12:35 pm	Getting In Shape To prepare myself for bootcamp, I started running. And of course, at first, it sucked. I was gasping for air, my legs would cramp up easily and all that noise. I wanted some tips for running, and what better person to ask running tips than a Marine. Those fuckers run so God damn much. This dude I work with was a former Marine, and he told me all this shit. Go figure, it worked. I shaved off minutes on my run, and I feel better after. So thank you Master Sgt. Richardson for the useful running tid bits. Just 13 more weeks till boot, and I can't wait.

12:47 pm	$1,440 Is how much it cost to stich my ears shut. I went in last week to get the surgery done. They used local anestesia to numb my ears, rather than knock me out, which would cost even more. I was awake the whole time they were slicing my ears up. It was kinda weird, but interesting. They look good, not too shabby. I'll post before and after pictures later. I've lost another 5 lbs, so now i'm down to 190...15 more lbs, and then i'm good to go for boot. I haven't been to my Muay Thai gym in about a week and a half since they have been remodeling. Once I get my stitches out i'll be training again. I'm excited to fight in the new ring. It's a huge regulation size ring. I'm fucking stoked. Speaking of being stoked, the Red Sox fucking CRUSHED the Indians 12 to 2 yesterday. It all boils down to tonight, I'm a fucking nervous wreck. Have a good one everybody. (Comment on this)

8:23 am	To be or not to be? Ok so retarded me hasn't thought one thing through about the military. To go either active or reservist. I'm putting the pros and cons together for both, and will see what the lists turn out to be. Current Mood: confused (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:13 am	Across I saw Across the Universe last night. I gotta say, it was a good flick. A bit long though. I know I was gonna write about the movie, but I have nothing more to say about it, so i'm gonna talk about something else. It's so weird for me to be on here, just because it reminds me old friends, lost friends, and who I used to be. Life for everyone changes at points in their lives. Sometimes the changes are so subtle that you don't even notice it. For instance, alot of the friends I used to have, faded out of my life, either due to drama, or just plain not being in contact with them. I miss those friends alot. Then again, I feel my life is better without certain ones in it. I know it sounds fucked up. To me, true friends are the ones who have your back, but also they're the ones who kick your ass when you're fucking up. I didn't have many friends, if any that kicked my ass when I did stupid shit. I drive by so many places and they spark so many memories. When I drive by my old apartment, I think about my old room mates and wonder how they're doing, or what happened in those walls. I'll drive by a certain exit off the freeway, and think about whose exit that is to get to their house. I'll drive on a certain street and think about whose been in my car with me, and what conversations we've had. My mind is flooded with memories. I wish sometimes I wasn't such a fuck up in the past, but then again my present would be so different. I'm only human though, and I can't help but think about the good memories of the past, and also trying to forget the bad ones. Current Mood: okay (Comment on this)

7:32 pm	6 Months So in 6 months i'll be shipping out to Great Lakes, Illinois for Navy bootcamp, and already my transformation into it has been so weird. For the longest time, I have never been below 200lbs. I think maybe for a good 5 years I haven't been below 2 bills. Now i'm at 190 with 15 more lbs to lose to be in my ideal weight for bootcamp. I can't even imagine myself being at 175lbs. I can't picture it at all and neither can my friends. A week from this Tuesday, i'll go have my surgery to get my ears sewn up. I don't even remember what my ears look like from when I first pierced them. Fucking wild. Most people that are close to me have been pretty supportive of this drastic change to join the military, and of course others weren't. Saying that the military will change me and all this bullshit how I won't be the same. Well yeah, no shit. I am going to be different. In my eyes, a good different. I should have joined the military straight out of highschool. Of course then, I would have went to the Marines and not the Navy. But i'm Filipino and I guess it's inevetible for me to join the Navy. I just suppose us Islanders are meant to be on a boat. The job i'm going for is Navy Corpsman, so i'll be spending a good chunk of my time attached to a Marine unit anyways. Now i'm just ranting. But yeah, change. Change is good. It's keeping me on my feet and it's facing me in a better direction. I know i'm way ahead of myself, but you're invited to the homecoming party.

9:46 am	Correction Damn, my brain really isn't on at this time. It's been a year since I last wrote in this thing. I know that was really pointless, but it bothered me. Current Mood: silly (Comment on this)
9:09 am	Still Here God...It says the last post I wrote was 61 weeks ago. I can't believe I remembered my password. So I guess this calls for an update. I've been with my girlfriend for more than 2 years now. I lost a grip of weight training in Muay Thai. I'm a graphic designer for Whole Foods Market. I have more tattoos obviously. And I leave for boot camp in 6 months, the exact ship out date is March 11th, 2008. I'm excited for it, but of course bummed i'll be leaving my girlfriend, family and friends for 4 months. At least Will and I are going in together. That is all for now. Talk to you all later. Current Mood: accomplished (11 Comments |Comment on this)

11:36 pm	Awhile... I haven't written here in awhile. I was feeling a lil down, so I figured I'd just write to let off some steam. Work sucked today. It went by really slowly. It seemed, that everytime I looked at the clock, it just passed a minute the last time I checked. Shit was on my mind of course, and I couldn't escape it. So the whole day I had to fake smiles and hellos. Not a way to spend a day at work. All my breaks I just used to sleep. I haven't eaten anything all day. Fuck being bummed. My step grandma, was asking me questions tonight to figure out what was wrong with me. Like most moms and grandmas, their solution is to say "Eat something...you'll feel better.". No matter how many times I looked into that fridge, nothing looked appealing at all. All I could stomach was this can of diet Barq's Root Beer. Well, I guess i'm off to bed. I gots work in the A.M.
