In stride

If you were to ask me what i am going to be doing with my life in 5 years, I probably could not give you an answer. It's not that I am a loser and see my self going nowhere, but there is just so much that i want to experience before i settle down.

Right now, I am sitting at work bored out my mind and began to think about how my life would pan out in the next couple of years. I don't have an answer.....sadly. Hopefully with my senior year coming up i can decide on a career path and stick with it. For now i am just taking life in stride and happy for now.

chillin

Iam just chillin here at this hookah place in hacienda.it has a wierd vibe to it, I just can't explain it. Its hidden on the side of a building and doesn't look inviting at all. And inside this big room is just a bunch of couches and there is about 8 people in here including devin, evan and I. Kinda sad I think feels like a whack house party cuz everyone is just sitting down while music is playin from BET haha.
Anyway, another uneventful week filled with work and sleep. The past couple of weeks I've been waking up at 1 in the afternon then going to work. I really have no life this summer. But recently I have been going to the gym and lifting some weights. It feels good and provides me with an extra boost of energy. For now I think I found something to do that keeps my attention. Haha I think it will change by next week though.
I think I am going to roger dunn with gerame to look at some golf clubs. I think its cool that some of my friends are actually getting into golf. For the longest time I've had no one to play with. But I guess we will see if he continues it.
we gonna leave and go eat at shakas haha. Be safe

Peace out

Boring

My life has become quite uneventful this summer. I spend most of my days on the couch or on the computer looking up random shit. Oh yeah and work, but its been so slow here because of the heat, shitty course, and expensive green fees, that i am only working 20 hrs a week. I kind of wish i took summer school just to keep me busy, but then i also could not afford the $220/unit. I should enjoy this vacation and get ready for the last year of school. Recoupe my energy and hopefully do well this year and start looking for a decent job. Even though working at a golf course is super easy, i dont want to be here when I'm 25 and still living with my parents. By then i want own my own house and experience many other things. but thats a different story at a later time.

This past week i have started playing poker alot more. I have been logging roughly 1000 hands a day. That's nothing compared to what some of the pros log, but for me its start. Since i am not doing anything else, i figured I'd try and get better at something. I am trying out the poker tracker and so far so good. Hopefully my results continue.
Anyway that's it for now. I will let you know when something exciting happens. (2 weeks vegas lol). peace...

So with the recent vegas trip, I have found a new love. Blackjack or 21 has intrigued me so much that I have been studying the game and can't find myself thinking of anything else. Since my vegas trip a couple of weeks ago, I have been going to commerce strictly to play bj. It seems weird to me because usually I play poker. Poker has been good to me and the game still excites me.but I can get stagnant and mundane at times. With bj I find more overall excitement and a rush when I am at the table.
Commerce has been good to me. Overall I am up with the first trip to commerce put me at +100 the second trip put me at +400. That night was a good one. however I did give some back to the casino with -250. So it has been fun. For the summer I want to focus on the game of bj and see what it does for me.
Been trying to learn basic strategy and so far its paying off. Still got a lot more work to do tho. After basic strategy comes counting, which I have got better at. But I still have a long way to go before I can do it without blinking. Anyway hope summer is going well and be safe...

discipline

So after a long week of having fun from going to vegas to going to sb I have decided that my weight, especially my mid section is beginning to grow.I am staring to get a gut and its not pretty especially with beach season coming up.
So I thought I should cut back on some on the unhealthy junk that I have been eating(chips,fastfood,soda,sweets like chocolate, and eating too late). So for starters I plan to eliminate the soda, which will be a big problem cuz its so good. I guess no more pepsi for me. I usually have a can of soda a day so I just gotta stay discipline and say no.
Next would be the fastfood which is the jack mcdonalds and in n out. I am the worst eater you will find. Fastfood I have at least twice a day just so yummy and quick but I got to make changes or else my body will not like me in 10 years.
Hopefully by doing these 2 things and working out I can get into better shape. Because I don't want to be old and have a beer belly. Its just not cute at all. So helpfully my plan works. So day 1 no soda and fastfood, check!

vegas is fun

Yeaterday night I saw hangover which was a plesant surprise considering that I was not expecting much. But that movie keep me laughing end to end. I think everyone can relate to it, because we all have a few crazy/stupid moments in vegas. One that comes to mind is when my friend drop kicked is own truck and left a big ass dent. Haha anyway after watching the movie my friends and I decided that we wanna go to vegas for a couple of nights. These spontaneuos plans really get me excited and pumped to do whatever.
Hopefully our night in vegas does not end up up like the guys in hangover. Lol

Peace

yesterday

so yesterday was rather long and short at the same time. It started off with work at 5am. It was a rather busy day although it was gloomy and overcast and the tips were not bad etiher. I ended up leaving around 11 and went straight to my moms house in torrance. She wanted to go and exchange her phone since she was having problems with her blacberry storm. I guess it caused her major problems when she went to hawaii for vacation. Always shutting down and battery life wasnt long, also she wasnt able to make phone calls. Maybe it was a defective phone, but the reviews on the phone were not great. Many people cited that alot kinks needed to be worked on such as the ones my mom had to go through.
Since we were at verizon I too got a new phone. We both ended up getting the curve 8300 because of the promotion they were having, buy one bb and get one free of equal or lesser value. Ive never had a bb so i still am getting use to it, but it seems to keep me busy at work haha. The only thing is that i need to start paying my mom the extra 30 bucks a month for the data plan. One more string that my mom is cutting.
After we spent 2 hrs at verizon i met up with some friends and headed to korean bbq. We went to this place called mana in k town. Service sucks but the food is bomb. It was fun, all of us were drinking and laughing throughout lunch/dinner. I had this korean beer called HITE. It taste like bud light but different, i dont know how to explain it. I hate bud light, but this stuff was not bad. I had 2 of the 20 oz bottles and some rounds of Shoju. I think its vodka mixed with pineapple juice, not bad. After a couple of plates of meat, we headed home.
I had to sober up first haha so i stayed at my friends place for a little and went home. I didnt get home till 430 in the afternoon and at this point i was beat. Being up since 430 in the morning and having some drinks(alcohol as makes me sleepy) i just fell asleep until this morning haha. Which was a good 15 hr nap.

On today's events, laker game is tonight. Hopefully they can clean things up and get the win in orlando. Orlando is to dangerous and can get hot at anytime. I will probably miss most of the game because i have basketball game tonight at whittier high school. but i will keep my fingers crossed.
anyway be safe I am so glad summer is here. peace
