(PRE-RIDE)
Well, now its pretty much about preparing (minus the training) for the race... which is actually quite intensive! I'm going to break this down into two blogs: PRE-RIDE and during the RIDE

With a little bit more than 4 months to go in training, I have decided to go into overdrive - which is funny because I have been so sick that I haven't been able to ride my bike for 2 weeks.
NOTE: Don't forget to donate!
Considering there is 4 months and 4 days left, I have to take some extreme measures.
1) I'm going on a diet.
You heard that right. A diet. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775554250227585317.post-51246977556832126342016-01-09T20:37:00.000-10:002016-01-09T20:37:06.915-10:00#AIDSLifeCycle - Training 01/09/2016
Training today was pretty fun.
It has been a long time since I rode my bike to Kailua - years - over 4 years probably and it was pretty cool to see that I could still do it.
NOTE: Check out my Fundraising Page - if you have done so yet.
Yup, got a flat tire - thanks to my CO2 cartridge, I was able to ride all the way to Kailua.

You know what's funny is now that I am back and working, I hear the word busy a lot. People are busy. Busy, busy, busy.
Maybe its just me, but I'm still not "busy". I have time to train and work out. I walk to work, I go to tennis classes, I spend a lot of time playing video games, making YouTube video and writing articles.
Yup, still have time to call my friends Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775554250227585317.post-86810640701723673762015-10-07T15:31:00.002-10:002015-10-07T15:31:16.539-10:00My trip to the Emergency Room
So yeah... This past Sunday I went to the Emergency Room at Queens.
The events that transpired aren't that exciting, but I guess I should write about it more in detail.
First, my weight last week. 160.2 pounds - this kinda fits into the story in a weird way.
So last Wednesday, I cooked dinner like normal, it was kinda exciting because it was my first time cooking dinner inUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775554250227585317.post-86280342287140149992015-10-02T12:23:00.001-10:002015-10-02T12:23:16.408-10:00First time cycling in forever!!
Back in the day, I use to ride my bikes over mountains, across cities, past bridges as far as I possibly could. Crazy part is, because I still use the same tracking app - RunKeeper, the LAST time I rode on a bike was back in 2012 - when I was in Florida!

It's official! I can start training for the 2016 AIDS LifeCycle - well starting Friday afternoon when my bike is delivered.

Since I've arrived, one of the first questions that my friends ask me is... How are you feeling?
To be honest, I am not exactly sure. I have been quite emotional recently, probably for the last couple of weeks.

Aloha everyone,
I can't believe that I've been here 10 days. I feels like I've been here for months... Then again time does seem to fly by when you're in good company. I haven't written in so long I am starting to feel scattered brain.

With that said, all of us Mariah Carey fans have most of the songs on her new album #1 to Infinity. If you don't have your favorite #1 Mariah Carey hits, preorder/buy this album here.
Now, the album retails for $9.99, and to be honest, there's tons of ways to get it cheaper!

Hola amigos!
Guau! Hace un mes que escribo aquí en mi blog personal y más que no escribo en español.
Estoy aquí en EEUU, y esta bien pero no es españa.
Estaba aquí 10 días, me hecho de menos para andar y ver gente, pero donde vivo yo es lejos para ir una cafetería o algo. Hay un pequeño parque cerca de mi, de vez en cuando, corré alrededor de parque 5-6 veces.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thanksgiving this year is coming a little bit early and guess who is throwing a Thanksgiving dinner?
That'll be me yours truly. Thanksgiving is a little early for me since I'm currently overseas.
Today I picked up my turkey. It's actually kind of funny because here we use the word pavo to talk about money, which also means Turkey.

I haven't been to a concert since Britney Spears, Las Vegas opening night, so I was really happy that Lady Gaga was going to be performing in Europe, so I bought tickets in February.
