Metallica

Long time no write. I usually don't write about little things that happen the mandain the everyday life things. But when you go to see Metallica for the first time it has to be mentioned. It was the best show ever. They opened with the Ecstasy of Gold which was like magic everybody had their lighters going, the whole arena in GM place was lite with just lighter. It looked like a christmas scene. Then the laser lights started going, the crowds couldn't stop cheering. It was such a site too see so many people packed into that place, all of them cheering for one band. They were expensive to go see but I have to see it's one of those things that everybody should see if they like that type of music. The sound quality was excellent. The whole building was shaking from the bass and guitars. Yay baby.

Best thing EVER. I will definitely go again if they came back.

break up

It feels like an era has ended. A relationship ended after 3 years. Many people have gone though something similar but you always feel like you're the only one.

I've been thinking lots of how things could be and what went wrong. Wanting thing to be the way it was and not sure where I would be heading from now on with out the other.

So I wrote a poem maybe somebody out there feels exactly the same way and this poem helps them get on with their life.

So here it goes

Sitting here with my thoughts

Reminded of the memories you and me

Something I can't let go

I think about where, why it went wrong

I think about you

How much I miss it all

I see your face, no love there

I have to look away

It hurts too much knowing it is the way

Nothing I can do to change

Things were good the way it was

But nothing I can do

Helpless, knowing I won't be with you the sameway

My heart aches

Not knowing how to stop the tears flowing

Thinking about you

Wishing you were here with me again

How do I get away the pain

I don't hate you

But I can't love you

Don't know how to feel

I can't go on

with life the same way

I am forever changed.

So here is my sappy poem hopefully you like it.

Yay Back now

Me and Alex just came back from an awesome camping trip. It's a site out in Vancouver Island called French Beach. Yes it is Provincial. We were swimming out in the Pacific ocean, while we were sleeping we could hear the waves at night. We'll put some photos up on facebook soon for all of you to see. Hope everybody had a good long weekend. :) I did !!!

Finally 30 mins

Well I'm at 30 mins now. This time there was no mess at all, no blisters just knee pains afterwards. It's my first time so I'll have to adjust to it. But I very happy I got to my goal. Quite proud of myself.

28 mins now

Well it's been a long time since I posted but I haven't stopped run. I'm up to 28 mins now, so close to 30. I just finished a run on the treadmill, I'm sweating so much more. Compared to when I run on the tracks outside. I guess it's because there is a breeze while I'm running and I don't sweat as much.
So, as for the shoes I ended up keeping the ones I got at reebok. So far so good with those although every time I start running it hurt at the arch and the ankle.
Well I got to go as I'm in need of a shower badly. yak!


What I need

I did it

I did my run in richmond after work. It's a nice track to run on but it's under construction so part of the track is blocked.

I was listening to the Fox on the way home that day and I heard this band called Apocolyptica. They are truly unique, four now three cello go at it playing covers to heavy metal bands like Metallica, Three days grace, HIM and many more. They are awesome so I'm going to share some videos with you.



Three days grace- I don't care



Metallica-Nothing else matters.



Metallica- Master of Puppets.

Enjoy.

Got too cocky...oops!

Well remember I said it would be a breeze to do 8 mins of running I was so wrong. And since I changed my 200 dollars shoes to 160 dollars shoes I've been having to get use to it. I think I took too long a break in between runs as well. So now I can only run 3 mins until I feel like dying and my feet hurt at the arch. Stupid new shoes. Although they look really nice on the feet. I hope that they get broken in like the other ones I got. I hate this running thing. *argh*

Last run in 5 th Week of training.

Woohoo, I didn't think I could do it but I did it let's do it again. ah... maybe not. I ran 20 minutes straight just now. Boy did it hurt but I'm glad that I finished it. Next run isn't so bad.

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:

• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
• Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
• Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

I can do that since I just did 20 minutes none stop. What 's 8 minutes, a breeze that's what!!! heheh I'm being such a smart ass :P Happy running everybody.

5th Week of running

Another long run on my part. This time I actually waited a day before doing my next run. I had to run for 8 mins continously. Boy am my quad killing me. Good thing though my runner are helping me a lot. So far no foot pain or ankles or shin pains. I hate those, they take longer to heal and make the running experience so much more agonizing. I'm definitely not looking forward to my next run which is tomorrow. I'll have to do 20 mins running. I have no idea how I'm going to do that considering just yesterday I could barely do 8 mins. Oh god help me.

Another run

Well I'm the four week of training. I'm still having aches in my feet and ankles. I really need to get a new pair of runners. I brought these really expensive asaics that were 146 bucks and found out they don't fit me properly. So now I'm going to see if I can sell them. I'm thinking 90 bucks. Here is what they look like. Size 7 womens only worn indoors a couple of times. Pass the news around hopefully someone will buy them so I can get ones that actually fit me.

Updates on other plants

These are called Yellow Loosestrife. I actually found out in facebook with growing gifts.Another rose bud. I had a total of 3 so far.
Mini rose bush from Alex it was dying in it's pot but when I moved it outside it started growing leaves
Start of a peony bud. Can't wait till it fully opens.
No idea what this plant is, does any body know?
I throughly enjoying taking care of my garden. Although the weeding is non stop. So far so good. Not much trouble. So much grass all over they never really go away do they?

Flowers for new season

All of these flowers were purchased at a nursery in Richmond. Don't ask me where it's located I forgot.


These are my lovely Dahlia that my sweetie got for me. I thought this was just too nice not to have so Alex brought it for me.










These peppers were actually brought in the local grocery market down the street from my house. It's starting to create little flowers.
















These are my lavender. Smells really nice
















This is my chocolate mint plant. Smells like peppermint patties.

Great Acoustic track

By Coheed and Cambria - Running Free



Same artist - Welcome Home.

My favorite track by far.

New Plants

I got two new additions to the garden a sweet basil, and hot pepper. Can't wait till the peppers start popping up. They are both still small plants but are doing well since I planted them in the garden yesterday. I don't really have any more room for other plants but I would really like a tomato plant as well.

My poppies are growing really well, as well as the rose. It has finally bloomed.




Well I'm in my second day of my third week of training. I ran 3 minutes straight this time, never thought I could do it. But later on I'll be running 5 minutes then 10 minutes intervals. Not looking forward to those at all.

You can't handle the Meow

This poor kitty is scared out of it's mind.

3nd week of running

Well I'm starting the third week now. It's been pretty good. Although I've gotten a sore throat these pass couple of days. I was considering not doing it today but I thought I shouldn't make excuses. This weeks consists of 90 secs of jogging/and walking followed by 3 mins of jogging/ then walking. Do that two times and I'm done. I'm getting excited now cause I'm getting into the actually running part. None of this 90 second stuff.

No clients. boohoo

Well it's tuesday and it's suppose to be a day of work for me but there are no clients so no work. Sigh! So, instead me and marie are going out for sushi laters. heheh. This running business will have to wait until after sushi is all digested. Oh man this loosing weight is so going to take forever. Damn you sushi! @! !!# $@$#$ Don't know why that underline automatically it's not a link. So after sushi I'll do another run and see how it goes.

My Garden

This year I made sure to start my garden early. Last year is was too late and my flowers didn't stay too long. I weeded early and all the blooms that started to come out gave me lots of excitement. I would look at my garden every morning to see what kind of buds are coming out and to see if they flowered yet. This is what's come up so far.


Biggest Tulip I ever had.Some forget me not decided to grow by them self.


I have no idea what this plant is though??

Chives from last year. Look they got flowers now too.







The beginning of a poppy flower. These are huge.

First week of running

I started this running blog to keep track of how I'm doing. I found this site on the net "couch potato to 5 k". http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml I'm in the first week of it now. Last year I had completed the whole 2 months of the routine but have fallen behind with the up keep. So this year I'm starting from scratch. Plenty of weight to loose from all the sushi all you can eat with Marie.

I have already ran 2 times for the pass few days, Karl has gotten a treadmill downstairs so what better time to start. The third day I took Molly out for a walk instead because I was feeling pain in my ankles when walking. So I took a little break.

Next week I have it all planned on which days I'll run. So I'll be starting on the 2 week of the schedule in cool running. Wish me luck! many many pounds to loose.
