The culmination
So... This is the last personal blog of mine for this semester. I seriously did not know what to write about but after realizing this is the last personal blog, I decided to write about something that has been bothering me for a while now. Ever since I started college last semester, I have been hearing stories of people graduating and not being able to find jobs within their respected field. I am afraid whether I will become one of them and by the way the economy is looking, I have a feeling I will be. My parents went to college, graduated, got a job within their fields, and are making a sufficient amount of money. But I'm wondering whether I will be able to do the same thing. This only makes me want to work harder and do anything to succeed. I'm also planning to apply for the FBI once I receive my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. Hopefully, I can do the things I want to do and make my parents proud.
Strict Diet
Along with working out, I have been on a very strict and lean diet. Instead of carbing up like most bodybuilders, I'm eating like a 500 pound obese person trying to lose all the fat. I need to get lean first before I return to Natural BodyBuilding again. I have gained about 15-20 pounds of fat the past 6 months ever since I stopped bodybuilding and so I have to get back to 15% body fat again.
Back to clanging and banging
The week after Spring Break, I decided to start working out again. I did bodybuilding during the summer and I accomplished my goal. I was able to put on muscle mass like I have never been able to put on before. I followed a routine by a guy on YouTube and I was successful at putting on mass. Although I didn't stick to a strict diet, I was still able to put on a good amount of muscle. My friends that I have not seen since last year told me I probably gained 5 or 10 pounds of fat but in reality, I gained 50 pounds overall. I stopped working out when I got a job last December and now I'm back to lose the extra fat and even get bigger muscle gains.

End of my Spring Break
After spending the first half of my Spring Break on my couch with the flu, I recovered and went on to back to back to back 8 hour closing shifts from Thursday until Saturday. What a horrible week. Worst Spring Break ever. That Sunday however, I didn't have work and I was able to get an 8 hour sleep. I went to church that morning and my favorite priest was the preacher that mass. It was a perfect day to hear about God's message for Easter from my favorite priest. I spent the rest of the day preparing food and the grill because we had visitors come over for Easter dinner. We had steak, ribs and some good 'ole Filipino food that my mom prepared. It was a great ending to my horrible Spring Break.
Week of Spring Break
Going out on Sunday night was the worst decision I have ever made. My flu got even worse and I felt as if I was on my deathbed. That stayed the same the whole first 3 days of the week from Monday until Wednesday. All of a sudden, the flu went away when I woke up that Thursday morning and I had an 8 hour closing shift later that day. That Friday, I also had another 8 hour closing shift. What a great Spring Break -_-
1st weekend of Spring Break
The flu got worse. I was in worse shape than I was on Friday. Good thing I didn't have work or else I would have died. It was a horrible start to my Spring Break. I wanted to go watch a movie that Saturday night and go out with my friends. That Sunday however, my friends came over and we watched Wrestlemania 28, WWE PPV. We stopped watching WWE but after hearing that our childhood hero, The Rock, came back, we wanted to watch the event and it did not fail. It was a great show and well worth our money. We went to Chipotle and even though I was sick, I felt as if I had energy because of the event that night.
1st day of Spring Break
It was a Friday and I have been waiting for that day this whole semester. Instead of having fun, I was on my couch the whole day suffering from the flu. I caught the flu from a guest who was sick and kept talking to me at work the night before. I also missed out on a great party thrown by my co-worker and former High School friend. Almost everyone I knew from my old High School came and my closest friends that I hung out with in High School came to the party. What a BUMMER !
The Ultimate Fighting Championship
I am a Sports fan and Basketball will always be my favorite sport. But lately, I have been intrigued by a new up and coming sport, Mixed Martial Arts. This sport has everything you want to see in a fight. Ground game, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, and even Capoeira (dance fighting). It gives me the adrenaline to workout because of the excitement I feel when I watch these fights. I have a feeling this is gonna be the next big thing in 10 years. Everyone will know Anderson Silva and Jon Jones just like how everyone knows Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
Working at Target
So it's been 4 months since I started working as a Cashier at Target and I have to say, it's been super great! I got with the flow really fast and real easily and now I'm opening more redcards (Target credit cards) than most of my co-workers. It's really hard to get guests to open credit cards but with proper use of smile and deceiving with charm, it can be done :)
Nike Free Run
So I bought these new running shoes called Nike Free Run and they are FRIGGIN' AMAZING! Greatest shoes I have ever owned. So light and comfortable, I basically wear them everywhere. I am planning to doate all of my shoes to Goodwill because I feel that I no longer need any other shoes but my Nike Free Runs. You guys should get 'em!
I'm BACK!
Well, it's been a month since I've posted a blog. I have been procrastinating, well I always have been, but more hardcore than ever the past month! Time to finish all my work and finish this semester strong! Let's do this!
