Nachoooooooooooo..!!

I haven't watched it yet, but Jay's ringtone has a guy yelling this the whole time..!! hehehe

So... I've been busy... heheh. Anyways, here's just a couple of things that I've been up to:

• Tacky Fun-due Party
• Camp Pendleton Mud Run
• Les Miserables
• Work
• Warcraft

Okay... so it's not really that busy. I guess I'm just lazy. I need a mind extractor... kind of like a memory card, so that I can just upload it into blog-format. If anyone could invent this... I'd truly appreciate it.

The end. Oh.. FYI... I feel a Backyard Boogie coming...

Someone's getting married..!!

Well, two people... my roommate, Jay, and pseudo-roommate, Cicely. I am very excited for the two of them. Jay has really been putting in a lot of time and effort for this past weekend. I am glad that everything worked out perfectly. I still remember all the late nights that I would have to leave Jay from so he can continue to do research on diamonds and settings. That Jay is pretty sneaky... in a good way, of course.

Right before I went to bed, I said good-night to them both... then I came back out to say, "Hi, this is my friend, Jay, and his fiance, Cicely." How crazy is that? It just goes to show you that it's about that time... fo' meywage... and weddings.. and all that other good stuff. I knew that it was already time, but now that more of my friends are getting engaged/married... it's really something to think about. I am genuinely happy for them both... just watch out for the 12th of July as your wedding date.

Anyways, for those who care, I have a new camera... it's a Canon SD630.. or something. So, I guess this means that I too shall be joining amongst my Flickr friends and start posting pics... hopefully, more than I update this bad boy.

Note to self and friends..

I am Supervisor today..!!

okay.. that's it... ohh.. and there are different types of pads and tampons..!!

Tadahhhhhhhhh..!! ba dum pahh..!!!

Why Jovan.. why..?

Mud run training sucks..!!

Well, it doesn't really suck, but I am just tired all the time. I am running less (2 to 3 miles), but I feel really exhausted. Lately, when I go to the gym, I've been putting the incline up... ranging from 7.0 to 13.0. Also, my pace is around a 5.0 to 7.0, depending how steep I am... or how I am feeling. Let me tell you this, I am just about done after 20 - 25 minutes. Three miles is a struggle... and I am just hoping that things get better. The end.

Well, I also have been trying to lift some weights to help out with the mud run. For those of you that don't know what I am talking about, I signed up with some friends (Jay, Cicely, Belle, and Lou) to do the Camp Pendleton Mud Run. This should be a lot of fun... it's just that my lack of motivation is trying to get the best of me. I will try my best to work on the preparation for the race.

Anyways, I haven't really been up to much lately. I attended a wedding the other week (Fred and Nahal)... Congratulations..!! Weddings are fun. Additionally, I have two wedding magnets up on my fridge. Well, my brain is fried with work... and I am about to go bed..

See ya when I see ya..!!

Sherwin..!!

Man... I just probably saw one of your pop-up adds for Military.com...

hehhehehe.. good ish.. !!

Crazy Dream

So, I was having my usual morning vanpool nap today... when I suddenly had a dream. and I never have dreams on my morning vanpool naps. I usually just fall asleep and wake up around Wilshire. I thought that it was weird, but everything should hold some type of meaning, right...?even keychains..??

I had a dream about keychains. I saw five different types of keychains at a store, I guess... and they seems to be aligned in an order from good to bad. Here's the thing. It was like a cartoon. The bad keychains were trying to bite the hands that were looking at them... bad ones, like I said, were in a type of order where the further along you went with the keychains, the more violent or active the keychain. The ones in the middle would kind of nibble, or move around a little bit, but the one on the end looke like it was about to fall off the hanger.

Then, after I started looking back to the beginning where the "good" (left-most) keychain was, guess what I saw. I saw a flower hanging by the chain. I guess they all were supposed to be a type of flower, but the only one that looked distinctly like a flower was the left-most one. The other ones seemed to lose their color a bit. A little here.. a little there.. Anyways, there was a smug look on the face of the flower (like a cartoon), and it didn't move... it just hung there..

What does the good keychain have to do to be seen as "good?" Well, in this dream... it didn't have to do anything. But the funniest thing about the whole dream was that nobody wanted the "good" keychain. That one was hardly even touched. The first one that was purchased was the one in the middle... and then, I woke up.

I don't know where I am going with this... so, I'll just leave it at that...

And so, my Thursday begins...

April showers bring May flowers..

Low clouds today... nice and wet all day. I figured that blogging would be a great way to pass time before I engulf myself in a solid workout at LA Fitness. Jay just hooked it up with some special recipe of his... chicken sinagang. MmmMMmMm..

So, it's been awhile. I never even posted about the Marathon. Well, for those that wish to know, and for the sake of remembering, I etched in a time of 4:18 and some odd seconds. One day I'll get under four hours and be able to say that I ran a sub-4 marathon... one day. Other than that, I was quite happy with my time. Each and everything that you do is a learning experience. I am now a firm believer of that.

I had to do a speech today for Toastmasters. I haven't done one in such a long time (just like a real blog), so I decided about a week ago to let them know that I wished to speak for the next meeting. It wasn't until today that I was able to figure out how everything was going to be put together. At work, my claim to fame is the marathon, or the marathons that I ran. So, I already knew that I had to talk about that. But I wanted to add something else... women. Perfect. The element that I needed to add a little more spice to my speech.

In the last hour before the start of the meeting, I had to decide on what type of speech I was going to give (yeah.. I know.. but, to some extent, procrastination is an art form), and I finally decided on the power of persuasion. It turned out to be my best speech to date. And, I also got the ribbon that I have been longing for since I joined the club... the Best Speaker ribbon. I almost had the Toastmaster in tears... shoot, I almost had myself in tears. So, for your viewing pleasures... and for mine, I will... ahhhhhhhh.. join a club... hehehheh.

Anyways, I guess that's it. The power of persuasion. Find your passion, run your own marathon... if you are shy, 'un-shy' yourself. Take the necessary steps to... Man... I am bad (_I_)..!!

To life. And to April Showers... Things always get better after the stormy weather.
Pass over the sadness, and accept the gladness.
