-Holy Saturday- I'm still in my pajamas. I had the intention of doing nothing today, and that's what I (almost) pulled off. I say almost because I (obviously) did something, just nothing productive.  So what did I do today? Well... I laid in bed, probably until around noon. Then I got out of bed and ate oatmeal, then sat on my couch in the living room and watched the Cavs vs Pacers playoff game. Halfway through the game, I decided to go back to bed and watch the game from my iPad. [I still prayed the Novena (2nd day)]. After the Pacers lost, I continued to lay in bed, just thinking about nothing really. I watched a few Youtube Videos, which is a bad habit I've had recently, watching on my iPad in bed. Once I got out of bed again, I finally washed my face + etc. When my mom saw me she asked if I was depressed, but I replied with 'No, I told you two days ago I planned to do nothing today.' But I think it's kinda true, I'm not exactly depresse...

Wednesday April 12, 2017  ~ Today I woke up feeling a little sad. Or have I been like this for awhile? It’s hard to tell. Is it my perceived lack of sleep? Is it my status/position in life? Is it because I don’t have too many friends? Is it because I find everybody around me “fake”? Is it all the above? I don’t know. I mean, I’m writing this as recently I submitted photos to the model agency I’m a part of and they provided a lackluster response, being vague with the specifics that they want. It’s nothing to be too upset about, especially since I’m able to re-send other photos (they didn’t like the photos where you couldn’t see my face). But once I received that email, it killed my vibe even more. I was studying at UBC for the first time with a girl and I really wasn’t feeling the conversation or anything afterwards. Maybe she felt the same. Hard to tell but gotta play it out I suppose. ~~ I am currently writing this on the bus on the way back home. ...

My sensitive skin. Wishing it was smooth and soft Like a baby's bum. This is a haiku which I wrote this morning and 'performed' in class today. I know that it's quite the cliche,  but I wrote it in reflection of the current state of my face: Inflamed.   I don't normally write haikus, but it is something in which I've always wanted to write more of.  But anyways, my face is red hot & burning again. Why? Well, I think it originated from the excess intake of carbohydrates which I consumed yesterday for lunch; AKA Sushi, with a hella lot of rice.  Followed by playing basketball in the first time in forever, sweating may have not helped the cause. Followed by eating the left over sushi + some baby biscuits. Then I  felt it  and  saw it;  I began splashing a bunch of things on my face, including the aloe vera mask you see me wearing in the picture below. That prob...

Today I learned that it could be potentially harmful in the long run to wear tight(ish) clothing to bed such as long johns. Reason being is because it could hurt your fertility, since your 'area' needs to breathe. So if you ever find yourself with your hands in your pants when you wake up, or you're ever itchy down there, this could be why. Just saying :) PSA of the Day. Yeah, I've been wearing Long Johns almost everyday in the winter season, even to bed. (This is not me in the picture) > After further research and a few more clicks, other pages and studies suggested that sleeping  naked is beneficial for the long run because of your body temperature. I guess if you get cold then you just gotta pile on those blankets or turn up the heat? 😉

N- play me never, give up my chain never, give up my pride never, show my pain never, dirt on my name never. Currently I am sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after a scare with my mother reacting to prescribed antibiotics. She felt discomfort and tightness in her body almost immediately after taking the pill. This was at 10:45PM, right before heading to bed. My mother called my aunt who was a nurse, then called EMT. Shortly afterwards we were picked up in an ambulance and driven to the hospital. The ambulance ride was aight, nothing special, & definitely not the first time I've been in the back of an ambulance. Although usually I'm the one who is the patient. I sat with my draw string bag on my lap. I made sure to bring my laptop to write this post, along with three poetry books I've been meaning to read, my rosary, my cellphone, and my only working pair of headphones (my hyperX Cloud 2 gaming headphones). Unfortunately I forgot my notebook, so I miss...

Sunday March 19, 2017 Mic glances outside the push-to-start car window only to see his 'right hand man' squatting and posing by the side mirror. Today I attended mass @ 8:30AM which I normally go to. However, today, a fellow altar server named D had to read because the lector was MIA (missing). D seemed to be really nervous, as if it were his first time speaking in front of an audience. It made me wonder if I ever sounded like that before. I also thought of who could possibly be the lector who missed their appointed time. Well woopty doo, guess what. About 3 hours after mass, I checked the calendar connected to my phone only to find out that I was that lector . I put it on Google calendar a few weeks prior, along with setting the following notifications to remind me: 1 day 12 hours before 1 hour before Unfortunately and for whatever reason, I did not receive any alarms or notifications, causing me to miss my scheduled readings.  Perhaps I s...

We all have our habits, they shape us into who we are.  Seeing as I am an aspiring self-motivated individual, I am truly aware of my habits; although not everything I do leads to the outcomes I want. Below I will list out all the habits (good and bad) I have & habits I should pick up/ revive. Current Good Habits: -Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every morning -Eat enough food/servings everyday -Eat healthy food everyday (fruit/veggies, nutrients) -Exercise (almost) everyday -Stretch (almost) everyday -Document any thoughts -Keep up good hygiene (brush teeth, shower, shave, deodorant, etc.) -Check phone only every so often, phone no longer carried in pocket -Pray the Rosary every night Bad Habits: -Watch too many YouTube videos (uneducational/uninformative/strictly entertainment) -Play video games which I have played numerous times before, learning nothing new -Annoy my mom -Stay in bed once already awake -Pick at face -Scratch face ...

Mindfulness. Don't let too much of yesterday take up too much of today.

When we go to the mall, I will challenge you to a public 1v1 dance off on the Just Dance video game set up in front of the Microsoft store. I will win too ;)

I'm not sure if I agree with this quote, as I learned through high school experiences not to expect too much from other people otherwise I end up disappointed. Attached is my calendar for the month of January 2017. I hope I keep this up throughout the year and stay prepared for the rest of my life. Current Reoccurring Theme; "What's your next excuse?" In other news, the man cave is under development. Ever since I moved my computer downstairs, I have been more productive for the most part. The basement has also become a hangout place for my friends and I for about a month now. Currently the room is becoming more decorated, with today a sofa donated by the Sze family. I also drove a van for the first time, a U-Haul van. It was a cool experience, but cost ~$60 out of my pocket. School, Work, Exercising.. They have all been going great. Hopefully I'll be posting about them soon. Peace, Love.

Late post. But here is what my week looked like in the second week of the year and school semester. I'm also happy at the fact of owning this whiteboard. I plan to update it weekly to remind me of any deadlines or activities on each day of the week. I aim to remain organized and always work hard. Additionally I bought myself a calendar with motivational quotes. All the more just to stay motivated 😊.

Currently my face is inflammated(?) af. I can confirm that my sensitive skin is highly prone to breakouts and the like when I take whey protein. Sad to say but I'll have to find alternatives  to meet my daily protein intake. I'm thinking between a mix of normal foods of my diet, yoghurt fat free mixed with smoothies, and grass-fed meat. I cannot tolerate it any longer.  My face feels super uncomfortable. It's a sacrafice not worth making.

As my grandfather used to say, it's better to be the one waiting rather than to make others wait. I need to work on my time management skills. I stated in a previous post the significance of time and even wrote a poem on it. Before you know it all your time is up. It goes by quicker than we perceive it to, believe it or not. The reason for this post is because today I showed up late to core boot camp. Despite not being too late and the class being totally optional and free, I do like to make the most out of any opportunities. Showing up late means you missed out. It means you gotta catch up. In terms of this class, I like to do my own warm up of dynamic stretching before the class begins. Although, the class run by Rhonda does provide its own warm up, I like to get my whole body ready for anything. I believe that more rest should correlate with more work. The longer I choose to stay in bed, the more effort I'll have to put in getting ready for an event as I have less ti...

I really like to hold my camera that way... Anyways I was a little sad to see my hair go. Regardless I dig my new hairstyle. Thank you to my wonderful beautician Alison.

By myself. Stay persevering. Stay strong. Stay motivated. Stay hungry. Stay eager. Stay anxious. Stay open-minded. Stay woke. Stay true. Stay you. By myself. Mostly.

is 42. I had 42 posts in 2016. I got the answers to life 😉 Silly post😆
