What the HECK!

Posted on by

No one at ISR. Grainger’s Closed. The third magical door at Siebel is locked.

Where is a man supposed to go and get some work done around here?

Instead, I ended up wasting an hour, driving around.

I guess not all the people are back yet… and the people who are back… are total lamers. Tee hee. I’m kidding. I met like… a TON of people at WIMPE. Let’s see… I met James, my past small group leader. I met Andrew Lee (who called me a gym rat, by the way… I guess I do go daily, but I’m not a “gym rat”… that status is reserved for those that are jacked out of their minds, and that isn’t me), last year’s small group member. I was so happy to run into my Kim Jong Gook AKA David Yi. I still remember when I christened him with that name… and when he started to watch Xman like insane. Oh, and I also ran into Andrew Wu! WU WU! It was sooo long since I saw that kid. I thought he graduated and moved onto better things… but he’s here! Now the ISR 8 reunion is looking more possible by the minute. Vincar and Mike Lee was also there. I swear, that Vincar kid is getting enormous. Mike… he’s always enormous. But yes, it was all these cool guys. Only guys. Boo girls. Boo.

But yes, before WIMPE: I drove to church with Brian. After an amazing sermon on how we should act with eternity in mind, I rocked out with David Kim and Bi AKA Matt Lee with Brian Liu at my place. It was some good times with the Chinese Black Bean Noodles… I only know the less salty Korean “Jja Jang Myun”. Oh, and the Bears won. I think I might have to start getting into football again… just to keep up with everyone.

I had a baked potato today, disregarding the carbohydrates that I’d be consuming. Screw that. Potatoes are yummy. But the baking took way too long… but be the weaksauce toaster oven.

Man, I need to stop hanging around Dan Sun. I’m going to start attaching “-sauce… age” to everything I say. I might be going to WIMPE yet again with that kid “tomollo”. Frick.

Another week has started. Are YOU ready?

Actually, for those that just got back, it’s a start of a new semester after tomorrow! Hope all things will go well, if not, better than last semester. I know I’ve got my goals… I know you’ve got yours. Rock out! For whoever or whatever you live your life for!

And freaking… I need to write my thoughts on the iPhone. People are bugging me left and right, because they think I’m some crazed Apple fanatic. (Which I am… but still… there’s some issues with the iPhone…)

Continuing the Fight

Realizing more and more how much I lack… but realizing how much more there is to gain.

Started the work week definitely strong. I don’t know how, but I got up 20 minutes before my alarm hit. It was an angry 20 minutes of sleep, but I guess it helped a bit.

From 7:30 to 3, I worked straight through, without a lunch break. Afterwards… wow… I definitely was tired. I caught up on some XMan (Korean Variety Show), and headed for WIMPE. All this week, Dan Sun and I will be doing some much needed cardio. I definitely missed out on that while Dean was here…

Derek, why don’t you return my facebook posts? Boo! I’m going to call this one after work tomorrow to see if he wants to hang out… oh wait, after WIMPE.

I wonder if I should go into work tomorrow or Wednesday. I feel very tired… I didn’t get my 20 minutes of happiness.

Ah, and so now we’re into the meat of the post.

As I dropped off Dan with his groceries, I stopped by Gil’s apartment. Gil was a roommate I had my senior year… it was a pleasure of having this older brother still on campus… And this is when I realized my lesson of the day: It’s not about crying about what you don’t have, or just making do with what you do have. It’s about being so utterly thankful for EVERYTHING, in lack of or in abundance of ANYTHING… It can’t be one extreme or another. You can’t just be down on yourself for what you don’t have… but also you can’t be satisfied with just what you do have, and never reach out farther than you’re used to. Okay, in that last sentence, I mistyped “your”. Oh holy crap I’m getting tired.

Right, so let’s keep going with the brain on autopilot and run through a couple of things.

Backs and shoulders day cannot go after biceps and forearms. There must be something in between. Legs should be the fourth day in the regimen, and could be used as a break in between these two. Tomorrow starts up triceps and chest… Maybe the new schedule should be…

Chest/Triceps, Biceps/Forearms, Legs/More Abs Than Normal/Rest, Backs/Shoulders. For each day, have abs and cardio. Alternate between distance running (either on elliptical or track) and short distance (1 mile) per day.

Hooray for lifting gloves. Not only was WIMPE $130, but the gloves $10. More reason to go lifting… use that inner stingy Asian man!

And… I have nothing to report for today. Man… I need to get some time to myself and start writing some technical stuff.

Oh, and, MacWorld is tomorrow. It’s gotta be iPhone and iTV, but less so the iTV. Meh.

Might as well continue with the list.

I’m falling behind on the Bible reading. Gotta catch up slowly but surely.

Starting up back again for foreign languages. Daily… just like the Word.

Oh freaking rails… how much more I want to learn you.

If you’ve read this until now… wow, I feel loved. But really, you didn’t have to do that…
