Forms

hello everyone another blog for me, actually lately I've been really enjoying doing forms. most likely because im learning a lot of new forms, but in the same time these new forms im learning are making me appreciate my older forms that i know now. the amount of work and sweat i had to put into learning a new form is huge. when i finally learned the whole tai chi broad sword form, i immediately wanted to improve it and change little things here and there.  i remember when i first learned Da Ma Sing i thought to myself well this is fun and easy, but now that i've been doing kung fu so long i sorta stopped seeing it in that way, but now i realize when i first learned it i did not respect it. there was so much that da ma sing could teach me so many opportunities that da ma sing provide for me. i got to work on my basics, my centering, and my flow, and so much more. Doing the tai chi broad sword has made me realize this forms are these huge chances of extraordinary little experiences. all by having a different attitude and putting more passion into my forms. i want them to be awesome, but never perfect for if my forms were perfect it would mean i have nothing more to gain from them. remember everyone stay extraordinary.

effort, trying, priorities

hello this recent meeting that the i ho chuan had got me thinking about if you don't try or put in the effort you will be guaranteed nothing, and also about what is your priority which ranks higher in your life.
  for the trying and putting in effort one i started to think about what do i do that try and put effort in? i figured i put effort in my kung fu and my school. i really want to succeed in both so i put effort into it. and for trying things i found out that i dont really ask out to many girls mainly because i think that im scared of not being accepted for who i am and for what i look like. but after hearing myself say this i realize that i wont get anywhere with women if i dont put some effort into it. so i got to thinking if you don;t try you gain nothing but if you try and put in some effort in it you will always get a result weather it be positive or negative, at least your doing something, which is better then nothing. i have to realize that doing nothing will give me nothing, but do something will give me something. this sound simple enough, but this is for sure a lot harder to do. its easy to say but to actually do it in real life is two different things. im defiantly going to try harder and put more effort into finding a girlfriend, but not saying that it will be easy, but i am more aware of how hard im trying now.
    for where are my priorities i would have to say right now my university is top priority for me right now. i still keep kung fu up there, but i have already not attended some classes due to school, they were not my actual classes, but i see all the classes i can attend as my classes, because i always see and learn new things about myself or about other people.whenever i start thinking about priority i start thinking about balance. it good to have a top priority, but no one every has one priority. to tell you the truth i have yet to figure out how to perfectly balance all my priorities, but i'm pretty sure im not to bad at doing it. i dont think actually that someone could ever be perfectly balance in there priorities. i think that we just try to do our best and sometimes we exclude one, but then others might tell you your off balanced or you figure it out for yourself and then you adjust. this recent meeting has really got me thinking, i've heard these things before, but i never really applied it to myself and what i was doing in life.
    well if you read this far in my blog thanks for reading and remember stay extraordinary.

Feeling New

hello everyone things still seem to be on the up and up for me. University is going well for me and im really enjoying my classes. I'm learning new things all the time its so cool. The girlfriend situation for me still going nowhere tho *sigh* but I'm not giving up. Every girl seems to be unavailable or not interested. Being a new black belt and all it feel like i've entered a new world  for me everything new and exciting. I'm seeing things in a new light i may know the technique or form, but now i look at them like its the first time im really looking at them. I know how it works and whats it for, but now im truly seeing and appreciating what each technique can teach you and what each form can help you work on. it like why have i not sen this before but either way its so cool seeing kung fu this way again, but at a different level. anyways i guess not much to say today other than remember stay extraordinary.

Feeling good about this year

hello everyone i have been happy everyday since the banquet. My world has officially been turned upside down. also after the banquet on the next day. i felt m elbows and shoulders hurt so much., but i guess i was suppressing the pain until after the day, because my arm hurt bad, but they are better now, just some rest and there as good as new-ish. i am really excited about this yeqr because my mom has joined the I ho chuan team this year, and looking foward to seeing what my mom will accomplish this year.
     you know i am a new black belt, and i thought i would be feeling weird ( i can't really explain by what i mean by weird sorry. i tried and it confused me)but in reality i am now becoming excited and looking forward to what other might accomplish and other goings for there black belt. i want to see them succeed and possibly have a hand in it. the best way i can explain it is i feel happy that i am a black belt, but now i really want to make other people feel the way i do and help in any way possible. any ways i feel really good about this year and may as well continue my favorite tradition in my blogs remember stay extraordinary.

getting closer

hello everyone so the day is getting closer. the day we all show how far we have come and how much we have grown, and of course the black belt candidates. There are quite a few things i have learned when preparing for and actually doing the demo. For me it is the waiting and approaching day that is the worst, because normally i am always becoming my worst enemy. I always think i can't do this, i won't be good enough, i am going to let them down.  but that is how i used to think, now of course i am still worried, but now i think i can do this, i can get through this, we are doing this as a team, we are all trying are hardest to make sure that we have an awesome demo. there is no secret that i have found to help me get over my fear, it is just merely stepping out of my comfort zone, with lots of support and a little of my own strength. Performing in front of people is scary, but it is one of the only times you can show off to others what you have become. I'm worried, but i will never back down because i know if i ever do i will fall backwards. lucky for me though i have so many people to push me back forwards. when i think of this it makes me just so happy. we are surrounded by extraordinary people and always given the greatest of opportunity's. I am so glad that i get to share this experience with all of you and remember everyone always stay who you all are(extraordinary).

moment of happiness

hello everyone right now i feel really happy. I am do not full understand why but i do. I am going to university, going to lots of kung fu, and doing lots of training, trying to collect donations for my mustard seed charity. All this and i just feel happy. I must say i really am enjoying everything right now. I am always surrounded by such positive people and everyone is always having a such good time. For some strange reason i am happy but it feels foreign, like is this allowed for me? is this okay? to tell you the truth i don't know why this happiness i am feeling right now feels good, but at the same time guilty. I don't know why i would second guest being happy right now. but i guess i will enjoy it right now for the most of it, and hope i can continue the great feeling. Anyways i know what i write sometime makes no sense whatsoever, but maybe through writing this i can maybe figure it out. well remember to stay extraordinary.

sick, vent, calm, happy

hello everyone i am having a feeling right now that i haven't felt since my first year in I Ho Chuan. I feel sick, i am not actually sick, but in my own mind i become my own worse enemy. with the banquet coming up my social phobia is kicking into overdrive. I know i can't succumb back to who i used to be. i did not like who that person was, that person was always scared and super shy. i am no longer like that. i know i still have some way to go, but i can't be like that anymore. it's not me anymore. i now actively try and create conversations, i now try to be more open, and now i try to actually make myself a better person. and i have all of you to thank for that you all inspired me to try and make myself a better person, you have all have made me so happy, without I Ho Chuan or kung fu, i would be no where right now. Also i would like to say one of my personal requirements i have for myself next year. i say this one before this year end because i owe all my courage to you guy, and i thought just in case some might not be returning i thought i say it now. i have always been to shy and too hesitant to ever actually ask out a girl and henceforth i have never had a girlfriend. but this year my personal requirement, my personal goal is to get myself my first girlfriend. I always feel a lot more calmer after i write a blog, reveling my stress to the world. remember everyone stay extraordinary.
