Month: February 2016

I’m not taking things for granted. I’m well aware that I am lucky, and this may well be one of the best times of my life.

I’m making money, Dad and Mom are relatively healthy and happy, they are great to me.
I have Norm as a very good friend, I have Brodie who is nice to me, teaches me volleyball, and turns me on right now. I have mastermind friends. I have Vanthony, Masha, Anna and Wilson, Jing, Cyndi, Nicole, Cat, Deeann.

I’m 35. Still young.

Gotta love life, live life, live large.

Arrived in Victoria today.

Been thinking about Brodie a lot. It’s getting harder and harder to consider him a platonic friend. I have to remind myself that his personality is not my type.

I just checked out some of this FB photos. He was in Thailand in 2013, and he was doing some Muay Thai fighting. It showed him looking really badass and…topless! Ok, it’s confirmed. His body is hotttt.

He obviously also took some of the photos himself in Thailand. I’ve never seen such depressing photos of such a happy place. Beautiful pics and great quality, but depressing. It’s as though those are photos of a deserted island with ancient civilization that was once prosperous.

Brodie is a great catch – amazing body, good face, smart, kind, talented in many areas, responsible, and is financially sound. I also like that he is very unassuming. Confident but not obnoxious. He’s got so many great qualities. But, he is not someone who can laugh hard, or make you laugh hard, or make you think. Tyler has those traits. Who else does? Hmmm….very few people. Matthew is not a deep thinker. Patrick…I don’t know. There were times when he was funny and we laughed so much…and he made me think. But, he is changing. And he is not in my life right now.

Right now just Brodie is in my life. I think about him more than I thought I would. It’s hot when the person is in their elements, doing their best. He is so amazing at volleyball…better than anyone on any court Thursdays. He is so good at teaching me too.

I think he can be my motivation for becoming fit and becoming good at volleyball. I want to be my best for him, so he can be proud of me and be attracted. I know that he already trains with his neighbour, someone who is not active (a girl though). I need to train with someone (maybe Vanessa).

First, I want to get familiar with crossfit. I’ll take the 6 session intro. This will teach me how to do weights.

Second, if I like it I’ll try out a drop in.

Third, chances are I won’t like crossfit, so I’ll train with Vanessa. Or, I think training with youtube celeb Jillian Michaels would be effective…but I’ll need to train alone, or with someone like Nicole who doesn’t already have a gym membership.

Brodie trained me for volleyball today! It was fun, but I’m so achey and covered in bruises.

My knees and forearms are completely bruised.

Brodie was really nice. I picked him up at around 9:15. We started at around 10am at the Cloverdale Rec Centre in Surrey. He taught me ’til around 1pm.

We took lots of talking breaks, mainly because I was too tired and in too much pain.

We practiced diving. It was so painful.

He told me about the coordinate system used in volleyball, and my mind was blown! I had no idea the game can get this complex. He was really good.

The time block for adult drop in was only until 11:15, but they let us stay ’til the toddlers started to show up at the other half of the gym. It was a crossfit madness for the totts! bicycles, a dozen different kinds of balls, goals, mats. We were eventually surrounded by little kids, so we left.

At the common area, just before leaving we even played a bit of foosball!

Brodie was quite wonderful. Mermaid clock working on me and he is pretty attractive looking lately. But, one thing that won’t change is that he isn’t very funny. I know from being with Norm that this level of funny will drive me nuts if we were to have a relationship. So I keep reminding myself what I would say, if he ever gets interested in me.

But he is probably only mildly interested as well. He is pretty good about not making a move on me. Likely I actually don’t have to be concerned with that. He is, like me, attractive enough to get models, and really really hot people. I pale in comparison I’m sure. And vice versa.

I do like his body though, and, my body reacts to it. I got horny when I came home, even though my mind was focused on made-up people.

Not the same as with Jackson…. That was a much bigger turn-on…even nicer bod, and he was hitting on me hard.

But I like where we are at. I hope we can keep being friends. Good friends.

I don’t want to ruin our platonic relationship, yet, I don’t want to talk about other guys in front of him to make it too clear that we are platonic. He ain’t my gay friend haha.

Tiffany messaged me a few days ago. CNY is near, and Dad spent time with the Yeh Family, playing majong etc.

Tiffany messaged to say that my dad looked great! And said he was bragging about me.

I was a little surprised, that how much my success impacts Dad. It means he has so much more face in front of the Yeh family. It means he can brag about me.

That’s cool.

He called me the next day. He explained that he told the Yeh family that I can expect to earn $200K USD by next year. Well, technically I think I did this year already!

It’s smart of him to describe my success in future tense thought. I just learned recently that people are more interested in the potential of big success as opposed to current success. He is smart. He says he is doing it to get them interested in working with me.

I’m so happy that Dad was happy!

 

My net worth is about $465K CAD right now, which is over $100K more than last year! I need to make another $300K USD then I’ll have $800K CAD saved up, which in theory will allow me to generate $50K passive income per year (about $4K per month). Then Mom and Dad can each have $2K per month.

Though in reality I do need some spending/living money, I do need some money to invest in more products, some of my existing money is in RRSP, and, I probably won’t be able to give all $800K into dividend-generating investments.

So more likely, I’ll put as much as I can each year towards diversification and dividend-generating stocks, building towards $800K or even more, so Mom and Dad can have $2K per month. Next year I can set aside $100K to $300K.
