Where does the time go?

WOW! It is already almost Christmas...and I have been so busy since summer has ended! Let's do a quick catch-up...I was assigned my sport assignments...and at first I wasn't happy about it, but now that my first semester with my first team is ending, I wish I could do it all over again..just because it was amazing! This just goes to show...that sometimes, life has other plans for you and if you just go along with it, you just might surprise yourself, and find you love it!!

My first semester as a senior student has ended. My next...and FINAL one arrives in January! I can't believe how time flies! Up next...figuring out what's next up in my future! Which could hopefully mean, GA-ship or Internship! I am open to both...but finding a Grad school is on top of the list.

Aside from school stuff, not much has changed. I am still the same me trying to improve myself one day at a time. I'm still a gullible hope-Ful! romantic. Trying to face all my fears head on so that I may grow!

Christmas is fast approaching and my o my, how it actually doesn't feel like it at all. There seems to be a lack of Christmas spirit going on. Probably because my Christmas this year will be missing one special person. My Grandma. She passed away in September, and ever since then...things (especially holidays) feel quite empty. I miss her every day...and yes I wish I visited her more. Things are definitely not the same knowing that she's not coming over to spend Christmas or New Year's with us. She wasn't here on Thanksgiving sneaking my dogs scraps of food. And she wasn't sitting on our couch dozing off. I miss her most and every day!

I wish I had more fun things to share, and I'm trying to catch up on at least five months or so. It's kind of hard. I'll try better next time! For now, I'm cutting this one short..and maybe later on tonight I will think of something better to write!

MTSS and Gilbere Forte

Two topics that do not go hand in hand, but tonight...I'm making them.

Let me start with my complaint. For the past week, I've been doing Insanity workout and what do I notice yesterday while doing Cardio/Plyo?? I have Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (aka: Shin Splints)...It's very annoying!!! Thought I'd share. It's definitely not the best feeling in the world and it's mostly an annoying type feeling...luckily today was Rest day...but i'm sure once I start doing more jumping/running in place...I shall feel them again.

Gilbere Forte. Anyone hear of him? I heard of his name through a friend, previewed his album on itunes and quickly clicked "Purchase." I love it...it seems...original...and I like that. Here's my favorite song...to which I think is the SEXIEST sounding song ever!

Found this on one of Gabe's sites

Huge Gabe Bondoc fan, hence while looking at his Tumblr, I came across this :)

How to Install LOVE

Tech Support: Hello … how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install
Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you
located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running ?

Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge
and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt
from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent
memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will
eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High
Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and
Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Can you turn those off ?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke
Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and
Resentment have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that
normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base
program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get
the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, “Error
- Program not run on external components.” What should I do?

Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set
up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In
non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before
you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the
following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your
Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the “My Heart” directory. The
system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty
programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all
directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely
gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files.
Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying
themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but
eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed
and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure
to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in
turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

Starting this Thing Up...Again

Yesterday I was thinking, "I should stick a Pin in it!" One of my favorite sayings to say when something memorable happens or momentous. Yes, I did hear it from the movie "Bolt." So no, not so original on my part. If there are some strangers to this sucker, and my Pinned up moments just aren't exactly what you were thinking...so be it. I will guarantee there may be some quite Random, and maybe Not so Funny (to you) things posted up on here, but hey, just so I can remember some stuff down the line...I figured why not? So after this, I think I will post my first "Pin."

Back to School....

Yes, it's that time again. The Back to School Madness! I am back in class. So far...it's going alright. I have six classes: Intro Athletic Training + Lab, Intro Sports Psych, ASL, Human Sexuality, and another Kines class that I don't know what the name is haha. So yes it is that time again where I wake up at 6 in the morning to get to school by 730, to get to class on time. I know right...I'm one of those...half an hour early people. Parking's just that much better being earlier. Since it is the first week of school I've been waking up at 540 in the morning, because parking's a complete beezy in the fall semester. Thus, I'm tired as I type this.

So anyways, I figured no one wants to know about classes or school and all that dandy junk right? Right. I think. So lets do some random snippets.

Now I believe my last post was about the Olympics. At least the US Softball Team. Ugh, still renders at my wee bitty heart. I'm still left speechless. I'm loving that new Nike commercial they have for it. It's cute.





I watched some Rachel Ray today. She made some tasty looking pinwheels. Make of meat of course. If you didn't know...I'm carnivorous! I don't know what it is. I'm still dying to try the Brazilian restaurant we have here in town!! I can't believe I didn't know about it sooner!!! All you can eat meat, what's not to love?

Michael Phelps is in London. I wish he was there when I was. That would have just topped the trip off completely. I'd probably cry and have a heart attack or faint, or something along those lines. We have yet to set a Wedding Date. HA! Whatever right?



I'm a little sore since I worked out yesterday. It's definitely been a while...and my oh my. We did exercise stations. Those went fine, but it was just the sprint back. We did a little competition race thing...so two rows of stations and race back to tag your teammate. I feel it in my legs.

I went and saw Housebunny. I don't remember if I wrote about it. It was alright. Not as funny as I thought it was going to be. They pretty much showed most of the funny parts in the commercial. I'd still buy it to add to my collection. Anna Faris is hilarious!

Is Tropic Thunder any good? I guess I have to wait till Ross posts his talky blog about it. He went to see it with Dr. Neighbor. Don't know what I'm talking about?! It's the Ross Blog folks!

So I don't know why I have a xanga and this puppy. Maybe I'll cancel one and keep the other. It's a thought.

The WNBA is starting back up. I hear it starts up on Thursday. I don't know who's playing that day or if it's on tv. I've been a little bad keeping up. I've been on an Olympics high.

What's up with all these Food Network shows showing beef??

I had some sushi today. It was yummy! Just a little too big. Note to all: Good sushi is bite sized! That's according to my papa...born and bred in Japan hah. Not that that means anything really.

This show is interesting...the Food Detectives show. Oh and don't microwave grapes...they burn up in flames!!!

Well I can't really think of anything else at the moment. So I'm gonna explore this site more and see what I can do to spruce it up.

Until Next Time Folks!

Re-Done...Did...Do

I had previously intended to use this as a blog for my fellow Bulldogs, but you know...I'm just gonna use this sucker as my own. I do write on xanga as well, but hey...why not write some stuff here too? There's no point in wasting this site. So just an overview of what you can be in for here:

I'm a sports nut...so expect postings on the Sacramento Monarchs, WNBA, US Women's National Soccer Team/ Basketball Team/ Softball Team. Also since it's the olympics...yes, expect that too. Also some UFC postings.

I'm fairly random, so expect random thoughts. I like to call them, "Snippets." It'll be things like:
"I'm hungry." "Rachel Ray just may Pizagna." So random sentences...in no particular order.

Well...anything else that comes to mind.

I'm currently thinking of doing a couple posts probably tonight...A Bring Back Softball to the Olympics post is definitely coming up, and well...I'm in love with Michael Phelps and he's racing tonight...so expect something about that too haha. Until Later Folks!
