Sorry. Been Busy

To the few of you that read this. Sorry that I havent been updating as much as I used to. Life has been putting a lot on my plate lately. Which I really love because I feel like I am making the most out of every single minute. Never really have time to sit down and upload pics and write on my days. Been working hard so I can also play even harder. Here are a bunch of pictures from the past week. Cant really write much since I gotta get ready for bed. Im suppose to be at work at 6 in the morning tomorrow! ahhh goodnight!
















Oh and Ive decided to actually give the Instagram app on my phone some attention. Its a legit and fun app. Makes pictures look better without all the hassle of editing them yourself. A few clicks and youre done. Some of the pictures below and doubles from above. Enjoy!

Valentines Week

I was never much of the romantic, give you flowers, feed you chocolate, take you to dinner, type. But I see that slowly changing, especially these past few months. Found myself picking flowers and putting them in diet pepsi bottles. Never really done anything like this before but it felt nice surprising someone and hearing the excitement in their voice or the look on their faces.

Its also nice receiving things too. I got a whole bunch of chocolate and an awesome kite on the way. Pics of that when it comes in.

Since I didnt want to do the typical movie and a dinner date (which I think is pretty boring and unoriginal). Instead, my valentines was spent visiting the East Bay Vivarium. If you havent been here, you are seriously missing out.

Forgot what kind of snake this was. But this guy was so ugly he was cute. You know what I mean?
You know what it is. Black and yellow. Black and yellow. haha
Cant even imagine having this in my house.
I think you can rent this guy for one of your parties.
This guy too. I think?
Sleeping.
Best Valentines Day chocolate. haha
One of the most enjoyable Valentines Ive ever had. Finished it off with Top Dog, King Pin donuts, Sweetheart, and a movie. I was definitely happy.

Yesterday my brother participated in the Hayward Unified School District spelling bee championship. Top 8 would be going to the Alameda County Championship. My brother is super smart and after winning his school's spelling bee, he got a little too confident. He ended up messing up a word a round before the top 8 was chosen. He was pretty devastated, but I think he needed it. It humbled him up a bit and I hope he takes it as a learning experience. Im still really proud of him though.

Now the foods.


Then the weather. Its been pretty bipolar lately. At the moment its gotten real cold and its pouring buckets and the wind is crazy. The sun really wants to come out and play. I hope it does soon so I can play along with it.

Gaining Weight

One consistent topic that consistently gets brought up is my weight. Most people think that Im too skinny and that I need to eat more. What not a lot of people see is that, for my size, I can eat. As in I can eat as much as your fat uncle and maybe even more. My ihop ham, sausage, and bacon meal followed by 20 pancakes can attest to that. But thank god to my awesome metabolism handed down to me by my parents, it is very difficult for me to gain any weight. But also it makes it way too easy for me to lose some.

Thats exactly whats been happening since the beginning of this year when I stopped eating meat. I think Ive lost 5 pounds give or take 2-3 pounds. I eat more now but still my weight keeps going down. I think it's because Im losing muscle mass. So I need to start lifting more. Oh but that's gonna have to wait cause I hurt my right shoulder and it hurts when I raise my arm. Dear shoulder, heal faster!

Heres some picture worthy meals last few days.



It was also my sister's 17th birthday. We went to Fenton's Creamery and had the whole restaurant sing her happy birthday.
My good friend Peter also came back up for the weekend. He currently works as a registered nurse in Lancaster middle of nowhere California. Always good to catch up and talk about college and our current jobs.
and here are some randoms.


also my road bike (or what i have of it) is for sale. Listed on craigslist for 400 but 375 for any of you that I personally know. Thats just the frameset only but if you want the seatpost, saddle, stem, and bottom bracket I can give it to you for $500. Nevermind.

SOLD!
