more random stuff...

one headache over. my dad finally stopped bugging me about me taking the real estate exam. he thought i pussied out and that i was afraid of failing it. he thought wrong, so now he shut up and gave me back my freedom. little did he know that in only a combined total of 10 hours of studying, i passed it and i even forgot to bring my calculator. after taking it, i am so sure that whoever takes it next WILL pass, in studying only 2 hours a day for 5 days, IF, he or she listens to what i say and what to study. i found the right formula to pass this stupid test without reading a single page out of the 500 page book and its not by cheating either.

the next headache comes and its physically receiving your license. first of all, i paid $200 for just the privilege to study the exam. the $200 came with a 500 page book, a stupid cassette tape that doesnt work, a ticket to a weekend crash course which i didnt even attend and 900 study questions. taking the exam costs $25 which only if you pass on the first try. after you pass the test, you have to pay $185 to the state. then, you need to get fingerprinted for $90 which takes 5 minutes. next, you gotta take this online bullshit course for $90 and finally they will send you your license good for only 4 years. TOTAL DAMAGE: $590. i hope ill even use this license for once.

communists. pure bullshit imo.

recently ive been talking to my friend about this. i noticed i havent had a cold or been sick since my stay at the hospital 2 years ago. which led me to think that after the 50% of blood i received from donors, the white blood cells that came along with it prolly had a lot of memory cells of various viruses. i mean think about it. the body has 6 quarts of blood and half is 3 quarts = 6 pints. so i had at least 6 kinds of blood in my body because a person is only allowed to donate 1 pint. 3 quarts is almost a gallon which makes me sick to think about. but hey, over my lifetime, ive donated over a gallon to the red cross, where in fact, i did it just to skip class. anyways, all that work paid off nicely. that would be so awesome if my reasoning is true.

random shits....

my mom finally threw in the towel...where she is officially retired. im really happy for her because she has sacrificed a lot for us being a nurse. she didnt become a nurse until the age of 45, by which that time, it is very hard to go back to school, but she did it for us and got her license. everytime she comes home from her long 12 hour graveyard shifts, she would be dead tired, suffering from of aches and pains, but never complaining because she has such empathy for each of her patients. she is an awesome nurse even from my perspective 2 years ago when she took care of me 15 hours/day for 3 straight months. she is a totally different person now completely free of stress.

couple weeks ago i walked into the gym with my old "walnut pride football" shirt and saw 2 high school students with "brea olinda football" jerseys. brea olinda and walnut high school are pretty much rival schools in terms of sports so as i walked in, they gave me this unwelcoming stare. in my mind, im like "wtf? i dont even look high school.", so i stare back at them. these guys werent the big defensive players, but looked athletic and toned. compared to me, i was about 2 inches taller and 15 pounds heavier. everytime, i did an exercise, they would seem like they were spying at me within a close distance, so i would fuck with them. ill go heavy on my workouts and make them wonder how a high school student can lift so heavy being asian too. recently they have been coming in more often and until last week, these guys finally loosened up and shook my hand. but they still think im in the walnut football team. haha punks
