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.

why dont I see any new posts

just a week left

in one week,
i'll be done all my exams,
i'll be taking a pretty long break from waterloo,
i'll be back in toronto
i'll have to get used to more work work and less of that school work
i'll hopefully not be bored enough to post more often ( sorry )
i'll have to last minute shop for christmas presents
i'll have to pack!, the mess i've made is intense, i really am not ready to pack it all up

Slowly making it to 600

We should've reached 600 posts by now but some people choose not to write anything here. The creator of this blog hasn't legitimately written in this blog for over a period of many...many....many.... months. This is very discouraging and disappointing at the same time. What's more disappointing is that he'll most likely not read this post at all until maybe next year? I can technically bash him all I want and he won't know a thing until next year... but i would've gone back to university by then therefore missing his chance to kill me personally unless he drives down to london, kills me, brings my corpse over to waterloo and dumps it in some random guy's room.

I'm jk drakonen, don't kill me

Anyways, that wasn't the point.

I was a bit late for my exam today. Had a 9:00am physiology exam... woke up 8:55am... Let's just say it was not a pleasant experience. On the other hand, i did get my first dose of exercise running to the exam room... found out i wasn't really fit... well didn't find out, basically reminded me that I suck at cardio.

The calm before the storm, no wait the tsunami, no i think it'll actually be the end of the world

exams, we all hate it but we all have it. They're worth so much that, people who probably skipped lectures all year and wasted their life studying probably will do well on it, and get a better mark than those who showed up. What if they're harder then hard and everybody fails, and even midterms couldn't save them, haha pwned. So i enter the exam arena, wishing i had probably entered it sooner, exams start in three days, and with no classes, i'll have no choice but to study. and with the librarys open 24 hours, the last time i left it at 2... it was full. i'll have to go find some new dark corner or closet to study as the libary will be guaranteed to be full all the time, and not only full but loud. but thats ok, i just got new headphones, a small reward which i'll owe myself back for when i'm on co op next term. $100 shure earbuds, all because my roomate got the $200 ones. There probably are better ways i could have spent that money but they're jsut so... much better than the ipod ones... which probably weren't that good to begin with but they still had the w factor... one republic has their album out, but they only have two new singles? i think? just read the titles and listened to their new ones. and heroes has their season finale today.. which wont make sense because the series was cut short because of the writers strike

writers strike sucks
writers strike sucks
pdeng sucks, which is my course which i'll still have to take over my co op term, so i'll never ever be free from school
writers strike sucks
judo is cool
i should probably do more judo when i get back to toronto, i'll see
writers strike and pdeng sucks
jumper looks cool, i remember reading that book when i was so young, and researching that movie, told me that there was actually a sequel to that book, which i'll have to read, along with some newspapers when i get back to toronto. Haven't read a newspaper or flipped to the news channel in so long. Canada may now possibly be in a war or someone finally found bin laden or something and i wouldn't know.
music is too cool
dc++ is too cool















EXAMS ARE NOT COOL.

whatever

You guys all suck! booo

Very quickly. I went to a ball and learned how to swing dance. haha, it was fun.

Got my yellow stripe belt for aikido. Happy about that too.

See? doesnt have to be friggen long. just friggen post something

Paintballin

What's with all the drafts that are unpublished/duplicates?

Anyways, quick update.

Getting ready for finals. I haven't been studying as much as I want to or had hoped to do. I need to focus and concentrate but daydreaming is so fun.

Attempting to decorate room with Christmas lights... looks pretty. I've only decorated the room with my roomate's lights though so I need... no... want to buy some more lights and decorate my part of the room (majority of the decoration is on his side).

Still up to date with scrubs, grey's, heroes, and lost. Started the first episode of House yesterday. Don't plan on continuing until exams are over. I'll probably download most of the episodes off DC++ during exams but not watch them and save them over the christmas holidays. If i remember.

Went paintballing today. First paintball experience. It was fun but i wish I got shot at more on my arms and legs so i have bruises to prove i went paintballing. I have a red mark on my left arm from a shot... but it's not bruising. I'm happy, i shot 3 people my first time playing. It's not great, but i'm satisfied. Wrecked my clothes though... must wash. I have like 3 loads of clothes left unwashed coz i don't have the time or patience to wash clothes right now.

Vacuum Time

Hey, this is fake Nimalan.

I have come here from the future warning you that I have a disability that hinders me from posting. ... Lalalala

You know what I just said? "I can finally wear a shirt" please comment on that

By the way, I have things against flowers

A PROfessional haircut??? what???

Won't post much

Got my first professional haircut since like 3 years ago? Everything looks great except the back... which i'm gonna have to fix in 2 weeks when i go back to toronto.
Don't know where I left off on my series update last time but all caught up on scrubs, g.a., and heroes, now on second season of lost.

reluctant to post,

"many mid-terms, torture, help
commencement soon
bye" - was what gary told me to post

"no more midterms, but even more torture after getting the mark, please help, commencement soon, goign back to toronto for the second time since i went to waterloo, bye, Help..." - jonathan

Series Update No.1

Hey people, me once again

Got tired of waiting for someone to post so I decided to post...again.

Yah... I'm expecting a lot more updates on how I'm doing with my shows so i took the liberty of already starting to number my updates.

Ok, so i'm still waiting for the 7th season of Scrubs to air.
I've caught up on my Grey's Anatomy so I'm waiting for Season 4 Episode 4
I decided to go against watching Lost and started watching Heroes and I'm on Season 1 episode 5 for that one. So eventually Unknownuser... I will catch up and defeat you! Jk...

Running out of space on my computer. Forgot to bring my dvd's to burn.

I just re-read my last post. Did i really say "embark"? Must not post at night..

My journey

Ok, I'm probably the only guy who likes to blog or has the time to post something. Maybe it's because I always find myself thinking and reflecting back on what has happened over the past couple of days.

Few quick updates, I'm posting this one on my real bed back in toronto. yay! Actually pretty nice to post something while lying down on my bed.

Also finished 6 seasons of scrubs in little over one month. Good thing about scrubs is that it's just 20 minutes long so most of it is quality and not quantity. It also has a certain sense of humour that I love. Love the show so much it's actually my wallpaper for my laptop. Shows haven't made my wallpaper since Prince of Tennis, and that's anime.
So, now i'm starting up on Grey's Anatomy, on episode 7 of the first season. Not used to the 40ish minutes of showtime, I find that it's sometimes very draggy and although it has some sort of humour in it, it doesn't possess the scrubs humor (had to start typing humor without the "u" since we're canadian coz the red underlines are annoying). Next in line is Lost probably, then Heroes. Maybe heroes then lost coz i started heroes already, it will depend. With DC++ anything is possible.

So let's embark on a short version of my trip back to toronto. Got up at 8ish which is pretty good time for my 8:30 class (the class i've been late to at least twice). For those classes i don't usually have enough time to eat breakfast so i skipped breakfast that day as well. After class I went to buy a western t-shirt so i can wear it in toronto... my mom says i have too many dull coloured shirts so I gave it to my dad. It was also x-large only coz it was the smallest size i could find in that style.
I was suppose to get on the 11 o'clock greyhound bus, but I waited at the wrong place. The first time i came back to toronto, i waited at a particular place on campus and it picked us up and went directly to toronto. This time, it didn't so i waited for 45 minutes looking stupid. Went to the infosource to find out what happened to my greyhound bus. Person told me i had to actually take a regular bus down to the greyhound station and that there'd be a greyhound bus leaving at 12 (which was at that time 45 minutes away). So, carrying my 100 pounds of stuff, i walked back, took a bus down to the greyhound station while seriously panicking (my hands were shaking) coz i didn't wanna miss the bus. Got there 4 minutes before 12. Got on the bus, and the stupid greyhound didn't start leaving until like 12:30.

So, eventually, got to Toronto after attempting to watch Garden State on my laptop, but got dizzy 3/4 of the way so i tried sleeping. Once in toronto, got off and looked around for lunch while texting nimalan not knowing i'd have to pay 15cents per text. walked a bit around Eaton centre trying to decide on lunch as it was around 3 and i skipped breakfast and basically lunch. Decided to go with good ol' street hotdogs. Got suckered into donating 2 dollars on the way there. Got tired of carrying my 100 pounds of stuff for over an hour (my bag also began to rip) so I went home also trying to buy tokens but failed. The rest i'll leave the others to post if they ever choose to not be as lazy as i am.

Woke up this morning at like 5am coz i needed to go to the washroom and brush my teeth (fell asleep watching Garden State...) and i thought i was in my res room. I was like "shoot, forgot my room key... wait... this place looks different... when did we get 2 floors? Oh wait... i'm at home". Neways, should sleep now and put the hamster bak in the cage. Post again later.

Time to move

I don't remember if I've posted about this yet, if i have oh well. But during the end of August i just started thinking about how everything was ending. Had my last day of high school, graduation, last day at work, last day of a lot of stuff. Now it's the start of something and I've forgotten the importance of the first impression. Just looking back these past few weeks I can see that i could've done something but didn't, or did something when i shouldn't have done it. Hopefully I'll still have my chance at the first of something so I don't screw that up. Trying to meet new people but i'm still scared of approaching people and initiating that first conversation. Stupid shyness... and cowardess... what? I admit it, i'm a wuss. AND WHAT? Realized the first week was very crucial 'coz that's what makes you who you are. If you're in your room doing nothing, people won't know who you are and will start hanging out with those they do know. I tried talking to others but it's just so awkward. I don't know what to say... living on the same res and floor already eliminates like two questions "where do u live? what floor?"

Neways, I finally joined a martial arts class. AIKIDO! yay! It was the cheapest one too out of everything else... which i'm worried about but it doesn't matter. Meeting every wednesdays and Sundays. I had my first class today and it was pretty OK. My only form of exercise now that i don't have volleyball to fall back on.... how i want to play volleyball... so bad.

Guess I've procrastinated enough. OH yah, was late for the same class twice this month. Bad start.... dumb 8:30am classes. Need to start sleeping earlier but SCRUBS!!! I am now on Season 5 coz i just finished season 4 today.

Also went shopping and bought like a 30ish dollar...sweater? It's on my msn display picture, pretty happy with my purchase but i wanted t-shirts... oh well. Yah, compared to everyone else in my suite, i probably have the least amount of clothes. Which isn't bad, but i would like more variety... better than drakonen at least haaha.... unless he went on a shopping spree and bought a tonne of clothes.

OK NOW i've procrastinated enough. Post again later. Oh yah, bought 2 posters for my room too. 18 dollars before tax... yay... but pretty expensive. Again, happy with it... but my money is dying...

sick people!

Yay! i'm still sick... it's been over a week since i was sick so whatever. I just came back from my bio tutorial... i'm sad that i didn't get the hot T.A. that i hear people talking about. It's alright though, 1.5 hours of tutorial instead of the whole 3 hours that was alloted. My laptop almost ran out of batteries too during psych so i didn't use my laptop for the tutorial which is fine coz it's not necessary.

I wanna eat snacks but i'm pretty broke. Not broke broke, but broke enough that i've pretty maxed out the max withdrawl amounts from both my banks. I can only use my debit card twice a month... and i believe i used my debit card the second time buying my mini sd card for my new phone with drakonen from his cousin... i could've used that second withdrawl for 100 but instead i settled for 20ish dollars. Not complaining.... just... wondering if i could've maximized that second chance.

At my res right now coz i'm tired. Thursday is my most annoying..est day ever with 7 hours of class time on my schedule... if the tutorials were actually 3 hours. Booo to wednesday and thursdays for me. Tomorrow i only have one class so i'm happy today is over. So...very happy. Since i just came back i was sweating coz it's hot outside and coming into a room that always has A/C on is nice the first 5 seconds... not so nice the next few minutes coz now i'm pretty cold. Sudden change in temperature has made my stomach start aching. Feel like taking a nap... but don't want to waste precious day light...

Oh, hopefully no stranger knows where i live, but my wireless is unprotected so u can just try going near my house and see if you can get a signal. However, if my dad finds a strange person logged onto the wireless he'll kick u out lol! But that won't happen that much... only if the internet starts going slow.

Killing time

I'm currently sitting around at campus, in a large lounging area on a single leather couch just having finished organizing my note for chemistry tomorrow. Class ended at 12, and now I'm just sitting around doing nothing. I still have roughly an hour to go before a bio tutorial which I'm still not sure if i even want to go to.... its just that much of a pain in the ass. I only have one class tomorrow at from 12-1, and i have all my notes set up with OneNote, no more killing trees for me... well... except for calculus

Its nice having a notebook, it lets me surf the web or watch movies... I wonder if I'm addicted to the internet.... i wonder if I'll end up addicted to coffee.... Its weird, I've made friends with a lot of people, probably more then anyone else from satec... and yet I'm stuck lounging alone with just me and my laptop... there is reading that i can do, but I've caught the cold thats been slowly making its round throughout my biology lecture and I don't feel like sitting in one place and just reading...

damn I'm bored..... and lazy.... and hungry...

Start of something new

Well, now that we've all gone out separate ways, it more imperative that we stay in touch by blogging out daily mishaps. I finally have a laptop, and now that I think I've managed to get wi-fi access at school, I might as well blog from school... since thats what everyone else seems to be doing. The only problem with having a laptop is still being tethered to a wall, or in my case, a modem, seeing how I'll have to wait till around Friday to get a wireless modem from my cousin (free stuff always comes with a catch). In the meantime, maybe Gary can be generous enough to give me his wireless password so that I can steal.... I mean borrow, his unused bandwidth from his home. Wouldn't that be a kind and generous act? No?.... I didn't think so either.... I'll post more on university life from university...

Brief Report

Hey, me again, just a brief report on how school is.

Friday, woke up late coz alarm clock decided not to work so i woke up 10 minutes before class started. Generally takes 5-10 minutes to walk to class and you want to be there 5-10 minutes before class starts. So yah.

Also went back to toronto for like 1.5 days haha. Got a new cellphone yay.

Today, trying out for polevault... realized this was a university and the minimum requirement height that i have to get over is 1 m higher than my personal best. Doing that is like trying to learn how to play a full song on the guitar in one day. Possible if you're super gifted, but not that possible if it took me a year to improve 20cm or maybe 40. I don't know if it's in cm or inches or whtever haha. Actually.. pretty sure it's not metric. So now that i pretty much know i won't make it, I'll just go check it out tomorrow, see what happens. In the meantime i'm trying to learn how to do handstands lol! and might join the aikdo club. 20 dollars per term... not bad compared to the others. Should try some more handstands then go sleep. bye
