Super Happy

Hello everybody, i am super happy because i have received a letter that states that i have been accepted into University of Alberta to study Geology. I can't believe i actually did, i will be the first in my fathers side of the family to get into University. Now that what i have been working so hard for, for so long. I am at a lost into what to do next. I will be trying to contact the university to ask what will my next step be, but either way i can not wait to begin. On another note though in San sou ( not sure i am spelling it right) I am actually really enjoying the new way of learning and all the bone density training we are doing, that is my favorite part. When i started the class i was still pretty new to it, but for me most of the class just seem really fun, which most of my other classes are, but before the new way, that's all i felt like what i was having, fun, i personally, did not feel like i was actually learning or gaining anything of value, other then some more socializing. But this new way of training i feel like we are actually learning a lot about what we can do and a new way of fighting that i was not entirely used to and of course bone density training. Although i was not their long enough in the class when the other way was being taught, to properly judge it. Anyways i find new San sou super fun and a great learning experience. Also i have also just received my new weapons i will be using for my next year of I Ho Chaun my twin hooks. I can't wait to start practicing with them, but not till after this year with my sais are done first.

so tired

Hey everybody i am just so darn tired. my job requires me to get up around six in the morning, and  know other people can do it just fine, but i am not a morning person. I try every time to go to bed early, but i always have troubles sleeping so i always end up with about five hours of sleep or less. There is something i have always said that i know that i am my parents kid for sure. My dad when he goes to sleep he has a hard time fallen asleep just like i do, but when he finally falls asleep he can be woken up by a pin dropping in someone else home. My mom on the other hand can fall asleep on a dime, she could just start thinking about going to sleep and she could. My mom works night and work mornings, i could head off to bed and my mom who has to go to work could still fall asleep ten time faster than me, and my dad and she is the big coffee drinker. But my mom once she is asleep loud noises are not an issue, we have a dog that always sleeps with her, and a lot of the time he will bark and random noises and she will not hear a thing, she may as well be dead to the world. I am the exact same way once i fall asleep i sleep super heavy, the only thing that wakes me up is a well hidden alarm clock that eventually wakes me, sometimes it will wake my dad up before it wakes me and he is on the opposite side of the house. Anyways i fall asleep like my dad it takes a few hours, but i sleep like my mom where i will hear nothing. well that is my sleep story, and if your not already sleeping by now, then welcome to the club :)

A wierd new year

This year feels weird to me i am going from lots of school and homework to none. I guess i am one of those people who like school, because when i am at school i know i am trying to better myself and trying to get a career that i want, but now that i am done upgrading i miss it. Now i go to a job where i do mindless work or so i believe. My job is easy enough i go to store to store and fill up the shelves with pop and condense the pallets. But as in any job their is always people who find it hard, and are lazy,  and making a bigger mess for me to clean up. This job i have really puts me in a down mood, just because it is a job full of people who have settled for this for the rest of their life and want to make other peoples life worse. I do not care if someone want's to or has to work at a job like mine. I have a friend who has already decided that this will be his first and last job, but it works for him. At my job i tend to go to stores where the managers of the store are not happy with what is happening and they are mad at me as if it was my fault, when it is the first time i work the store. I know why i get sent to these store, because i am the one who does all the hard work and makes them happy again. I hate my job, but  at least i know i will not be their for the rest of my life. If anything the silver lining about all of this, is it drives me harder wanting to escape this type of world; making me push myself to become a better person, knowing i never want my life to ever be dull and you know what as i am writing this blog right now i just realize why i am at a job like this, it is because it make me strive for something better. To tell you the truth it is hard to find the benefit of a bad situation, but blogging about it right now just made me realize it. Their is a technique i would like to perfect, finding that small little tiny silver line that does surround most bad things. Funny i learned a lesson blogging never saw that one coming. Well see ya and have a good day.

My I Ho Chuan Year

Hello everyone what a year this was. My year in the i ho chuan for me was quite a rocky ride. I started the year so great then somewhere along the road i fell off the wagon a bit, but it was not all bad.

My accomplishment is that i have completed the acts of kindness, the 1609 kms, the sparring, my sai form, and a few of my upgrading personal goals, I got 80's or higher in almost all my courses, Math 31, Phys 30, Math 30 Pure, Bio 30, the only two i did not get higher than 80 , and that was English 30-1, and chem 30. they were below 80, but not by much, only by 1 or 2 percent. Those were the toughest course for me and i study and did so much tutoring for those two course and i still did not get over 80. I also blogged one healthy recipe every month, and i was able to  keep up with my blogging. For the mending the relationship part I do not know if this count's but it was all that was in my life. I became closer with my Dad, and i confronted a friend about an issue that was making him angry and resolved it. The biggest thing is that i have conquered a lot of my fears of performing in public, and socializing with others. I still have a long way to go, because i feel awkward and shy and anti social just when i go see my family. It is not because they are horrible people it  is because i have never know how to socialized with my own family that sometimes i do not feel like i belong. I feel more comfortable at my job or Kung Fu compared to my family. When i say family i mean uncles aunts and grandparents, an cousins, not my parents i get along with them just find.

Where i failed was the little thing the most important thing, Push ups  and sit ups. This was the most single thing that was the most important, not because you had to do 50,000 in one year, but because this is one of the more important tools that keeps you engaged in kung fu and what put you in the right mind set for the rest of the day. I started to miss one day then two then it got bigger and bigger until i just stop doing them and that was the biggest mistake i did in the UBBT program. Also i was unable to complete my Lao gar 1000 times, i kept putting it off when i should  of took it on, just like i did my sai's. But i stop the push up and sit ups which made me less engaged. I also did not lose any weight i wanted to lose 40 lbs, and i did not. I have no excuses, i just did not put my mind to lose the weight i have done it before, yet i have failed.

What i have learned is that i should never stop the little things, even when i get sick, just reduce the numbers. And this year i will accomplish my goals this year all of them. Also i will put the mind set of losing weight it will be hard, but i believe i can do it. And if any of you out there had some of the same problems or just joining, If i can do it so can you. You just got to remember never stop the little things which would include, acts of kindness, push ups, sit ups, 1609km, and of course blogging, because it is what sets your mind set if you do not of it then you become ordinary, but if you do all of it you become a little bit more extraordinary.
