Friday, July 31, 2009 Hi Xanga, been a while. So it's been a little over a year since moving out to Los Angeles, CA and it's been an experience.  Why did I want to move out here in the first place?  No, I don't mean now, I'm talking about my younger self and the desire to move out here.  I remember back in my high school years thinking that it would be fun to move out to LA and experience LA.  Now that I'm here, it's no biggie.  I find myself seeing the younger me in the kids back at my old church that ask me about LA and about all the "fun" that I am having.  Seriously, I find no difference between LA and Chicago in the "fun" factor.  Same stuff, different location, just a little warmer during the winter, okay a lot warmer.  So I find myself writing in my xanga on a Friday night when I could call up people and do some "fun" stuff.  Tonight I shall not.  I think I needed this night to reflect on my life and refocus.  I'm finding life to be like the movie "Click".  Is it even that movie.  Okay it is, just googlized it.  I feel like I'm doing all these things and I'm on autopilot.  It was just Monday for me and now it's Friday, just.  like.  that.  I'm glad it's friday but what did I do during the week?  I'm so bleh from working that all I do at night is hit up the gym and veg while watching a movie or episodes of old shows.  Truthfully, I didn't want to sit here on a Friday night, alone, contemplating on what to do, but I am glad it happened.  I got to refocus.  I actually read the Bible for the first time this week and conversed with God.  And now I get to write in my xanger.  Hmmm, .  I wonder how my parents did it.  They moved away from all their family and friends and relocated to another country, where they weren't fluent with the language, nor have any family.  I admire them.  9:36 PM - 28 views - 4 eprops - 4 comments - email it Monday, March 30, 2009 Infiniti Weekend Getaways Widget I just posted this Infiniti Weekend Getaways widget for 500 credits.

Cooper conducted a study for the United States Air Force in the late 1960s. He develped the Cooper test in where someone runs for 12 minutes and the distance is measured. An approximate estimate for VO2 max (in ml/min/kg) is: where d12 is distance (in metres) covered in 12 minutes. Formula didn't show up that good....  VO2 max = (d12 - 505)/45   According to this.  I tested myself and found that I can run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes.  I could probably have ran faster but decided against it because I didn't feel like killing myself. Anyways, convert the miles to meters (metres) carry the 2, cross the t, dot the i, and my VO2 max ends up being 42 ish. and then... I go to this chart and am soooo discouraged.

Alright maybe not. Well to get "EXCELLENT" I need to run 1.9 miles in 12 minutes... probably not gonna happen anytime soon. To get "GOOD" I have to run 1.7 miles in 12 minutes... that's gonna be a little more plausible. I just need to run a tad faster than I did, which I think I can do. 9:03 PM - 15 views - 2 eprops - 2 comments - email it Thursday, November 20, 2008 Almost 5 months and turkey day. So it's almost the 5 month mark of me being here in the greater LA county.  I'll just jump to the things I notice: 1) The weather is unseasonably hot!  Some days I still sweat like a pig because it hits 90+.  In the middle of July and August... okay, but in the middle of November?!  But... I do like it.  I must say I do not like green eggs and ham, just like I do not like the cold and wind.  Didn't rhyme like Dr. Seuss but I get the point. It is also screwing up my body.  At about this time in the year, my body craves food and I inevitably work for my ravenous fat cells, eating it up, but this hot weather has confused my body and I have somewhat lost my appetite.  2) Speaking of weather, California people are little kitties turned female body part, well at least the people around me.  Come on...60 degree weather being "soo cold". psh. 3) People still be slow cutting me on the highway, yes highway.  I still say highway and not freeway, it still isn't free being my tax money inevitably goes into the roads. 4) Speaking of roads, I got my first LA speeding ticket.  I choose to fight.  There seem to many loop holes and second chances in CA law.  I hope I win.  I will update next time. 5) Speaking of cops.  I had my car broken into for the very first time in my life!  And yes, I am very sick of hearing, "welcome to LA."  Window busted, cheap car stereo stolen along with some other things, the strangest being Christian CD's.  I guess if anything good comes out of it, it will be my minor contribution to spreading the good news.  The cop that helped me was very nice.  6) I am getting better at doing surgery or as I like to say, surgerizing!  7) No matter how many times I say call me Albert.  Nurses still call me Dr. Kim.  It's like in the nurse code of ethics that you must call the Dr., Dr. 8) People notice that my "a's" are different.  People say I have a ChiCaago aaccent.  9) I found a new fav wine.  2006 Vinetta by Robert Mondavi.  I can just drink that up and up and up. 10) Turkey day 2008.  Will be weird not celebrating it with family back in Chicago.  Dad's turkey, my sister making food network thankgiving day foods, cranberry out of the can, and can't forget the kimchi.  hahaha.  Well, my brother is here and we will start a new tradition of celebrating turkey day together.  Two brothers ordering thankgiving day meals from the market.  Will be nice.  11) Speaking of brother.  I am actually getting along with him.  It's strange.  When we were younger, we really never got along, but now, he is like the younger brother I never had.  We don't do much or share our lives like crazy but we are comfortable.  Like chill bro's.  12) I guess CA is growing on me and slowly sucking me in and black holing me.  I think it's because of this weather and...   11:23 PM - 24 views - 2 eprops - 2 comments - email it Saturday, September 27, 2008 Book me up. So I went out for my brother's birthday, met some fun loving club people.  Went out to a K-club.  Interesting.  Though I didn't experience getting booked, got to watch some of that.  Interesting. Learned a new word, "do-um-ee".  Interesting but would have preferred not to learn that new word. Got to dance like a fool with other fun loving club people.  Nice. My first K-town booking club experience without any booking.  Even better. 1:34 PM - 29 views - 2 eprops - 1 comment - email it Next 5 >>
