NEW ADVENTURES

HELLO ALL!!! WELCOME BACK. SO THIS IS MY FIRST POST OF BEING 30 YEARS OLD... HOW DO I FEEL, YOU ASK? NOT REALLY THAT MUCH DIFFERENT... PART OF ME FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING JUST KEPT ON GOING AND NOTHING CHANGED, WHILE THE OTHER PART OF ME FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED... I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY NOW. I JUST HAVE TO GROW MORE. JUST LIKE THAT 30 YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE. NOW MOVING FORWARD TO THE NEXT 5 OR 10 OR 30. DUE TO THIS, I REALIZE THAT I HAVE TO DO MORE... MORE I HAVE TO DO IN THE SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AND GOALS. THERE SO MUCH I WANT TO DO, AND IM FINALLY STARTING TO DO THEM. THERES GOALS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, GOALS FOR WORK, GOALS FOR LIFE, AND JUST GENERAL GOALS FOR MYSELF. SOME YOU COULD SAY IS MORE OF A BUCKET LIST OF THINGS I WANT TO DO. SINCE I AM 30 NOW... ITS A GOOD OF TIME AS ANY TO START CROSSING THINGS OFF. WHATS THE POINT IN WAITING ANY LONGER? JUST START DOING IT!!! IF AN OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF, TAKE IT. IF IT DOESNT, MAKE IT HAPPEN. ITS THE START OF A NEW AGE FOR ME, AND IM GOING TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT. ITS ONLY BEEN A DAY OR 2 SINCE TURNING 30 BUT LOTS HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED, AND I ONLY SEE MORE TO COME. SO IVE SAID IT BEFORE AND IL SAY IT AGAIN... NO PAIN, NO GAIN. LIVE WITH NO REGRETS, AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

HOW WAS MY BDAY YOU ASK? WELL, MY FRIENDS PLANNED DINNER FOR ME AND I DIDNT KNOW WHERE OR WHEN OR WHO WAS GOING TO BE THERE. BASICALLY I SHOWED UP AND THEY TOOK ME TO JOE FORTES AND IT WAS MY CLOSE GROUP OF FRIENDS. ITS WAS A NICE SURPRISE. ATE AND THEN SOME GOT ME SOME PRESENTS THAT I REALLY DIDNT EXPECT!!! IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU WILL KNOW THAT I LIKE GUNDAM, AND MY FAVOURITE GUNDAM SERIES IS GUNDAM WING, AND THE FAVOURITE GUNDAM IS WING ZERO!!! SO THE ONE MODEL THAT IS LIKE THE HOLY GRAIL, IS THE WING GUNDAM ZERO CUSTOM - PERFECT GRADE. ITS HUGE AND ITS AWESOME AND MY FRIEND ACTUALLY GOT ME IT!!! I ALSO GOT A SHIRT. DID I MENTION SOME OF MY FRIENDS ENDED UP GETTING ME A SAMSUNG GALAXY S7!?!?!?!?! HOLY CRAP!!! TOTALLY SURPISED ABOUT THAT ONE. ESPECIALLY SINCE I DIDNT REALLY MENTION I NEEDED A NEW PHONE. IT WAS MOST DEFINTIVELY A SURPRISE. THEY ARE PRETTY AWESOME :) I ALSO GOT A GOKU SAIYAN GOD SUPER SAIYAN FIGURE FROM MY COUSIN. OH AND I GOT SOME SOCCER TICKETS AS WELL FROM OTHERS. LETS JUST SAY IT WAS QUITE SPECTACULAR :) THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

OH ALSO DID HAVE FAMILY DIM SUM AND DINNER, IT WAS NICE JUST CATCHING UP AND BASICALLY EVERYONE ASKING HOW I FEEL... THEN LOTS OF TALK ABOUT HOW LIFE IS AND THEN LOTS OF REMINISCING OF THE OLD DAYS. AHHH THE GOOD OLD DAYS HAHA.

I ACTUALLY WATCHED STAR TREK BEYOND LAST WEEK AND IT WAS OK... I FELT THERE WASNT ENOUGH FIGHTING. THE MOVIE WAS ALRIGHT BUT I JUST DONT KNOW. I JUST THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE. IT WAS MISSING SOMETHING AND I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. OVERALL AN OK MOVIE, DIDNT THINK MUCH OF IT, SO I WOULD GIVE IT A 6.67/10.

I JUST WATCHED SUICIDE SQUAD LAST NIGHT AND I PERSONALLY LIKED IT VERY MUCH. LOTS OF ACTION, JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF BACKSTORY, SOME TIE INS TO OTHER SERIES, AND ACTORS WERE PRETTY GOOD. IM ALSO A FAN OF WILL SMITH SO THAT HELPS, AND THE MOVIE LARGELY CIRCLED HIM I WOULD SAY. THE OTHER ACTORS WERE GOOD TOO. MARGOT ROBBIE WAS HOT, JARED LETO WAS INTERESTING, I THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE HAD A BIGGER ROLE BUT IT WASNT REALLY ABOUT HIM. THE REST  WAS PRETTY GOOD TOO. DONT REALLY KNOW WHY THEY HAD CAPTAIN BOOMERANG IN THERE... THEY REALLY COULD HAVE HAD ANYONE ELSE BUT WHATEVER. ALL IN ALL... I WOULD GIVE IT A SOLID 7.98-8.32/10. YA ITS A RANGE CAUSE I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. ITS GOOD BUT PARTS MEH AND ITS FUNNY BUT PARTS MEH HAHA.

WELL, ITS BEEN GOOD SO FAR. FEELING GOOD AND JUST GOING TO HAVE TO SEE WHATS NEXT. ITS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE. SO STAYED TUNED!!!

THE LAST POST OF MY 20'S

WOW... JUST WOW... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE THE VERY LAST POST OF MY 20'S... IM TURNING 30 IN A MATTER OF DAYS AND AND ONCE I HIT THAT MARK, ITS GOING TO BE A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME... I CANT BELIEVE ANOTHER DECADE HAS PASSED BY AND IM GOING TO ENTER A NEW CATEGORY... IT STILL REALLY HASNT HIT ME YET, OR MAYBE IT HASNT SUNK IN YET, BUT I DONT THINK IT WOULD AFFECT ME THAT MUCH. I MEAN, EVERYTHING IS THE SAME BUT THE MAJOR THING NOW IS, WHEN I SAY MY AGE THERES NO "TWENTY" INFRONT OF IT. NOW ITS A "THIRTY." TO ME IT FEELS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY, BUT EVERYONE WILL MAKE A BIG DEAL OF IT. THERS SO MUCH I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT THIS BUT IM TIRED... LETS SEE HOW FAR I GET BEFORE I PASS OUT LOL. LOOKING BACK, THE PAST 10 YEARS REALLY WENT BY QUITE FAST. IT REALLY DID SEEM LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I WAS STILL IN CLASS AT LANGARA AND SFU. OR IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I STARTED A REAL JOB... EVERYTHING SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY AT THIS POINT, PARTIALLY BECAUSE IT IS... BUT JUST BECAUSE IM FEELING NOSTALGIC. FORGET ABOUT TURNING 30... THIS BLOG ITSELF IS ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD... THINKING ABOUT, IVE BEEN BLOGGING FOR ALMOST HALF A DECADE... TIME REALLY DOES FLY. LOOKING BACK, IM REALLY NOT THAT SAME PERSON I WAS 10 YEARS AGO. IVE GROWN (OBVIOUSLY) AND CHANGED IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, AND IVE LEARNED A LOT IN MY 30 YEARS ON EARTH, MUCH IVE LEARNED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. FORGET ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LEARN IN ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL. THAT STUFF IS CHILDS PLAY AND EVERYONE GOES THROUGH IT. IM TALKING ABOUT LIFE LESSONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. INSTEAD OF JUST TELLING YOU WHAT IVE DONE, WHICH I ALREADY DO ON THIS BLOG, IM GOING TO TELL YOU SOME OF THE THINGS IVE LEARNED THE PAST 10 YEARS. I TRULY BELIEVE IN THEM AND IVE WRITTEN ABOUT SOME OF THEM IN THE PAST, BUT HERE IT IS, MY LIFE LESSONS THAT I HAVE LEARNED THE PAST 10 YEARS (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER):

1. PATIENCE / GIVING A FUCK

LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT AND GIVE A FUCK, WHILE AT OTHER TIMES PATIENCE DOESNT EXIST AND YOU REALLY DONT GIVE A FUCK. I THINK BECAUSE OF LIFE AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH, IM A MORE PATIENT MAN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IM LESS PATIENT WHEN IT COMES TO BULLSHIT. YOU JUST HAVE TO READ THE SITUATION, AND WHEN YOU NEED TO, CARE ABOUT IT. WHEN YOU DONT, THEN DONT EVEN BOTHER. A LOT OF TIME ITS JUST A BIG WASTE OF EFFORT AND ENERGY, SO JUST DONT EVEN BOTHER. YOU WILL BE HAPPIER FOR HAVING DONE SO. TIME IS MONEY!!!

2. NOT ENOUGH TIME

FUNNY HOW THAT LEAD INTO THIS. ITS TRUE, YOU REALLY NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME. I ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO DO, BUT NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR IT. BY THE TIME I WANT TO DO IT, EITHER ITS TOO LATE OR IT JUST DOESNT WORK. BETWEEN SLEEPING, EATING, WORKING, AND WHATEVER ELSE, THERE REALLY ISNT ENOUGH HOURS IN A DAY TO DO WHAT ELSE YOU WANT TO DO. SO USE YOUR TIME WISELY. 

3. ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN / GOAL

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PLAN... SORTA... I KNEW WHAT I WANTED TO DO AND PLANNED FOR IT. WE ALL KNOW THAT PLANS RARELY WORK OUT THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO. YOU ALWAYS NEED A PLAN, IF YOUR PLAN DOESNT SUCCEED THE FIRST TIME, THEN TRY TRY TRY AGAIN. ITS SIMILAR TO THE ROADS POST, WHERE LIFE HAS MANY PATHS FOR YOU TO TAKE. JUST BECAUSE ONE PATH DOESNT WORK OTU, DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD GIVE UP. ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP PLAN. ALWAYS HAVE SOME SORT OF GOAL, SOMETHING LIKE A FINISH LINE. NEVER STOP GROWING AND IMPROVING. HAVING THAT GOAL MOTIVATES YOU, MAKES YOU DETERMINED TO KEEP GOING, IT PUSHES YOU TO DO BETTER AND BE BETTER. ALWAYS STRIVE FOR MORE, NEVER SETTLE.

4. LOVE / RELATIONSHIP

YOU CANT FORCE THESE THINGS, WHEN ITS RIGHT AND WORKS, IT WORKS. WHEN ITS WRONG, THEN IT JUST WONT WORK NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WANT IT TO. PEOPLE DO STUPID THINGS IN THEM... JUST DO YOUR PART AND IF IT DOESNT WORK OUT, AT LEAST YOU KNOW THAT YOU DID ALL YOU CAN AND IT JUST WASNT MEANT TO BE. YOU REALLY GET WHAT YOU PUT IN. NEVER DESTROY OR BURN BRIDGES, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHO AND WHEN YOU WILL NEED THEIR HELP.

5. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

DO WHAT MAKE YOU HAPPY. IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING THEN DO IT, WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK, ITS YOUR LIFE SO LIVE IT THE WAY YOU WANT. DO THE THINGS YOU WANT. BE THE WAY YOU WANT. YOU WILL NEVER MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY, SO HONESTLY WHY BOTHER... MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY, BECAUSE IN THE END ITS ALL ABOUT YOURSELF ANYWAYS.

6. IT WILL ALL WORK OUT... SOMEHOW

STOP WORRYING!!! WHATEVER YOUR PROBLEM IS, IN THE END, SOMEHOW... EVENTUALLY... INEVITABLY... IT WILL ALL WORK OUT. THE UNIVERSE SOMEHOW ALWAYS DOES. JUST LOOK AT ME!!! EVERYTHING SOMEHOW ENDED UP ALRIGHT. IT MIGHT SEEM TOUGH RIGHT NOW, AND THERES NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, BUT JUST KEEP GOING, NEVER GIVE UP, I MADE IT AND SO WILL YOU.

7. MOTTOS - "NO PAIN, NO GAIN" "LIVE WITH NO REGRETS" "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON"

THESE ARE WHAT I LIVE BY. SOME TIE INTO OTHERS BUT STILL HAVE TO SAY IT. NOTHING EVER WORTH DOING WAS EASY... IF IT WAS THEN EVERYONE WOULD BE DOING IT AND THEN WHAT WOULD THE POINT BE... THATS WHY IF ITS WORTH IT, THEN DO IT. PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY. LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR REGRETS, SO JUST GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND DO IT. SURE I PROBABLY HAVE A FEW, BUT MOSTLY I DONT HAVE ANY. IVE DONE WHAT I WANTED, WHEN I WANTED. IN LIFE YOU REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, OR WHY SOMETHING HAPPENS. IN THE WHOLE SCHEME OF THINGS EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. YOU MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND IT, OR WANT IT, OR EVEN AGREE WITH IT, BUT IT ALL HAPPENS FOR A REASON. IT WILL BECOME CLEAR SOONER OR LATER. 

THERE IS A TON OF OTHER THINGS I COULD WRITE ABOUT BUT I HONESTLY THINK THESE ARE THE TOP ONES. IVE LEARNED A LOT AND CHANGED A LOT IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. NOW THINKING ABOUT IT, I WONDER WHAT THE NEXT 10 WILL BE LIKE. IT SEEMS LIKE A FAR AWAY DREAM RIGHT NOW, BUT WHEN I WAS 20... SO WAS 30... AND THAT CAME IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. 

MY ORIGINAL DUE DATE THAT I GAVE MYSELF OF 1 YEAR IS BASICALLY UP. I DID A LOT TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, BUT IT JUST WASNT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME. I HAD A FEW SET BACKS BUT THESE ARENT EXCUSE. IM STILL PLANNING TO CONTINUE THAT GOAL, BUT INSTEAD OF A YEAR ITS LOOKING MORE LIKE 2 OR 3 YEARS TO ACHIEVE. 

COME TO THINK OF IT... A LARGE PORTION OF MY 20'S I WAS STILL IN SOME KIND OF SCHOOL. IT WAS ONLY THE LATER HALF OF MY 20'S THAT I STARTED WORKING. MY 20'S I MET PEOPLE, I LOST PEOPLE, I GAINED PEOPLE, AND I FORGOT ABOUT PEOPLE. I TRAVELLED, I PLAYED, I ATE, AND I ENJOYED. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF, ABOUT WHAT IM MADE OF, WHAT IM CAPABLE OF, AND WHAT I TRULY THOUGHT AND FELT. IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN WOULD IT? I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE CHANGED A FEW THINGS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART... I AM THE WAY I AM NOW, AND I AM WHO I AM BECAUSE OF IT ALL, SO IM GOING TO SAY NO. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I AM SUPPOSE TO BE. 

I REALLY WONDER WHATS IN STORE FOR ME IN MY 30'S... THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. I GUESS IL LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW IT FEELS NEXT WEEK. 

GOODBYE TO MY 20'S. SEE YOU ALL IN MY 30'S
