- I really like this article said about “time spent” I’m not going to meet any women staying inside all day. I should put time being social and out there in the community. Gonna do a better job making Tacoma friends and branch out some more.

- I really want to invest into becoming more socially active and try to find a good partner over the summer. Pumping iron and going to free events to meet women over the summer sounds like a geat time.

- Dating apps is a bandaid fix at the moment but I usually pull way more attractice women in person and I’m ready to dedicate a whole lot of my energy for this relationship.

- I often find myself sitting in front of my computer with nothing to do or looking at game reviews in search of a new gamae to play. These instances call for the need to hit the iron palace. I really want to up the intensity to 6x a week. It’s only an hour investment each day. My brother literally goes everyday so consistently so I know I can do it too. Just have to be committed.

- I also gotta keep a lookout for volunteer opportunities and social outings for the remainder of summer. I have to focus on being out and about, meeting as many people out on the Tacoma community as often as I can.

- There’s a rose + tulip festival this Saturday. I can go there right after the volunteer event and it bleeds into 5pm which means I can still go out afterwards. I gotta capitalize on this. More time with people means more chances meeting someone special. I have to be intentialal.

- Holy fuck Diable 4 is really fun. It’s like an expanded league of legends experience but versus AI demon boys. The graphics are so clean and clear. Fighting the monesters is the best. I made my own bone build. The satisfaction of firing a bone needle critical hit to execute a monster is awesome.

- Gave in and got Hinge premium for the summer. If it’s any time to date it’s this summer for sure. It’s a numbers game and I got to put my feelers out in the community. Get as many dates as possible. Screen out the bad ones.

6.5.23
- Diable is fun but it’s a distraction like everything else. I can play all I want as long as I am completing the fundamentals of oing to the gym and working on my photography. That’s all I ask for myself taking baby steps towards self-improvement. – I am close to beating the game. Excited to see the ending.

- Went on a date with Maddy. She’s a sweet girl but man talk about low hanging fruit. When it’s easy to get the goods be tainted. She was a sweetheart though and it was obvious she was nervous.

6.6.23
- had a good warm up gym day yesterday. Just gotta get used to go nearly every day. Build up the routine and just move more in general this weight isn’t going to lose itself.

- Leena offered for us to stay at her place for the whole trip. While the gesture is nice, I think it’s best to stay at the Airbnb. She mentioned she wants to come over on nights where we will be drinking. I’m 100% game for that haha. Gotta get into really good shape in time to see Leena. Honestly so excited to finally see her again in her home country. It’s going to be so fun 😊

- Feeling pretty disappointed that I didn’t go to any social events last weekend. I still think I get the most quality dates through in-person means. Gotta fill up my schedule with as many local events as possible!

- I really out to bump up some photography leads. I really like the idea of having a photoshoot raffle to help promote my page + photography. I still can’t handle my spending habits so it’s either spend less or get more paid photoshoots. Summer is here and it’s my oppotyunity to shine.

6.7.23
- Beat Diablo IV yesterday. The cutscenes were really good, the Ange fight aws so cool to see. I actually died in the boss fight, it was actually a challenge. I love how Neville ran off with the soul crystal and can open a lot of story lines.The one-handed Horadrim. Sat to see Doman go but he definitely has a good redemption arc. Also Elias was a good villain too. His immortality was well done hiding his pinky away. The graphics were beautiful, environmental design was top notch. Very gruesome world building paired with fun gameplay. Such a good game.

- Pretty upset at myself for dodging out of the gym last second to throw around some softballs but I felt the practice was worth it even though it was limited. Getting outside my comfort zone is worth the price tag.

- I’m going to try eally hard to date this summer. I really should spend as much time outside the house during the warm weather. It’s a good time to focus on my body and get girls. Leena is the final goal if things manifest well.

- I can’t believe summer is nearly here. No more 6am wake ups. All the time in the world. I want to make a goal to do something active everday and to be out in the community as often as possible. I really want to invest time to find a girlfriend. I havent’ been craing it bad but it would be nice to have some intimacy back into my life again. Being out and about and spending time meeting new people will accelerate things for sure.

- I’m going to start bringing my laptop to school so I can work on some writing during down periods. Turns out I’m writing more and more each day and I actually enjoy it.

- Writing about Marion is going to be tough since I’ll have  an audience but it’lll give me an opportunity to address my shortcomings and highlight one of a my favorite trips I took.

- I had a pretty productive day yesterday. I’m grown to like the no-league Wednesdays. I still was distracted with reddit and watching games but I got to cross off a lot of action items. I really like the idea of having this journal in front of me at my desk. Makes it a lot easier to remember to do the task at hand.

- The days I got to the gym, I often find that I’m a lot happier. I’ve been enjoying the HIIT workouts. The feeling of being gasses is temporarily awful but feels good after. Knowing I’m taking steps towards the next level is great. Gotta keep it up.

6.9.23
- I’m super excited for this weekend. My Saturday is stacked full of events and today we got some grad parties. Time like these make me happy I got this huge network of friends. It’ll be good to hang out with everyone again.

- I got a date with Bianca. I’ve only been on the app for a week so this is pretty sick. She’s pretty cute so it’ll be cool to talk and get ot know her. Still gotta keep up the pressure and keep searching for new leads.

- 10 minutes away from a little weekend getaway. Pushing myself an getting out there. Keep up the pressure buddy! You’ll pull through 😊

6.10.23
- Last night was definitely one for the books. It was so much fun meeting Bianca and spending the night with my closest friends. Honestly that whole night was just so great. Bianca even got to join all of the festivitities. The vibes were immaculate.

- Bianca is really sweet. I like the language barrier funnily enough. I was definitely impressed by her outfit. She knows how to dress. It was cool of her to try out the noodles and using chopsticks for the first time. It’s really easy to make her laugh and her accent is very hot. It’s too bad that she’s leaving in October so I know long-term there’s nothing happening but I’m okay with short-term. I could use the company. Overall, very cool first impression of her and I’d like to see her more.

- The graduation party was super fun. It was great getting to lead the group and call the shots. The cramming in the elevator was fucking hilarious. The shouting and hceers was a good transition. I love my friends man.

- The new spiderman movie was so fucking good. I got trapped in the story and it’s gorgeous visuals. The animation style is so unique and fun to watch. The twist at the end was amazing and the water color backdrops are just *chef kiss*. The Spot being the joke character turning into a mega villain was so cool to see. Jeez, I might have to go watch it again because it was so good. – Got to hang out with Hirza, Kevin and Zach afterwards.

- Made some friends at the Sofar concert. First act was really fun, the second one was lowkey ass but man the third act honestly made it worth it. He had a unique frame, very little dude but his piano and singing skills were powerful. I love how he blasted through his set “Hi, I am Ian. I don’t talk much, here’s my last song”. I also met Iowana and she recognized my beach house shirt which was cool! She knows about Tame Impala and how to pronounce Khruabin. Supper happy to have made friends with her.

- I realize the philosophy of being out of the house. Being out and about for two days was such a blessing. There’s not a lot of satisfaction on League anymore. Think it’s time to get past it.

6.12.23
- Had a pretty low energy day yesterday but it was okay since I had a BANGER of a Friday and Saturday. I think sitting at my desk just puts me in a unproductive atmosphere I really want to invest into a separate work station. Having a separate space would be beautiful.

- It’s a little troubling that Bianca isn’t texting back. I thought she had a good time but I had a good time bringing her to my friends. Hopefully she gets back to me. If not I’ll take it as practice. Covering her costs was worth it. I do wish she gets back to me, I really do like ker.

6.13.23
- I think I have to accept she’s gone. Sucks but not the worst thing to happen. At least I’m a US citizien ahahahahaha. Back to square one but it’s my home and I don’t mind it. I got all summer to explore and date around. My fun hasn’t started yet.

6.14.23
- Got to see Drew today. Dude is still the same but with longer hair. He still rambles on but I miss it. It was good to ctch up and see him another time. I love his new car too. That blue Bronco suits him well.

- I really want to create a work station computer in the living room. It would be used for just work and school only. It would be pretty inexepsnive. Just need a standing desk. Cjay’s old rig and a new monitory. Lawrence is down to go half on it and it would be best to study for school.
- I’m hesitatnt about it because  it’ll put me in a lot of debt, especially with the Korea trip coming up. I don’t want to be stuck with a crazy amount of debt again.

- I got my no-league day again. It’s time for me to catch up on tasks I’ve been procrastinating on. I really want to fix up my bed frame and clean up the huge mess of my room. I’ve been pushing it back too long.

- excited to hang out with Zeri and Olivia for trivia night. I haven’t seen her in a bit and I enjoyed the last trivia I’ve been on even if we got destroyed.

6.15.23
- The low stress part of the job is fantastic. It’s so nice to have downtime and to sit back. It’s so nice when my student behaves. It feels so easy compared to my old jobs. I’ll be perfect to when I eventually attend grad school. So thankful for this opportunity. Working at CPHS has truly given me joy and a way for me to get back to my feet.

- Still undecided about pursuing Olivia. It’s kind of selfish and could potentially drive her away from the group. But fuck it, I’ll have to make the choice when I see her later tonight.

6.21.23
- Been playing it chill these last couple days. I can sit back and relax. I will most likely ramp up the productive soon but for now, just enjoying the goblin time.

- The trip to In n Out on Saturday was perfection. The beach was my favorite part. Playing frisbee, hitting softballs and chess in the sand. It was a long day but it was perfect in my eyes.

- Met Jenna in person today. She’s super cute and vibes well with me which is great. I love that she’s creative and can act goofy with me. Excited to see how this will turn out. Don’t get your hopes up!

6.26.23
- Watched Past Lives. Such a good film about love and past relationships. 8,000 threads of connection. “in-Yun+ talks about the connection of past lives and how briefly they crossed each other . Like a bird touching a branch. So fleeting and intimate.

- I really like the lane “When you leave something behind you also gain something”
- When Hae Sun had to leave it have me inspiration to leave something of mine. Just like I left Hannah, I have to accept that that period of my life is over.

- I have been unhappy with the way I’ve neem living. Having to waste Alecia’s time because I slept in. It’s a nasty consequence to my addiction to League. It’s brought me good memories but I have to let go if I want to grow.

- There’s so much more out there for me. It’s time to made space for something more.

6.27.23

- Today was a good day. I actually had a lot of fun editing that video with my old footage. It’s way more engaging than pictures for sure. I’m actually pretty proud of the stuff I made. I invested into the video format by investing in an action came to crate even more interesting angles. I know it’s pretty irresponsible of me but fuck it. It’s a worthy investment. I have all the gear I need to make some quality content.
- I gotta make a video to address my Roblox fans. I have so many it’s hilarious but I gotta let them know what’s going on.
- I’m really happy about trading League for video editing. This new medium is a new frontier and I’m all for it. It’s going to be an awesome adventure, improving my craft and getting to 100 videos. Just gotta put the time in.
- Really I want to use this time to amek the best out of Korea and make a travel blog. I just want to get out there prepared for any thing. I will learn as we go.

- Got my date with Jenna tomorrow. I’m actually stoked about it. First gine in a while where I feel good about it. Have to be mindful about how nice I am to her. I want her to feel good and have sweet memories about me. Here goes nothing.

6.29.23 – Thursday
- Wow. My life is speeding by so quick. Honestly my whole tempo has changed from quitting league. I have so much more time to do other things now.
- I’m getting a lot of fulfillment from making videos. I honestly enjoy sitting down and making them. It challenges me to think cratively and think through the process which is fun. Excited to embark on this adventure.

- Went on a second date w/ Jenna and it went great! It’s really easy to get her to laugh and she think’s I’m funny which is cool. I totally could have kissed ker there on that hill but I decided to wait. Next time. I genuinely enjoyed her company and I’m looking forward to see how this evolves over time.
- Life has been splendid lately and there is so much life ahead of me this summer. I’m all for it.

6.30.23 – Friday
My luck with girls continues it’s usual pattern. I might’ve acted too immature with my pushing and ill-advised DV jokes but that’s just me being ,e. I’m not too attached to the outcome anymore but it’s quite comical how often this happens to me. Back to square one where I belong hahahaha.

- Back to me now. This idea of filming is so alluring to me. Who knew making youtube videos can be so fun. Currently sitting at barnes and nobles story boarding the whole thing. Simply trying to build of this craft and to continue to do things I find fun.
