FOOD POISONING

Today was one of the worst days of my life.

At 4:00 this morning, I threw up 5 times. 

At 8:00, I left the house tired, dizzy, and dehydrated to attend a 7 hour long internship training session.  

However, the day gradually got better as my stomach recovered from the food poisoning and I was able to run the Firefly 5k race this evening.

There's a certain helpless feeling that comes when I am experiencing a large amount of pain from unknown causes at 4 in the morning.

I felt alone, with no one to help as my family members were all in deep asleep.

But I kept reminding myself to trust everything in God's hands because he ultimately holds my life in his hands.

Sorry this post was so short, I'm still recovering from dizziness and and a very weak body.

Thank you for reading this update, I hope to see you next Saturday!

Championship?

It's playoff week, and tomorrow I'll be playing in the final four for my SVAA team.  We haven't lost to any of the teams in our bracket, so I have high hopes for tomorrow.

I'm hoping I have my best performance tomorrow as it's my last game day I'll have for this league.

However I'm playing for a PSA team in a couple weeks, and I'm sure we'll have a higher level of competition, which will help my growth a lot.

This week was really tiring though, I had a lot of essays and projects I turned in.  However, my grades are getting higher, and I think I'm doing better.

My diet is still working, and I've gained 5 lbs already!  I gained 1 inch on my vertical which isn't good though.  I need to have gained 2.5 inches by now.

Sorry this post is so late, I had a busy day today 😄.

Thank you for reading my update!  See you next week!

Living Life in the Fast Lane

This week has been hectic.

And last week.

And the week before that.

Life is going so fast, 

the days are passing in a haze.

I don't even have the time to stop and think about anything.  I'm just going through a series of motions everyday.  

Wake up.

Study.

Hoop.

Sleep.

Repeat.

I'm doing what I've always wanted to do.  Yet, something doesn't feel fulfilled.  I feel like I'm just walking and walking monotonously.  Never finding rest.  Never accomplishing anything.

But I know one day the cup is going to spill.  Something is going to click, and all of the results start pouring in.

There can not be sunshine without rain.  No storm without calm.  

That's why deep down I feel gratitude towards God for allowing me to be here.  It may not show sometimes, I know.  Sometimes life just pushes me down.  However, while I'm on the ground, I look up and I see God.  And that alone gives me the strength to get up and keep going.

I've always remembered the saying, "If you can look up, you can get up."

I never really understood it till now, because now I can truly relate to it.

Personally, I believe this quote means that if one can look up, they can see all the things they are living for that give them the strength to stand up again.             

Finally, I want to address the two posts I missed last two weeks.  The first week I did not post because it was my birthday week :).  The second post I missed was because I was extremely busy that week.  

Next time I will give you all a heads up if I miss a post.  Sorry about that!
