sadness
so my iPhone got all messed up after I tried doing certain stuff to it and it sucks because I had all of my blog post ideas on there. so poopy =/
no SAM
As much as I wanted to see the Michelangelo at the SAM today, I have to say that the day ended up being perfect regardless.
Clarissa and I went downtown to check out the exhibit, but it turned out the place was closed due to it being December 24 *Shakes fist angrily towards Rome* so we ended up just going to the flagship Tully's downtown and talked about everything that was going on and all that transpired throughout 2009.
It's so rare to have a mindset and have thoughts on life truly harmonize with another person so that's why when spend time with them, it's as if the stresses and burdens of this life dissipate into the breeze.
I sincerely love all of my close friends, but I'm only grateful for a few of them... Clarissa being one of them.

New Saying
So remember how I came up with the word tunapiss? (When your pee smells like canned tuna for unknown reasons [too much protein?].)
Well I just thought of a new one...
COUPEE ([cou]gh + [pe]ter)
Definition: A classification of urine which has a similar smell to drip coffee due to a recent and/or mass consumption of any type of coffee beverage.

Threadsy
There are so many websites that try to utilize facebook connect or use twitter access to try to bring extra features to those websites, but threadsy isn't like those. Threadsy is not about glamming-up what's already good, they're purpose is to bring everything together in harmony.
It's separated into a messages side and statuses side which is so very helpful for seeing what's new at a glance. It also updates live so that you never have to worry about refreshing the page or any kind of nonsense like that. There is also the ability to update both your fb and twitter statuses of course which makes it an all-in-one stop for major internet communication.
I think that the thing that sets threadsy apart is how intelligent it is in design. Everything is always right in front of your face and there's no navigating through page after page, or having to reload the entire page just to check one of your email folders. Oh, and how could I forget to mention how beautiful the interface is!
So if you want to get your life organized and stop dealing with multiple websites, threadsy is the place for ALL of your email accounts, fb needs, twitter updates, AND IMing needs!

It's been a weird couple of days. I've spent a lot of time at my parent's house because the garage is ubber messy and no one cleans there. So with all of my free time for the past two days I've been cleaning and organizing so that people can find stuff and have the ability to simply walk through it.
My two sisters and I are reunited again because Bonnie flew over from MN a couple of days ago and she'll be here until we come back from PI so that cool. What's weird is that we're all getting a long a little too well. It's slightly disturbing, but whatever. We even sat around and took pictures together just for fun. So weird.

Sweet Smelling Armpits
I spend a lot of time in the same church cloths on Sundays and because of that my white undershirts always become pretty moist in the armpit regions by the end of the day. It's eight hours or running around and getting stuff done in layers of cloths.
And you know it's so hard to tell what you actually smell like throughout the day, and it's even something you typically don't think about. So it's embarrassing when you get home and realize you built up some major funk throughout the day.
But in contrast to that regrettable discovery at the end of the day is the sweet and satisfying revelation that your armpit is blasting minty freshness as opposed to garlic and durian. It doesn't happen every time, but when it does you feel like you conquered the day with grace and style. When you look back on the activities that transpired it's like watching a feel-good movie with a fairytale ending!
So thank you to all of those deodorants that work. You are the makers of self-confidence.
A Good Night
Last night we had our final practice and it was great! It's been a long time since our choir as a whole has had a really good final practice. We usually get lectured about how unprepared we are and stuff like that, but not this time. You could just tell something changed for the better this time. Loved it.
Then after final practice we had devotional prayer and the DM was there for some reason so he gave us a short lecture on the meaning of the year-end Thanksgiving and how we should be prepared and it was a nice good. Then he prayed for the devo and it was a BA prayer for sure. hahaha I remember right when he was walking up to the podium my exact thoughts were, "Alright! Spiritual admonitions from the District Minister!" LOL
It was such a good night that I didn't even want to change out of my cloths when I got home, you know, to savor the moment.
A big thing from the final practice that really stuck with me was when our DCM told us to teach our hearts to be closer to God. I've read endless psychology books and tried to find patterns in human condition or development and one thing I've figured out is that people aren't as helpless as they think they are. We all have the power inside ourselves to change however we like. I know it's so much easier to change for the worse, to give into temptation and follow the common belief that your just a weak human that can't help it, but that's not true.
Teach yourself to follow a better path, to improve in the ways that you want, because if you have the belief that you can, then you will. It takes repetition and conscious activeness towards your goal, but you can reach it with time.

Special Morning Edition
I'm lucky enough to have a TV facing the front desk at work so in the mornings I always turn it onto Q13 news because I've always thought Lily Jang was waaaay cute, but then today I thought I'd find her twitter so that I could reply to her w/ this...
I of course felt a little suspicious and didn't even expect another reply but one still came...
Well I continued to watch her on TV, then once the commercial break hit I got a reply!...
And I was like WOW!!! No way!! So then I replied to her again and said...
I of course felt a little suspicious and didn't even expect another reply but one still came...
So then I was like EEEEEE!!!!!!!! <<<<<<<33333333
And I guess I was too excited about the thought of it actually being Lily who's replying that I forgot to add @liljang in my next reply...
*Backstory* My supervisor is married to the evening news anchor on the same station. There were times he told me that he could introduce me to Lily but I'd start to hyperventilate at just the thought! */Backstory*
Well I didn't even realize I forgot to add her in the reply until I got a direct message!
And THAT was the icing on the twitter cake! hahaha
Definitely my twitter moment of the year!!
"looked at your page."
*BLUSHING*
hahahahhaha
Just one more reason I love twitter!
Yummy Phobia
I have a few magazines about Seattle lying around because they all have great restaurant suggestions inside, but I'm salivating already for this one..
65 different sweets all over Seattle. Enough said.

On to a more serious topic now.
Hmmmm.... how should I put this....
I guess what I'm wondering is what is the name of the fear for someone who fears that they suffer from philopobia?

Google Voice
To kick of this series of my favorite apps that I personally started using in 2009 is GV.
Here's a little breakdown of what you can do...
- Ring multiple lines at once. (House, cell, work, etc.)
- Choose which line rings depending on who's calling.
- Choose parts of your phone number. (414-YORJ) Cheyah!
- Free texting and free minutes when using a VoIP service.
- Voicemail transcription to email and text.
- Automatically saves all texts and voicemails forever.
- Easily transfer contacts to different phones w/ google contacts.
I depend on GV so much that I can't imagine life without it. It's a part of me and I, a part of it.
It's just one of those services that makes life great again. 2010 should be the year of the Nexus One (Google Phone) and I can't wait for the awesomeness that Google will add to the cell phone world!
HOLLERRRRRR
It's weird how my body is already use to being awake all day without a problem. It only takes a day for me to go from working a week at night, to spending all day with friends and catching up on chores. I feel sorry for my body sometimes.

My feelings about the latest episode of Glee is a little mixed because it was a little bit cheesy and felt sorta rushed, but maaan..still pretty-really awesome.

Watching Old Couples Holding Hands
Every morning when I got home from work while I was living at my parent's house I'd see a couple walking along the street. It was always during the earliest hours of the day, hot or cold, rain or shine, and the thing that I noticed the most was how their hands were always intimately clasped with each other's.
They were more than just an elderly couple that looked full of life and energy, they looked like they had a love that perfectly matured along their journey together. I can't even imagine the kind of love they have together. Holding hands for years and years. They're were two people that gave me so much hope for the future... that maybe I can end up with the happiest of all endings.
Free Time
Let the relaxation begin.
So here's the plan. Everyday I'm going to work out three time. It's going to be swimming, cycling, and prison workouts. Should be fun. Or not.
Hopefully my grandma's house in Iloilo is near the beach so I can run on the sand and swim everyday.
___________________________
So lately it seems like everyone is trying to hook me up with a girl.
Don't get me wrong, it's very much appreciated...
it's just sort of weird as well. Weird how everyone tries at once I mean.
Maybe I'm just coming off as more sad and pathetic lately?
Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.

I'm sitting here in the parking lot of the chapel because I arrived 40 min. before the start of drill so now I finally got a couple of minutes to blog!!
I've been so MIA because I've been spending every night at work training the new night auditor from scratch. It's such a taxing process, but some had to do it. So because of all that, I don't have time to surf the interweberneterz!! Thankfully this should be the last week of training then it'll be back to the normal routine of chatting, reading blogs, watching tv online, reading rss feeds, and trying to find new music!
There's some other things I want to start doing again like maybe starting a new kdrama or jdrama and finis watching some of the animes I've already started. So many awesome things to do and so little time.
Thank goodness for this blogging app I found!
Last thing to mention before I change for drill is that it's officially one month till I leave for PI!!! *SQUEEEEKKKKK!!!*
I'm so excited, that means I have to diet and workout even harder hahaha. I really don't want to be the fat guy who has to swim with his shirt on because he's too ashamed of his man boobies.

OH! I haven't mentioned how excited I am for Kakashi!!!!!

Giant Joys Intro
I'm stating a new series called Giant Joys. It's going to be a continuing series of posts about little things in life that provide a big, warm feeling inside. The reason it's titled as such is because for one, I'm a giant person, and secondly, it just flows.
Thanks for being a dedicated reader of this blog!
oh wait... no one reads this thing. hahaha!

Thank you JEEBUS!
I pray to thank GOD for everything that I can think of because I truly am grateful, but today I was suuuuuuper grateful for that HE provided me with what I needed.
Ever since I moved out I've been spending massive amounts of money to turn my apartment into more of a home as opposed to a temporary place of living. So my pockets have been hurting, but I got a check in the mail for over $100 as a reward for using my Capital One card! On top of that I went to the Coinstar machine to cash in all of my pennies and it turned out to be about $100 as well! Minus 9% processing fee of course. haha (pictures on twitter)

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all,
That's all.

Misc.
I finally figured out how to transfer my blog to a different account so that I don't have to sign in and out of google just to blog! Now everything from this blog to wave is on 3.1415.in.your.eye@gmail.com

The great Tublr vs. Blogger debate is over in my book. Tumblr is just fleeting images and quotes while Blogger helps capture your essence. Well I suppose any blog like blogger would, but blogger is a google product and they have never steered me wrong before, so why change a good thing?
I love winter. I love when it's freezing cold outside, but the sun is still shinning. I love being able to see the air that people are breathing. And above all I love blankets.
Time
I can't believe there are so many people hating on Google Wave. If they don't understand the potential awesomeness that wave posses, then they don't deserve to use the internetz.
Look at how the Seattle times is using it for information on cop killings. http://is.gd/58UqU
What's great is the timeline feature which allows you to see all the progress to the wave from the beginning to help make sense of it all.

I watched ninja assassin over the weekend and man... I loved the movie. It had some of the best martial arts scenes I've seen in a while because they were continuous shots that allowed you to see every movement clearly. The effects were super tight..and so was their re-imagining of what a ninja is. Rain is friggin amazingly ripped. And the thing is that he was trained by the same guys who trained the spartans from 300. So I went to that specific gym's website and I'm so motivated now. I'm gunna train as hard as I can and have as strict of a diet as possible simply to prove to myself that I'm strong-minded enough to accomplish high goals. I'll make a photo timeline when I'm finished. That might not be till the end of Feb. since my vacation is only a month away.

Stuffed
This might have been the best Thanksgiving I've ever had!
First off let me just say that my mom make THE BEST stuffing ever. That's not even an overstatement. I've had a lot of other stuffings in my years, but nothing comes close to my mom's.
So I guess the highlight of the night was how well everyone was getting a long. My sister and I were acting like loving siblings, my dad was being joking around and was cheerful, and I even talked to my aunt who I haven't spoken with in two years.
Something I noticed is how much I really do appreciate my dad and everything he's done for our family. After I moved out I had a little time to reminisce about my life at the parent's house and it made me realize how unappreciative I've been towards my dad and everything he's provided us. He's always been a hard worker and very strict, yet fair, father and for that I am so very grateful. Even though we don't communicate very openly with each other, I know how much he cares.
I love my dad very much.
_________________________________________
Oh.... so I called this girl a few minutes ago who I've only called once before, but her and I have a little history I suppose you could say. Well I called and left her a message because she didn't pick up, then I went to check my facebook afterwards and happened to notice her update on my news feed from 30min. before I called it said how she wishes that she had someone to talk to and fall asleep with on the phone....so now I'm like CRAPPPP!!!! Now she's going to think that I read her status update BEFORE I called and I was just calling to try to swoop in and try to be the guy who fills in the missing piece of her life! Dangit! hahahahhahah

I got three things on the agenda for this thanksgiving.
1. HIYAAAAAA!!!!!!
1. HIYAAAAAA!!!!!!
2. NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM
more specifically...
3. ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzzzz
I haven't been as cheerful lately simply because I've been so tired. I need a normal sleeping schedule.
Koffee
People drink way too much coffee. I'm not even talking about espresso either, i'm talking about regular drip coffee. Working at the hotel as exposed this weird truth to me because every morning I see at least 75% of the guest get a minimum of one cup of crappy complimentary coffee.
KOFFING!!
I said coffee!!! No one can drink you. silly koffing.
It's just crazy how everyone is so addicted to coffee that most can't even function properly without it. That's really sad actually because they're basically addicts.
Keeping your body clean and free from dependence to other things in this world is what I'm all about. I don't even like advil for headaches, nor do I take anything for flues and colds. I think it's all about diet, sleep, and exercise to help promote self-healing.
