Resolutions, now and later

Oh hiiiii, neglected blog :)

It's not that I don't love you, and it's not [necessarily] that I'm too busy/unwilling to sit down after work and write out my thoughts, but the emotional roller coaster from my college years has slowed down (only a little bit) and I am a little less willing to document every. single. thing. Especially online. lol but here are some online-worthy thoughts:

I am going to strive to make a resolution as of right now (Saturday, November 26th) to be healthy. For the past few months I've been relying on "doing that extra mile" or "my fast metabolism," but that shit has to stop now. Why now, as oppose to waiting until the new year and joining the masses of people who say the same thing and act like a protester and occupy the gym for about 3 weeks?

Because of my dad. To the say least, he's been sick, and as I've been by his side trying to listen and understand everything the doctor says, it ultimately boils down how he took care of himself, or more so lack thereof. What resonates even more so within me is that my body tends to resemble his side of the family, so whatever is happening to him, I have a great chance of happening to me.

My aunt (my dad's sister) is doing everything she can to avoid health problems, and she's been doing an amazing job. She regularly works out and watches what she eats, but it's definitely not easy. And my parents are also helping me out too. My dad needs a kidney, and it just so happens that I am healthy person (healthy as in no diabetes) who is the exact blood type. Exact. However, with my family history, with only one kidney, my chances of getting diabetes goes up very high. Although I would like my dad to have the kidney, my parents have made the executive decision for me not to, so I can enjoy the quality of my life while I'm still young.

Time to get on my healthy hype, no?

As for resolutions for later, I need to be more financially responsible, learn Tagalog and run a race. But that's for discussion for later :D

Speaking of my awkward protester reference, not cool UC Davis police. So much love goes out to my alma mater right now. Stay strong, and keep on doing what you do for the future of public education.
