Books

I've fallen behind in reading lately. I guess I haven't really had the time to start a new book. Hopefully, I will start sometime soon. Some books that I am looking forward to reading

  • What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures
  • SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
  • The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
  • Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking


Most of these as you can see are written by Malcolm Gladwell

Pay my teacher their dues!

http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1212995

Okay, so you don't usually see me here talking about my homie Nigel. Nigel was recently featured on the Boston Hearld. So of course this is big news! Congrats homie!

So, the article went on and talked about the recent controversy of teachers getting paid their dues. Our school is fortunate enough to have Exxon mobile partner up with our school to pay our teachers an extra 100 dollars for each student who pass the AP EXAM. Sounds good right? Well, I believe so but others don't. My friend Nigel agrees that they should get paid and so do I. But there are a tremendous amount of teachers who do not think they should get paid. I just think teachers who do not think they should get paid are just jealous. I even had a teacher tell me today that my teachers were considered "pimps". I just wanted to kill her right there because that is just disrespectful. Sure, the money could have went to the school but calling my teacher a pimp. That is just uncalled for!

I just cant keep my word.

So school, has been really tough on me lately. I started second term with mediocre grades and this college stuff is really aggravating me. Life has been really frustrating. I would come home feeling tired but I still continue to study and handle family business. I try to help my friends whenever they ask for help. Questions on tests, advice and all that crap. However what really frustrates me is whenever someone asks for help and I tell them what to do, they don't do it. Okay, that may seem kind of selfish but if they are telling me the same thing everyday and I give the same advice to them everyday it kind of frustrates me because it seems like I'm wasting my effort for no reason. I am not only talking about advice but suggestions to. I don't understand what is the point of me looking at things when you do not even take the comments seriously. I just feel like its a bunch of wasted effort. And then the way I get treat after all this is just terrible. I am about just to quit on them and not help at all. All a bunch of wasted effort.

Games

My brothers and I are starting to play a lot of videogames. Stephen is playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Roger is playing Dragaon Age and I am playing Final Fantasy IV on my iPhone. What is cool about it is that we all are playing on different types on consoles. Stephen is playing on a home console (Xbox 360), Roger is using his PC and I'm playing on my iPhone. I logged roughly around 6 hrs of gamplay in the past week which isn't too much. I thought it would be around 10 hrs by now. Actually, thats more like Roger. I swear that kid just stays in his room, watch anime and play Dragon Age. He will occasionally come out to watch television with us but only on Wednesday and Thursday. Stephen on the other hand has finally stopped talking about Fantasy Football and has a new obsession. He's probably logged 8 hrs by now! Thats a lot since he does have a girlfriend and a job. So I am like 1/3 done with Final Fantasy IV. Mostly because I usually level up on the bus and during APES class. Then at home I will go on and do the quest. So what do I plan on playing next? Well, I am probably going to start Final Fantasy V and VI, then I and II. After that I'll start the Golden Age series and alot more. I am planning to finish all of them right before the school year ends. Hopefully I will get this accomplished.

200

200th post already? Damn! I blog way too much.
It has almost been a year since I created this blog. I remember the dark days where I would just have a black background with some abstract banner. I sure changed my blog around alot this past year. I also started to blog more about my life as the year went on. I guess you can say this is a good thing but I kinda miss the days where I can blog whatever I want like music, games and news. Well I still do that but it just feels awkward. Well happy one year blog.

Lemonade

I've been getting a lot of headaches lately. Maybe I still haven't gotten used to day light savings. So to cure these headaches I would often drink a lot of water and take a lot of asprin or advil. But lately, I would just drink lemonade to cure these frequent headache. I try to use as little sugar as possible and it seems to work. My headaches are gone immediately. Thank god for lemon.

Headphones

I probably cycle through 6 or 7 headphones a year. Recently, my Coby CVE92 Isolation Stereo Earphones died. I hate when the left side always fail. Currently I'm using some iPod headphones which are not too bad but the thing about them is that they seem to break in really quickly. I probably cycled through 5 iPod headphones this year, 1 coby and 1 skull candy. Maybe I should save some money for some Shure SE110 Sound Isolating Earphone.

Life goes on

Last time I made a real entry was a while ago, so I'll give you an update what has been happening lately. The month of October flew by super fast! I can't even imagine that we only have to work our ass off in school for only 2 more months. Talking about school, it looks like I finally made it on the honor roll. THAT RIGHT, FINALLY ON THE HONOR ROLL! EAT THAT SPANISH II and III. The only class that kept me from the honor roll the past years. Beasted in most of my AP courses and my regular courses as well. Enough talking about school, lets talk about other things. Like Halloween? Did everyone have a nice Halloween? I sure did! Finally was able to spend some quality time with some buddies. Went to trick or treat with my friends at school and others! Had a blast but was uber tired after! Pictures are on facebook! Pretty much whats been happening with my life. I know, I make it sound so exciting even though it is actually pretty boring.

Weezer



Been listening to alot of Weezer lately. I love this song!

Otaku



Otaku,people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games. Yes, it is that time of the year again where I become an a total otaku. The new Fall Anime schedule is up and running and I love it. Last year's schedule kinda sucked so I didn't really catch anything new last year. Just watched some old stuff but this year there are a few things I am interested in. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun and Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Purezza. I love fall/winter anime!
