I wish that I was better in tennis
I wish that I didn't have to go to school
I wish that I would meet a special girl
I wish that I can get a new car
I wish that I can get a new computer
I wish that I can get a new tv
I wish that I didn't procrastinate
I wish that things would be so much easier
I wish that I could become what I've always wanted to become
I wish that everything will be okay
...
I wish I didn't complain so much.

Thoughts On Paper
TENNIS
Today, I was lucky enough to catch a Division 1 ODU Tennis Match on campus.
Man, were they good...
Watching them play was really fun and was inspirational...however, it made me a bit envious.
I wish I was as good.
Anyways, they'll partially be my exigence for getting better.
SAVE MONEY
One thing I really need to do just to feel much better financially is save money.
I think I don't shop as much as I used to anymore and I don't buy random, unnecessary things...so I guess the problem is food. I spent way too much money on food, I need to eat at home.
SCHOOL
School wise, I'm doing fairly well and it's kind of a shock in a way, lol.
I know I'm a smart guy and I have the potential to get really good grades, but you know...laziness.
I'm doing well with A's and B's now, so I need to keep it up.
19
Turning nineteen soon...ah, doesn't really change anything.
I needa make a wish list soon ! lol
Maybe, that'll be my next blog post.
Just maybe.

Time is of the Essence
I haven't had too much time to just sit here and relax, so here I am now.
It's been almost a week already since my first post, goodness...
Time has felt like it has been flying since forever now. The days, weeks, and months are going by really fast. I am constantly finding myself saying every week, "Oh my gosh, it's already Friday again, or it's already school again...or it's already whatever." or "It's already been a week since we did this or that..." You know?
Let me recap on what I did the past week, if I can even remember...
Wednesday 02/11/09 - It was a chill day, basically...school, pingpong at the webb, went to the gym with my friend Ngan, had a really nice convo at her apartment, headed home.
Haha, the gym was really interesting...I don't know, I think the gym is boring...I mean, I'd rather play tennis than run on a treadmill, seriously. lol. Oh well, it was good, plus I gotta work on my biceps anyways. That day wasn't all about me working hard and trying to really work out anyways, it was more of a day for me to catch up with a friend. I've known this girl since middle school, but we never talked too much and then meeting up at ODU, after splitting ways during our four years of high school, is nice. I thought it was pretty nice that we were able to talk to each other, comfortably...Well I thought so, I don't know about her...haha. Anyways, a good talk is probably a lot more fun than anything. I'd rather have a good talk with a good friend, than to go out and party or drink, or bad things like that.
Thursday 02/12/09 - Another pretty chill day, except that night, AHH! Had a philosophy test that I did alright on, then...went to play tennis with my friend Jason...eventually met up with more people at Landstown. It was really windy that day, and made me angry...so I just quit playing and started to mess with Jason's "ripstick"...Those are pretty fun ! 2 wheeled skateboard things? haha. Afterwards, I let my girls, Liz and Rachel drive in my car...under my supervision, yes offcourse...then we decided we were hungry. So went to go eat Pho with Jason, Reymark, Liz, and Rachel...it was pretty fun. At this point, it was getting late for the high schoolers =p
I had to go do some homework too, but that night was horrible...I procrastinated so much and ended up staying up till 3AM...I hate it haha.
Friday 02/13/09 - Fridays are starting to become empty, I never have anything to do anymore. Maybe I should start working on Fridays. Friday was school, tennis with Reymark, then ate and chilled...probably the best part of this day was making up our own 4 chord medley with guitar.
Saturday 02/14/09- Oh, Valentine's Day. I've always thought this holiday was pretty pointless. It's a day for "love", but everyday should be a day for love, right? So what did I do on Valentine's Day? I woke up, went to work at 11 to 3...and was thinking the whole time, "I really have nothing to do afterwards so I'm going to ask to stay longer...So I asked my manager if I could stay, but then she asked if I could close tonight...and I thought about it again, "I really don't like closing on a Saturday night...but hey, nothing to do...I'll do it" So I took a 7-11 shift that night, and during my 4 hourish break, I did nothing but watch tv and attempt homework...it didn't work. On the way back to work, I listened to Neyo, probably one of my favorite R&B singers...he has a lot of really good songs that I can somewhat relate to, and then started thinking a little, "I feel pathetic, working two shifts on Valentine's Day..." My first shift at work definitely felt much easier than my night one...I think I was tired mentally, but it was fine. This one lady came in with a whole bunch of these valentine five dollar off things we had, and she used one for one item, and she had like 50...so it took me forever to ring her up, it made me kinda stressed and I don't even know if I was allowed to do that...but I did anyways, cause she kept complaining that someone already told her she could, and there was no limit on the back, so hopefully I don't get in trouble, lol. Ah, after getting out at about 11:30, I ate...tried to finish my intro to business homework, which stressed me out some more...then crashed. I can say, that even if this Valentine's Day didn't feel the same as the last 3 I had, with a girl, I really didn't mind. A lot of people were surprised at work and outside of work that I didn't have a "Valentine" and even though it's pretty flattering cause of the compliments and all...the whole, "Why don't you have a girlfriend? You're handsome" Get's old, =p. Being single is kinda aiiiight, even though...Yes yes, it gets lonely sometimes, I know.
Sunday 02/15/09 - I woke up trying to finish my Intro to Business homework by the time I had to leave for work since it's due at 6PM. I barely finished, but I did and I felt like I did a crappy job. Even though it's supposed to be such an easy class, it stressed me out. Worked from 3-8PM, it was busy today. =/...but got an ONC, yay. Yeah Tommy, I was being Mr. Determined today, lol. Nah, jk, I just got lucky. I shoulda went to sleep since I didn't really have anymore homework, but I just felt like blogging instead. And now, at 1:06AM, I'm officially about to call it a night.
And oh, the whole time...I couldn't think of a title for this blog, so I guess I'll just call it...
"Time is of the essence."
Lol.
Goodnight.

The Beginning
Well, well, well...
This is my first post on blogspot, woo! Haha. I never really had too much motivation to write in this or the Xanga in the past few days, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.
ANYWAYS, I don't even know if anyone will read this. I'll just speak on any random thoughts I have here and whoever reads, will read...I suppose? Here it goes.
So the weather has been really nice lately, it's tennis season!
I remember walking from the back of Landstown to the tennis court around this time of the year, last year. The weather was beautiful and just knowing that I could enjoy my favorite sport and passion...it was great. This year, feels different though, in a sense. Most of it is probably due to the fact that I graduated and can no longer play "high school tennis". Looking back at my four years on the team, it's just overwhelming and surprising...that it's over for me. I accomplished a lot and have been improving since I started playing seriously in 8th grade summer, but I wish I can have one more year. Haha, I've probably said this over and over before...but yeah. It makes me happy to see people who want to get better work hard and stay enthusiastic...but nowadays, it's not even about the hard work. Nowadays, it's just people who start playing because their friends play or cause they just want something to do...people who just think they're good because they "made the team". It really is true that #1 at Landstown don't mean ish and even making the team don't mean ish...none of that means anything if either 1. you're losing every match or 2. you don't even try your best...I want to see someone work as hard as I did when I realized that I wanted to play tennis. If you want something, you just gotta keep trying...you know? Oh and that reminds me...for things that I'm truly interested in, I get really passionate about it...if there is one thing that I actually like about myself, it's that I work hard for things I want...and it showed during my tryouts in freshmen year. My coach would tell me that he liked my tenacity and determination on the court...I was proud that I made someone that I needed to impress, impressed as well. So, from those days on...I guess I gave myself the nickname, "Mr. Determined"...and it has stuck to me since. I've had my ups and downs with tennis...sometimes I just wanted to quit cause I felt that I wasn't good enough or cause it was just starting to bore me, but I'm glad that I have stuck to it and hopefully I continue to progress.
Haha, even though I was planning on writing down all my thoughts I had for today...I'll just only do one more...something that happened at work, and it made me think.
I was talking to my coworker earlier tonight and she started asking me what my plans were for Valentine's Day. I told her that I was working and then I don't know what. She was like, "Seriously!?" So I just said yeah? and she asked me, "Is your girlfriend mad that you're working?" I was like, "What? Haha, I don't have a girlfriend right now" and she seemed a little surprised. She said to me, "I though you'd have a girlfriend, you seem like such a nice guy" Haha, it was just interesting. It made me think about the last and first relationship I had, three and a half years. It's kind of funny looking back to that, haha. I learned a lot from it and I don't have anything else to say. Maybe next time, just maybe...I don't feel like I wasted those years on a girl. Lessons learned, but soon to be forgotten.
Speaking of the whole lessons thing, just wanted to talk about one more thing. I guess you have to experience a lot of things in life first hand, until you can learn a lesson or know what's wrong from right or right from wrong. So I just recently crashed my sister's car, if it was the first time I've done something like that, then...maybe it wouldn't be too bad on my part...but like three or four times? The first time, I probably told myself..."Okay, lesson learned..." But, still it happened again. I guess I really didn't learn, or maybe I just forgot. Every crash has gotten worse and worse. Hopefully, there is NO next time. I really want to say and know that I've learned my lesson and that's the truth.
Ah, it's late...
Maybe I'll mess around with this entry some other time.
I'd say this was a pretty good first entry!
Goodnight =]
