Term results just came out a few minutes ago. One supplementary exam. It sucks to know that I'll have to spend the rest of the holidays studying for a stupid subject. Being in a pissy mood then dad has to add fuel to the fuckin fire by nagging about shit. I gotta suppress what I feel right now and it aint easy. I feel so fucked up. So shitty and pissy. I could kill someone right now and when one just comes talking crap in front of me I could fucking beat the hell out of him right now. But not when his sperm contributed to my existence. In which case, I'd have to sit back and counter attack with my vast vocab. I sound murderously close to a psychopath serial killer. Sorry to disappoint you. I prefer to workout by jogging and weight training to let go of the gas. I usually feel so much better after that and I feel like I can make clearer decisions.
To do list before results:
- clear the room
- store room roof repair
- paint the treehouse
- practice for performance
- workout twice a day
To do list after results:
- study for supplementary exam
Supplementary exams will be on the 20th July. Wish me luck guys...
ps: dear, i'll do your tag later~ *hugs!
The blood-brain barrier is a layer of epithelial cells that line the capillaries. Alcohol floats right through this gatekeeper 30 seconds after entering the bloodstream, disrupting nerve-cell communication. This interference boosts your confidence, shortens your attention span, and makes you say stupid things. Four drinks in 1 hour and you have a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.08, the legal limit in most states.
It's the first stop for alcohol, with 20 percent of any drink entering the bloodstream here within 5 minutes by slipping between the stomach's mucus-producing epithelial cells. The fuller your stomach, the slower the squeeze. Alcohol also jumpstarts the production of hydrochloric acid, which can eat through the stomach's protective mucus. That's why chronic boozers suffer from heartburn, inflammation, ulcers, and bleeding.
After 20 minutes, the remaining 80 percent of alcohol arrives here and diffuses almost instantly into the blood, thanks to millions of microscopic fingers that carpet the intestinal lining. Alcohol blocks the absorption of water and sodium here, which is why a binge dehydrates you. Chronic imbibing interferes with enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, thus reducing uptake of vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids. That's why heavy drinkers are often undernourished.
Drink too much in one sitting and you won't be able to think straight below the waist, either. That's because alcohol deadens nerve cells all over the body--the "atten-hut" command gets lost in transit. Also, eight of 10 problem drinkers suffer from chronic erectile dysfunction: A three-drinks-a-day habit causes high blood pressure, restricting bloodflow to the penis, and chronic boozing reduces testosterone production.
It's true that, in certain cases, moderate doses of alcohol may help keep the heart and its arteries clear--one or two drinks a day raises plaque-scavenging HDL cholesterol, softens artery walls, and makes blood cells less likely to clot. Heavier drinking, however, narrows the blood vessels and raises blood pressure, forcing the heart to pump harder. It also can short-circuit the electrical signals, causing an arrhythmia. Ultimately, alcohol abuse damages heart muscle, causing it to pump less efficiently. This can lead to heart failure.
It eventually breaks down 90 percent of blood alcohol, starting to scrub within 10 minutes of your first sip. Blood absorbs alcohol much faster than the liver can eliminate it, which is why it takes an hour for the effects of each drink to wear off. Heavy drinking creates excess free radicals and collagen, a building block of scar tissue. Both crowd out or kill off healthy liver cells.
About 5 percent of blood alcohol quickly diffuses into the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. The alveoli warm the liquid alcohol, turning it into a vapor that's exhaled--which is how Breath- alyzers measure blood-alcohol levels. Long-term alcohol abuse depletes an important antioxidant in the lungs, leaving them vulnerable to permanent, life-threatening damage from pneumonia, sepsis, and other infections.
Exams are back and I'm ever so excited to get it over with. I will be back to VoXing on the 16th. Many plans for after the exams and this time, I will make it a point accomplish my plans!
Wish me luck people~!

There's something about the look in your eyes
Something I noticed when the light was just right
It reminded me twice that I was alive
And it reminded me that you're so worth the fight
House is being repainted. Car is being repainted. Computer just got repaired yesterday. Stayin in my house without a car and computer takes away a really large portion of my life... Spent time cleaning the room (for the millionth fuckin time) and I hope its good enough now. Mom offered me 50 bucks if I can keep it clean...
My biggest fear will be the rescue of me
Strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear
Something I've not seen
Something infinitely interesting
But I didn't do it for the money. I swear! Cross my ass and hope to live~
There's something about the way you move
I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing
More subtle than something, someone contrives
Your movements echo that I have seen the real thing
Well.. maybe just a tiny bit. Dire need of financial support right now. Finding out MIL wants a rich SIL is bad enough!
Your biggest fear will be the rescue of you
Strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear
Something I've not seen
Something infinitely interesting
Just love chilling at the beach. Breathing in the salty breeze... The wind becomes my lullaby... and I never want to part with the sea... Thanks to my gramps. He passed his captivation of the sea down to me. Love the old man. Can't deny that I'm a lil emo and mellow today...
Have always been reading articles from Animalpak.com. Its been 3 years now and I have been saving up articles from that website. I think its really good motivation for everyone in all walks of life. No-bullshit-self-empowerment-motivation-words-of-wisdom.
Excerpt from Animalpak.com:
Did you ever notice that sometimes to accomplish things that are very difficult we need to do things we don’t like? Sometimes we even hate the things we must do. If we accept the tedious tasks before us that lead to accomplishment in all fields, we stand to reap the rewards that come with success and victory. This is no small coincidence. In fact, it’s the basis for the competitive social model that we are indoctrinated into from our first steps across the living room floor.
We are taught to compete in classrooms, playgrounds and on ballfields all across this country. We are told that to win or to succeed we need to work hard and sacrifice, we need to train our minds and our bodies so that we may apply all of our training and mental powers to the pursuit of victory. We all do this to varying degrees. Over the years the concept of discipline and hard work through dedication and sacrifice have gone out of style in the mainstream, so to speak. However success and power and wealth have remained very much in style. No surprise there.
The troubling thing I see in every pursuit, including bodybuilding, is an overriding idea that one can succeed through shortcuts or half-hearted measures and tactics. The thing that is screwing up the works is simple confidence. I do not like the word or what it means. I think confidence will fool you every time, it will destroy your ambitions and desires. It will leave you only with disappointment and regret.
Think about it, remember back when you were a kid. Dad tells you, “Get out there and kick some ass… You better win son.” Then Mom smiles at you reassuringly and says, “You are a winner and you always will be no matter what happens.” No wonder we’re all fucked up. In the same moment we are told anything short of winning is not an option but even if we don’t win we are great and a champion no matter what. You can’t have it both ways.
You must do the work to receive the reward. But how when overconfidence sabotages all we endeavor to accomplish. Live as if no one can see you. Speak as if no one can hear you. Listen only when you hear the truth. Thirst for the work more than you desire the reward. Stop indulging in the folly of overconfidence or it will be your ruin.
Competition in all its forms is good. It propels us onward even though we are clumsy and unprepared for its rewards. We must remember that confidence kills. It will rob you of your desire and cheat you out of future victories and success. The ones who stay successful are those who realize the hunt is never over. One touchdown or one hundred touchdowns are the same thing if you don’t value the work.
That statement is appropriate especially in our pursuit because the definitions for success are so warped and limiting in nature. That is why I preach success in work as defining concept and not the empty belief that a little work will bring a great reward. If you thirst for and value the work, then no one can rob you of a victory. No man is worthy to judge you. You will know no defeat and you will never fall victim to confidence.
Love this shit...
Tapai (ta-pa-eye) - Fermented rice delicacy. Bought plenty of this during the weekly visit to the night market.
Eaten chilled, this healthy food can easily substitute as a dessert for ice cream or even wine.
Texture is like soggy wet rice with a thick alcoholic aroma.Very sweet...
And no, you dont fuckin eat the whole thing with its leaves. You gotta peel the leaves to expose the white soft, alcoholic rice underneath.
A bit like rice + sweet white wine!
There ya go~
Food for the gods...
