Not Frosh No More

I was shocked with unknownuser's post so i decided to post something too... late at night... lalala

So, I'm finished all 5 of my final exams. With five exams every half semester, ten every semester, two semesters, that's 20 exams that i completed. Assuming every mid-term is 2 hours and every final is 3 hours, I've spent a bit less than 50 hours in an exam room.

The classes did pretty much fly by. Mostly because i wanted it to be finished so I could take a nap everyday. I guess you shouldn't always keep looking ahead because you might miss what's immediately in front of you which is the present; the next thing you know it becomes the past and you can't go back. Just looking back at the first day moving in, or even before that when we all went to the beach at night on the saturday. I think that was the day nimalan ran the red light. Moving out of my res confused me as I still had distinct memories of moving in. All the cars parked in front with the sophs helping the frosh move their luggage into their rooms. The first night at the back of perth with a campfire and some food. Meeting a few new people, some i talked to a bit, others i never talked to again.

I also remember december when i went out with some friends and said "man, it's been half a year already." Then riding in my car talking to another friend saying "man, it's been one year already". How time sucks. The next thing I know, School will be starting again and i'll be like "man, 4 months of summer is over already".
It's sad but true, one week of my summer is already almost over.

I have yet to sign a lease to my apartment. I should do that soon. I still got lots to do during the first week of my summer. After getting a place i need to get a job. Then I need to find an aikido place where i can train over the summer. I may also need to get my G license. How painful it is to think about what I need to do and yet i'm on the blog. Right now i'm just searching for specialty stores that I can work in. Want to work at a martial arts supply store, haha. Unknownuser is now a proud owner of a bokken bought and brought from london, ontario. He can now fight crime and be a super hero. "oooo, a wooden sword" "yes, happy birthday!" "are you serious?"

Now I must plan the getting of mario kart and my stomach is growling a lot. I'm hungry.... but it's late, i should sleep soon.

thoughts.

Months ago, I began working at Ontario Power Generation. when I first started working... Actually I dont remember what of what happened that long ago in the term. What Did i do this term? Went out a ton, bothered busy people with school, learned a new martial arts, went through another "situation", went on at least one epic adventure, celebrated my brithday (thanks gary, I will now go around fighting "bad guys"), met a whole bunch of work people, and refocussed myself for school.

I am slowly starting to remember the numerous days spent in the library last term....

All Nighter

Hey

Currently in my first All nighter for an exam. I don't really think all nighters are necessary but as part of the university experience (while i'm still here) I'm willing to make a sacrifice. Last time i tried this was for my psych project which was mad stressful.

Studying my physiology right now which is my last exam. I'll be back in toronto on wednesday. Ok.. back to studying.

Dream

Ok so today I went out to look for another house. This time it was at a condominium. Rent is 850 or 425 a person or 415 and 435 a person depending on which size room the person chooses. It was pretty nice.

Anyways, this post isn't about that. Recently, I've been searching up youtube for boy bands doing a capella. It was mostly backstreet boys, recently i searched up westlife.... and i'm against nsync coz they're not together and only two members really sing!
So, for whtever reason, I took like a 2-3 hour nap today. I don't know why, i just did. During that nap, i had the weirdest dream. I don't know how it started, but I remember a concert and it was westlife. But they were singing a backstreet boys song. The song that just kept going continuously was "i'll never break your heart". It wasn't much of a surprise since westlife did do a backstreet boys song before.... some boyband medly. It was kool. And then the next thing I know, I was singing it with them... maybe as one of them i don't know. I remember having the mike. Then the band turns into backstreet boys somehow coz the next time i look it was the backstreet boys. And it wasn't at a concert anymore. Of course this was a dream so i didn't notice anything, i didn't go "whoe! how did that change happen?"
Then after singing, we all just started talking. Somehow Brian's little boy was a girl in my dreams. And everything turned mad weird after that. Brian had to go to some place up north to consult some elders who were romans and to ask them if his now daughter could stay with them. Some kind of situation was happening... i dunno. My dreams are random. So I decided to go walk with him. Which is also stupid coz on the map, it was probably like a few hour plane ride up to the location. But we decide to walk??? Dreams... so not logical. But I decide to walk with him during the night coz i wanted some one on one talking time. Brian is too kool.

And then I receive a phone call from a friend going to the library... so i wake up. and it's over. lol! That's all

Posting what is important.

Jiu jitsu has been amazingly fun, alternating that with going to the gym, every day i get to go home tired and fall asleep easily. Although the time in which i fall asleep does seem to be later than it should be thus resulting in me being tired in the morning. Speaking of morning, I really like my schedule over at OPG.

8:00-8:45 Respond to emails/Initiate more emails, which thus takes up alot of time.
8:45-9:30 Work on my mindless data entry piles that i have to be done whenever, just so long as they are done.
9:30-10:00 Send more emails/walk around looking for work/ talk to the co op student who sits behind me.
10:00-10:30 Walk to cafeteria to buy a bagel, toast it, buy peanut butter, and eat this plus two fruits.
10:30-11:30 Carry out some kind of job of the day
11:30- 12:00 More emails, waiting for lunch.
12:00-12:45 Lunch with the other co op kids.
12:45-3:30 The afternoon, it goes by fast.

and then i occasionally use the gym at my workplace afterwards, then the hard work of the day is done. Whats not done is my work term report which is basicly a 20~ or so page report on some kind of topic that i notice in the workplace that i can solve, compare, analyze... etc... I need to do it soon. Soon i will have my birthday. On my birthday I will be 19. There are 19 more minutes before i will go to sleep.

A REAL post

Drafts... i believe they count as posts too on the dashboard. So we might really be at 598 posts... dum dum dum...

Monday again... I remember my last monday... i bought a bokken. I really don't know many techniques.... i have to youtube some stuff... but still! the handle part is very shiny.... maybe from sweat... i dunno... but it's just talking to me. "I"m shiny... swing me...." I dunno... i didn't know what to say without making it sound bad.

Finished my first year of classes! finished that last thursday. Now i'm on my exams... finished two so far. First one... was not great but i'll settle for it coz i can't do anything else.... I just have 3 more to go.

Got my second professional haircut today. At the same place.... $20.... so not worth it. The process was the same... the hair still smells pretty nice... but this person was worse than the other. She didn't even show me how the back of my hair looked. I couldn't really understand what she said either... but that's actually just me coz i wasn't paying attention. But yah, that ended up with me keeping the side burns. And I didn't have a chance to tell her i made a mistake... so i had to go back to res to shave the side burns off myself lol.
The back of my hair is still left a bit longer than I'm used to... but it's acceptable for now. Hair doesn't look that bad.. it WAS professional after all. Not going back to the same place again though....
Also doing drakonen's thing with the buying of a green tea latte after every exam. I need to get another green tea latte for the exam i just had. mmmm.... and second cup's green tea latte is a bit better than starbucks. Surprisingly... I actually had to try both.

Went out to an aikido dinner party yesterday. Sad to say there WAS drinking, but I didn't drink. lol! Partly because I promised drakonen he'd be the first to buy me a drink, partially coz i had an exam the next day and I wanted to study a bit that night, and partially because.... no.. that's it. Went to a place called Palasad. It had pool tables and bowling alleys. I went bowling... not cool enough for pool. Ate some pizza and nachos before. Best thing.. it was all FREE!!! We had a coupon for group parties... and also the club subsidized and paid for everything. It was great. Stayed there from 6 to like 12. Insane. I love our aikido club, people are great. I'm actually gonna go to the actual dojo this wednesday (hopefully). Looking forward to it. After that, we WALKED all the way back to campus... which took like 45 minutes. It was 1 degree Celsius outside and I didn't really have a jacket. I was shivering halfway.

Now I must relax a bit more. Maybe start studying for my 3 exams in 4 days starting this weekend. I may or may not post later.

just a post

Another one of the drafts which i have found and i'll decide to post, my posts all sound the same now that i look at them... they're like the intro paragraph, and then they stop because i run out of time... next time i should just skip to the body or the conclusion

My reasoning behind not posting was the idea of how I would rather be spending my time posting to be talking with possibly nobody, but seeing as there is nobody to talk to, and i do have a limited time frame before going out, I shall throw down a post.
University life seemed quite epic before it, during it, and even sometimes now. So far it has been filled with enough ups and downs to call it quite a journey. Having finished one school term and on my way to finish one co op term, I think its about time to look back on it all

Back from war

Hmm while looking through the old posts, i see this one as being a draft, now reading through it i dont remember this, so i will use my admin rights to bring it out. -Jonathan (DRAKONEN WROTE THIS POST ORIGINALLY) (i thought it would post as him but apparently it turns out that it looks like i wrote it)

The war might be over, but rumour has it that it'll be started two months from now. So in that time, we'll be here at home from now. We should be preparing for the next battle, but seeing how we won the last (assuming that no one failed), I think this time of peace will be spent relaxing and with family and friends.


So, we far, its none of the above since I've been doing nothing. There was some tree climbing and such yesterday, but the fun of jumping out of trees involved intense testicular g-forces that did an then unknown amount of damage and best to let be for now. So in my time of healing, i'm playing sudoku in a book that i borrowed off a friend and never had a chance to give back.

So now, I'm bored, and since I'm assuming people actually read this, my friends of the asylum, wanna go to a buffet sometime this weekend or next week? only need to bring 20 (its not actually 20, but if we do something else)... also, two bus tickets or equivalent. ? comment your reply... for yes and no... and a suitable time

Into the second month of the second term

Hey i found this sitting in our archives as a draft so i decided to "post" this, i honestly dont remember writing this

A year ago was a long time ago... I was probably still walking 30 mins from my house to get to school each day, still trying to get into universities, doing alot of things that i'm not doing now. Alot has changed in a year, i'm in my "summer" and its probably more tiring to wake up each day for it than it was when i had school. I still get my nights off, but with few people in scarbrough and early bed times, it really isnt all that much time. Weekends are the best two days of the week just as they were last term. They really do go by too fast, I really want to use the very few sick days that i have just to make them 3 day ones, that really would be 'sick'...

Living in practically a completely different then everyone really is different. Until you actually experience going to work work, you cant really understand it. The roles, the responsibilities, and the tone of office work is very dif than university.

Girls and Relationships perhaps Pt.1

Ok, so unknownuser and I were talking about.... unknownuser's relationships because he didn't update me at all on anything.

Disclaimer: Post is just me, it's not absolute. Not meant to offend anyone. I won't do this justice because my thoughts are unorganized.

Now i'm just sleepy. Don't know if i want to do this anymore. I will try to go over everything generally and details will come later either in post form or actually talking face to face.
So let's start off with a bit of an intro. University. How it has changed me... lol, i hope. Reflecting on my life here and there has me concluding about a few things. The three most important things in my life right now is Christianity, Aikido, and Anime. I'm pretty sure I posted that part already. (btw, i bought a bokken today. very awesome).

Ever since coming to university, going to fellowship on campus, I think I've matured more in my faith. (I promise this will lead to girls). A lot of people could say they are Christians without being actual Christians. Looking back at my life, I don't think a lot of it has been very Christian like. I won't deny it, I've done some bad things in my life. But so has everyone else. The important thing is to change. I felt that I had to go back to the very beginning. As we do in every class in aikido, we do the basic movements. The movements that are basically the foundational movements of the techniques that I'll be learning throughout my life. In the same way, if i don't have a strong foundation in my faith, I won't be as strong when it comes to everything else. So my life this year has been "Back to Basics: Passion for Passion". I know, i selected an awesome motto/theme for my year. Basically, the very foundation of Christianity is just loving God with all your heart, mind and soul. God loves us and so when we love God too and establish that relationship, everything else will follow. Love, it's tough, but once u know what it is in your heart, everything just turns out fantastic.

Ok, sorry, had to get through that. If you have more questions, i would love to answer. But right now, girls. So that paragraph did have a purpose!!!
Because I'm trying to become more serious about my life, I want someone who is serious about theirs. Not serious as in "no fun at all" serious. But serious enough to make the most of their lives and live for what's important. I would like a girl who has the same interests as me. They may not do aikido or watch anime, but at the very least they should be a Christian. After coming to western, I've met a lot of drunken girls, tipsy girls (after knowing what tipsy meant), and i've also met girls who just loved God. This post isn't meant to offend anyone by the way, this is just my point of view. But the girls who are authentically in love with God were not just great and fun-loving in a period of time, but they're great and fun all the time, even when they're serious. It's hard to explain.
Drinking a few beers or whtever is great, but there are limits (i don't remember where i was going with this). I don't want to ramble on so i'll just get to the meat of this coz i need to shower and play with my bokken. If I were to date someone, I would date with a purpose. What is the purpose of dating? That it will eventually lead to marriage. Maybe even have a few kids. When I look at a girl and I'm thinking of possibly dating her, I would always ask "would i marry her? could I live with her all my life?"
It doesn't sound fun, but i think there's a time and place in a relationship for fun, and a time and place to be serious.
So, the first girl. Won't say the name coz it's a public blog. She is a fantastic person! always happy, I enjoy her company. She's so great in fact that I think she's out of my league. It'd be great to be with her, but I'm not at the same spiritual level as her. I'm learning a lot form her, but i think as a man, I should be stronger.
Everyone has different views. I'm not saying this is how it's suppose to be, but it's how i would prefer it to be. It's different for different people in different situations. So it's complicated. You would have to be able to discern for yourself about what you want to do with that particular person in a particular situation.
There are two other girls who are also great christian girls that i've met at western. But i'm just trying to establish a good friendship first. And if i feel a tug saying "do it" and it's not from unknownuser, then i will. (not from drakonen either) I think friendship is important first because that's how you know the real them without getting too messy.
Also, another rule that I placed for myself is asking the girl's parents first before I date her. And also ask what the girl thinks too. Relationships require two people. You don't want to forget about the girl's feelings. But parents have also invested a lot of their time, effort, and energy into bringing their child up. You can't just take their child away from them without asking them first. A good analogy i liked was if you had a mad awesome car. Whatever great car you saw or didn't see at the autoshow. So you have it in your driveway and a boy you don't even know asks if he could drive it. What would you say? No right? Isn't a daughter's life more important than a car? Know the parents and ask for their permission. I'm generally shy. So if i do ever conjure up the courage to go to the parents, i'll know the girl is worth it. Just my general rule.

Ok, i think i'll end this portion up. Bye

Yay Easter

Hey again

So it was the Good Friday/Easter weekend, therefore i went home home for the weekend. Basically spent 3 of my four days in toronto playing smash bros brawl on my wii! finally... it was the only thing i was looking forward to all month. Got that out of my system. Pretty sure by the next time I get back, all the characters will be unlocked coz my sister and her boyfriend will be playing it.

Came back thursday afternoon right after my last class. I found that it wasn't being in toronto that's really exciting since i've lived there all my life, but it's the going to the greyhound and riding on the greyhound that's exciting. Well it's not THAT exciting sitting there and just napping, but it's just... fun. I don't know. Weird.
Anyways, came home to find that my sister and company was playing smash bros so i just waited until they finished so I could start playing it. That's... all I did on Thursday.

Friday, woke up so i could go to church for the Good Friday service. Had to go to the one that spoke cantonese because I couldn't make it to the English one on Thursday. I understood maybe 45% of what they were talking about, not because I can't understand cantonese, but because my attention span is very limited. I still liked it though. After that, obviously since no stores were open, and everyone else was busy, no relatives, I was home playing smash bros almost all day. Took a break once in a while.
Easter actually trumps Christmas. I was just reminded of that. Christianity is really based around Easter which is the death and resurrection of Jesus. I mean it's great that Jesus was born, but without Easter, Christianity would lose most of its core beliefs.

Anyways, saturday smash bros, and sunday i went back to western without playing smash bros =(. I got a lot of instant noodles though. yay!

Monday, March 17, 2008

I guess I should post something or else no one will...

very upset about my exam marks. I'm gonna have to spend the last month of school studying hardcore. So annoying, I've never gotten such low marks consistently. I usually get one bad mark, and then do better next time. There are those who do well in high school and suck at university, and there are also those who sucked in highschool and do extremely well in university. I'm part of the first group... i did fairly well in high school... and now i suck at uni. of course there are those who do consistently well. What lucky people...

I'll b coming back home for easter. Possibly my last greyhound trip back home. But we never know, i might decide to go home again during exams or right before exams. Looking forward to possibly playing super smash bros brawl. Should b back thursday... maximum playing time.

Weird thing happened on sunday. I actually woke up laughing. It was so stupid, i had a pretty funny dream and i kept laughing until i was awake. I believe i even snorted. i couldn't stop laughing until i was conscious enough to know it was a dream and i had woken up.

599

Ok people, I am doing the 599th post. SO, if anyone wants to make us happy and do the honors of writing the 600th i wouldn't mind. If it inspires you to post something so be it. It doesn't need to be significant. just POST!

I finished the Prince of Tennis manga... that's pretty important to me coz prince of tennis was the first anime I downloaded and watched instead of just watching it on t.v.
It was the series that started the anime-crazed era that is my life. Although it would be more significant if i finished the actual anime instead of the manga coz i didn't start from the beginning for the manga.

Yah... that be all. Please someone post something.

Reading Week

My reading week was pretty fun actually... i believe it was better than my 3 weeks of my Christmas break.

So, i basically didn't do any reading. I'm at the UCC (university community center) attempting to study. I refuse to go back to my rez before reading some bio. Yet i still continue to procrastinate. Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday were the days i actually did stuff.... Sunday I went to church but that's about it. On the days I didn't do anything I played flyff and started watching a new anime called bamboo blade which is an anime about kendo.

So lets start with friday. I had my chem exam at 7pm which is why i couldn't go back to Toronto on Friday. I didn't do too well on it... and based on what i glanced at other people's walls on facebook they didn't do too well either. I was mad relieved when the exam was over though...

Saturday was my birthday. Thanks unknownuser for sneaking a 20 dollar bill in my pocket... i used that and now i have no money. And thanks drakonen.. for the free test drive haha which probably would've happened anyways whether it was my birthday or not but thanks. The test drive at the autoshow was amazing. First time in a long time driving. It was especially fun since i didn't have to care about gas. My driving is usually uber conservative (don't step on gas too strongly getting a nice cruising feel). After watching initial d, i try to drive so people don't notice me accelerating or braking. Nice smooth drives are great. However, i didn't care about that on the test drive, smoothness was not a necessity although i didn't go too overboard as many of the other drivers did.
I don't like the sound of the engine. I don't know, many people think it's kool to hear the engine roar... i find it very annoying lol. It's noisy...
Don't know much about cars, so i'll leave any autoshow business to unknownuser and drakonen if they ever post.

Monday went to the dentist. Then I hung out with my church friends, went kbbq which was mad expensive for a meal. I can get full with a 7 dollar chinese meal... but no... a 17 dollar kbbq has to be the social thing to do.
after that we just went to our youth pastor's house and played a board game while just chatting and chillin. Also went bbt.

Tuesday I didn't do much either except go to volleyball at my church. Didn't do that for SO long. Vball was ok, I was a bit rusty so i wasn't too happy. It was fulfilling to finally go there though.

Wednesday I didn't do anything except flyff and watch bamboo blade. I'm almost level 30 now... yes... it is a feat. None of my characters usually get above 25 like gunbound (i don't even know if they have levels), neopets, gunz, maplestory. Everything usually gets harder to level up once u reach 21 so i usually just quit after that. The only exception is diablo II. I think it was 30 or 40 something for that. Go barbarian! u... necromancers.

Thursday... the main thing was basically going to jiu jutsu with unknownuser and then destiny's with both unknownuser and drakonen. Jiu jutsu was fun and tiring. I watched the jiu jutsu club today after aikido and I was like "i wanna try! I know some stuff tooo now!" but i resisted. I just liked the fact that I can do basically anything when just free sparing in jiujutsu. Although I couldn't implement my aikido skills to its full extent I still used it a bit. I'll probably join the actual aikido center in london though... next year haha. 70 dollars for 3 months (20 dollars off regular price since I paid 20 dollars for western's aikido club so it was actually suppose to be $90 student price). Looking forward to that next year. I only have 2 months left this year so it's not worth it.
Speaking of which i have an aikido belt test March 16th. Going for my yellow belt! no stripes! lol... although it'll probably be a bit harder since i'll be tested on 2 techniques, not just the basic movements.
Destiny's was fun too. Drakonen was kinda high.... don't know what they put in that green tea latte.
They didn't put ice or a straw in mine and it tasted a bit diet as well. If they didn't put tapioca in it i would've freaked out. I did not get drunk this week... sad or good? don't know

Friday I was planning on going to fellowship but the weather was pretty bad. Normally it wouldn't stop me, but I wanted to do something else. I was watching stuff on youtube and I stumbled upon the usage of ki energy. It's interesting too and I've been trying to become sensitive to my ki but it hasn't been working out so far. Apparently some people sense their ki very fast and others take time... or basically some people are just gifted at it and others aren't. And from the looks of it I'm not. But everyone can use it through meditation and stuff. No, it does not conflict with my Christian beliefs. So this will be fun. I'm actually interested in ki therapy. Using ki to heal others. It'd be useful if i can do it. There are actual classes.. but they're like 70 dollars for level 1. and other levels cost more. Same with CPR! that's like 70ish dollars too... i think. Kinesiology is so expensive... lol. But yah, if u ever go onto youtube, check out ChosonNinja's stuff. It teaches a lot of different martial arts and has different philosophies as well .... i dunno. It's not one of those Chinese philosophies, just i think neutral stuff. He's a christian too... if that bothers u then... don't check it out? haha...

Saturday, was suppose to go drinking with drakonen friday night, postponed it to saturday morning/afternoon... and ended up not doing it at all. How disappointing. So i did nothing Saturday except pack and watch a bit of t.v. Then I left for western.

Now I'm here... trying to study... yet posting on this blog that no one uses anymore. -sighz-

edit: OH and i ate PHO!!!!! FINALLY ON THURSDAY! thank u unknownuser. that is all

When History somewhat repeats itself

Now that we're in university, I'm pretty friggen scared about plagiarism. It's not that I plagiarize, it's just I don't know how great my paraphrase skills are.
I had to do a Psych project requiring me to make a presentation on powerpoint but not actually present it. The presentation should be 15 slides including title page, body, conclusion, and references. We were told that we'd have to do this since october... however i chose to do most of the work 2 days before the due date which was February 21st (today). My topic was on the evolutionary significance of music which i found to be a bit interesting. Well I had to or else i wouldn't have picked it. We basically had to think of a good question related to psychology and submit the question with minimum of 2 articles by january. Then we had from january to february to do the slides. However, making the slides is not the long part, it is reading and understanding all my articles that took forever. Even after reading the articles i had trouble organizing my slides. It's over now, however it was not fun. I could have done better, just like how i could of done better in my physio exam that i pretty much ran out of time and had to guess 2 answers (no time for educated guess, it was random guess).

So, due to the project, I attempted my first all-nighter. It was not all night, i stayed up to 4:45 and my body could not take it so I let myself go to sleep. Had to wake up at 9 to get to class, but decided to skip it and finish my project as staying up all-night did not accomplish everything. Eventually I had to go through all my classes, skipped my bio tutorial to finish the project. So from reading the articles to producing the slides it took around 18 hours in 2 days. It looks nice, but i'm not sure if the content is up to par.
My next all-nighter hopefully takes all night with no sleep not because i don't want to sleep but because i just want to say i stayed up all night. I found that after 3:30... productivity decreases. My main productive times are in the afternoon and from maybe 10 to 2:30.

Have to study for chem now. I would do an allnighter for chem, but 2 all-nighters in a row is not something i'd like to do before saturday.

Hacky Sack

Unknownuser... bought me a hacky sack for christmas and now i must semi-master it like the rubik's cube. However, it's not going as smooth as the rubik's cube where i just learned to do it in like a day. Hacky sack takes skill ><. I am just waiting until there's enough neuronal representation in my primary motor cortex for the foot is present so i can actually perform the skill without trying too hard. But yah, this could take a while. And when i master the hacky sack, i'll go into juggling with my hands. That could be for the summer or something.

But yah... hacky sack... -sighz-

short post..

a post about a one post

There was just ONE post last year in february??? This is very disappointing! Although not as disappointing for me coz it was my one post that provided a link for february 2007.So it was basically last year that we started declining in posts. So sad...

Most of my posts will be looking back at past years because that's what this blog is about. Reminiscing about what we did around the same time last year. I was driving last year... i'm not driving at all this year. That's not suppose to happen. I'm suppose to drive more as years go by. I could've had my G license by now. Also, reading the comments, nimalan wasn't on msn for a while. WHERE ARE YOU???
what else did i talk about... hmmm... no girlfriends... (jeez this is getting depressing), and birthday coming up in less than a month. 19th birthday... legal for drinking... although i don't plan on drinking now do I plan on drinking with underaged kids =P

I'm in university now... i'm suppose to be studying. I'm currently at the weldon library supposedly studying for psych test on thursday and a physio quiz in a few hours yet i'm here posting because posting is a good procrastination tool. Also because i'm trying to get the post count up to 600 all by myself (with a little help from unknownuser of course). I'll probably be back this weekend. Chinese new year on thursday?

Anyways i'm gonna close my laptop for now since i didn't bring my charger so it's running solely on batteries after my one hour lecture.

Thanks for reading.

Oh, and i also started and finished elfen lied. Yah... starting a few new anime series now.

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.
