Life as we know it....

Hey. It's been a while since I posted anything. There are so many topics so let me delve into it right away.

For awhile I was into politics but that was just a phase. I got so sick and tired of it so quickly. There are two sides to each argument but no compromise on anything. Just plain arguing with no end where each side is wrong. Then there is the Tea Party activists. Their arguments make no sense at all and what worse is that Sarah Palin is their main leader. Jeez, when did she get any credibility?

Weather has been weird lately, It was so warm for a long time I forgot it was April. I loved the weather where it was sunny and didn't have to wear a coat but now it's cold. It had to even out some time. Now's it's warm again. It has been so calm compared to recent years, finally.

Sometimes things just don't work out even you try your hardest. Life is like that for me. I can't find any job even though I am trying. I still haven't graduated due to circumstances beyond my control. Yet,I keep fighting on. Hopefully, one day, I will catch a break. There is hope out there. My mom and I are having arguments because it's frustrating talking to her, sometimes. She doesn't understand my, my dad, or sis's situation. At this time, I don't need people telling me the same thing over and over again.

Now for some better news. I have gotten to my goal weight and now am looking to lose some fat. My cardio has gotten progressively better since the beginning of the year, even though I lost time when I went to India. I just ran a 5k for the first time. It was exhausting but I did it. Now let's see if I can improve the time. My weight lifting has also improved, where I can bench up to 115 lbs. Start of this year I was benching 100 lbs.

Post will be coming sometime soon.

long time.....

It's been awhile so let's get to it. This is what I have been up to.
I have been working out hard lately and am seeing results. It's not where I want to be but it's getting there. My cardio has vastly improved from 3 months ago. But that's nt I wanted to talk about.
My chaotic 6 weeks started like this. First, I had to do something that I didn't want to do but am glad I did. I won't specify but it helped get a better understanding of myself. After that, I went to cousin's place in KC to visit, you know hang out and stuff. It was fun for the few days then it got hectic. Before the hectic stuff started we went out bowling, saw a few movies, and played games just like old times (I also worked on 1000 piece puzzle by myself). Then he got a job interview in GR, which I went with him. I showed him around and met a couple of my friends there, it was great. And I thought that was exhausting but it was a preview of things to come. As soon as we got back, he found that he's getting married in India in two weeks. So, as a family we wanted to see the wedding and we did. With my mom's condition it wasn't going to be easy but everything worked out. It was all chaotic from there on out. The wedding was only a few days away and we needed clothes, shoes, and everything else that's needed. On top of that we were jet-lagged and tired but had to move on or we would be left behind. Of course Indian weddings had a bunch of formalities to complete. It took, what it felt like, was forever. I slept through one part of the ceremony. Eh, they got pics. After the wedding was done, we (dad, sis, and me) went to Mysore to go see the palace, gardens and Buddhist monastery. It was nice and relaxing. I saw the IPL there (a Cricket tournament that pretty much takes over the country) and it was awesome. We all got back home to see snow on the ground. It was pretty much in the 90's and sunny everyday there. It was tiring but a part of my life I will never forget.

Another post will coming soon. Peace.
