Class is Now in Session…

Sit down everybody. Take a seat. Let me school you on something I like to call “class”. Class can be defined as “elegance, grace, or dignity, as in dress and behavior”. I like to pride myself as having class when needed. Young bucks don’t really appreciate true class so I like to associate myself with the older crowd. I’m more mature than most think and a lot of my closer friends can attest to that. I don’t really like to fraternize with people my age, the 21 year crowd. It’s really bad. I grew up under my Gramma’s wing and I was brought up as a Momma’s boy kinda. I bit my tongue when it’s not needed, I didn’t speak up towards anyone, I held doors open for anyone walking in or out, and I always held my farts until I was in the bathroom. I had manners and I had class.

Someone told me that in order to get a girlfriend or to even have a girl REMOTELY interested in me, I would have to be a jerk. I tried it. I don’t care too much for it. I want my girlfriend and even my friends to know me as the guy that was nice to everyone. I don’t like to be rude, especially to women. So being a jerk will not work for me. I want a woman to like me for who I am. I don’t want to be a jerk until we’re finally going steady and then I’ll turn into a fucking simp. No. I want to be a simp straight up. I want to be chivalrous. I want to pay for dinner. I want to pay for that movie. I want to bring you flowers on the third date. I want you to meet my parents. I definitely want to meet yours.

I’m 21 now. I’m not 18. Only young bucks play those stupid games. Have nothing fights. If we’re going to fight, it better be for a damn good reason. I’m not about to fight over nothing and have make-up sex because you don’t know why I didn’t like your PB&J sandwich you packed me for lunch. Someone asked me if I grew from my previous relationship and I told them that I did. Will I get to prove it? We’ll have to see. I’m not sure. I was interested in someone but not anymore. I’d much rather have you as my friend than ruin what we have. If it turned into anything more, I just want to let you know that I will treat you like a Queen.

My good friend Kenny Dao of the San Diego Street Fighters fam (check out the blog at http://sdstreetfighters.wordpress.com) said, “A gentlemen will always be a plus, even when the girl lacks the class to appreciate it”. If a woman cannot appreciate the fact that I am showing her the respect that she deserves and abuses me for my class, then she can go into that group of other GIRLS that are looking for a free dinner or free movie.

So, ponder this lyric for me. Check out a Tagalog to English translator.
“Uupo na lang at aawit
Maghihintay ng pagkakataon
Hahayaan na lang silang
Magkandarapa na manligaw sa’yo
Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong ito
Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara
Idadaan na lang sa gitara”

It’s the inside that counts

Hello again. It’s been a minute since I’ve updated this blog. I’ve been messing with other blogs like Xanga and the SDSF WordPress, but because people are starting to blog on their own blogs again (namely cupcake), I want to start mine again. On the adventures of my life and to dwell into yours.

I’ve begun a journey the other day that I’d like to chronicle. It’s the Journey to 220. It’s about my fight for better health, self-esteem, and love. I used to weigh about 230+ lbs out of high school. I was in the best shape of my life during my Freshman and Sophomore years because of JROTC and water polo. I was avid at sports. I loved football, water polo, and I loved to work out with my Drum Corps. Everyone knows that when you get into a relationship, you blow up. I did for sure. I blew up to a peak of 290. Right now, I’m currently sitting at 280. My Journey to 220 is a title I gave my goal to hit 220 lbs by my birthday (May 26).

Better Health: Being obese can lead to many complications, some of which I am/have already experienced. Those complications can be hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol levels, diabetes, clogged arteries, and etc.

Self-Esteem: Sure, you may be happy that you are YOU, however, are you happy that you weigh so much and are eating your way to an early death? I’m not. I want friends to look at me and be like, “Damn. Allen lost ‘hella’ weight.” That’s the positive reinforcement everyone needs. I can’t wait to see my results.

Love: I’ve been single for almost 2 years now and I want to look good for the next one that comes along. I was very lackluster in my dieting and exercise in my previous relationship so I want to up the ante. I don’t want to settle for ANY girl. I have standards now. Standards that I must reach and make. The Black Eyed Peas said it perfectly, “Meet Me Halfway”. I want to show the world that I am back and in charge of my life.

That being said, just remember, it’s what is inside that counts (no romo).

A Sad Day in Show Biz “Bea Arthur”

Beatrice Arthur played one of my FAVORITE women in all sitcoms…

DOROTHY ZBORNAK from THE GOLDEN GIRLS

she’ll be deeply missed. no matter how old that show was, it was great to watch. in this household, we own a lot of seasons and i’m proud to say that we watch them.

from wikipedia.com:

Beatrice “Bea” Arthur (May 13, 1922 – April 25, 2009) was an American comedienne, actress, and singer. In a career spanning seven decades, Arthur achieved success as the title character, Maude Findlay, on the 1970s sitcom Maude, and as Dorothy Zbornak on the 1980s sitcom The Golden Girls; she won Emmys for both roles.

Beatrice Arthur

from the Associated Press:

Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows “Maude” and “The Golden Girls” and who won a Tony Award for the musical “Mame,” died Saturday. She was 86.

Arthur died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She had cancer, Watt said, declining to give further details.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

amazing movie. if you haven’t watched it, i suggest you watch it. acting is AMAZING.

plot summary from imdb.com

“McMurphy, a man with several assault convictions to his name, finds himself in jail once again. This time, the charge is statutory rape when it turns out that his girlfriend had lied about being eighteen, and was, in fact, fifteen (or, as McMurphy puts it, “fifteen going on thirty-five”). Rather than spend his time in jail, he convinces the guards that he’s crazy enough to need psychiatric care and is sent to a hospital. He fits in frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause some of the patients to progress. Nurse Ratched becomes his personal cross to bear as his resistance to the hospital routine gets on her nerves.”

winner of 5 academy awards including:

Best Picture and Best Actor

if you haven’t watched it, WATCH IT.

CHYEAH!

Just got back from the doctor’s office. found out i have sinus problems. My ears are water-logged because of my sinuses. My tonsils are more red than a lobster’s back. I keep coughing up phlegm and it just seems never ending.

SO I RODE THE RUCKUS TO PICK UP MY PRESCRIPTIONS (Rx). Super sick ride. Only 5 Minutes away but hey, it was legit. Strapped up in my LRG boardshorts (I’ve never seen them before), my LRG “True Head” fitted and my LRG “Tree Transporter” (yellow) Tee. Fresh to death. Rocked my Nike SB 6.0s with Space Invader rears. Stupid sick outfit i had going on. Rucked it to CVS and picked up my AMOXICILLIN (amoxicillin is an antibiotic taken to fight infections) and my SUDAFED (for my sinuses). Crazy sick shit. Looking forward to this week. I wanna hit up the beach. Anyone down? i’m free tuesday after 4pm and wednesday all day except for the hours between 1-3p as i will be researching my patient at my clinical site.

my homegirl LILY parted the day with this good quote:

“Stress can leave your immune system to shit”

so word to the wise, stop being so depressed and do work.

I don’t know how this works

but the past couple days, a lot of us nursing students have been asking ourselves, “why are we here at nursing school?” which is a totally legitimate question. We’ve been feeling this way because some of us have found loopholes in the way our school teaches/runs itself. if you’re getting into this unnamed school, i think it’s best you ask yourself if it’s right for you.

here’s how me and a couple of other students are feeling:

-since this school is sooo fast paced, it’s hard to retain some of the knowledge.

-we have MED-SURG and PHARMACOLOGY on the same day. each are 3+ hour classes so it’s hard to be ready for both classes…especially if we have tests in each class (which there is in a couple weeks).

-they recently switched to semester when the others and i joined the program so we were kind of like the guinea pigs.

so on the guinea pig situation, the way they used to do it before us was “quarters” instead of “semesters”. so they tried to employ some new “studying habits” if you will. for example, the quarter system had gone through their general education classes (GEs or GenEds) first and THEN they did their nursing classes which seems so much easier than the semester system. The semester system switched to have GE classes AND nursing classes all at the same time. screwed up. The quarter students were saying how their nursing classes were worse than the semester and they probably speak “la verdad” (as michael says) because some are retaking classes with the semester system and are scoring scores that others would DREAM for. 80s and 90s on tests. amazing. then about 50% of the classes are failing in either one or the other MED-SURG or PHARM(acology) classes. for me, i’m failing both because of one screwed up test in MEDSURG.

it’s hard to maintain both but i can only blame myself. others can do it. why can’t i? so i’ll leave that up to others to judge.
