Smooth Roads

" Smooth roads never make good drivers. Smooth seas never make good sailors. Clear skies never make good pilots. A problem free life never makes a strong and good person. Have a tough but winning day ahead! Be strong enough to accept the challenges of life. Do not ask life, 'why me?' instead say, 'Try me'." -Valen

Status: In a relationship

Yes, I'm in a relationship. Anniversary date: January 22, 2009. With who? With myself for the next two years and a half. I want to stay dedicated and committed to myself to go to the gym at least three times a week. Maybe even more on good weeks. My goal was to fit into that graduation dress. But it's more than that now. And I decided that this is part of my life from this day forward. It cost me $$ but it will give many rewards in return. Strength, Endurance, Power of determination, and Feeling of Accomplishment. Who said money can't buy happiness? Well, they're right. Because I just bought on myself some pain. I recently joined a club membership at french riviera. and did some crazy things the past two days. and I feel muscle aches in my thighs, abs, and arms. The beginning is always the hardest. But one step at a time, I think I can get over it. If I can just push myself in the beginning, I know it will pay off. Just like school. The beginning was hard, but the past two years was worth it! This is the next part of my life. Here's to the next two years.

Sunrise

Why do I wake up so early in the morning?! I really want to go back to sleep. I have a long day ahead of me. so after clinics, I'm going to a free one week trail at french riviera with my little sister. I want to fit into my graduation dress that I'm borrowing from my older sister. It's a very nice dress and has all my favorite colors to wear on there. which is light blue, navy blue, black, and gray.
Also, my teeth is starting to feel funny. I wonder if it's because my cap is off for too long. But it's not uncomfortable. it comes and goes. I'm thinking it's just my gums. I've got an root canal extraction done to it, so I don't think I should feel anything.
My birthday is coming. I'm going for sushi, as usual. It's my favorite! and a cake too of course. I love specialty cakes. Just cake and dinner is all I can ask for. I need time afterward to do my thesis.
I finally picked a topic. Metabolic Syndrome with a respiratory aspect of Tobacco Smoking and cessation. Pretty good topic according to Dr. Zamjahn. He says no one has ever talked about it for a very long time in the program for their thesis. And gave me some direction to where my paper is heading. =) I'd like it to be interesting to talk about. And interesting to my fellow colleagues when I talk to them about it for our oral presentation. At first I didn't know what it was until now. It's medical conditions where you have hypertension, hyperglycemia, diabetes type 2, and at risk for cardiovascular disease.
anyways, damn these waking up in the early morning for nothing. I wanna sleep!

Singing Talents

So I was bored tonight and really can't sleep yet. Hence it's 1:00am in the morning! I know. I have to get up early at 6:45 to go to clinics. But I can't fall alseep yet. And I sure don't want to wake up 4-5 o' clock in the morning hoping to get another hour sleep in. That makes me tired too not being able to sleep straight through the night.
What to do to kill time and try to bore myself to sleep. Watch some youtube videos.
I watched Leona Lewis X factor shows. And somehow landed on Carrie Underwood singing the national anthem. And she did a very good job. Way much better than Kelly Clarkson. Oh, by the way I was comparing Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This" to Leona's. And I gotta say, Leona's is way much better. Then I got to watching more videos on National Anthem singing. Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and Jojo were all similar and did not sound classically wonderful. It was non-traditional; but still good in its own poppish way. But the three I think who sings it best and made it sound very classically inspirational are (1) Beyonce, (2) Jordin Sparks, (3) Carrie Underwood.
After watching the best singers I know all sing one song. I really think they are truly some talented women. Two who came from American Idol. Carrie didn't win though, she won third place actually. Anyways I think Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood, and Jordin Sparks are all much more talented than Kelly Clarkson. But no one can top Beyonce. She's very talented.

Simplifying

I'm trying to combine all my online journals into one.
I have too many sites that I visit
and write so many different things randomly.
I want to just have it in one spot.
So here's all my blogspots into one.
With xanga old entries.
I just need to add the pulses.
But how am I going to know the difference of a pulse and entry?
I guess it doesn't really matter how short it is.
and I'm trying to get livejournal in maybe tomorrow or something.
I think i have a few myspace entries too, but I always delete them.
And it's gone forever.
I have some saved on my hard drive too.
Uh huh, Yeah.
