Trip postponed...

Yep, that's it... it was postpone due to the weather. Oh well... I guess we'll be heading tomorrow morning or something like that.

Anyhow on other notes, today(or yesterday) was a fun day. Last day of camp and since I had nothing better to do, I stayed to watch the kids show which needless to say was fun. It's so much fun working with the kids, I have to admit I never saw myself doing what I'm doing right now... hehe...

Although it is really tiring, like for instance right now I'm just falling asleep so bad... I dunno, I guess I gotta start eating better or something, hhhmmm... maybe take some vitamins or something??? Hhhhmmm it will be next year's resolution to get in much better shape or something(uh huh... right...).

Oh well I'm outta here I gotta sleep!

Happy New Year!!!

Well I know it's still one more day 'til the new year, but I'm actually not gonna be in the city... sooo that's why I'm wishing everyone a HaPpY nEw YeAr!!!!

Be safe ppl... everything in moderation... (and as my friend Pirata says) including moderation!

Alienating the blog...

He,he,he... yeah I know, I haven't been writing anything down lately but it's not 'cos I don't wanna(well...), it's just because I've been really busy lately and when I want to write something down I'm just too tired, or don't have anything in my mind at the time...

Luckily today I'm pretty much alive and just wanted to write something down... uuuuhhhh you know stuff... uuuummm yeah stuff...

hehe...

Anyhow I've been paying attention to the news and it's just horrible what happened in Asia with the tidal wave and all. I've been hearing, reading, and just watching the news about it and it really brings tears to my eyes just imagining what's happening over there. I heard about a little boy who was found wondering in the streets, and apparently his parents both died. Just today also in the paper I saw the picture of another kid who is still looking for his entire family. It is really sad...

I'm not really a religious person, but if there is a God hopefully he can help all those people in need.

=o(

Finally!

After bummin' around and slacking off, I finally reorganized my computer files, updated my calendar, and so it seems that I am ready for the new year! YAY!

Now all I have to do is organize my room, throw out the stuff I don't need and make place for the new stuff I will acquire this coming year... Oh well I'll do it sometime next week, hehehe...

Later!

My present for the ppl that are interested...

So my present to anyone(well actually the first five ppl to ask), is a free gmail account. I have five invites left so if anyone's interested hit me up and I'll hook you up...

Merry X-mas!!!

Merry X-mas!!!

Ah yess... it's that day of the year again, when everyone is merry, lot's of presents are passed around, kids are happy and rejoice, and a fat guy somewhere has a stomach ache from all the cookies and milk.

Anyhow hopefully everyone is having a blast and merry x-mas to everyone!!!

<]=oD

A mellow but loooonnngg day...

A yes... It was definitely a very long day. Went early to Acro for camp and all morning long I was anxious to just return home and sleep but it never happened. One of my co-workers fell ill to the strange flu/cold strain that's been going around and I had to cover. It was ok, I mean I got to interact with the kids a little bit more and they are a fun bunch, but the thing was that I just haven't been sleeping very well lately and all I wanted to do was sleep.

Anyhow after camp was done I just decided to stick around since I wanted to work a little bit more on my back tucks, and since today was open gym well you know... I trained a bit, although I couldn't do a lot 'cos of the knee... hhhmmm... no worries, it was all ok though.

I'm just glad I got home early today, that way maybe I'm gonna be able to get some sleep tonite...

Hopefully!

I hate the holidays...

As I sit here in front of the computer, eating my favorite cereal(froot loops with chocolate syrup on top), I have come to realize that I hate the holidays... Yep you hear it, or read about it right here. Althought don't get me wrong, I don't HATE the holidays, just this year's holidays...

I'm pretty much miserable, mainly cos my knee is all fucked up and I really want it to be healthy. I wish I could be able to do more stuff. Also I hate the fact that I'm just not happy with my life. Yeah, yeah I know... Life is suppose to be hard and shit but I dunno, I just feel like ranting about it.

I'm just happy this shitty year is ending... and a new fucked up year is coming up. Woohoo!

I'm ashamed of myself, I shouldn't rant, cos after all I know that there's ppl that are being less fortunate...

I'll just shut up now...

A busy week...

I just realized that it has been a week since I have put anything on the blog... I have definitely been busy. Let's see I guess that in between setting up my new pc, training, and going to work I haven't been able to put anything on it huh? But it's ok I mean at least I can say that I'm all well.

The knee has been improving this week and although I still haven't been able to play in the the roda, I have been training. I'm sooooo happy that I finally got my back tuck!!! Then on Thursday I got the hang of the back tuck from a front handspring!!! Finally after months of mental block and scary 'I'm gonna land on my head and break my neck' thoughts, I pulled it off. I gotta admit to myself that although it's not the best one in the world, it's pretty nice. Considering that I just started to do it!

=oD

Let's see what else has been going on this week? I got my new schedule for next year and I'm so happy that I'm getting a lot of hours. I'm just a bit bored of not doin' much, and also I gotta start next year strong.

Uuuummm... oh yeah I got to see Tracy's new apartment and it's nice. I love it, her roomies seem like they are cool ppl, and it's so close to Acro that I guess I'll be chillin' there a lot. Hehehe... or at least that's what I told her. =oP

Well so far I guess that's it, next week I only gotta do the camp, and we are only gonna have two days of training. Then on the 22nd my new LCD monitor will be arriving! YAY!!!
I love it!!! I also got a free 17'' that Mestre was gonna throw away so now I got three monitors and the LCD on the way, I gotta get rid of two somehow and also sell my old pc, a busy week apparently...

Oh well!

It's on!!!

Oh yes!!!

I've made up my mind and upon pondering almost the entire weekend I have decided to include a new LCD screen to go with my new motherboard and processor...

So as it is this is gonna be my new system:

• Abit IC7-G motherboard
• P4 3.2 ghz processor with hyper threading
• Kingston 1GB of RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200(might upgrade this later)
• Sony SDM-S94/S LCD panel
• Standard cd burner(have to check the specs on it)
• Two HD one with 80gigs and the second with 40gigs

hehehe... I am happy!!!

New blog I like to read...

Hehehe... I just love reading stuff on this blog I found called "Contraddiction", I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to read about...

well random curious stuff like this:

"Bumper Wars - Jesus Fish vs. Darwin Fish"

hehehe...

Calliope's Carousel!!!

Ah yes Friday is finally here... For the first time in as many days I was able to sleep until 9 or something, and it felt sooooo good. I gotta admit that sleeping is definitely one of the best things in this life.

Anyways today sounds like it's gonna be a fun day. I'm gonna go teach like usual and afterwards I'm volunteering to usher at the Zeum, for the incredible City Circus Troupe's show: "Calliope's Carousel"

The show is great from what I've heard, unfortunately I have been too busy lately that I haven't been able to support the crazy kids that perform in it(most of them I know from Acro), but today I will finally be able to see them in action!

Unfortunately the show will run until Sunday this weekend, so if you have time I invite you to go, trust me you will like it! If not just check the article in the Examiner:

"Wicked, twisty fun aboard 'Calliope's Carousel'"

Oh yeah here's the info:

• Calliope's Carousel

November 26 - December 12
Fridays at 7pm, Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm

Now this is just wrong...

Personally I'm glad I'm not in a relationship and getting ready to have kids and stuff, but if this woulda happen to me I would have killed the bastard...

Neglecting a lot of things...

Lately I've felt like I have been neglecting a lot of things... In a way I think I am, but it's not because I been lazy or anything like that. On the contrary I've been too busy lately which I guess is pretty good. It has been a long time since I've been this busy, running from one place to the other, checking the clock every fifteen minutes or so just so make sure I'm on time. I love it!

On other news I just got my motherboard today!!!

YAY!!!

Hopefully the rest will be here tomorrow and then I'll just have to wait for the case which will be arriving on monday or so... I'm soooooo happy!!!

=oD

On a quick update, I was able to train today but I limited myself to just kicking... No playing in the roda since I just don't think my knee could take it. I gotta go get it checked, I'm fearing that I might have blown my ACL, but hopefully that's not the case... that would be the end of capoeira for at least six to nine months... hhhmmm...

Let's see... I think that's all for now, I gotta check the news to see what's going on in this crazy world... later!

Bad Knee!

There has definitely been a lot of things that have slowed me down this year, but none has been as bad as an the injured knee I have right now... It sucks!!!

I can't train, it hurts when it's cold(which right now is everyday in SF), I'm probably not gonna be able to teach classes(hhhmmm...). It sucks...

Oh well, on other news I'm finally upgrading my PC!!! Yeah!!! So now a new 3.2 P4 processor, a IC7-G Abit motherboard, 1 Gig of RAM, and a brand new case are on the way. Oh yeah!!! I'm pretty happy about it, finally something I can rejoice about!

Then let's see what else??? Oh yeah I got to talk to a friend which I haven't seen in over two years! That was fun since I really miss my friends from back home.

Other than that for now I ain't got much to say... Lately I've just been too busy and when I come back I'm too tired to write down anything... Hopefully I'll get a little more time free tomorrow or Wednesday and I'll write something good.

Saturday!!!

Finally I'm spending some time at home for now. Early in the morning I wento to the offsite school and taught the kids which for my surprise were not too crazy(someone loves me up there!), and right after that was over I was dropped off at Fromi's house and we drove up to UC Davis to teach a capoeira class(that was fun as well!).

Overall today was not that bad, although on the way back I passed out in the car since I was too tired(a much needed nap if I can say so myself). I know I should be staying home today and not do anything, but I just feel like doing something, so probably I'll just go play GTA or something, hehehe...

And it's not over yet...

Yeah I'm talking about my week. Even thought I would just love to say that the weekend is here, I'm still not resting just yet... Tomorrow I got the offsite early in the morning, and afterwads in the afternoon I gotta go up to Davis for a capoeira class. Just when I thought things were gonna get better on Sunday I'm doing the b-day parties at Acro, and then on Monday morning I gotta be there again at 8am!

=oP

Wew!
Anyhow I can't complain, since I'm glad to be working at least part-time(finally!), I took off almost a year and to tell the truth I was getting tired of just bummin' around.

On other news today(or better said yesterday) was a good day, I went to teach the class at the Lycee and althought I had a little problem with one of the kids it was all great! The got the armada down quick(which I didn't expect) and hopefully by next class I'll have them throwing mea lua de compasso. Then afterwards I help T with his class and it was also fun. The first 15 mins were hard but thereafter it picked up.

Later I went to class and it was fun as well. I didn't train since I was just too tired but I got to play some music and a few challengin' games. Thereafter I headed over to Salsicha's house to play to San Andreas, and then went to Karen's farewell party which was ok. Looooong ass day...

I need to sleep!
