Ha! I told ya!

See, I CAN update on time. Oh yeah! Time for a victory lap around the house!

*Gasping for breath* Whoo... that's tiring. Well, now back to business. As usual, my life has been very how you say... good. See, not only did I have lots of fun yesterday, but I had lots of fun today. Actually, yesterday was really good (probably because I was too lazy to get up to run -_-;), and that was before I went to sleep over at Charlie's house.

Yeah, well, yesterday started off with the not going to run. I was dead tired (I don't really know why, I didn't do anything tiring the day before) and I just turned off my alarm and kept sleeping. So, I got up about an hour and a half later than I would have if I went running. I instantly went to play FFX and played for a good bit. I actually got to right before Yunalesca (I beat her today ^_^). Yep, pretty soon it'll be time to overlevel like crazy in the Omega Ruins and then go kill Sin in three hits.

So, the day passed by and I was happy. Then, around 1:30, the doorbel rang. I went to get it, and there on the steps was a package containing what I obviously guessed was Gladius (run-on sentence or something? whatever...). Well, I WAS gonna play it right then and there, but I didn't. I decided that I'd rather do something more productive, like actually continuing the game that I currently was playing (FFX :P). So, I did that.

GAH! Why won't anybody I ask buy me a gerbil for my b-day? It's not like it's that hard ^_^

Ok, after that Charlie had invited me to go to his house, so I went and brought along Gladius with me. I got there and we did some crap (wow, aren't I descriptive) and then went to play Gladius (Muahahahahahaha!). We played for about 4 hours that night. This morning we played for another 4 ^_^. Fun game ain't it?

Again, I didn't run this morning. Probably because we went to bed at 2 and I was tired like... real tired... Heh, then my mom calls me at 8 in the morning to tell me some stuff. I was half asleep, so I don't really remember what she said >.>;; We still did get to do some excercise, though. It took a while, but we finally got to go out and ride our bikes all around Ashburn. Then when we came back I decided to go home. There, I quickly (not really) beat the crap out of Yunalesca and from there on it's pretty much now. There on= dad getting home and me helping him take out lots of stone slabs from the back of his car into the garage ^^;

Ok, that's it. So, besides the quick delivery of a new game and the strategy guide that's supposed to get here tomorrow, nothing has really happened (of course there's also all that other stuff that you just read about, but that's just details ^^). Well, I'm out. I'll see you all later. Have fun, and stay gerbil!

Now Updating Mondays and Thursdays!!!

Ok, some may ask, why I decided to change the days that I update. Well, the reason is: I'm not. I'm just kidding. Still updating Wednesdays and Sundays (even though it might not look like it ^^;;).

Wow... so much to tell. Where to begin... at the beginning! Wait, it all pretty much happened the same day >.<; Whatever, I'll start wherever my keyboard leads me!

So, a few days ago (Friday to be exact) my mom came home saying that she had a surprise. Surprise turns out to be that we won a contest for filling out a survey. We won grand prize: a gift certificate for Best Buy worth $500 (insert holy choir singing)!!! Yeah, it's really spiffy and all, but there's one problem... my dad's spending it on a digital camera >.>;. Bright side is that my parents are going to get my a metal pad for my B-day ^_^, and that my dad gave me a $50 coupon for Amazon.com (he better have! I was the one that filled out the survey!)! So, what do I do with this unexpected money you ask? Why, buy games of course. I was able to spread $50 to buy myself two games and a strategy guide ^^ (smart shopping eh? No. Now I will never say that again).

Ok, the two games were Gladius (oh what a great game that me and Alex shall enjoy playing) and Final Fantasy Tactics (not two player, but still a bundle of fun). Yeah, so, I'll be busy playing a lot of PS2 soon ^_^. Problem is that I need a TV to play it on (a good one, the one I have atm is smaller than my computer screen and like 15 years old). Oh well, I can overlook that. The strategy guide that I got is for Gladius (why not?). So, I get to tuck in and play.

Well, the running's going pretty good. On Friday I started running 30 minutes everyday. I was able to run the full time (which is VERY good for me). Now I feel all special. I'm gonna keep running every weekday (I need sleep on weekends) and I hope that I get better. What I really hope is that this helps me develop the endurance that I need for those hard DDR songs (^_^, one track mind).

That's about it. Now, I PROMISE that I will TRY to update on time. You really can't get anything better than that from me (especially since I'm going to Charlie's house that day). I'm done for now, check back often to read some more about me and my life!

PS: Damnit! I want a gerbil now!

Hey look! It's that guy! Who flies that plane!

I'm back!!! *applause* Thank you, thank you. I really missed all of you. You all are a great crowd.

Ok, back on track. I'm sorry for not updating while I was gone, but Ricardo has 56k and there were so many other things to do! I even got to go DDR ^_^

Ok, main things we did: Zelda, Gladius, Phantasy Star Online (Offline)

It was great. I had more fun than if you strapped a buffalo to a train and watched it speed away into the distan-- wait... that's not fun... well, you get the point. He showed me the game Gladius first. It's SO much fun. Especially the fact that it's two player, up to four. It's a game about gladiators (duh), but the fun spin was that it was an RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre (both games that I love). So much fun. You can FULLY customize every single gladiator that you have on your team. It was so much fun that at least 3 times we played it 6 hours straight before playing another game.

Second, was the Legend of Zelda. Which one you ask? Why, Ocarina of Time! Everyone says that it's the best one, and in my opinion, it is. I mean, it's only the game that's sold the most all around the world, but let's not let a little thing like that get in the way of our judgement ^_^

But seriously. I've never fully beaten that game before. I've played it many times, and I love the game. I know the WHOLE game like the back of my hand. I played on Ricardo's game (he was at the Water Temple) and beat it. It was much fun ^^

Then, there was Phantasy Star Online. Now, this game is fun. We played it offline however becasue first, he didn't have the adapter for online play, second, he wouldn't pay the money to play it online anyways. I really wish he did though. I can tell that online it would own so much that my eyes would fall out by the sheer number of hours we played it... ^^;;

Well... that just about sums up what we did. Oh, we also played Dragon Court. He started playing again, and I just decided to do it since it takes about 10 minutes to play everyday and is pretty damn fun for being free.

Ok, that IS about it. There's nothing left to say. Which is good, because for once I ranted and I enjoyed it. Plus I did it fast enough to still have other things to do. Ooh! I have one little bit of good news left... I just saved a load of money on my car insurance by switching to Gieco! :P

Cya ^_^

PS: Buy all our playsets and toys!

Woo Hoo!!!

*dances*

Oh yeah, good times. I'm still in my pretty much happy-go-lucky mood. I don't know when I became happy... but it's a rare thing, so I'm enjoying it! I'm having too much fun this summer. I mean, besides the running, the other running, and the running, I can do whatever I want (oh yeah, and besides the summer work for school...).

Yep, I'm pretty psyched (hehe, fun word) about going to Puerto Rico. I haven't been there for quite some time. Lemme see... *counts on fingers* Almost... uh... a year and a half? Yeah, that sounds right ^^. Too bad that I didn't get to visit Ricardo when I went last time, but we didn't have time. Me and my family did lots of stuff (I think?). Hehe, there are 26 locations in PR that have DDR ^^. That's only 5 less that in Virginia, and WAY smaller than it. I'm gonna break Rick's arm if he doesn't let me go. I'm gonna force him to play too. Give me one night and he shall be doing 5 footers.

Let's see... what else... W00t! I get to wath (yes, WATH) X! That's gonna be fun. But first I have to watch it... I hope that doesn't take too long...

Hmm... I think that's it... There's really nothing else going on... Oh, wait! I finally got my little letter for Cross Country. It pretty much tells me what I have to do to prepare for it, and also when it starts and all of that boring crap. On Friday though, I got to try out that little schedule for running. It's not that bad. I think that I'll actually be ready for Cross Country when it does start... three weeks before school... at 6:30 AM... >.<;

Oh well, I'll live. It's gonna be fun, with Sahil and James and Nick and whoever else is on the team (I'll look at the letter later). Ok, so I'm out. Don't worry, in PR I'll be able to update this. You'll actually get to see "live updates". Have fun ^_^

*Rocking back and forth* Gonna burn 'em all...

Grr! I'm not happy! This is the third time that I have to write this blog. First time was this morning, second was a few moments ago, and here we are. The first time I actually quit out of the window on accident, so it was actually my fault... This second time was Mozilla's fault! I'm sorry Firefox, you're a good program, but you crash too often (not as much as Internet Explorer at least ^^)!

Ok, so this morning I went running. That's always fun, get up early in the morning and the first thing you do is run... No breakfast or snack or anything ^^. I'm actually getting better at running now. I didn't know that running at least 3 times a week one mile at least would help so much... Even though it DOES seem kind of obvious >.<;

Haha! So I've been playing Pokemon, no wait... Pokémon. I can't believe that even after like... what, I don't know how many years, but a long time, it's still fun. I'm currently playing the Gameboy Advance version, Ruby. ROMs have always been fun, but with Pokémon, there's one thing that an emulator can't emulate... playing with other people... I really with that they would make an emulator that could play with other people over the net... They have one for Gameboy, why not Gameboy Advance?!? /cry

MAX 300! Oh sorry...

Whee! Guess what peoples?!? I'm going to Puerto Rico next week. Yep, that's right, you didn't hear wrong. I'll get to have lotsa (that can't be a word, but it's so much fun to use...) fun! It'll be cool. Hang out with Ricardo, hang out with his friends, steal his friends from him, kill him while he sle--- I, er, mean... yeah, fun stuff with Ricardo... *evil smile*

So... uh... *checks schedule* I guess I have to go, I'm really busy... *crickets in background* Yeah, I'm gonna go do something productive... like leveling up in Pokémon ^^. Oh, and remember to stab MSN Messenger. While it is cool and all, it doesn't let me do cool symbols like ♪ or ₧!!!

Or this: ♫ ☼ ◄ ► ↕

See ya all later ^_^

Monday, July 05, 2004

Can you say Sunday? (Whatever that is...)

^^;; Well... I fell behind in the updating thing once more. I have a good excuse this time! (You can't blame me, I don't have FFXI anymore!) You see, my family and I went to this cook-out thingy at my sister's friend's house. Yeah, so we were there till late and I didn't get to update becasue of getting up early for running and it sorta goes on like that.

So yesterday was the fourth of July thing. The cook-out was... well... let's just say that it wasn't as fun as partying with n00bs in FFXI. I tried to invite anybody that I could (then it wouldn't have been so utterly terrible to withstand...). Alex was too "sick" to go. Sahil was "busy"... and James had family "bonding" to do... So, I went alone... We did all of the usual boring stuff. Sit around and talk (talking did not involve me in any fun way whatsoever...), eat, watch fireworks, and do other random stuff that American families do to celebrate the day of Independence.

Wow, it sometimes hurts to laugh so hard... The crazy conversations that I love to have with people (mostly James o.O). Yep... so... It's just me sitting here... Being bored... Well, not really, I just can't focus on writing.

Meh... life's creul twists are only made worth it by the fortuitous ones that happen...

Yeah, well, I found a new craze to myself. Called FFX!!! Yeah, stop playing one, start playing another Final Fantasy. I love the game. It really is fun, because I just imported all of the Al Bhed Primers that I had in my old game (being all of them ;P) and now I fully understand what everyone is saying. There are some plot holes that are kinda weird when you PERFECTLY understand Al Bhed, but I don't really care. I can't wait to get to the end and become all super godly powerful ^^. Lalalala.

You know (probably not), I'm actually kind of tired. I feel really pansy right now... I'm so out of it... I haven't played DDR in so long. I really need my metal pad, but birthday is so far away... I'll just have to live it out. Hopefully I can get everyone to the arcade sometime so that I don't stab out my eyes in the lacking of dancing-ness...steth...

Okay, well, I think I'm done. I'm already like 24 hours behind on this thing, so the faster I publish, the faster it'll be... uh... published... Well, I'll talk to you all on Wednesday ^_^.

PS: Yes! You heard right! Wednesday, it will not be on Thursday (I think >.>;)
