Habits

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
-Bad posture
-Minimal eye contact with certain people
-Use electronics in bed
-Hang out with the same friends too often, less productiveness


Habits I Should Pick Up:
-Practice the Piano Everyday (gradually building up more skill + time spent)
-Play the Ocarina Everyday (ditto ^)
-Write in Writing prompts book every morning
-Practice Japanese everyday
-Practice Spanish Everyday
-Practice French Everyday
-Write in blog everyday/ MORE OFTEN
-Read fiction books/ stories to help with creativity, etc.
-STUDY SCHOOL COURSE MATERIAL!!!!!!!
-Write an accomplishment + weekly review journal to stay on task + motivated
-Read a Poem everyday, write about it
-Study the Dictionary
-Study the Thesaurus
-Keep House Clean + Tidy
-Apply for Scholarships
-Enter contests for free money/prizes 
-Plan out days/weeks better , Using planner, board, notebooks, calendar
-Write Poetry (because I love to), publish and share it (because I can and why not?)
-Actually have a sleeping pattern going
-Stop using electronics 1 hr before sleeping
-Maintain good posture
-good conversational Eye contact
-Smile more

On the bright side, I did stop playing as much video games as I used to, and I am super proud of myself. I realized a long time ago that I am not getting anywhere by playing them, and I finally convinced myself to only play when I need a break, playing with good friends/company, and etc.
For example, ranking in league is pointless for me since the game has changed so much ever since I started playing in season 3, and I haven't adjusted myself to it. Additionally, my dreams of becoming a pro or a streamer vanished awhile ago. By any means do I not condone any aspiring pro league players, as I realize it is not for me.

Oddly enough I did try out for my college League team and made it as a sub, but I have never had to play in a game, but oh well.

Lastly, I am aiming to add some flavour to my blog by readjusting my broken music playlist & adding a picture to every post.

Hope you enjoyed this long blog post! If you missed me, well I'm back :)

There may be a follow-up post to this one somewhere down the road.. Stay tuned!

Si pudiera regresar el tiempo

 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

To the CC BROS

Post-speech cry fest. Note: I wanted to release this on August 19th (or whenever my last day of playing League was), but a lot of things came up recently (including the birth of my son), so I am finally sharing this with you guys. My intention was never to sound like a broken record player, but here is where the track finally ends. I am officially quitting/retiring (or however you want to phrase it) from League of Legends. It's time for me to move onto more important things in life. It only took me to have a child for me to quit for good, haha. It's been over 10 years of playing League together. 10 years ago we were silly teenaged-altar servers who saw each other every weekend and spent summers together. After every in person CC event, we seemed to always gravitate to logging onto our toasters and playing a few games of our "favourite" game, League of Legends. We used to log on everyday after highschool, too. We've gone from Skype to Raid call to Discord. From Sea...
