it fits perfect

riding a bus on our way to Bogo made me think how hard it is to be a bus driver.. imagine how difficult it is to maneuver it from Cebu traffic... with roads mostly made up of two lanes, even lesser built automobiles find it tricky to move around... on our trip back to the city, i opted to close my eyes while we're on the move... it's surreal to imagine how this driver managed to drive as fast as that in mostly narrow roads... well, evidently, the driver had trouble shifting gears as the bus had a manual transmission... the engine practically went off a few times.. so, to all the bus drivers out there, you guys rock (except for the Rough Rider drivers)!!

well, i got promoted... in the forum... haha! so, here's how i went to climb the forum career ladder: from being a mere member.. to board moderator.. to a global moderator (GM), then to a site keeper (SK).. whew! it would have been great if this was a money generating career move... i would have been earning my six figure salary by now.. unfortunately, it's not as popular as iSTORYA.NET or the rest of the Philippines' community forums... but of course, i am happy with the experience and with the handful of people i've met.. a number of them speaks of different interest and are sensible to converse with... and as always, i enjoy learning a few tricks along the way..

ahhhh... i haven't been to my friend's bar.. it's not so cool to go out these days y'know... it's been raining like crazy a few days back and his bar, as i saw it, doesn't have anything (yet) to cover people who hang in there for a drink.. last time i was there, he had his right hand covered with a handkerchief. what caused it? he crashed his brand new second hand car! he went home 4am.. not too drunk but drowsy.. much like me when i crash my bike into the curb last year. well, it happened to him in a bad time.. he told me the bar is still struggling to break even and he just quit his job.. i was gonna be his partner again in that bar but my guts was churning "NO!" well, we (the rest of the previous crew) weren't that optimistic with the place and i thought we wouldn't give it a go but he went ahead instead with another of our partner and some of their friends... hopefully, things would turn around soon in his business venture.

hopefully, i can go there later tonight..

meanwhile, as i was beginning to get confident with my new found strength, i got a bit of a shocker when i went to the gym a little late one day... there i found the guys who could qualify for power lifting competition! as in WTF?!?

these guys are wackos! they must have a bone made of steel cos the way they were lifting weights, t'was unthinkable! deym, deym... my confidence meter jump from 100 to 0.

sigh. it's a long way to go for me but a least i've got a few mileage goin' already.. so, it ain't that bad.. well, no more summer outings, weekend beerfest, monthly forum EB's, sexy co-workers to flaunt with, etc... where can i get that much needed motivation to press on these days, huh?

i guess i don't need any of that anymore. it's part of my daily routine now.. a hard habit to break.. and as my namesake, the Gov. Arnold said it suavely, "Pain means progress." so, if i continue to hit it hard in the gym and still feel those darn pain even when i'm in bed, i'm right on the money, beybee!
