Brain Juice

Bought some smart juice today.  After finishing my dinner, I realized why I bought it... must have been me subconsciously needing some inspiration :).

Makes me wonder.. .I wonder if there really does exist something as a subconscious.  ie. People do things even though they don't know why, but just 'know' or feels right to do at that moment in time.  Can there really be things that people do that we can make sense of it alot later, or even never realize why we did it?  Or no such as a subconscious exist exist and really we are just trying to find a justification or excuse for actions that we spontaneously decided to do without thinking about the consequences... Hrmm...

But back to the topic at hand... once it dethaws... let's see what happens.
Will it still be like the old days where it makes me smart?.. hahaha.

A Master's Student with a Bachelor's Mindset

So today I was trying to decide whether to do an optional assignment.

Pulling some bachelor's math, realized if I didn't do the assignment, I would need a 65% on that last project I am doing to hit that 80 mark...

Me != Master student at all.. .hahahaha

One more week..  one more week.

Mashiko.. Once more

Another month, another appearance at Mashiko.  This time the food was pretty much the same as last time.  I really gotta start writing down what they serve.  Maybe I will start recording them.

As my graduation reward for myself, I think I will book the 2 week in advance Omakase and try it out. Mmmm... I wonder what kind of food they'd serve... and what kind of tab that would run... hahahaha

Another parking ticket

Demo Today Parking $2.50
Parking Ticket $44
Finding out there was no take home finals... Priceless! :)

I have to say I don't mind parking tickets. I am now 3 for 5 in terms of good things that happen.

Though technically, today was a so-so day... :(...

3 more weeks..

June 1st... it should all end by then!

Hurrrting... ... .

Slept only a few hours last night, woke up early (11:30am.. lol) for a soccer game.

After the game (which we lost... again...), just laid down for a few minutes on the field.  It's been awhile since I've done this.  Very relaxing to hear the wind and the feeling of sleeping on grass.

Then at night, got pushed weirdly from the back, sprained by left ankle.  Was so excited to too... bummer.

4 more weeks....

Fooocus.. fooocus... gotta land this and I will be done. Counting down towards the next chapter.

On another note, 24 blog drafts in last 2 months... time to finish and publish them all :)

One more omakase for the week...

I get a text that a friend had a sushi craving, and so I answered the call :).

One more omakase for the week.  That puts the total at 3 ... lol.  And it's only Thursday.  I gotta stop eating out so much.

Was an interesting one today I thought.  The fish wasn't really that special, but it was definitely a different kind of food I normally would expect.  The presentation of each was definitely pretty neat.   Too bad I don't remember exactly what the dishes were called.

A pretty neat appetizer	Yummy Fish Soup
sashmi dish	Don't remember :(
Japanese fondue	Sushi
mochi and green tea ice cream

I have the knowledge, and the means, but I don't do it

I have the knowledge, and the means, but I don't do it.

I have these grand plans, but I never execute on them.

Maybe I really do need smaller plans, ones that I can turn into reality... .. .

Busy busy days in the next few days...
