And that’s how I met your…

I’m usually late when it comes to watching good shows, and that’s the case with How I Met Your Mother, which I started watching last week. I just finished season 1 today, and it’s a really funny show. 

I feel like I can relate to Ted, one of the main characters of the show. He’s an architect who does his thing throughout the day but chills with his friends at night. He’s at that point in his life where he’s ready to meet that one girl and settle down. He meets this really cute girl named Robin, who at times, Ted thinks is “the one”. They have a couple of things in common but both want different things. They’re both really attracted to each, but have a confusing relationship. 

What I’m trying to say is that when I watch the show, I feel like I know whats going through Ted’s mind. Like that’s the kind of life I’m going to live. Looking for love, but having this strong feeling that maybe Robin’s who I’m suppose to be with. Funny thing is, I feel like I’ve met my “Robin”.  A long time from now, when I’m married and have kids, I don’t want to tell them “and that kids is how I met your Aunt Robin!” A part of me is hoping I’d be able to tell them “and that’s how I met your mother…”

whats your weakness?

mine is that I care about others too much

I hate being taken granted for

I hate feeling unappreciated

Sorry

I haven’t written on here in like a week or two. I’ve been really busy of late. A couple of days I haven’t been home, and the other days I’ve been training/practicing for a basketball tournament. I’ll get back to writing on here like I did probably this coming Sunday. Hopefully I’ll be able to put up a picture of my team holding the championship trophy of the tournament we’re playing in this weekend. Update you guys then!

My weekend

I thought that instead of writing an entry for each day of this past weekend like I usually do everyday, I’d just post something about my weekend overall. This weekend I didn’t do much working out like I’d want to, and my eating cycle wasn’t the best, and there were couple of times I didn’t get to check my blood sugar.

So Saturday morning I woke up around 11 am or so and was busy right from the start. Later on in the day I would be participating at Relay for Life, an event held by the American Cancer Society, with some of my friends from church. After I woke up I went to get some gas for my car, met up with a friend from church to get some supplies for the relay, came home and got ready to leave. The relay was being held in Ossining, NY at a middle school. I thought it’d be held inside, but when we got there I found out we’d be outside. We registered, set up our camp site and chilled up until 7 pm when the survivors took a lap around the track to start off the relay.

Standing inside the track and watching the survivors walk that lap made me emotional. There was probably 20 survivors there; man, woman, tall, short, fat, skinny, old, young, and of all nationalities. I already knew this, but this made me realize even more that anything can happen to anybody..no one is exempt.

After the survivors walked, me and my friends walked about a mile together and then went back to our camp site. We prayed for people that we know that have or had cancer and figured out when each of us would do our share of walking on the track. About 2 hours into the event, I started my first set of laps around the track. I put my headphones and started to walk the track. In my first set I walked about 7 laps, which is 1.75 miles. It felt good to walk on the track. My body, especially my legs felt good walking around the track. I did a lot of thinking while I was walking too.

I’ve realized that I want to do something with my life; I don’t know what it is, but I want to do SOMETHING. I’m living a pretty decent life right now, but I don’t feel like its the life that I want to be living. Hopefully I figure that out soon.

Anyways, I did a total of about 4 miles on the track. It was tough to sleep at night because it got so cold at night. I went to my car, turned up the heat and knocked out, lol. We left the event at like 6:30 am.

I went to church today after the event. It was a struggle trying to stay awake because I got very limited sleep last night but I made it through mass. Today was picture day at church (we had to take pictures to send to somewhere) so I dressed pretty nicely.

I came home and pretty much slept the whole day trying to catch up on sleep. That’s pretty much my weekend in a nutshell, I’ll be writing this week on my tumblr so stay tuned for that! Until then I’ll leave you with a picture of my appachan’s (grandfather in malayalam) luminaria that we lit during the relay. His name was Ouseph Abraham, he died of stomach cancer Aug 8, 1989. I never got to meet him because he passed away a year before I was born, but I wish I did.

This morning I woke up and my blood sugar was 98. I didn’t know what to eat for breakfast, so what I did was mix a scoop of protein powder with some plain yogurt and eat that. I also had a cup of coffee. After breakfast I did 30 push-ups (my body is still sore from yesterday’s practice).

For lunch I had 2 sausages in a spicy BBQ sauce with sauteed onions. I had water to drink with this meal. While I was cooking lunch I decided to do some push-ups, this time I was able to do 45.

Around 6 pm, me and my brother went to play ball with some of our friends at an open gym. My pre workout blood sugar was 187. We played for about 2 hours, when our mom called us to meet our parents and a family priest at a buffet for dinner. I won’t list all of the stuff I ate, but it was mainly protein and vegetables with some carbs.

After dinner, we went back out to play basketball. I played one more game, but my body was starting to ache again, so I just game back home (also, I think I was having an allergic reaction to something.. possibly the heat at the gym).

My bedtime blood sugar is 227, expected because usually after eating chinese food my blood sugar spikes up a little bit.

anonymous: r u feeling ok?

anonymous: u don’t have to ask, i always will

(I’m technically writing this two days later. I didn’t get a chance to on Thursday but its still accurate)

This morning my blood sugar was 175. I didn’t have time to make an actual breakfast because I had basketball practice this morning, so I made a protein shake to drink on the go.

From 9:30 am - 12 pm, me and my team had basketball practice. We have two tournaments coming up next month so we need to get ready for it. This practice was not like the other practices we’ve had before. We didn’t play any scrimmages, but instead focused on defense, conditioning, and communication. All though my body aches from the 2 1/2 hours of practice, I really enjoyed it.

For lunch, we went to Subway. Subway is offering a new sandwich for the release of the Green Lantern movie called the Turkey, Bacon, Avocado Sub. In it I got turkey, bacon, avocado, onions, banana peppers, sweet peppers, and chipotle southwest sauce. I usually don’t like avocado, but I liked it on the sandwich.

After lunch, I headed back home and checked my blood sugar, it was 358. From time to time the infusion site (maybe I’ll take a pic of it later to show) needs to be changed. This was one of those times, so that’s probably why my blood sugar was high.

For dinner my blood sugar was 77. My dad had just made beef curry, so I kind of made a wrap using roti, beef curry and lentils. I drank water with dinner.

My bedtime blood sugar was 308. I had forgotten to take medicine for my dinner so that explains the high blood sugar.

What do you do when your best friend lives in a different state and you miss them like crazy? =/
