my co op last thursday. A week already? it sure is going by fast. Working at a nuclear power plant with all these engineers is such a different experience. All these technical terms wizing by me, does make me feel that i still have things to learn.

Judo, martial arts really are a stress reliever. Have gone almost a month without doing it, and i've got to push myself to go out and look for one, except... something always comes up, stopping me from doing so.


Juno, didnt notice their similarity til now, not related at all though. This is a movie that i went to see twice at the theatres this week, my excuse is that it was with different people, the actual reason though was that the movie was really good, I wouldn't mind seeing it a few more times. The movie is about a girl and her pregnancy. Really is much better then that description, much. If a movie can be fullypacked and can get Everyone in the theatre laughing at some point And when a good Half of the portion of the theatre was filled with older folk that were laughing their asses off too, then it must be doing something right. Just the main character alone is enough to make someone go see the movie, and the soundtrack... what soundtrack? you'll see...


what else... got to be up by 6:30 tommorow for work and its... 1:12 already... so the else will have to wait.

New Post

I believe this is my first post of 2008. Let's take a look back at the times when all of us posted something except for maybe m&m, but still he posted a bit. Now, let us fast forward to today when only two out of the four people post even if it's just a bit. By this time next year, there will only be one person posting. This is not an independent blog. I already have an independent blog. This is a blog where 4 people participate in such activities as sharing one's story even if it's only a story about their day.

I have shared my disappointments many times. Now unknownuser has experienced the same disappointment. Feel my pain of coming to a site where nothing is updated. No new stories.... You have either done nothing during the break and have nothing to share, or you're just not kool enough to post in a blog that you've helped create.

Aikido is still fun. Still learning new techniques that I have yet to master. My dual with jonathan never happened, but i did collect 70+ stars in Super Mario Galaxy. Watched two movies one day after another, and stayed home a lot catching up on tv. I learned how to solve the rubik's cube, started to learn how to juggle, and ate a lot of chocolate. Caught up on my chinese food and home cooked meals, and also watched a lot of youtube stuff containing aikido and needle throwing. Even I found two possible aikido centres in Toronto that I might go to during the summer... although it would take money so i need to get a job first. All in all it was a great holiday. Just lining up at best buy at 6 in the morning is an accomplishment. That line was longer than abercrombie and fitch for it went all around the parking lot (I do not claim that as a fact as I didn't really get to see the abercrombie and fitch line).

Now I'm back in res at western. Got over my need to play the guitar and the need for dc+. Still noticing that martial arts just brightens your day... all this new self-confidence. Feels good... but if i sleep it'll go away.

I do not think on my posts... I simply type. I think my new paragraphs aren't really paragraphs... the breaks are just the breaks I have when i lose my concentration and start daydreaming or something. Anyways, this post could go on forever so I'll post again later. Happy New Year.
