the newbie episodes

now i wanted to come in naive and ignorant.. i went to my new gym last Sunday afternoon.. t'was quite so i was having a ball.. sorta my little show.. only one instructor was around.. i could've use a walkthrough with the equipments but heck, modesty aside, nothing there i couldn't figure out..

the instructor was nice enough to just leave my sorry ass alone, thank you.

i went right away bangin' the dumbbells.. i've been meaning to "eat" 'em first.. shesh, 75 pounds of pressing and i'm gassed... losing strength, to be exact.

to think i just came back (for the nth time) from a grand vacation and i was warming up with those heavy dumbbells already.. what the...?

the succeeding sessions weren't a breeze but i was getting the hang of it.. people around couldn't help but stare.. "whose this noob lifting like shet already, eh?" "is he warming up with those?" "what the heck is that amateur doing?"



whatevs.

anyhoo, 120 pounds is a tall order, mate. if i can't carry those dumbbells by the end of this year, i won't feel bad.. looking at them is just plain intimidating.. it'll be an honor, rewarding and super feel good if i can get pass over those weights on the day i 'sorta' promise myself i'll conquer 'em.

uhm.. next year? we'll see..

anyway, another buddy arrived today... we'll go party yet again.. hopefully that NJ dude can come with us... if he hasn't flown back yet.. whatever, i'm ready to rock.. smelling good and dressed for the occassion... i happened to have a place to clean up now.. hee hee..

by the way, that night we hang out with my NJ pal, it was a very expensive trip and one helluva night to remember.. my apologies, but that's how far i can afford to spill.. the rest, i'll keep to my chest..
