The Reality Show

Howdie! I hope you guys don't get bored when I always seem to start my blog entry with a summary of what happened in the week. Pardon me but I guess I can only start it this way since being in the army pretty bores me and I just have to thrash it all out briefly to get it over and to look forward to a new week. I mean, not exactly looking forward, more like I'm forced to.

So anyway, our CO has pushed all plans of outfield exercises till April and May just to make way for us to train for our IPPT and SOC for the whole month of March since the first year window period is closing soon. It is really lame. We are slogging our asses out and perspiring like mad just because our CO wants to achieve the Best Unit award. Seriously, army life can be so meaningless sometimes. But do I have a choice? Obviously not.

Let's see, Monday and Tuesday got a "surprise" motivation talk course by some retired RSM who has become "enlightened" and has now come up with some motivation speech. He is hired for $5000 in a span of 2 days just because our CO hopes to train us mentally so we can perform well in IPPT. That was undescribably lame. Yeah, the talk was interesting at times, but most of the time I was just dozing away. So in the end, waste of time. They shouldn't give such prep talk to army guys. We are already burdened enough.

Wednesday and Thursday went through physical training. Was aiming for Gold for my IPPT. I have earlier passed my SOC on my first attempt. So was just concentrating on my IPPT. All along, my IPPT result is SILVER all the way. I managed to get gold standards for every single station except my 2.4km run which is really quite a challenge. And I just took IPPT test today. Guess what? I was only 10 seconds away from getting GOLD!! My timing was 9.54!! But it was a vast improvement for me. The next test will be on next Wednesday. My sergeant major had plans to focus on me and a group of silver elites. So hopefully he wants us to bring along glory. Yawnz. If not that I don't have a choice, I would rather be satisfied with a Silver. But I know I should always test my limits. And I do enjoy trainings. At least I have a 6-pack in exchange now, though it can be more defined. Lol. So I shall run with a smile no matter what! I LOVE TRAININGS I LOVE TRAININGS. Now get that right.

Sorry if the stuff above bores you. It kinda bores me writing about army. But I have no choice. I have to vent it out. Sorry I have stained you my poor bloggie. Ok so now let's talk about other stuff.

Hmm, sometimes I wonder, is it that hard for a guy and a girl to maintain just a platonic relationship? Why is it that it seems like an obligation to many that once a guy gets to know a girl, they got to be together? For me, I'm still the old-fashioned kind of guy who would want a near-perfect girl for a girlfriend and I would want my relationship to last! But the thing is, it seems somehow impossible in this real world.

Somehow, the unreal seems more appealing than the real, don't you think so? I mean, look at the real stuff. Wood rots, stone crumbles, and humans die eventually. Now look at the unreal. A legend lives forever, fairytales are "happily ever after", and the virtual world has simply no boundaries, free for you to explore... So the moral is? Worship the unreal.

I am real though. But I like to be unreal sometimes.

But people always say, get real. So what say you? Are you real too?
