Had another rift with my pop. After I got home, we were talking about principles and situations again. Cause and effect, consequences of actions –> boring but serious stuff. Of course, we couldn’t disagree more.

Now I feel bad again. Times like this I just want to screw my head somewhere else. These inevitable topics that I try my best to avoid, they’d just crawl one day at you and you’d never even expect it’d hit you until it does.

I’ve never been this confrontational but this is for my own good. I have to be stiff in more ways than one. That way, I won’t get abused.

I’ve just been to a movie watching Twilight with a couple of colleagues at work. We watched the movie around 5pm on a Saturday.

Everybody’s been agog about this movie that I never even heard about except for my other colleague who’s all over the books. Vampires and high school isn’t really my cup of tea, since I’m through with the theme of Anne Rice’s work. But I had to give it a try since they say it toppled down the Jame’s Bond installment “Quantum of Solace”.

When we got to the theater, I didn’t expect anything much because I’ve never read the books; which is a good thing. You don’t have to anticipate the scenarios that should happen.

I was actually warned by a friend to cover my ears. Given that it was a weekend, 90 percent of the audience were teenagers. Therefore, there were a lot of screaming a giggling especially when the vampires were introduced. I just kept on laughing because the theater that we’re supposed to be in was known for a having a ‘civilized’ crowd. But there was actually nothing civilized on that time. There were a lot of times where I had to strain myself in order to listen to the dialogue–> as if I could filter out the noise.

Anyway, overall, the movie was okay; I couldn’t say anything bad about it.

We went to some store to check some 5.11 Tactical Pants somewhere. Since I’m planning to go somewhere rigid. I need a comfortable but durable pair of pants to wear. This is the only pant that has a rear strap and slash pocket design – both proprietary features of these best-selling pants.

Afterward, we went to Fridays to eat dinner. The servings were still big and the food were still a bit bland for our taste but we were full. We finishe around 9pm and I needed to get my rest for I had a lot of homework to do the next day. It was a fun day, albeit expensive.

I’m finally going to get a good night’s day’s rest! Was awake for 24 hours and only slept 2 hours before that and was also awake 14 hours prior. I’m getting a bit wasted that I can’t even keep track of time and remember what happened on what.

I’m glad that we won’t have classes later on for my last subject. I just have to directly to the office and then it’s the weekend off! I’m definitely going to utilize this time to get some shut eyes.

I’ll definitely have more things to do when I wake up because all my assignments are being stacked for the weekend. But for now, I will get my rest!

Just had our first practice exercise in PE –> ha, I’m still taking Physical Education in school. I still won’t admit that I’m already old and going back to school. I just hope I won’t be a Van Wilder and always think of partying and having a good time; even if it’s one of the things I need to do. It’s far from my personality because of the way I need to settle a lot of obligations while keeping a sound mind a healthy body. I need to get my vitamins anyway.

Speaking of health, I’m in a trance because my mind can only comprehend the physical aspects of understanding concepts. I can’t go deeper down my memory in order to recall a certain fact or figure. My mind is deteriorating because of the lack of sleep and the number of assignments and the metrics that I need to meet. But I don’t call myself average but hardworking for nothing. I know I can do this, failure is not even an option.

However, I just need to get the much needed rest that I deserve. The class after this will be a straight, moving towards my shift at work and another straight class tomorrow. I only slept for an hour and a half, I need to stay awake for another 20 hours before I can get the next available rest.

I’ve already paid the remaining amount in school. Now, I’m about to submit the remaining requirements to get the money I shelled out back. The company has a reimbursement plan and I’m crossing my fingers that I’m still going to get the cash back within the year.

At least I’m not updated, I can’t imagine how long I’ve waited in order to get the money that I used. I’m glad there’s blogging as well. It helped me give a capital to use in order to rotate my status in school and maximize opportunities.

Now, I shouldn’t screw this up. One single failure will cause everything to fall into pieces. I just need to maintain this momentum until the end of the school year. March is almost here anyway, but I have to savor December first.

It’s been awhile since I last went out to just hang out. I don’t usually go and listen to bands and drink booze but this was an exception. I went out with my cousins whom we haven’t seen in 10 years already. We used to go to the beach during Sundays with my grandmother and it was a constant affair. Somehow, because of time and difference, all has changed. But now that we’ve seen each other again, we needed to bond. We went to The Outpost somewhere in Lahug. A band was playing which I didn’t recognize; first time to be there. My brother was the one who brought us there.

It makes me realize how important having your relatives to grow up with is. Rather than being able to deal with life’s issues with your immediate family alone, it does help that you have people your age to talk to. But then, this is just one of those single-night affairs; and we’re back to reality the next day as they already left.

what was I even thinking initially?

Disclosure:

I can’t believe I’m missing out on a lot of things now that are essential. One would be sleep and another would be missing out on food intakes. Both of these concern my health in the end. I was advised by a colleague who has two full-time jobs and is also studying during weekends that I need to be sure that when it’s time for sleep, I should sleep.

As for missing out on food intakes, I haven’t been able to watch what I eat. However, since I’m getting big, I need to find a solution such as taking a Flat Belly Diet to help me as well. It’s hard to maintain a diet but I don’t think there’s nothing wrong in trying to look your best. It’s a bit complicated as well with the holiday season coming up –> a lot of binge waiting to happen.

I’ve been meaning to go to the gym but now that I don’t have much time, I just have to think of other solutions that will help me out and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Besides, the mid-section is one of the hardest parts to develop, especially with my physique. I tried doing crunches before but I still need to have a food plan that would go with it to maximize my potential.
