Yay, I’m 24 years old

Well, its pass midnight and my birthday has passed. I had a great dinner and a ton of friends showed up. Tonight was extremely fun and Saturday would be even better. Thanks guys for coming tonight. See everyone on Saturday!

It’s my Birthday!!!

Well, in about an hour it will be my birthday. Wow, I’m going to be 24. How exciting… OK, maybe not. For all my friends I’m having a birthday dinner at BJs restuarant, the one located at Oakridge Mall. I have a large table for a party of 30 reserved at 8pm, so all you guys should be there by that time or earlier.

I’m going to do a long bike ride tomorrow morning, so I’m going to get to bed early and get to rest, hope to see everyone there tomorrow.

Uh Oh! I got tickets for the Fall Out Boy concert on April 5, at the SJSU Event Center. If you’re extra nice to me you might get to go 😀

Let’s Rumble… (Backyard Boxing)

After a few drinks at the bowling alley a friend of mine decided he could take me out on a fight. It’s not until a week later that we made the fight happen. Here’s a clip of our fight. (It’s a short clip).

Update: This has been moved an extended version will be posted shortly.

Annapolis

annapolis

January is not a popular month for movies as all the big releases are usually set around the Holiday season. Annapolis isn’t much of a military movie, but a military school movie. James Franco plays a young man who gets accepted to Annapolis, a Naval Academy. No one believes in him and expects him to fail. The story is definately not original and everyone will know the outcome. Annapolis involves Franco joining a boxing tournement in the Academy. At times it seems more like a Rocky movie. Franco has a love interest in the movie, but it never materializes. I wouldn’t say this is a romantic movie, an inspirational movie, or even a sports movie. It falls somewhere between, ‘I only saw this because there was nothing else’ movie.

Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

How to lose weight and keep it off (Part 3)

It’s finally here, Part 3. Motivation is just as equally as important as dieting and exercise. It doesn’t matter if you’re capable of doing the exercises and being able to put up with those tasteless low calorie meals, it’s about actually doing it and to continue to do it. Everyone has their own way of motivating themselves to lose weight. I have a friend who watches workout videos when she’s feels lazy and tired. After a few minutes of watching the video it makes it easier for her to get into her workout clothes and head to the gym or go outside for a run. Sometimes looking at yourself in the mirror can help motivate or looking at pictures of people/models who has the type of physique you’re looking to obtain.

Personally, I keep a log of my weight every morning when I wake up. If I feel a little heavy I make my workout for the day a little tougher. If I’m lighter, then the workout is not so tough. The best motivator is seeing results. That’s why keeping a log is very helpful. And seeing physical results is even better. Why do you think there are so many mirrors at a gym?

Here are some ways to help you stay on the fitness path:

-Get a workout partner, preferably someone with the same goals.
-Have a variety in your workouts as well as your foods.
-Keep a picture of your over-weight self somewhere to look at.
-Talk to someone about your dieting and workouts. Just having a plain old conversation about it can be very motivating.
-Get new workout clothes. There’s nothing better than to tryout and show off your new gear.
-Visualize. Keep a mental picture of yourself being super fit.

Hope these tips help. Just remember everyone has their own way to stay motivated. It just takes a bit of enginuity and some time to figure it out.

The RC51

I’ve decided to sell my RC51. It’s the one you see me riding on the top image of this website. My brother crashed my bike over last summer. I could fix it myself, but I just don’t have the time. I hate to sell it. It’s like selling one of your kids. Here is my craigslist listing:

I’ve already gotten several e-mails within hours of the posted listing. If anyone is interest please respond to the listing.

Update: In the end I decided not to sell it. So my brother now rides it.
