Today was a realllly good day. I woke up early to do my rod requirments. After that I took a shower and went to the second day of the function. Today was when we put the statue in the water. We stayed up so late dancing and having fun. I just know I will sleep well today. Few more days till testing.

helloooo, this morning i went to the pmaa seminar and it was so much fun! i wish i could've stayed for the second session too but i had to get ready for a dance recital straight after. we did okay i think, i wasn't really that happy with the dance as a whole but we tried our best. we previously performed that dance for our international competition in las vegas where we got first, but we changed the dance a lotttttt last week since we had a few people missing so we werent really that confident this time. oh well it was overall a pretty good day

Today I woke up around 9 ate breakfast went to the the PMA seminar. At the seminar there were a few things I didn't understand but overall it was good. Once I got home I slept for a while then got ready for my soccer game. At the game I scored the first goal for my team. After the game was over I went to a friends house. Then I went to my cousins house and talked for a while. Once I got home I wrote this journal and am going to bed.

To day I was doing my digital detox. I woke up around 6:00 and did my morning classes and then got breakfast and went back home. I then did some drumming and went on a nice long bike ride. I then got some dinner worked on a little craft and then got some ice cream then went to sleep. There was a lot of challenges but it opened up to the activity’s I haven’t done in a while because of my occupations.

Hurt/Sore

Today started off on a strong note before taking a rough turn in the early afternoon. I woke up super early with a lot on my mind, but heading to black belt class turned out to be really productive—we spent the entire session working on weapons forms. Since I'm still learning the material, I recorded everything on video with my mentor so I can study and lock it down over the next few days. Right after class, I rushed home to pick up a few of the boys on our flag football team and headed over to North Mecklenburg Park for practice. We had a great one-hour session with a solid turnout. While we didn't have the full roster present, the group that came showed a lot of promise. We definitely need one more full-team practice before next Saturday's season kickoff, which also happens to be our physical and written testing...

Homecoming!

Haven't journaled in a few days...Thursday was good but had to skip out on some requirements to be able to finish my homework. Friday was my school's homecoming football game; I'm so glad the rain didn't effect the game too much and I was still able to go. My friends and I went out to Cookout afterwards for milkshakes. I got home late last night but still had to get up early this morning for black belt class so I was pretty tired. My leg was also kind of bothering me during class but didn't hurt too much afterwards. I had my homecoming dance tonight which was a blast! My friends and I got ready together, took pictures, and went to the dance around 7:45p.m. Just got home around 10:30 and I'm so exhausted. My feet hurt so bad but it was definitely worth it! I hope everyone had a great...

I went to sleep later than usual last night, so I woke up a bit tired, but as soon as I got the blood pumping, the tiredness wore off. Class was good this morning. We went over some weapons forms, and we were able to get in some good practice. When I came home, it took me longer than usual to complete all of my requirements, but eventually, I got them all done. I'm super grateful that this weekend is a long weekend, at least for my school, it is. This weekend and this coming week, I plan to spend a lot of time on the color belt curriculum in order to do well on the physical test. That concludes my Saturday. I hope everyone else had a good day as well.

Today I woke up, I went to Tae Kwon DO for the PMA seminar. I attended both classes, the first one was easy but the second one was really hard. But now I have something to practice at home. Then I went home, and I got some rest. Then I went outside played soccer for a bit. Then I had a class, so I did that. Then I had a soccer game, so I went and we lost 2-1. While I was there I think my friend took my ball on accident, so we searched and found his ball, so I plan to exchange tomorrow. Then I went home to a surprise of many guests. I hope to catch up requirements, and I plan to go to Tae Kwon Do tomorrow.

Today I went for a run in the morning. Usually I've been going in the evenings when its darker so it was nice to actually be able to see where I was going. After that I went to the PMAA seminar with grandmaster Evins and it was very fun and I learned a lot. After I came home my neighborhood was doing an event so I went to that to have lunch and then when I came home I did requirements and homework.

A Pretty Full Morning

I attended the beginner Philippines Martial Arts (PMA) seminar led by Grandmaster Evins in Harrisburg this morning.  I really like Grandmaster Evins as an instructor because he breaks everything down and is very patient with his students (unless he's pressed for time).  I took this same class last year with Master Melagrido, but I couldn't attend the intermediate class because I had another appointment at 10:00am.  After I finished my 10:00am appointment, I went to the Harrisburg YMCA and got in some of my physical requirements.  My goal is to have most, if not all, of my physical requirements completed by September 25th.  All in all, it was a pretty full morning.

Hello everyone, sorry for not journaling for a while, I've been busy with a lot of stuff, but anyways today was a good day. The reason today was a good day is because I was able to get my homework done before the weekend so now I can rest, I was able to chill at the house and watch my show. Then I wrote some essays, today was actually very nice for me, I hope you all also had a wonderful day, see you all later.

About my day

   Today was an exciting day, it was Friday! I started my day off with some oatmeal before heading off to school. When I got to school I had a nice chat with my friend in the hallway before going to my class. At the end of the day of school I got picked up by the King Tiger bus and got there to do my black belt lesson. When I got home, I did my exercises and homework. Good night.

Yesterday I went to the county fair which was so fun. School was pretty fun today too. I'm the vice president of art club now and I'm really liking the feeling of being in charge of organizing things and thinking of ideas and putting together future plans for the club and stuff. At first I was a little nervous about it but now its great. After school I went to black belt class and we worked on all the poomsaes and self defenses again.

Circling the Wagons

In Black Belt class tonight, the Black Belt cycle candidates spent about 90 minutes going over all the poomsaes (from Kwon Sool through Koryo) and all the self-defenses (from white belt through Bocho Dan special).  Master Foster was pretty pleased with most of the candidates' preparedness, but he said there are a couple of students who need more work in order to have a chance to pass the test.  After class, we all decided, as a group, that we're going to do all we can over the next 2 weeks to help them get ready.

I was pretty tired when waking up this morning, luckily I didn't stay too tired throughout the day. School was ok, I had a couple tests today but I'm sure they went fine. After school, I got right to my requirements; I can't believe that the physical test is in one week. I'm feeling pretty good on the physical side of the test but I do need to study the written test. I went to class later this evening which was good and when I came home, I was so wiped out from this week that I really just chilled out for the rest of the night.

Today I woke up and was very happy for no reason, but I still had to leave for school. I then in band played a ton of " Hot Cross Buns ", soon later after school I left and went home with my mum after getting my uniform from dads, I came home, ate, and practised my instrument for about 45 minutes. Once I finished I studied for my test for a week from now or so. Later after the questions, I chilled out and called my friend to chill out and make waffles on the phone. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

I'll be missing class today which I am not really crazy about but it is for a good reason.  My oldest is graduating from his apprenticeship program.  Technically, he already has but the ceremony is tonight.  CJ is now officially a journeyman wireman!  Super proud of all of the hard work and effort that he put into this!  We are attending his ceremony and a dinner afterwards downtown tonight and then home for a early night.  In the morning before class I will be taking my husband and son to the airport, they are going to Japan for a week to celebrate.  Very excited for them as they have been talking about this trip for years.  I will be holding down the fort, hanging with our dogs as we finish this last part of the cycle.  Studying the written test, finishing up essays, getting hose requirements done.  Hope everyone has a...

Thursday

Today was a solid, productive day overall. I kicked things off with a good workout at 9Round before heading straight into work, where I installed the vehicle battery I had charged overnight. Unfortunately, the vehicle still needed a jump start, meaning either the battery or the alternator is shot. Once "Bug" finishes picking up the kids tomorrow, I'll pull the battery out to get it tested or put it back on the charger overnight. If the battery is dead, I'll swap it out for a new one; if it tests fine, the vehicle is going straight back to the shop. ​Before taking on my usual afternoon kid pickup, I managed to spend about 30 minutes working on my Five Kwans essay. As soon as I got back, I jumped right into helping in a class and leading warm ups in a class. I really enjoy filming the after-school students during training—it...

About my day

    Today was another average day. I woke up. Had a nice breakfast packed my lunch and got ready for school. I hopped on the bus and when I got to school, I met all my friends and talk to them in the hallway. I then went to second block, which was science. We were going to meet our science buddies, kindergarteners who we would be assigned as buddies for science projects, mine was Leo. He seemed very nice. After that, I had another average day at school before heading on the King Tiger bus to King Tiger. When I got there I did homework before doing a Metee session with Master Sri. I then went home and got my exercises done. Goodnight

My schedule was jam-packed today. School turned out to be busy today, which was not ideal, but it is what it is. The home football game that was supposed to be tomorrow got moved to today. Knowing this, as soon as I got home, I completed my requirements as quickly as I could in order to get to the field on time. Unfortunately, I had to skip sparring class this evening, but I am still on track to have all 10 done by week 12. The football team played great, and the drumline and I also sounded great throughout the game. I got home late from the game, and I still have to do homework and study for tomorrow. With that being said, that is what I am about to do. I had a busy but good Thursday; I hope everyone else had a good Thursday as well.

Today I woke up, went to school, then I stayed back for a math club, which was hard. Then I went home, dropped my friend, and went home. Then I ate lunch fast then went to Tae Kwon Do. First I helped out a blue belt who I saw was practicing green belt stuff, so I asked him, "Do you know your stuff?" and he said no, and I offered to help him and he said yes. So I helped him with Oh chang, and we got through it all. Then I helped with class. Then I got a mentor session in, and it was basically a review because I knew my hapkido 4, meaning I learned everything. So my mentor just made me do some poomsaes and self defenses.. Then I read some terminologies, and then I started practicing my poomsaes and self defenses. Then I went home shortly after.

It was a teacher workday today, so we didn't have school. I slept pretty late this morning but that still didn't help how I'm feeling and my coughing. I decided to do 1 of my digital detox today. Me being sick and pretty much exhausted helped with that some. After I got up and moving, we went to start a bank account for me and my sister. Then me and dad were going to go get our hair cut, but I couldnt stop coughing and my chest felt tight so we just headed home. Pretty much the rest of the day, I laid around resting. I did manage to do requirements. Then I got my shower and got ready for bed.

Today was a good day overall. I woke up and headed to 9Round for a workout—it was decent, though I wasn't entirely feeling it today. After getting to work, I ate lunch right away and spent about 45 minutes working on my essay before leaving to pick up the kids. When I got back, I pulled the battery from one of the vehicles to charge overnight, then jumped straight into helping with classes. I attended the 5:15 PM class before heading home. After dinner, we jumped online and gamed for about 30 minutes, which was nice since it had been a while. Now it's time for bed; I'm exhausted, and tomorrow is going to be a long day. Good night!

Breaking in class tonight, I pulled students who had broken their board and worked on a lot of self-defenses. And some poomsae. I worked one on one with one of our newest Bocho Dans on Koryo and it was a great way to end the night. Hope your Wednesday is a good one!

Today I woke up and went to school to find out thats theres no school tomorrow, I then learned that my teachers were being way to nice. After school I got home and ate, I then played a game before getting ready for taekwondo. I went to taekwondo and it was pretty good, we did self defences, poomsaes, short stick and bostaff forms. I got home and took a long hot shower, I got out and came down to call my friend where there is better WIFI. So once we hung up I go to my room and chilled. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

About my day

    Today was a very sufficient day. I woke up quickly got ready for school and got on the bus when I got to school. I sat in the hallway and talk to my friends before heading off to my classes. After school, I went straight to King Tiger, where I then did my homework and I'm proceeded to help out with 4:45 class. And then went home and finish my black belt requirements. That brings me here I'm about to go to bed. Good night 😴

15 I did my math test and I think I did pretty well. School other than that was pretty normal. Sadly my ap csp teacher's father passed away so we have a sub this entire week. Im going to make her a card to hopefully make her feel a bit better. I can acknowledge the fact on how hard it really is to lose someone in your life especially if that someone is your father. We truly never appreciate thing or people until they are taken away. Overall I think it was an ok day. Hopefully my teacher feels better 🕊

Entry 27

School was okay. My dad told us this morning that he might sign us out early, but he didn't. We don't have school tomorrow though, so that's a plus. After school I helped out with class, then had black belt class. We practiced a good bit of stuff today, including hapkido #4. After class, I went home and did requirements. Now I'm getting ready for bed. I've been coughing for a few days so maybe a lot of sleeping & some medicine will knock it out of me. Good night.

Black Belt Cycle Day 58

Today I woke up around 8 in the morning and had to get ready quickly for my bus which came later. When I got to my bus stop my friend brought his ball sk we just played catch until the bus came. At school during homeroom and 1st period I prepared for my science test. After my test my friends searched my name on Google and found I did taekwondo and read my journals which felt weird. Anyways after school I headed to taekwondo where I attended two classes. One for being a white belt and one which I did warmup for the first time and helped out. After I got home I did some requirements, ate dinner and went to sleep

Training Tuesday

Today was a great day overall. It kicked off with a fantastic morning training session at Grandmaster Evins' school, where we focused on lots of kicking and new techniques I’ve never done before. Right after that, I went to 9Round and crushed a workout, burning 600 calories. I was starving by the time I got to work, so I ate lunch right away. Afterward, I had to jump-start and pick up a vehicle for the afternoon runs to grab the kids, though it was running really rough once we got it back. After finishing the pickup runs, Dad and I took a look at the vehicles—he got the rough one running smoothly, and I was able to fix up the other one I worked on. Once work was wrapped up, I headed home for a run. I was only planning on doing 2 miles, but I ended up pushing through 5,...

Today was a very average day. School was fine today; not a lot happening. After school, I came home and worked on my requirements. I went to King Tiger later in the evening to practice and for leadership. I was planning on going to track to run this evening but I found myself a lot more sore than what I expected. Ultimately, I decided to go to the track tomorrow evening. I hope everyone had a good Tuesday.

Day 58 (9/15/26)

Today I woke up on time and did my requirements early. I ate my breakfast at school because I didn’t have enough time to eat it at home but I still enjoyed it. It was a frozen breakfast burrito and some of the inside was still frozen by the time I ate it at breakfast I talked with my friends again. In Health my whole table was there and we started on a project in duos. After 1st block we had Titan time which is basically when we go to homeroom to work on missing work or whatever we need. After that we went to 2nd block and we got a new seating chart that we got to pick. Then we had 3rd block and that was alright but I had fun at lunch. I got early dismissal at the beginning of 4th block. I went to a doctor’s appointment and...

Today was pretty normal. I had school and the homework is really starting to pile up. It's starting to feel like school again. After school I went to this interest meeting for a baking and cooking club and literally half the school came. Literally all of them were just there because the flyer said they would have food. like half of them have prob never touched the stove a day in their life bruh. Anyways after that I came home and finished up some homework. Later on I went to taekwondo class and got some leadership and a mentor session. I finally have properly learned and memorized my stick and staff form!! I learned them earlier but kept messing up and forgetting stuff and I finally got it down now. Main thing that I'm behind on is mentee sessions which is hard because my mentee doesn't show up as often as...

14 Sadly it is a Monday. Tomorrow is my math test and I had to study for it it today. I think I will do well but I will study well for it. Also I was happy because my grandma was doing her dueling I set up when she came to visit for the summer and she is doing very well. She has a 72 day streak and now she can read English sentences. Im so happy. Also my tkd requirements felt a little sluggish today because I am extremely tired. But it is good to know i will sleep well.

Monday

Today was a great day overall. Started the morning strong with a 9Round workout before heading into work. Task-wise, I only needed to fill up two vehicles with fuel today, so I knocked that out and grabbed a quick lunch before doing the camp pickup run. ​Once back at the school, I jumped straight into helping in classes. Spent some time taking and posting videos to the parent portal so they could see their kids in action—always easy to get awesome clips during board-breaking week! ​Headed straight home after work to tackle the yard. It had been two weeks since the last mow, so it was long overdue, but it felt good to get it cleaned up. Finished out the night with dinner and caught a bit of football before calling it a day. ​Goodnight, y'all.

Today was a normal Monday. I forgot it was Monday actually until after school, when I had a club called girls who code which meets on Mondays. Anyways school was alright. I had a test in math which I felt pretty good about. I went to taekwondo and we worked on kicks and stuff that work up to a 540. I really want to be able to do that kick. My tornado kicks are getting really good, I just need to focus on getting my hips turned all the way over. It's harder than it looks.

Black Belt Cycle Day 57

Today I slept in pretty late until around 7:30 which was unusual. Since my bus came around 8:10 I spend the time getting ready since it was picture day... Although everyone else knew that, I completely forgot and wore the first thing I found in my closet. Oops. I tried to fix my hair and everything and hopefully it worked. Anyways after school once I got home I watched some one piece and then headed to my robotics class which was 2 hours long. After class I did a few requirements and then around 9:00 I started to prepare for my test tomorrow in science. I slept around 10. Pretty fun day good night!

I woke up then went to school. It was not a good or bad day. Then I came home, and ate food, then went to the tennis court to drop my sister off for tennis class. Then I was dropped to Tae Kwon Do to help out the junior tigers. Then I went to black belt class. Then I asked Master Knight for help on the written part, so he helped me a lot. Then I got a mentor session, in which we did hapkido 4, which I didn't even know was a thing. Then I went grocery shopping, then I went home.

What Are These Kids Eating?

I returned home today from the funeral I attended out of town this past weekend.  After I unpacked, I went to the Y to get in my requirements.  After the long drive, I was beat, but I was determined to get the requirements in, partly because I'm close to completing a lot of them this week, but also, I figured the workout would help me stay awake so that I could attend Black Belt class tonight.  I knew if I laid down and went to sleep, I wasn't getting back up in time for practice.   Before practice started, I had a good mentoring session with Master Knight.  We went over Yellow and High Yellow Belt Self Defense, Stick #1 and Staff #1.  During practice, something I long thought was pretty much confirmed tonight: 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old girls today are stronger than the ones I grew up with.  During one of...
