Holy....

hai! yeah, it's been a while.

haven't been busy really. ok, a bit.

had a lot activities going on. this summer had been nothing but adventure, thank you.

we went to an island somewhere north. it's called Camotes. beautiful place. you should go sometimes.

we were there during the holy week doing un-holy things... what else is new, huh?

three days and two nights to be precise.

because we got too drunk and were nursing a bad hangover, we only managed to get to two tourist spot.

no regrets there. if you think about it, we were lucky to get by.

going there was an absolute nightmare considering the many people who decided to go there at that time.

we went early around seven in the morning, but got on the boat around two in the afternoon. we were in three groups and bought our vehicles with us. we almost had to leave ours because the ship could not accommodate anymore vehicle that day.

we got on-board alright but had to shell out more cash cos my company decided to get it "fix".

anyway, it was a nice place we stayed in. although, brown outs hit us in those two successive nights we spent there. the supply was just not enough for the demand. mosquitoes were amazingly rare, thanks to the good Lord above.

long story short, we got back in one piece and wasted all the way!

coming soon... next episode.

in the meantime, here are some images for your viewing pleasure... naks!

of graduation, booze and the children

soooo effing tired today.

at this early, dreamland is tempting.

that had been life for me this far... it's peaks and valleys.. then downhill all the way!

some people are gonna get bored living this way. i ain't though.

i mean, i had my time partyin' it up.. going places.. adventure.. the lot!

this is me now.

guess i'm getting old. no more energy. zest for fun, zit!

i don't even play PC games anymore, WTF?

most of my beer bud, gone.

perfect!

i was at the grocery earlier and was watching all those beer-in-cans, ya know, the six packs, then passed by the liquor area.. thought half a sec - then went straight to the beverage section and got me some Chuckie. that yum-yum chocolate milk drink, that's what i'm pouring in my cup right now.

anywho, alcohol is bad for recovery as it increases cortisol, that muscle wasting hormone that does nothing good to your physique, so better avoid it especially these days when i'm supposed to waste lotsa fat and keep 'em muscles.

i'm not saying nada tho.. i just had some rum-soda last thursday as it's my officemate's son graduation. "drink moderately" was in effect that night. LOL

meanwhile, Neil graduated from elementary too. boy, the kid is a handful, tell ya that. i hope he'd find something good where he can focus his attention to and not on something useless.



i dunno but maybe my little angel mitch is also one of the driving factor of why i'm "cool" these days.. meaning, i'm not partying up and go crazy. instead, i've been workin' hard, exercise, rest well and do something meaningful in life rather than waste away in reckless abandon and not a care in the world.



dunzo.

lets perk it up!

now, lets talk about training now, shall we?

i wasn't gonna go to the gym today cos i had a bad case of sleep deprivation, thanks to wifey and Neil partying 'til 1am, got me all worried waiting for their asses to arrive.

ended up sipping a few glasses of vodka to sorta calm me down.

they arrived, thank you. was able to hit the sack around 2am.

ended up taking a half day leave from work and argued with myself no end whether i should hit the iron or just call it a day.

i choose the former.

man!!!!

my dumbbell (DB) press is still stuck at 90 pounds. what am i to do? do it three days per week. by week three, i should set a new personal record (PR).

hopefully.

the rest of the big guns had gone up considerably. squats and deadlifts are almost at 400 pounds, barbell (BB) row's over 200 pounds.

looking good, yeah?

the presses, however, are my waterloo.

well, i guess, i can't have 'em all, is it?

but i'll push it.

lookin' forward.

beee zeee

yowsa!

after a long weekend, i got a plateful of work waiting on my table.. geez!

thus.

well, it was nice there.. ya know, the beach we spent our saturday and easter sunday.. t'was surprisingly peaceful while the rest of the beach nearby, or the beach near our place was pretty crowded and rowdy.. whaddya expect? it's summer and an easter, homs..

unfortunately, we came with lotsa excess baggage.. not to mention, the company wifey choose to hang out with, they're kinda 'different.' apples and oranges, anyone?

i didn't got drunk even with the two cases of beer we brought along.. almost fifty bottles to be precise.. tsk.. tsk..

well, made up for the lag time swimming -- a lot.. the resort is equipped with a pool and a mini-gym.. they should've called it tiny-gym.. cos it's soooooo tight there.. at least i had a few good sets.. work with whatever you have, right?

gawd, i miss the beach, so i went down and smoke 'em away! ha ha!

surprisingly, i still have "it" even if it's been eons since i last dipped on a pool slash beach..

Neil had a blast! he's pretty confident with his strokes, ya know, that doggy kinda way of keeping yourself afloat.. he probably lost a few pounds hanging around the pool, like the whole day!

be back for more news... can't wait to watch this:



chow!

come together now

hey yo!

took a leave today... what can i say, i oversleep, dam'it!

the culprit? it's the darn brandy!

i got carried away..

sipping my poison while watching the pictures of my former officemates who had since went on their separate ways, i felt nostalgic.. wow, it's almost surreal.. it'll be my 10th year this year working for the same old company that my boss' started with me and a handful of gals and guys on-board as a pioneering employee..

now, we've grown leaps and bounds.. like we have branches all over the place.. many had come and go, but here i am, still standing among the few who were there from the get go.

why i'm still here? read back, honey!

guess i miss a lot of things... my former forum-mates, the guys i've worked with before, the beach, my brothers, a sister, my late ma and pa... hhhmmmmm.. i can go on forever.

lights out.

smooth and slick

buzz!!

heyp! supp??

last night was pretty... my niece came by. he hails from my late momma's hometown. good to know he's gone richer as the days go by.

whenever we gather around, me, my pal, Earl and him, we love reminiscing the good ol' days.. ya know, i'm just 5 years older than him.. when he went to college, he stayed in our apartment.. so yeah, we're kinda like best pal instead of that dorky uncle-niece kinda like relationship.

those were fun days... we had lotsa time in our hands to do the darnest thing... on top of it all, i kinda dished in whatever "lessons" i can impart to him.. i dunno.. i barely remember one, but the dude loves to pick my brains out.

after all these years, i never thought those "lessons" i taught him would haunt me... well, there are good, bad and ugly things i taught him.. one thing stands out, he got richer, albeit, being shrewd..

i couldn't possibly lay claim to whatever "savvy-ness" in business he's got as this kid is a licensed Civil Engineer... in short, he eats Math for breakfast.. i don't. i puke with just a mere mention of it.

it's just that he oftentimes recall the things i said before and he kind of apply it - literally.

last night, whilst we had our drinking bout, he was being grateful for all the things he learned, and quotes the things i said before every now and then... to show how filthy rich he's become, he gladly foot our bills.. whattaman!!

anyway, looking at him now and how he kinda confuse things morally, not that i have so much to begin with, i had mixed feelings..

did i made the right impression??

yep, he's doing good and well, but what about his beliefs? i wouldn't mind if he was just a friend.. thinking and doing things like he does.. but he's my relative.

i'm his role-model. i may have 'cause' him to think otherwise such that he's slick with his business dealing, but on the other side of the coin, i may have corrupted his mind.

man, i'm confuse.

more muscles in less time

everyday seems to be "whatta day!!" these days.

gotta learn how to manage my time better... i'm kinda engrossed with something... uhm, you wouldn't wanna know.. ha ha!

tomorrow it is.

the dawn of a new beginning...

it's like this:

i'm trying to go the extra mile practically with everything.. work had been that since forever..

at home however, is a whole new ball game.. all the things i'm doing now, i kinda do them sporadically before.. we used to have a helper and a boozer in-law around the house.. the helper had been gone since last year, thanks to that taxi driver slash lover-boy who often distracts her by texting her all the time... they both eloped in no time!

the boozehound bro-in-law, however, left about two weeks ago.. he must've been scared i'd beat-up his ass again after he soaked himself up with alcohol for the nth time and left the house wide open to the robbers' delight. thankfully, no one dared to rob us.. not that there's anything much to rob, to begin with...

no stacks of jewelries or money stashed somewhere... just old school appliances and of less value stuffs, i guess.

so there.. now, we're just threesome in most days.. me, wifey and kiddo... well, six if you include the dogs.. twenty if you count the white ladies, some disturbed souls, ghost, etc.. etc..

either ma-in-law comes by during the weekend or my half-sis during weekdays.. other than that, we're it. just threesome.

so yeah, gotta step up.. wake-up early, do the dishes, the laundry, prepare food for the day, feed the dogs, etc.. sex life is goin' down the drain, homs.. barely to nil night life..

it's not that i'm not used to this.. i've had worst.

it's just the little tweaking that had to be made.. fine, major adjustments!

kinda stressful sometimes.

anyway, i'm still happy and thankful. Neil has grown up big and i can already let him do some household chores..

best of all, i'm still eating iron... HARD!

chow down.

ass to grass

olah!

been really tardy as of this late.. in all aspects!

tsk.. tsk..

hope to turn things around.

work had been riding me since forever.. i'd rather not talk about it.

workout, however, is doin' good... shoulder's feelin' fine.. but it's a day-to-day 'watch, see and feel' kinda thing... gotta be real careful this time... been doin' extra mile on lotsa stuff.. gotta step up and fill the void at home.. i like it this way though.. be totally independent from helpers and everyone.. gotta DIY if you wanna get things done.. don't wait for someone to step it up for ya.. pick up the pace..

can't worry about shit.. life's too short to worry 'bout anything..

seize the day and enjoy every sec of every moment.. we may never pass this way again.. i only had a shot of brandy and i'm talking this way already.. wait 'til i get another.. LOL!

night.. night..
