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

:)
Oh my does it feel good to be finished with finals! This big huge rock has been lifted from my shoulders and i can finally relax and enjoy life (or at least until grades are posted). But i think i should be fine, nothing spectacular...just solid B's for most of my classes.
Anyway, now that finals are over, i think a few friends and i are going to grab a bite to eat at hooters. Their wings are making my mouthwater as i speak. Wash it down with an Ice cold beer...yummm. It might seem like im alcoholic by drinking in the morning, but who cares. IM OUT OF SCHOOL! hope yall did well on your finals. peace out

finals week
i just realized i have not posted in almost a month. I have been burnt out with school and finals that i have not found time to update.
Anyway, i just took my second final this morning at 7 am. I thought it went well, just a bunch of multiple choice questions. I noticed that when its a multiple choice test, i find myself racing to finish the test first. Maybe its to prove to everyone in the class that i know what im doing, or maybe i just like getting the hell out of there. Whatever the reason i was dissappointed with myself when i was the second one to finish. But she got her test first so it think i would of beat her. lol. I have one more final on friday at 9 am for mhr 318. I need to do really well on this test because the last one i didnt do so hot. I just cant wait for this week to end so i can finally stop stressing out. Finals week always do this to me. I feel a certain level of anxiety in which i never can truly relax even when i am watching tv or trying to sleep.
Summer vacation should be a good one this year, due to the unforunate fact that cpp canceled all of their summer classes. For me personally i was not disappointed, because I was not planning on taking any summer classes, but for many others this really ruins all of thier plans. But their is a bigger concern to look at. With the budget cuts and major hole that california is in, we all have to scarifice something in order to help each other in the long run. What the governer did in the past has to stay in the past, and we have to start looking at what we can do to boost our economy for the future.
With that said, i am looking foward to summer vacation and the many trips i am going to be taking to vegas, since everyone is 21 or has a fake. haha should be a memorable one.
I got to get back to studying so good luck on finals and be safe...

....
So today sucks in a way. My only class from 8-9 was canceled, but i was not informed until i got there. However I was not the only dumbass who did not check their email before coming to class. I could have found a better way to use my time then wasting it driving 20 mins to a class I did not have......(sleep would have been a good one).
Anyway, now that i am over that...i apologize for the lack of updates. I have not been posting as of late because I just not have been feeling life this past week. Beside last monday, i did not go to class last week. The funny thing is that I wake up as if i were getting ready for school but then think to myself "whats the point?", we are not covering anything important. I don't know why I do this to myself but i always manage to feel like this at some point in the quarter. It never fails, and then i find myself scrambling to do well in all my classes. I think it is because i need a spark or some kind of motivation while going though the quarter. After the same schedule for 6 weeks of getting up, going to class, then going to work, and sleep...I really just find myself stuck in a mundane situation and find a need to switch things up a little. Usually this happens by blowing off school...which is never good in a quarter system. you could get away with it in a semester system but i am finding it more difficult to improve my grades with only 3 weeks left then finals.
This is one quality that find to be annoying about myself. The extreme laziness that could hit me anytime just bugs the shit out of me. I could be doing other, more productive things with my time, but instead I always end up telling myself i will do it later and finally the deadline is tomorrow and stress myself out to get things finished. I know everyone has cases of procrastination, but i constantly do it over and over. I am going to try change for the better, and focus on putting more effort in the things i do. I can start by studying for my midterm which is tomorrow for my accounting class. I've known about this midterm since last tuesday, and still can not find it in me to go to class or pick up the book. It looks like i will be in the books all day today, trying to catch up.
So another reason for my lack of effort in school is that I have been playing golf more and more now. I find it enjoyable once again to be out on the course with people I know. I think its because now i actually have people to play with. Before I found it difficult to go to the course because i had no one to talk too and bullshit with. But since i got my new clubs I have made an effort to play more with my co workers and some of the regulars at the course. It is fun to compete against these guys to find out how your game stacks up against others. I am on track to becoming a better player, i think, and hopefully by summer i will able to break par once again.
anyway, there will be more from me later. take care
