As mentioned in several of my previous posts, I spent most of this year soul searching; trying to find out more of who Mic is and what I want to do with my life. Though I still am not entirely sure, I am leading towards counselling while releasing music on the side in the hopes of becoming famous. How I describe myself: -Reflective -Thoughtful of others I care about -Ambitious -Stubborn -Keener -Cliche (FEB 1, 2016) What I learned about myself over the past year -I like to try to keep everyone happy, as hard as that is. Surrounded by the right people, otherwise I'm "lonely" -I like to finish what I start, I don't like to start what I can't finish Favourite Song of 2016: Me and Your Mama - Childish Gambino Final Weightroom progress: 170lbs Squat 150lbs Bench 90 lbs OHP Things I look forward to in 2017: -Releasing more music -Having more time to myself -Learning -Writing -Trip to Japan -Meeting new people In summary, in 2017 I wil...

"Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you land amongst the stars." More than a responsibility- an obsession

Christmas was aight. Mostly got money and clothes. I didn't get exactly what I wanted aside from the Google Chromecast Audio from Thomas. It's alright though, I'm grown, and I'm happy to have spent Christmas with family. Us being together for christmas is enough for me and it's a blessing. Later today I think that I'll be getting my dad's iPhone 6+ while he gets the 7. I'm hoping he's kept his phone in good condition. Not to sound like I'm spoiled or anything , I'm thankful.

I will  make it big some day. The stage is set for me. I have the looks, the personality, and the mentality. I have to get myself out there more and practice and work every day. I will help change the world for better, being a role model and a positive image in this world. I will. Mark my words.

I've been a little on the lazy side. However, I can be great at what I do when I fully put my mind into it and invest a significant amount of time. I believe that the generation that I was born into (Generation Y), though highly technological, is also overall lazy. More often than not we obtain what we want sometimes at the click of a button. Compared to past generations, where they may have had to wait a couple days and had to use older methods which were not as efficient. My point of this post is that I want to obtain that work ethic and not be so lazy. I'd say that frequently I had gotten away with being naturally talented and smart to get by in various situations, tasks, and activities. Whether it'd be learning other languages, music theory, instruments, or writing; I'd like to stay disciplined and have the impeccable work ethic that the greats all have. It's definitely easier said than done, but this is the first step, realizing it and thinking about it...

Really no two days are the same. However, one lesson I learned over this past year is one big step to improving one's self is to have good habits. Thus with music currently being my primary motive, my days will revolve around writing, singing, and playing instruments. One must not forget to exercise and eat healthy to maintain good health and promote longevity in life. Activities: 8 hours of sleep Practice Japanese Practice Spanish Write Pray Practice Singing Practice Freestyling Practice an Instrument Exercise An Example of an Ideal Day in the life of  19/20 yr old Mic ~ Wake up 6:45AM ~ Pray Divine Chaplet 6:47 ~ Write in book 6:55AM ~ Eat breakfast 7:00AM ~ Brush teeth, etc. 7:10AM ~ Practice Spanish 7:20AM ~ Leave for Gym 7:50AM ~ Workout 8:05AM ~ Rhonda Class 9:00AM ~ Visit Work 9:50AM ~ Arrive Home 10:00AM ~ Shower 10:10AM ~ Practice Singing 10:30AM ~ Practice Instrument 11:30AM ~ Eat lunch 1:00PM ~ Learning Period 1:00PM ~ Practice Freestyli...

................... From September 2016 to December 2016 I enrolled in my third semester at Langara. This was following the summer semester and the spring semester. Originally I was planning on taking three courses, but mi madre pushed me to take one more, so I added on the second course of Spanish. Alongside work, school was a daily challenge to keep up with, but I managed to pull through and I believe that I passed all my courses. I enjoyed my courses for the most part (aside from Marketing.. more on that in a bit), though I feel like I did not truly 'learn' as well as I could have. Thus I plan to take only three courses next term and really get into the habit of good studying and review. SPAN  (80% B+) Laura Vass. What an amazing teacher. Ella es muy simpatica y inteligente. She was the first college professor that I had, and I'm a little sad that I won't be taking any more courses of hers. In regards to the course, it was definitely vamped up compared to the ...

A picture I found on the Internet (facebook)

Yes, t'is the Season. Christmas is coming in about 15 days. It hasn't snowed outside in Vancity since February 2014 until now. Pretty cool. Anyways, yesterday I wrote my final exam. It was marketing where I bsed everything and didn't study at all for it. Pretty confident I passed though. --Planning on posting about previous semesters soon-- In other news, I bought myself this book, which I believe is the best thing that I've spent my money on recently. I will write in it every morning when I get up to jump start my day. 😀😀

I can say that I was an obedient child for the most part. I was also taught proper discipline and how to respect others. Myself however, I believe through all the video games and time spent on the computer, I lack some self-discipline. Though not a total waste of time, I definitely have wasted a lot of hours of my life of repetitive game play and scrolling the internet. It was good in a sense that I could possibly tackle the game in different ways than previous trials, and I truly appreciate the game by playing it a lot. Scrolling the internet... not so much. I don't want to fry my brain on unnecessary junk. I can also say that I'm more than lucky, I'm blessed and spoiled. I don't ask for much now compared to when I was a child of course. It's more-so how I choose to live my life. People would die to be in my shoes. I feel like I could appreciate my life better by making the most out of it and experiencing as much as possible, doing what I like while giving back...

1) Google ChromeCast Audio -So that I can connect my devices and stream wirelessly to my speakers in my house. 2) Some kind of sound board... For music making purposes... Need to do more research on this 3)Google ChromeCast TV -Same as the Audio except for the TV. If I want to watch movies/ youtube on my ipad or laptop I can wirelessly connect, no need for HDMI cable or anything! 4)Money This is a give in, mainly for my Japan trip and to buy clothes/ other necessities 5)Nice Pens I would like nice pens because I seem to write neater and I enjoy writing for longer periods of time with an ergonomic and nice pen.  Sounds a little nerdy/silly, but it's true. Ideal pens are nice and thin and easy to grip and hold. Also the ink comes easier meaning I don't have to press down too hard. *This list may be updated before Christmas.. 6)Ukelele As I am getting into music, playing the ukelele wold be ideal for me as it is portable. I want to be able to bring it with me t...
