Character

Recently, a friend asked me the reason why I workout. What did I workout for? A few months ago, I wouldn’t have known the answer. My reason for going to the gym is not to have that beach body most people want, it wasn’t to go scoping for gym babes, nor was it to relieve stress.

I don’t really KNOW the reason, but I could only answer with, “to build character.” A lot of us do things that define us; some of us study hard, others procrastinate, some like to enjoy the moment. Until then, I didn’t really know what going to the gym meant to me until my friend asked. I realized that for me, going to gym was to help me become strong. I am not talking about your Hulk strong. I’m talking about a-person-who-will-give-it-his-all-no-matter-what-despite-the-odds strong. The reason I push myself, despite my rather declining and moderate grades, is to find out who I can become, what I’m capable of, and how I appreciate the hard work more than the results.

The moral to this short-brief story is that no matter what the odds, it’s never too late, and don’t give up. Because whether you’re bench pressing 225 lbs, or trying to study for your finals, your efforts, your motivation, define your character.

School Year 2011 - 2012

To my friends at Pomona: Although I’m not anti-social, I’m very picky about who I call my friend. I refuse to be friends with people who judge me. Maybe it’s my qualities as an INFJ, but my friends mean a lot to me despite the short time we’ve known each other. I feel like all of the people I spend my time with at Pomona are important to me. Kuya, Ashton, Nabin, Bryant, Austin, Daniel, Mark, Jackson, Ashwin, Karina, Megan, and Jaime haha. I fear that one day like high school, I will have to leave my friends, but the bonds we have made so far have been important to me than they know.

To my friends I have not seen or talked to as much: I wish you could be more in my life now. I don’t know if any of you miss talking to me, or spending time with me, but I do. I miss Ryan, Kyle, and Derrick’s jokes at lunch and the funny shit they do. I miss Greg’s annoying things he did to everyone haha, and spending lunch with him and talking about our lives and everything. To Jonny, you were meant to do great things, but the great thing you did for me was being my friend, not acing every test, but just being a friend. You weren’t the nicest guy, but you were there, you provided me a goal for life and what I wanted myself to become. To Peter, you were always an icon to me, you were like me personality wise, our school work was different, but somewhere down inside I felt like I had a deeper connection with you. Wherever you are now I hope you are making the best of your life and staying the same wonderful person I was proud to call my friend. To Jessica, I miss you a lot as well, it feels like it’s been years, and it probably has been, since I’ve seen and talked to you. What happened to our talks and the days I spent talking to you about the depressing side of my life. I enjoyed having someone like a sister there for me. I hope that you will be a part of my life again like everyone else someday, but right now it all seems like a dream almost to be reunited with everyone.

To Brennan, Nicole, Jacob, Tammy, and Connor: Although college has taken us all our separate ways. We still remain close. I appreciate the extremely close bond we have had this past year, and I hope we stay this close forever. I don’t have much to say for you guys because we talk often at least haha. See you soon.

To my cousins, Quynh-Tien & kinda cousin Tammy: I miss you guys as much as anyone else, if not more than some. You guys were like my left and right arm. We were always there to joke around about each other and give each other crap. The best part is that we all laughed about it. I am happy you guys are not going too far away for college :). I miss Quynh-Tien’s DGAF personality and Tammy’s clumsiness. You two are the perfect biffles (best friends forevers). I love the both of you guys a lot like my own sisters somewhat, and I hope you guys never change for the worse.

Next, to someone who cannot see this post: I am sorry about everything I have done. My one regret is not being a better friend to you or being there for you when you needed someone to be there for you the most. Wherever you are now, I hope you are living life happily and making the best of it. You will always be a friend to me, whether you like it or not. Take care, and goodbye.

Lastly, to my beautiful, smart, loving sweetheart Ger Bear: without her this year, my life wouldn’t have been so amazing. Every date, every movie, every dinner, lunch, text, call, video chat, picture has made me a happier person. I remember when I was such a pessimistic person, and I changed for myself my senior year, but the reason why that change has been constant with my life is because I found someone who appreciated me for who I am. If I were to give out an MVP award to someone in my life it would be her :). I pray, I hope that we can one day call ourselves high school sweethearts and spend every day like how we spend them now, in each other’s hearts and company.

The Way Things Are

As I sit here studying for my midterms, random thoughts start popping into my head. Things have changed so much in the last 5 years. I remember the times eating lunch with some of my old best friends. I miss that spot that we always ate at. Those stairs had some of the best memories of my life in high school. It makes me sad that I cared about someone, who didn’t care about me the same way. I’m sad that my closest friends grew apart. While we went our separate ways, they are still an important part of my life. I know a lot of my friends going to college soon are afraid of the things that will happen in college. I just want to let them know that they will be fine, and that life will take them where they’re meant to be if they’re willing to take a leap of faith. One of the biggest reasons I’m still sane today is a change of heart. I found someone who could enjoy being with me. People wonder why we have been able to become so close in such a short amount of time or why our relationship works. I think the answer to those questions is the effort, trust, and pure genuine faith, along with the absence of insecurities, judgment, and secrets. A relationship is quite simple, but people tend to make it more complicated. All of these important parts of my life changed the person I was. I still miss my friends more than they know, and I hope that life takes them somewhere they will be happy.

Everything will be ok if you believe it will be. Good luck to all of my friends and family. I am always with them in their memories and heart.
