Tired from my gym workout and eating pizza while resting at the moment.

The master has an injury on his eyelid. A bruise and he is lucky the arnis stick didn't made it to his eyeballs otherwise he'll be blind now.

They got sparring sessions yesterday with his fellow seniors. The usual activity we also do during practices before I enrolled to the BSEE program.

It is normal for us to get injured during the sparring sessions. One time I lost control and hit his ribs. At another instant he lost control and hit my elbow for breaking and though I didn't feel the pain at that time, it took me 3 days before I felt it and my elbow joint got injured. Months before it healed. At other times like when I got a fresh wound from an accident during my run where my knees were partly peeled, the blunt metal swords we were using were slicing on those fresh wounds.

Need to be more efficient on my studies so I can allocate time for the Sunday practice.

More pressure but that is fine.

But now I have a problem. A big problem.

Last time before I went into the BS Electrical Engineering schooling, I was spending Saturday training with the master in the martial arts both empty hands and weapon based.

I decided to drop that practice session because I know my schooling will demand more time from me which is actually the case.

The training sessions were more than enough for actual combat and were focusing on excellence back then, it was more about the actual preparation for the black belt which will involve a 10 man real fight and is a mixed of empty hands and weapons. All goes no holds bar. One should pass that fight in order to get the black belt.

I already removed that plan but then this afternoon while at the gym the master opened up to me about the plan to create a group that will consist of black belts. That means the members all will undergo rigid training aiming to pass that 10 man fight to get the black belt and the master put my name as one of the group's officer.

I told him it's going to be a responsibility which I might not be able to meet for the officer role due to my hectic work and schooling schedule but he said that will be fine.

That means I will be back on martial arts rigid training but this time it will be Sundays until we are all ready for the actual 10 man fight test for the black belt.

More discussion on the business plan with the master back at the gym.

My martial arts master is a Christian and devoted Roman Catholic while I am a Muslim and we co-exist peacefully.

The master also briefed me on the nuances of intelligence because I told him next year I will take it together with either demining or post blast investigation.

Told him I finished the counter-terrorism training on explosives and he was proud of me and we discussed about the IED's mostly used by the armed communist rebels.

Came back from the gym. I was not expecting to see my master there but he was there so we discuss a lot of things,

Got my running shoes with a very good stitches all around making my shoes sturdy and ready for running.

At the gym atm working out.

Head still smoking. Time to get my running shoes and do some gym workouts.

Reviewing key areas in the 1st periodic for maths in order to strengthen the fundamentals.

Eating pizza, will attend a metaverse event inworld to socialize with friends, and study maths.

Cancelling the planned gym workouts this evening. Will move it for tomorrow so I don't spend more for new gym membership.

I guess I'll come back to the other gym because they are open until 2200H while the one from the master is only up to 1900H.

Didn't get the eggs from the grocery as they don't have 2 dozen trays and I think market stalls are now closed. Will get the eggs tomorrow.

In the meantime I'm waiting for my pizza order.

Eating goto beef with oxtail at the roadside at the moment while waiting for my turn on the nearby saloon.

Stitch for both my running shoes are expensive because it's plastic fiber.
