Productive.

Making progress..

After my one tweets about making a summer project that is actually productive, I actually have! I initially wanted to just learn songs and shit on guitar or uke and get back into bboying. After my tweet, Christian said I should workout for college. Honestly, I'm not even tryna impress anyone down there cause I already have my girlfriend, and I really believe we can make the whole "impossible long-distance relationship" work. I can't really explain it, I just really feel like we can do it.. Anyways, I decided to give it a try because my arms are so lanky and skinny. They're really the only part of my body that I'm not content with. So yeah, I even bought a pull-up bar. Hahaha. I voyaged through my computer and found some various P90x arm videos that I downloaded a while back. I've only worked out like twice, but I've been sore for like almost a week. Hahaha, I guess that's a good sign, but I haven't really seen any results. :[ I'll keep at it a while and see where it goes.

As for bboying, I've been watching a lot of videos and San Diego bboy crews cause I wanna go to jams and shit down there. It seems really fun. I've been making hella progress. Mostly tryna get some power moves right now. I got three one-handed hand hops (NTS: keep legs together, kick straight up, push with arm, don't let right leg fall!), three two-handed scissor kicks (NTS: don't be afraid to be go vertical), and inverts (NTS: stretch arms behind head) today! I hella wanna get more hand hop shit in a row! I've always wanted baby mills too, but I can't even get one windmill! I might buy like a big-ass mat just for that. But fuck, when I try doing everything with top rocks and footwork, I start sweating hella bad and getting hella gassed. I need cardio!

I haven't and don't think I'm gonna learn any songs this summer. I don't feel like it. Haha.

P.S. This is still like my journal. I'm not tryna show off or anything, and I don't really think anybody reads this except for me. It's just to kinda for myself to go back one day and see what I was doing at that time. Is there a way to make this private? I'll find it. Hahaha.

Still jet-lagged.

Bored and can't sleep. Let me tell you what's on my mind.


Hit me that I graduated high school while I was in the Philippines thinking about how I didn't see Li before he left. Best fuckin foreign exchange student ever.

I'm gonna miss waking up to her face every morning. I wanna spend as much time together before I move to UCSD in La Jolla. I'm gonna miss her hellla bad. :\ Her family's hella dope and fuckin hilarious.

Likewise with my friends too. Need yo kick it with the homies as much as possible. Hopefully these two things don't conflict..

I'm gonna quit my job to enjoy summer. I just wanna chill and kick it with friends this summer. I'm not even saving up for anything, I feel like I'm working for nothing, and I have no motivation. My parents want me to keep working, but I'm hella not feelin it.

Update 51511

Wow, been a while since I've blogged last. Maybe cause I finally have somebody to talk to and tell shit to when I'm feeling talkative at night! :] Life's going greeat. Recap of the past two weeks:

• Both Bethel and Hogan's proms were fun
• Haven't been drunk or high since spring break, but kinda tryna party sooon.
• Getting money from my parents. Yussss!
• Heard about this potential summer job. Hella bank, son!

Grad nite and Encinal this week. So. Fuckin. Juiced. High school's almost over!..? Senior prank time.

I've got sunshine.

This has been a dope-ass weekend. Lemme break it down.

Talent show was fun as fuuck. Too bad after watching the video is when I realized my personal performance was hella bad and waaay better at practices. I don't know if we deserved third cause I didn't see many other performances, but I would've been happy whether we placed or not. Shit was hella fun even though I was nervous as fuuuck! Thanks for all the love from everyone though. Hahaha. Decided to go to the passion play afterwards instead of just kickin it to see my doo Awwwlex. He was helllla good! Oh man, made everyone cry and shit. Awwlex and RJ made me hella like it. Goood shit. Went straight home and KOed.

Saturday tutoring at JFK. Mr. V's still the greatest. Ate at Scotty's for my first time, and it was soo good. I didn't wanna do anymore Calculus when I got back, so I just kinda sat there until 4. Went to Squarefield then got to cotillion practice late.. We got the vests, ties, and dresses. Team pink, son! It's kinda weird dancing with other people after dancing the same pahtnuh for hella long. After, I saw the best gravity bong ever made. Props, Spotty.

Barking, green tea kit kats, music, rapping, wal-mart, bubble bath, hopping fences, pools, flip-turns, hot tubs, talks, freezing cold, teenagers. This girl..
I'm not sure how to feel or what to think about all this, but I really like it.. :]
My dad woke me up at what felt like hellla early. Went to mass for the first time in hella long, and I think it was my first time ever being early. Went to Scandia with my dad, changed my car oil, got home and KOed. Woke up, ate, and computer.

Happy Easter everyone.

Feeling that drive for some reason.

Despite the severe case of senioritis that's tryna catch me, I'm trying my best to find the vaccination. I've been pretty busy, but I kinda like it. It's like I'm running my own life now, deciding on what to do and when to do it. Prioritizing, setting goals, and preparing for college while still tryna have some fun and do stuff that makes me happy. I'm really glad that my mom gave me so much freedom so that I can learn how to make my own decisions on without her there to hold my hand the whole way.

There's been a LOT of talk about my family's individual lives lately; my mom's been educating me with some family history. It's kinda personal to put up on here even if it is my "journal." I think it's best to keep it in my head for now though. I'll just say I'm in the best position out of all my family to take these opportunities, just run with it, and hop over all these obstacles without looking back. My future and real life is coming fast, and I'm gonna get there no matter what it takes.

On another note, I've been reeeally happy lately. I don't know if it's cause school's getting to that chill mode in two weeks or so, I'm juiced for all the upcoming events, or it's the butterflies again. Either way, it's a good ass feeling. Better than being under the influence in any way at all. Maybe that's why I haven't been doing any of that shit lately. I really don't feel like I want it at all. Life high, son!

As much as I hate to admit it, band and drumline's slowly falling to the bottom of the list of shit I have to do. I mean, I love everyone in it and drumming sometimes, but like trying hella hard on it isn't gonna help me in the future anymore. I also feel like I'd be pushing for nothing except the last performance of my life, which will probably have no significance on anybody. This show's just for shits and giggles, along with the rest of senior year, anyways. This has been a dope ass school year with the best class ever. Nobody is gonna be as tight as our class, and I really believe that. Haha. 2011 a11 day.

Oh, and the talent show is about to be dooope! Get there before tickets sell out! Hahaha.

Why the fuck do I feel hella passionate about everything right now!? I need to get off this shit fast. Peeace.

Good news and news I would've rather not heard.

I was the happiest person ever at lunch. I really was expecting the worse, but it turned out to make me happy the entire day, despite the stuff I would've rather not heard later in the day. As much as I don't want feelings and shit take so much control over me, they really do. I like how things are going right now too. I'm still not really tryna rush into things, but "just seeing where things go" might just do that. I'm hella juiced for prom. Two more weeks, a day, and counting. :]

My "universitywide" Analytical Writing Placement Examination is the same day as Vallejo classic comp. FUCK me. One of my last times drumming ever. Well the future's more important than the past, so I guess it's worth it in the name of UCSD. And I won't be able to get my singing solo at the beginning of the show if I miss Vallejo! D: Oh well, Encinal will be my last. It's been a looong ride.

I'm gonna keep the rest on the low. Let's just say Dayton was waaay more closer than we thought. Fuuuuck. If lunch didn't happen today I'd be so much more pissed off, but the good news overweighs it.

I can't play high F# on my tenor sax, so I don't think Careless Whisper's gonna be an option unless I magically get and learn it on an alto. I really wanted to though. Ahaha.

Calculus has officially taken over my life.

DK needs to fuckin schedule me, son!
