That's right I'm posting out of no where!  Take that!  Hehe, I'm a live and doing pretty well.  Life is good and I've randomly come up with some new cooking recipies.  They are completly random because I don't really know how to cook.... I just make things up and hopefully they taste good.  Somehow.... they do.  *shrug*  Hehe.  Btw, Vanilla Yogurt Pretzels and Nutella = Amazing.  That's really all I have to add today and I dont know what else for a while but I just felt like writing soemthing.  Be well all!

Other then I feel happy, there isn't much to say.  I'm studying once more to take my GMAT test again.  I didn't do horrible but I didn't do as well as I would have liked.  I also feel happy to say that I got my christmas present decisions (most of them) out of the way.  Now to finalize with a few friends.  

 I got Dani a nice Pool Cue for Christmas and she likes it!  Yes, I already gave it to her.  The reason was, well I am a push over.  That and once you get it, you got to use it!  Now, some of you might wonder why I got her a Pool Cue.  The reason, we first hung out together at a bar and played pool together.  :)  Its for that reason why i got it for her.  That and she plays pool really well and I thought a pool cue would be a good present for her.  =)

 I also got my bean bag chair in from SUMO.  Its the Sumo Sultan bean bag chair and let me tell you, its firm and awsome to sit/lounge in.  I have had a lot of fun watching movies in it and just relaxing.  Its a little harder then a normal bean bag chair that i've tried but that harder bit = firmer bit.  Which means I "sink" less and it feels so much more comfortable in my opinion.  

 This coming Thanksgiving .... will be the first time.... I have had a girlfriend over it in the last.... 5 years.  I think it's 5... which is kinda weird and kinda cool.  Its also weird because I get to meet a lot of Dani's parents and realtives soon... and let me tell you, i'm nervous!  I'm going to have to look my best.... Going to get a hair cut tonight just to make sure I look the part.  ;)  

 Some of you may not know this, but I am horrible at showing my emotions.  I'm funny on the outside but sometimes when it comes down to it.... its hard to just show how much i care for someone or sometimes i go overboard.  That's one of my weaknesses i guess.  So, please forgive me for any weird or uncomfortable things I might do via expressing my feelings.  *shrug* I try to do it without being "Akward" 

 Work is good, tough and fun.  I'm trying to stay focused because its important to me to keep my job.  Reason, I like it too much.  :)  Not just cause it pays the bills, but I dont think a lot of companies out there would keep challenging me like this company currently does.  =)  its fun and I can't really say I'm ever bored.  

 More to come later... when? heck if i know.

It's Offical, my old camera isn't broken... but it isn't working correctly anymore.  I've had it for three years and I got some sun screen on it.  Oh well, but this new camera.... ohh how I want it.  Only down side is that it's so darn expensive.  Well, there is always waiting till my birthday!  Yay!  Hrm.... or I can find a side job.. maybe work the corner a little... Hehehe, right like who would want that! 

Life is good, I take my GMAT test this coming Monday.  I'm a little nervous but that's to be expected.  I'll do fine I bet!

More later!

Life is good, Sister turned 28... jokingly told her she's half way to 56.  =) Feel the love sis!  hehe.  Amazingly wonderful girlfriend and work is good.  Studying to become a amazing GMAT test taker.  So Life is good.  

 More to come!

 

Anbon 

I had an amazing and relaxing weekend.  Went on a 11.9 mile kyaking trip down Snake River.  Got stuck on some rocks a few times and it was horribly cold (should remember to dress more warmly that last kyaking of the year next time).  But other then that it was a fun and exciting run.  It was weird, during the run I wasn't very hungry.  It was weird.  Anyways, I guess when you are frozen you aren't as hungry.  =)  Well, going down class 1-2 rapids with Dani, Matt and Gabe was fun.  Matt and Gabe had a few beers on the run so they were like, I'm warm and I'm like, I hate you!  LOL  It was a awsome night and it was super fun.

Then there was Renfest.  Awsome fun!  Really, that is really all there is to say about it.  It was fun!  Dani, Amanda, Alicia, Peter, and Gem was spotted there and we hung out a little.  =)  It was awsome and I enjoyed it. =)  

I really enjoyed my weekend, it was just a lot of fun! 

Recently,I've taken a step back and taken a look at my life as it is now.  AndI have to say, I'm happy.  There has been a lot of things I've done and decisions that I've made in my life and honestly I can't sayI regret a single one.  I'm happy, I can't really explain all ofthe reasons why this has come to be but I can give a brief idea of itall.

 First big decision in my life (well after college that is): Move away from my parents.  It was a struggle, hard to not have my parentsthere initially, it was also trying because initially my parents wanted me around all the time.  I love them, but I wanted to support myself.  So there I was, I finally did it and it has made me happy to be able to say that I can do it.  I can live on my own, support myself and keep my life in order.  I cherish my time with my family even more and I feel like the bond between us is stronger.

I switched jobs from working at Department of Commerce to C.H.Robinson:  It was a tough decision but in the end I met new people and the job has been fulfilling in many ways.  I feel like I've become a stronger individual with the change and I have learned so much.

Decidingto stop sitting on my butt and losing some weight: I decided that I couldn't keep being unhappy with my looks.  most of you might have guessed, I hated how I look.  I still sort of do, but it wasn't as bad as when I weighed 272 lbs and it scared me!  I felt the fat in my legs, arms, waist and neck area.  I could feel all of it and i didn't like a single bit.  So i set out ona mission to drop 20 lbs, tone up and make myself feel better about myself image wise.  I accomplished the task but I'm not done, I plan on making myself that much better till I feel that I am content with my last bit of flab in my upper body.  It will be hard work but I'm ready for it!

Dani Yang: In my past, I've had a lot of bad relationships.  The last one tore me up and through me away like trash.  It was and stillis hard for me to fall for someone.  I'm always worried that they will do something to hurt me or that I will do something to screw it up.  I am always wondering if I will scare them away for something I can't change, like my addiction to hugging people. =)  Yes, I like to hug people, not in a creepy way but ina nice friendly way.  When I met Dani, it was a quite shock, I thought she was cute, quite and probably didn't like me.  We'vebeen dating for about two weeks now and I have a sinking suspicion that I've been falling since day one. Since the first text message she sent me, I've found her company relaxing and enjoyable. Her smile is addicting. She has become very special to me and I feel like I would do anything to see her smile. This path of life I amwalking, no matter where it leads, I want it to be with her, that is all I'm sure about right now. =)

I'M HAPPY, but there are just too many reasons why and some of them... I just don't think can be put into words.

 

 

No one ever seems to want to add a comment to anything i ever blog about.  :P Has to be because no one even reads what I write!  So that is why i'll just have to say fine!  Be that way!  hehehe. 

 Life has been good, it's been treating me well and I really can't complain.  It's a struggle to currently not have a roommate but I'll live.  I'm going to setup taking my GMAT test soon and I'll probably fail epicly but I'll try very hard not too. =)

 Wish me good luck!

That's been on my mind lately.  Why?  Cause financially I'm "stable" but the amount of free flowing cash that I can spend monthly has dwindled dramatically.  Why?  Cause I don't have any roommates to help supplement my halarious habbits.  What does that mean to you?  Well, it means that Anbon will be out less, probably at home more doing other things.  He will be unable to just go for a stroll to a eatery or what not, but most importantly he will have to put some projects on hold.  Now you might be asking, "Anbon, you have a career and you should be making money like a mad man."  This would be true if my monthly savings plus bills did not equal my monthly earnings.  That's right folks, I save about 50% of my earnings into retirement, future investments, and current savings for emergencies.  So, what does that leave me to spend outside of that on "extras"?  Nothing.  Dramatic difference from when I had roommates I must say.  *shrug* Honestly, it isn't as bad as I thought it would be, its nice to be able to stay at home and get stuff done, but I feel like I have a big ball and chain attached to my leg and I am now worried about money a lot more now then two months ago.  

So I'm upping my finders fee to $200 to the person who helps me find a roommate that will sign a 6 month plus contract.  Cause, it helps me and it will help you with some easy cash in your pocket.  I can't do some of the stuff I need or want to do without an extra cash flow coming in, so help me out.  Assuming you want to hang out with me and do stuffs with me ;).  

Other then that, life is good, I'm going to try and take my GMAT test soon and I'll see how that goes.  I'll also be trying to get into graduate school soon and that will just end my social life probably too.  Other then that, life is really good.  I have met someone special to me.  She wasn't even on my radar, because I didn't even think she liked me.  Well, I was wrong, seriously wrong and I'm happy I was.  Dani Yang has made me one amazingly happy guy as of late.  I can't wait to see where this road will take me, but I will have to say this, "Mom, if you are reading this, stop bugging me about her.  Just cause we are dating doesn't mean we are going to get married next month or something and then also have kids.  SOMEWHERE down the road, if it all works out, yeah maybe I'll pop a question to her.  No rush!  okay?  Love you mom!"  With that said, I really like Dani and have started to care for her on a different level.  It's hard not to be a little shocked at how lucky I am, being single for three years was a good thing for me, and she deffinetly makes me feel lucky.  *hugs*  Well, back to work I go!  

P.S. I've lost more weight.... I set out to lose 20+ pounds in April/May.... I reached my goal.  =) I'm so proud of myself!

How's it going folks?  Life is good I guess.  I'm trying to figure some stuff out.  I went to New York and I have to say, I have some darn cute cousins.  I dont quite know how to put it though.... They are cute but very active and run around a lot.  And it made me super worried that they might hurt themselves when i saw them running around the restaurant that we were in.  SIGH I hope that I'll turn out to be a good father someday but it worries the heck out of me.  Funny thing, everyone thought my kid cousins were my kids.  LOL  I don't think I look that old do I?  I was asked ... are these your kids?  And I went... um... no just my cousins that I'm watching.  lol I am a babysitter ... and I came from Minnesota to take care of them.  =)  LOL

 Life is good, hope yours is too folks!  BBL.
