DEP CC and Marching.

I met up with my recruiter and my fellow DEP'rs. We made a love package for her (USAF) husband who's deployed in Afghanistan so we sent him some good stuff. Junk food, shaving cream, packaged Gatorade, and someone gave him an iPod shuffle. UM, OUR LIMIT WAS $10, DUDE! Hahahahaha.

Then we got a briefing about the news in the USAF. In Lackland AFB (where our training is held), there has been a lot of investigation happening because there are MTI's who are harassing or sexual harassing people or something like that. Men and women but more on women so they're kicking out MTI's and discharging them from the military and even those who are under suspicion are being discharged so it's serious stuff. After that, we went outside for a test... We had to do our 'reporting statement' and then we all got together and marched. We have two new kids and one of them is Art. We were commanded to do a "change step" but he did a "change step" and a "about phase" AND THEN HORRIBLY CRASHED INTO PEOPLE. It was like a bowling ball crashing into the pins. IT WAS HILARIOUS! XD

After that, we were all briefed on what we're going to do for the next two DEP CC's. So, August 4th is Ultimate Frisbee (I'll bring my own this time) and September 1st, we're running UP Mount Rubidoux (Roo-bee-dough) sigh. Maybe... If I pretend to pass out... Some hunky DEP'r can carry me? HMMMMMM.

Then we were all dismissed. I was going to talk to Sgt. Fears about my right knee but I'll just ask her on Wednesday when I see her.

I'm not sure if I told you about my knee...

Well, I've been feeling this weird discomfort in my right knee. When I do a squat (like I'm going to do a duck walk), I don't feel it but it's when I do a pivot to my right side and put my weight on my right side, then I'll feel it and sometimes, it'll hurt. I don't know if it's something that I have to address or let it go but I feel like I should just to figure out what's wrong. I've asked some of my guy friends who are all into physical body and whatnot and they say that it's either I used my right side too much, or I've strained it or over-used it or I didn't stretch out enough. :(

So, yeah. Meh.

Leandra Graves - Move

This is Leandra Graves, she is a friend of my church friend Peter (member of the band "Don't Forget Your Shoes") and her boyfriend, Taylor Barisoff (we call him Beri), who was two spots before Leandra and he's into the rock-blue-jazz-country-ish genre. But, Leandra performed and she sounds really beautiful in person. I bought her EP CD for $5.

Turtle, I don't know if you like this kind of music or if you liked it but when I watched her perform at the Flour Fusion cafe, I thought of you. :)

Band Sesh and Gigs.

Today was an eventful day. Actually, right now it's 249am. Let me recap it for you!

I was home all day, watching my Korean shows and eating while the Bishop and Mrs. Davis get ready to spent the night over at the Los Angeles Temple. And then I was reminded that today was Allen and Peter's gig at the Flour Fusion cafe! So we arrived in Lake Elsinore by 7pm and luckily, it hasn't started so we got to see Allen perform! <3

I made a 10-minute video of him. SHHHHH. <3 And then I got to hear other songs from other friends/artists that Allen and Peter are friends with. Also, I got to meet this new artist "Leandra Graves" (Turtle, I really think you're going to like her... So Google her and give her a listen) and I bought her $5 and the money goes to a fund for her new guitar. Whatevs but she's really good... The only thing about her that I didn't like was that she kept moving around the stage a lot and it annoyed me.

After the whole gig was over at about 10pm, Glenn, Joe and I headed back to Riverside and we called up Scott to see if he was up for a band sesh (Rock Band) and we told him to meet us up at the RCC Institute*.

* The RCC (Riverside Community College) Institute is where LDS/Mormon RCC students (and visitors are welcome too) to go to study during classes or want to study more about the church and that's why we hold Institute classes... It's almost like Bible study. But it's closed during the summer and it'll reopen when the fall semester opens up.

Since the Institute building is closed for the summer, no one comes HOWEVER, since Joe knows the passcode, we're allowed in and we used that space for a Rock Band sesh. <3

Five hours of Rock Band was good for our soul.

Now, I'm home, 5 minutes before 3am and I have a DEP CC at 9am. Haha.

Today was a good day.

I've figured out why I've been losing weight

  I drink this awesome, herbal supplement drink called Intra, and sometimes along with it I drink the capsules that go with the package which supposedly enhances the nutrients and has fiber and shizz.

 Turns out the stuff is also very effective in speeding up metabolism.

I have a metabolism speed of The Roadrunner, so turns out the capsules kind of act like a turbo gear for my already fast-as-lightning metabolism.

 My mom recommended that I take one capsule every few days with my meals instead of the usual twice-a-day routine.

Crisis averted.

LOLWUT

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My favorite would be Forever Alone, Sub Zero, Double Dutch, and I Slept In My Contacts, just to name a few.

I think I'm coming down with a cold.

One More Reason To Love Elders.

This was taken from an Elder in the New Zealand Mission. An Elder helped a mother duck get her little ducklings out of a storm drain... The most cute thing I've ever seen so far <3
