Perception of Mic

Another personal post, but really when will I not post anything personal?
This post is very messy and unorganized.. just like my life right now 
They say often we say things about ourselves that aren't necessarily true. By that I mean when we describe ourselves to others, they may not perceive you the same way you perceive yourself to be. I thought I'd write this because lately I've been caring too much of what other people think of me. I used to not care, but I feel as if as long as I stay true to myself (whatever that may be) and I make good first impressions (by not being awkward ) then all is good. I like to think in other people's shoes a lot of the time anyways.

Keep in mind that these perceptions can change at anytime. People change. These are just my current thoughts and I could be wrong about some things.

What I think of myself
-Good looking/handsome when I want to be
-Gambino flow (rap,sing, thoughts, talk)
-Awkward sometimes when I'm not 100% with it
-Unpredictable
-Calm
-Chill
-Reserved
-Confused
-Goofy (i like to laugh at myself)
-obsessed with perfection in what I desire
-sensitive
-thoughtful (often too much)
-Straightforward
-nice smile
-Indecisive

What family thinks of me
-Good looking/handsome
-Quiet
-Calm
-Reserved
- Nice smile
-Well mannered

What friends think of me (varies)
-Weird
-Random
-good looking
-could dress better
-nice smile
-boring (sometimes)
-funny

What strangers think of me (varies)
-Good looking/ handsome (depends)
-Shy
-he's aight (could dress better)
-I've given the impress
Is there a correlation between what I think of myself and what others think of me? Is it because I present myself the way I want to be perceived or the way I know I am?

*Stay true to yourself. Be yourself. Don't change yourself for anyone else. Do what makes you happy. And let other people love you for who you are. (This doesn't imply that you shouldn't try to make the most out of your life and make yourself better!) Express yourself with confidence.
For example, my music. Write what I want. Sing what I want & how I want to. Not everyone will like what I produce. But when I have fans, they will love me for who I am.  Thats when i can slowly give back to them. Don't be a sellout!

I pretty much act however I want to. Depends on my current mood.

Si pudiera regresar el tiempo

Image
 Haría muchas cosas diferentes, claro, si yo pudiera ser el mismo Michael que yo soy hoy en día. Empezaría con mis arrepentimientos. 1. Pasaría más tiempo de calidad con mis abuelos.     Aunque yo solo era un niño, me doy cuenta ahora del impacto que tuvieron en mi vida mis dos abuelos maternos, especialmente en comparación con mis abuelos paternos que no estuvieron presentes en mi vida para nada. Extraño mucho a mi Apu Sing Sing y a mi Apu Dada y no veo la hora de que nos podamos ver otra vez, si Dios quiere, en el cielo.     Podría haber aprendido más de ellos dos. De mi abuela, podría haber aprendido a cocinar más y de sus ricas recetas como su sinigang, apple sauce, sus platos de pollo, etc. También, jugaría el Bingo con ella, ver la televisión juntos (Jeopardy y The Price is Right) y acompañarla a hacer las compras. Claro, mi abuela sufrió del derrame cerebral cuando yo estaba en el sexto grado, yo solo tenía 11 años. Falleció hace 4 años ya.    ...

Dear Ray

  Dear Ray, We have known each other for over twenty years. Now I try to hold back my tears. You have always been there for us through the good and the bad. I was a kid then and now I'm a dad. You have brought us to many places near and far. I will always remember you as my first car. I gave you the name Ray back in grade two. Also because my favourite colour is blue.  You know my son. You know his great grandparents. You drove four different generations of our family. You kept us cool during the hot summer days of going to baseball games and practices. You warmed us up during the cold winter days of going to and from church. We had a few close calls but we've made it through. We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you. Now I wonder... How many times did you bring us to: CC? / That area for baseball / Robinson's house Delta? Superstore? What I do know is it is time for us to move on. Thank you for these past twenty years. We already miss you. Love, Mic

Mi segundo torneo de ajedrez

Image
El sábado, 10 de agosto, jugué en mi segundo torneo de ajedrez, esta vez fue un torneo sin clasificaciones (unrated), se jugó en el festival de Kits.  Participé en mi primer torneo de ajedrez en mayo de este año. Gané 3 juegos y perdí 3 juegos. Fue en una iglesia y fue bastante formal.   Llegué con la mentalidad de esforzarme lo más que podía sin importar si ganara o perdiera y pues eso me sirvió mucho, especialmente ya que no he jugado mucho ajedrez recientemente por mi familia, trabajo, softbol y béisbol. De hecho, hice unas oraciones en mi mente a Dios durante unas partidas... estuve agradecido por la oportunidad de jugar tanto el ajedrez. El trofeo del campeonato (de la sección abierta) Me había preparado en términos del clima y la temperatura, pero con respecto a mi juego, no mucho. A mi sorpresa, gané 4 partidas, empaté una y perdí la última. Todos las partidas fueron difíciles e iba perdiendo 2 de ellas pero las gané. Siempre fui uno de los últimos en terminar sus ...
