Just listened to an artist named Justin’s rendition of “Leaving on a Jet Plane” and it really hit me.
Oh man, in a couple more weeks I’ll be leaving to go to the Philippines. But that’s just vacation, I’ll return in January, it’ll be cool.
But half a year from...

Today: November 8, 2010
After a whole year, I returned to my Kung Fu School.
And after 6 months of recovering from my injury, I survived 2 sessions.
YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! CHEEEEE HOOOOOOOO!!!
I was so hesitant & weary of attending. Especially since the 1st session was Sifu’s (Head Master’s) and he’s insanely rough sometimes: Horse Stance 10mins, Gung Ji Ma Right 5mins, Left...
