Highlights of my Day... Monday, September 14

1. Waking up for early morning weight training wasn’t so hard today considering I love arm and shoulders days.

2. Mind ya, waking up after what was anticipated as an one-hour power nap proved to be much harder than expected and I woke up an hour late. It wouldn’t be so bad if today were my day off work but it wasn’t and with tons of photocopying to do, in addition to getting my butt in gear, dolled up and then out the door, it made for a bit of a crazy morning.

3. Hey Guy, you asked me the other day about my sleeping patterns, well, I don’t really have any but my sleeping routine usually goes as follows:

5:50am – wake up
6am – meet up with Kitty Cat and train
7:30am – arrive back at home, eat my protein-packed pancake, and shower
8am – go back to bed
9am or 11am (depending on work start time) – wake up

I usually have another hour cat nap in the afternoon after work and am usually in bed by 11:30pm.

4. I only have one class to teach on Mondays and it’s a speaking class full of freshmen students. It’s nice because they’re still super new to the school and way of university life and so they’re pretty gullible, yet energetic and attentive. This particular class today, however, is incredibly quite and so getting them to answer questions and what not in class was like pulling hair.

5. “You have to speak in speaking class… it’s kind of a crazy idea, I know” I told them after I handed out a class survey activity and they all sat frozen in their seats. For the most part students tend to stick with their buddies and continually work with the same partners and so I always try to mix it up by literally pulling and pushing them out of their seats and having them venture to the other side of the room to talk to other classmates. For the most part students think me doing this is rather funny and they get a good laugh out of it but I hope they also my point out of it all.

6. When I arrived back at Guum Ggum after work I headed up to the roof top patio to spend time with Mi Nam. I was just about to open the door when I caught the sound of someone talking. I waited a bit to hear who was talking but it sounded like only one person and so I swung open the door. And low and behold what should I see but Mi Nam up on two legs with one of the Guum Ggum hubbies nattering away to him. I couldn’t help but giggle as I was oh so tempted to ask him if Mi Nam answered his questions… hahaha.

7. Met a new member of UP Boxing Club today, a mentally challenged middle school boy who literally dropped his school bag at the sight of me. Out rolled all his pencils, out flopped his books, and bang went his face bright red with embarrassment. He's a big kid, kind of a loner so far, and so I tried to help him today by teaching him how to put his handwraps on but it was so uncomfortable because he kept on starring at me like I was some kind of side-show freak.

8. One of my buddies at boxing thought it’d be funny to tease me today and call me “the next Caster”, implying that I was both male and female (a hermaphrodite) like the World 800-metre champion Caster Semenya of South Africa. I shot back with overly sarcastic comments like “don’t be jealous because I’m stronger than you boy” and “jealousy my friend… not so attractive in you” but ouch, that was a brutal joke of him to make.

9. After evening natural weight training in the park tonight, I think I clued into why one of the hubbies of Guum Ggum keeps on giving me mounds of overly expensive grapes. My discovery came about when I was getting ready to shower and outside my window, leaning against the park fence I saw someone smoking; it was one of the hubbies. There he stood looking up at me looking down at him and it was awkward. Now between you and me, I’ve seen myself naked and well, I wouldn’t exactly say I’m deserving of those luscious grapes but considering who this particular hubby is married to, even Mi Nam probably looks more appealing in his eyes, and probably has a higher IQ too.

10. Note to self, invest in some curtains asap.
