I'm glad I spent Thanksgiving break with everyone I wanted to spend it with. I consumed alcohol Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night but no I'm not an alcoholic. Still kinda bummed out Shirley's party didn't go through, but I am more than content with my break.

Cholly Bit Me

Lol I think this video is pretty funny...

Thanksgiving is coming! It's tomorrow and I'm semi excited about it. If all goes according to plan, I have a pretty good layout of the major events of my break.

Tonight:

• Wrestling group meeting around 8 to discuss matters.
  
• Show D. Young the fixie and see if he wants it.
• Go home to family.

Thanksgiving:

• Football in the morning with the wrestlers in San Jose. I'll show them what a tackle looks like.
• Come back and eat dinner with my family and Kim.
• Go to San Lorenzo and eat with Kim and her family.
• Go back home and go black Friday line waiting. Possibly Best Buys?

Black Friday:

• I will help my sister pick out her HDTV. Probably getting a 42" or 46". Helping my brother get a laptop. Me? I don't know yet. I'm still undecided since I'm broke as hell.
• Start doing homework.

Saturday:

• Possibly football again with a different group of people. I will CONTINUE showing them what a tackle looks like.
• Ilana's birthday thing. I think she's turning 10? Maybe?
• Shirley's party IF I'M STILL INVITED and if she ever decides to go on facebook and message me details! Just letting you know, I'm hella excited for this.

Sunday:

• Go meet up with my group around 12 noon @ MLK library to work on a big assignment that's due the day after (Monday).

The week after should be filled with more work and less play. However, on Friday I am SD bound for the first time in my life for a wrestling tournament. Even though the event ends early, we are gonna spend the extra night doing random things like getting drunk and roaming the streets. I hope we get into a fight. No one will expect a group of wrestlers.

Happy Holiday's ladies and gents.

Broke

I am in the music room @ SJSU and this feels like I'm in Manila!!! Lol holy shit there are hella Filipinos here EVERY time I'm here. I like the atmosphere here though. Chill music accompanies my laptop and I.

I can't stop texting on my new phone. Blackberry pearl roughly two years old?! I got it for free from a friend---but I'm only borrowing it so it's kinda weird. Hahah technically it's not really MY phone. I'm so not use to charging it yet because it hardly needs to charge. I still want an iPhone.

Soooo Thanksgiving is coming up superman quick this year. I don't feel like a lot of people saw this Thanksgiving coming so this is gonna be a public service announcement to the few that do read my blog!

Somebody needs to take me to a super crackin' SJ party. I just hasn't been to one in a whilez.

***Edit***

Or a Milpitas one. Can't recall ever going there.

I suppose everyone is watching New Moon tonight. I chose not to watch it because to me, it gets slightly annoying and slightly jealous when girl gawk at the characters because they're all hella dreamy and shit.

I mean, I watched Twilight and all. Don't get me wrong, I think it was a pretty decent movie...somewhat cheesy...but not bad at all. But for me, it's not worth the waiting in line for 2 hours to see what's his face's body or whatevs. I would watch it a week later when it's not AS busy though. Like I said, Twilight was decent so I'm down to watch New Moon if anyone is down to go with me.

Tonight, I played beer pong with Steel Reserve (40's). That shit is pretty strong. I just played 1 vs. 1 against Tien. I noticed he breathes out at the end of every shot as if he was lifting weights or something. Hahahaha. My 1 vs. 1 record is tainted and is now 50% against him.

Stupid Mexican roommates are still hella anti social or something. I don't like living here because it's sooooo...turtle-ish of everyone to stay in their room even after my offer of beer pong with them. I've been hella lightweight since I stopped drinking for wrestling that one month called October.

I'm currently listening to Eminem - The Warning. It's a diss to Mariah Carey as a retaliation to her song Obsessed who is about Eminem. It's soo much better. Sounds like the old Slim Shady. :)

I think this is the first blog I've written under the influence. I am on a good BUZZED level. Sometimes it's clicking random buttons but I just go over it and delete like a normal person. But if i were really trying not to delete shit, then it would not happen wheree it wouldn type normally.

anyways, I am not gonna be a billy luong and delete this entry like he does with all his juicy drukn writing. I just drink probbaly like 3 shots and 3 beers and a beer pong game at which i dominated.

Sunny is spillin his feelings to me about everytihng. not telling you what though. sooo sad. jk jk. Goodnight world.

Late Post

This was my Halloween night summed up in pictures.

First was Santa Barbara on a Friday night. Coulda been better but I'm content. Just wait 'til I go on a Saturday night.











Woke up the next morning and headed to LA. Most of them went to Monster Massive so I got dropped off for a night of drunk clubbing in Hollywood.





















Great Halloween. Possibly best yet. Bye.

"I strive for greatness" Without a doubt, that is some people's philosophy in life. Others live to get by and there isn't anything wrong with that. Of course, it all depends on the issue and topic at hand.

See, in regards to homework, I'm usually a "I'll wait until the last minute and B.S. it" type of person. The longer I wait, the more time I would have to do other fun-inducing activities such as surfing the internet as I am now. Procrastination gets me by school and that's good enough for me at the moment.

Regarding friendships though, I have this tendency to try to be the best to those who mean a lot to me. I try to find out what everyone thinks is a "decent person" and average it to equal who I am today. The values I hold is a mold of my friends' views of a decent person.

Everyday, we all wake up and do our set routines--some tedious, some autonomous. But some days, we have our set of routines and then some on the side. These abnormal tendencies are the things I live for. I thoroughly enjoy doing them so for me I don't see why I shouldn't strive to be at least great at it. I try to dedicate time to go over fundamental skills in doing what I do. And when I become great, I will smile.

Find your passion.

Wrestling

Wednesday, the 28th of October.

I woke up feeling pretty good (physical). At the same time, I also woke up feeling pretty horrible (mental).

Let me get into a little detail about the whole wrestling scene. My natural weight (eating and going to wrestling practice) is roughly 162 lbs. In wrestling, I'd be in the 165 weight class. I was anticipating this until a few days before the match when a wrestler on the team we know as "coach" is eligible to wrestle matches against other schools as well. Oh yeah, he happen to be in my weight class.

So that threw me off a little bit. I cut down to the next weight class. 157. I figure it shouldn't be too hard since I had to cut 10 lbs on a weekly basis in high school. For 2 1/2 days, I was eating only 2 leggo my eggo waffles, and 2 egg whites because the yolk had "too many calories".

The day of the match, I weighed in at 155.8 and maybe a thousand pounds of nervousness.

As soon as I see the wrestlers from the other school, I can say I felt lighter. I put on a hard look on my face and see through theirs...just a fake exterior.

I go out and wrestle some chump from Sac City. I had a significant lead; something like 8-3. And then, that's when I got tired. The 2 1/2 days of not eating anything kicked in and I felt it through my whole body. My arms felt like they just had the most intense workout, my legs were wobbly, my chest was heaving, my mind was shutting down and I didn't know what to do. Ultimately, I lost this match.

I can say that it was definitely not worth wrestling this weight class. True, I might be stronger than most if I can cut the fat off me and have an advantage, but I will also be fatigued as my muscles struggle to find that energy it needs to do its thing.

I'm glad my girlfriend came and watched me wrestle for the first time. If only I didn't lose. There's always a chance for redemption this Sunday @ the Menlo tournament.
