Quick Nap...

RED-AND-WHITE.jpg

I came back from work for the first time before 7pm this week and I was happy about that, but I was still running around the house since there is work and fixing being done around the house so I was walking around and checking out all the work done. So I was trying to get a lot of things done at home since I was home early. I was going through the home bills, and all the other stuff I wanted to check. And then I remembered I was hungry, so I ate a late lunch. Then I was around the house going through the checklist.

I laid down on my bed for a bit to go through a few documents for work, then I passed out with laptop tilted to the right. I woke up an hour and 15 mins later around 8:25pm, and damn that hit the spot. It was great. And now I might test riding a bike that Im looking forward to, so thats going to be an interesting development. I will keep you posted.

Almost There!!...

I had a very good feeling that the wind will fall today, that the storm would calm down after 2pm today, but I was totally off things only got crazier!

I literally didnt sit down for a minute while at work,

I was on the phone,

Typing out numbers on excel sheets

Contacting vendors and suppliers

Crunching out numbers

Sittings in long meetings with comments and opinions flying everywhere, I felt like a goal keeper trying to catch every damn shot

It was intense, I was running at full throttle all day

When we submitted everything I thought everything will be fine and I could chil, then I got a call from the guy who started this storm in the first and he wanted to meet in 30 mins. So I took the top sales guy, and technical guy with me for backup and off we went.

Then the guy ask for more then the impossible that he already asked for!

I make the impossile possible, but somethings are just too short notice! But I could never say no for this, and I just kept on going.

Now that Im home I need to pass out because there is more work to do tomorrow morning! What a day!

Im looking forward to this weekend! I need some chill time, I think Im screwed until thursday Im not sure but I know Im too tired to remember everything right now, but too many things! I need to ride in this amazing weather!

Well Done...

Just feeling it.

  • My brain isnt at full functionality, I may only be using 0.84% of it right now.
  • I have been staring at screens and numbers, talking on the phone for the past 12 hours.
  • I havent had a bite to eat.
  • At one point I felt tired, but not just that anymore
  • My whole domain feels fuzzy or blurry
  • Im home and its 8:32pm (woke up at 5am), at last home, but I got to be at work at 7am tomorrow.

After all this.. and I feel totally burnt out right now, I dont want to just pass out.

The only right way I see about this is going to the gym after making this post no matter how tired I am. I am going, and Im going to order Kabab-Ji after the gym for some intake of meat. Hopefully everyone else enjoyed the beautiful day outside.

Netgear Gigabit Wireless Router...

NetgearGigabit.jpg

Out of my whole shipment that was on hold from amazon that is filled with DVDs and one Gigabit router, the only thing that did come out was the Gigabit router. Its driving me nuts but I really dont have any other choice. The customs thing aside, I was very happy to recieve this Gigabit router. I have had a D-Link 8-port Gigabit switch for a while now running on my Linksys router, but I know the routing itself is at 100MB/s even though the switch can go up to 1000MB/s. Now I have this new router with built-in wireless and Gigabit routing. I just installed it the night I recieved, but I will be doing thurough testing at a later point. I will be doing testing through streaming audio & video, while making data transfer.

I do have access points at this point, which Im trying to use to cover the whole house, and cover all deadspots. Im trying to make sure I have no problem with this router and none of the access points freeze. I will be updating the firmware only after Im done testing.

Glove Cash...

One of the things I learned while in the US is always to have some extra cash in your for car for one reason or another. Just enough to get you by on gas or whatever else you might need.

I have seen it happen once or twice in Kuwait where the person didnt have cash on them, and the gas station attendees arent really going to be carrying around a wireless K-Net charger with them, I think they only have that at the cashier and thats if they have that. How many times have you opened your wallet or purse to be happy that you had enough cash to pay gas. I have come close not to having any except for being prepared. I always have at least 10-15KD in change in some compartment in the car. And it has happened where I forgot to get cash from the ATM and only a few are located in gas stations. I was happy as hell that I had some cash in my car! Its for emergency cases!

I think the worst situation to be is filling up gas and then realizing you dont have any cash and no way to get it at the time!

Getting Swamped...

paperwork.jpg

I had some meetings in the morning and I had to go through some paperwork to finish things up a bit, but I thought I would have sometime to myself after work to go to the gym, maybe grab a bite to eat and finish things up that I wanted to do. I was totally wrong and storm came later in the afternoon. Its when someone asks for the impossible and you have no choice but to make it happen, and what pisses me off is that the person who was asking for it could have asked for it earlier not on such short notice. This what got on my nerves.

I got home at 10pm last night, and I know Im going to get burnt out over the next two day until Monday afternoon, which Im happy is close. I just want to get this over and done with. I want to hit the gym, I couldnt go yesterday since I didnt have time to breath and food was the last thing on my mind. I had an inkling that I was in for a storm.

Dress = Feel...

The one reason I like winter in Kuwait more then summer is that I get to ride more, and I can wear sweaters to keep me warm. Its all about how you feel. Im happy today after work I felt like getting on my bike and going out, and at the same time I went and got a hairt cut and shave.

It felt good as hell since I finished up what I needed at work and I got on the bike and headed to the barber. 4 mins to shave my head and 10 mins to shave my face, and I was out the door putting my gear back on.

From there I went to Marina Mall to go check out The One and take a look at Virgin for a few things. As I was waiting at the light to make a U-turn off the gulf road and into Marina Mall two of my friends in a car spotted me while I was at the light. They were waving like crazy and I was laughing like crazy, so they kept calling not thinking that I cant pick-up the phone when Im in full gear so they texted me. After parking and taking my helmet and jacket off I gave them a buzz while walking into The One. They asked me to pass them by at Marina Cresent I said sure after taking a look at what I wanted. And thats where I spotted the PS3 at Virgin, and how bad it looks. Seriously Virgin looks horrible the way it is and you couldnt find anything so then I left to meet up with friends for a bit.

It was a good day.

I feel good so I put on a t-shirt and a sweater that I like and Im feeling really really comfortable right now. And on impulse Im going to the beach house to chill with some friends. Today’s decisions have all been on impulse and it has been good really. Sometimes a day of impulse decisions isnt bad as long as you feel good. And you dress the way you feel, right now I feel good so Im dressing comfortably, and when Im lazy I put on the most comfortable clothing I have. Im going to sleep in tomorrow!

Weekend Plans?...

Gulf-Coast-Sunset.jpg

I have a few things in mind that I want to do and need to do:

  • Visit my family just to check up on them.
  • Hit the gym on Thursday and Friday
  • Ride as much as humanly possible
  • Organize my files (paper, which I have been procrastinating since it doesnt involve the PC)
  • Still organize my MP3s between all the damn hard drives ( Im trying a new software that can spot duplicates and organize my files without messing with my PC)
  • I want to test ride the KTM SuperDuke at Tristar
  • I want to pass by The One, but when there is no traffic there. I think I will go on the bike on thursday after work
  • I want to watch some anime as well, but we shall see how it goes
  • I need to go pick-up some new movies from hawally and some PC parts

This is just the list of things that popped into my head over the course of the day, it will probably grow longer as I remember and maybe forget a few things!

Workout 211106...

Brasil_flyer.jpg

I have to say that this was the most painful workout I have had yet. I wanted to go to the gym on my bike but my legs were so sore from the last workout I didnt think it would be a good idea to ride if I wasnt at a 100%. So I got into my car and got annoyed with traffic on the way to the gym even though I knew that I could have gotten around it if I was riding my bike.

I went to the gym, and went straight up since I was already wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I hit the elyptical for 20 mins even though my legs were killing me! It felt better after the workout but still!

I need to do more stretching!

After the cadio I went and tried the powerplate for the first time and damn does it make you tired. Your whole body is vibrating like crazy and my head was vibrating making everything look fuzzy. After a while I felt my muscles tightening and it was feeling like a million contractions. It felt good though.

Then I hit the bench press, and kept going from there.

When I finished up with the gym I went home showered and went to my brothers place to grub, and I got to play with my nephew and he was making me crack up.

But damn I feel sore!!

Passing Out...

pacifica-bed.jpg

Yesterday I was so tired even though I was out with family for a bit I could feel my eyes getting heavy. I wanted to go home and passout. By 9:30pm I could feel everything just shutting down and getting that numbing feeling.

Some people told me to drink coffee or something to keep me up for a bit, I told them that I dont drink coffee or any energy drink I just need sleep. The two weeks came out yesterday. So when I went home, I was checking the house bills for about 20 mins before crashing and passing out.

I wanted to watch some anime, but there was no way in hell I could stay up. I literally hit the sack and passed out. It was fantastic, the room was cold and at 10:30am I woke up at 6:25am feeling good. I woke up for the first time in a while not feeling tired, but I know I need a little bit more sleep to get things completely right, and I know Im planning to hit the gym directly after work today.
