it has come into conclusion.
wait, make that a few hours more and sister's off to the land of the milk and honey.
one more driving to go and it is done.
i really can't complain even if i wanted to. she rarely comes home and it's usually in a short span of time. twelve days to be precise.
and she's been of a real help to us.... to all of us her siblings, in fact.
sadly, i get the sole duty of driving her and her friend (including her friend's entourage) around whenever and wherever they pleases... and boy, it's just exhausting.
the waiting is worst.
anyway, we didn't do anything "super" this time around... in the future, we hope to make her vacation a lot, lot better.
that's not a promise..
it's a deal.

limo drivin' fatass
it's been a helluva week, huh?!?
been driving around town like almost on a daily basis. gotta say, drivers of public utilities and those who do it regularly cos it's their job, they have earned my respect.
i mean, it's not easy driving around this place. i drive a motorcycle and i don't have a problem skirting through traffic and just go in and out like a fly. basically, i can get through my destination half the time (even less) as compared to a four-wheeled vehicle.
since sister arrived last week, i had the sole duty of driving her around wherever she and her company pleases. to think i'm driving an automatic transmission vehicle, it would have been less burdensome, but hell no!
it's crazy out there. utility vehicles cutting you off with zest! people crossing the streets, ya know, the kind where they'd walk across the street then look later if there's an incoming vehicle? in short, dumbass!
oh man, i can count forever the many ways i would rather not be driving around with a cage rather than a bike. it's no wonder how a lot people get killed or shot at or whacked by some road rage assholes and whatnot, cos it's a freakin' jungle out there!
it just takes away the fun of driving.
well, it's not over yet... there's still a lot of hours left to log on - driving.
yaiks!
training had to take a back seat.
but would you be surprise if my strength had gotten really crazy wicked? well, lemme tell you why.... coz i'm freaking FAT again!
we've been having a lot of that brainsickening ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT buffet, that's what.
since i'm fat and obese nowadays, i better be freakin' strong.. and i am. anyway, when sister leaves and the holy week, over, the plan is to lean out again. i know the drill -- been there, done that.
i've set some serious PR's while i'm here sitting fat as fuck. but, even while i'm strong, i don't feel healthy. my BP's at borderline high and at some point, i feel weird.
so, NO, being huge and a strong mofo at the same time, isn't good for the health in the long run. gotta scale back while i'm not as huge as THIS GUY yet.

Microsoft Xbox
well, well, well....
it's been rather disappointing this far.... the "plan" to make this whole shebang of things worthwhile... we're pretty suck in some people's issues and they kinda rub us their shitty drama i would rather forget.
i'm probably looking at things the wrong way, or my expectations weren't met, or i probably set the bar a tad too high, thus this feeling.
whatever it is, we still have roughly six days to turn this thing around and make the most out of this exceptional opportunity.
or, it's downhill from hereon in now.
tsk.. tsk..
why do i feel like a pessimist in all of these?

Big Sister
when El DeBarge got caught in some drug bust, i remember my sister... she just loves this guy way back then...
speaking of which, sistah's comin' home this Saturday.. after five looooonggg years. wow, i am stoked! there will be a moment of awkwardness, that's a given, but it won't last forever. trust me.
by the grace of the good Lord above, i'll be happy just to see her again after that long period of absence. never mind them pasalubong (homecoming gifts), although, i wouldn't mind having a few ones here and there... hehe
can't wait for the adventure... i'll definitely make the most out of it -- i mean, WE, will make this a time, a moment -- that we will remember and cherish for the rest of our living years.
that's the hope.

connecting...
what i posted yesterday, i thought this documentary, Catfish pretty much sums it up... of how gullible people can be. well, this was rather a case of an elaborate false pretense to the highest level.
and worst, THIS news is just tragic. i mean, how the hell did she went naked and show it to some stranger? just read the story and see what i mean.
that's how, sadly, most people have become. all for social network.
gotta check out my status, updates and whatnot.. hehe
later.

gullible and skimpy
so i've read that a lot of people, young girls doing all that skimpy pose on facebook just so they could get all them million "likes." man, some people, huh?
why are people so gullible with that stupid thing anyway. some would update every second what's the status of their daily lives? c'mon, could you be more lunatic than that? for fuck sake babe, do something productive other than staring and waiting at somebody "liking" your photo or whose itching to bed you, err, i mean, wanna befriend ya.. what's happening to the world, dawg?!?
speaking of skimpy, is it me or is it that almost girls on the streets are wearing short-shorts? i mean, wow! they are all over the place, bud.
once when i was at KFC and went to queue for my order. in front of me are two lovebirds who seem to can't get enough of each other. the girl was wearing, you guess it, that skimpy little short and boy, was it distracting.
when i had my order and was on my table, i sat down facing the opposite of those lovebirds cos i didn't wanna get distracted.. well, i was pretty famish at that time and all i really care about was how to go about gobbling my food.
next thing i knew, another one came in with the same get-up, only this time, she had a more shapely pair of legs and her shorts. well, a few inches more and it'll look like its her undies already. this one's worst cause she was waltzing around back and forth between her friends and in front of me.. she was on the phone and she kept talking like forever... evil thoughts just run around my darn brain... to think i tried avoiding that kinda view and here comes another who really push my buttons.. the kinda make you go horny. that.
so, that's what i've noticed lately. everywhere, it seems like everyone with a vagina and a nice pair of legs are into that kinda fashion. even our help in the house are wearing it... sometimes, less.
geeeezzz!!!
and that's all i can say about that.

marry the night
we was gonna go party-party tonight but my pal had me waiting for hours, motha... no can't be. honestly, i look forward to weekends since i've started going out again a few months back. i'm kinda awed when i see them beautiful ladies ramping around waltzing on our way.. really, it's like all these flashy cars such as a lambo or a porsche or them h1's or that lincoln stretch, man, you only see them beauties at night!
i kinda feel young again and my heart beats as fast as 'em that furious flick...
but waiting isn't one of my best virtues. i just go impatient and bored... i think about my little baby and i feel really bad that i'm wasting away time being away from her sweet little smile (though i was watching that documentary Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. an eye opener. you should watch it) whilst waiting for his shift to conclude... feels like a desperate girlfriend waiting for Romeo to finally arrive.
so yeah, i go "lets do this some other time, bud." besides, there's still work tomorrow and we'd usually finish our little adventure in the wee hours of the morning... usually hammered and all, as useless.
i can, though, trade all that fun with a simple cuddlin' with my little baby or spend it with my grown up kid, Neil messing with them bad guys playin' Call of Duty. we kinda compete who gets to win or has more kills... while i sip some GrandMa.. no, that grandma, ya creep, it's that brandy!
anyhow, when time and opportunity permits, i'd still go out and hang around... strut 'em biceps for all to see.. ha ha!!
speaking of biceps, i haven't done any direct bicep exercise for, like a month or two now. i've focus on getting my bench numbers up.. i gotta say, i've upped my stats on that lift and not only that, i've somehow perfected the proper form of doing it. i can honestly say that before this year ends, notwithstanding injuries or whatnot, i'm gonna hit 250 pounds... that's my modest forecast. and that 120 pounds of dumbbells sitting around there barely used, it'll be mine... i will own that darn weight.
so God help me.
now that i've mentioned God, though there were times i doubted Him, i gotta say that when i called His name for help (aren't we like that? calling God when we're stuck on a foxhole or in difficult times?), He almost always does.
thank you, thank you good Lord above.

the Corruptor
"Corruption is our protection.
Corruption keeps us safe and warm.
Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets.
Corruption is why we win. "
from the movie, Syriana.
why i quote that? well, a lot of people think they are holier than thou... as if they aren't corrupted as well. hah!
look in the mirror, buddy.
really hard.
i'll count the ways... later.
fact of the matter is, we are hard-wired to do the sinful thing. that's not a new concept. it's written and had been proven a million.. no, make that a gazillion times.
naw, before you crucify me, read history. in fact, read Genesis 3.
come back here when you're enlightened.
chiaow!

one moh..
once when i had i really bad case of hangover... turn up my walkman phone's FM radio and tuned to some "always first..." station.. this song played and i kinda like it.
the hangover didn't go away but at least, it didn't got worst either.

my strength had been pretty on the roof lately. must have been, that i've found the "holy grail" of training.
sadly, it's a bit late. why?
well, age is catching up with me... it's also worth mentioning that the wear and tear is quiet obvious and evidently felt on my right elbow.
it's been nagging me for months now.. either i take a looooong break, have this check and worst case scenario get it operated on or, am just gonna man the F-up and solder on.
it's not like it's unbearable. just annoying.
i'm depress right now because of this.
anyway, googling some studies on this matter.. what's causing the pain and how to go about it.
emo post, done.

of PR's and explosion
two. three. one.
yes, i one-rep-max two hundred and thirty one pounds of iron today.. not too shabby, yeah?
i did the max effort method. just load the bar one bit at a time then rep it for three 'til things got heavy.. then when i'm about nearing my max, i just went for singles. took a three minute break in-between. that's what's nice when i do bench on Sundays. i don't have to worry about the next person who might wanna use the rack cos it's really quiet on Sundays.
plenty of time to recuperate and not rush into another set cos mr. quarter bencher can't wait to use the effing equipment.
i wish i can do that weight for reps like what i see in Youtube where metheads just go do it like it's too darn easy.
it would probably take a good forever to bump the weights up, but hey, whatever man, as long as i'm inching forward i'm happy.
some days, you're the strongest freak, but on some, you just feel flat.
my right elbow had been feeling surreal though... i wish the nagging pain would just go away. guess it comes with the territory and well, old age. thanks to the good Lord above, i don't feel anything other than... hmmm lemme check. LOL!
brag: OFF.
by the way, i, or we did have an explosion days prior, but that would be posted some other time and in really , really cryptic way that you have to be a rocket scientist to figure out wuz dem explosion all about. hee hee..

kamikaze!
been having one of that drink as of late... pretty smooth, but deadly.
anyway, i had a few scares today. there was an earthquake late this morning. i didn't felt it as i was too busy explaining to a client whilst inside a vehicle. only knew about it after i got off the pick-up... when people started talking about it and how powerful it was.
a lot of people have a tale to tell of their experience... how people panic and just sprint their way out of the building like they've been training for it like ages...
the one that got me scared shit-less was when people started talking about the tsunami and that it's supposed to have hit downtown already. that kinda creep me out as i had with me a customer's car and i'm at a place where it's pretty boxed-out... ya know, bumper-to-bumper and there's no way to exit smoothly.. worst, the effing inspector whose supposed to picture the car was taking his sweet time and didn't get his ass on the job... at least not after i did some follow-ups of his whereabouts - twice!
when i finally took off, boy, the traffic outside was ridiculous!
cars and people were scampering... to get to high ground! it was just a nightmare.. people were overreacting and it just made the situation a lot, lot worst.
after the earthquake and the tsunami scare, some folks were crying actually.
then an hour ago, another earthquake was felt again. this time, i got into the action. i was here sitting with my little girl, she just woke up. my first reaction? i just sat down... waited... then it stop. just a few seconds, three to four, tops.
Neil got up from his sweet slumber and started running around the house saying "there's an earthquake!"
he went up to me and i told him "yep, there was."
and he goes "what'ya did?"
i go "i just sat here and waited for it to stop... i actually held my breath a tad."
and he goes how he fell down from running out of his room in school today in panic.
STAY CALM.
that's all i can say about that. don't be too easy-peasy, but, don't panic either. you ain't gonna get killed with them earthquakes and tsunamis, you'll either die of a heart attack, stampede and/or the likes.
got it?
capish?
good.
update:
another one went off again at 19:36 and again.. and again. must be them aftershocks.

i wasn't gonna hit the iron today cos it's Sunday... who has no life who workout's on Sundays, huh? well, i didn't really have much of a choice. we had a brownout since last night 'til the mid-morning.... man, was it HOT and boring?!?
UGH!!!
since i couldn't dump cos we didn't have water on the tank no more and, worst, i couldn't take a bath! imagine that?!?
lets wander....
last night i got pretty hammered and wind up with somebody who had like a Mabuhay Miles for being on the job since, uhm, 14 years ago? man, if you compare that to a car, it's like, have you been to the moon and back already?!?
notice there's no gender or thing mentioned here so feel free to draw your own conclusion... hik hik!
well, yeah, i got hammered and i wasn't "fit" to move some weights today. not!
now, lets go back to the topic on hand...
i gotta tell you man, it's nice to workout on Sundays... you kinda like own the place, if you catch my drift. it's especially true for me since, modesty aside, no one there is as strong as yours truly. in short, NOBODY. MESSES. WITH. THE. DUDE!!!! say it like Jim Carrey in that Ace Ventura movie, yeah? replace "DO" with "DUDE" and you're set.
lets hope today goes as planned.
take care now and enjoy the rest of the day....

lazzyy
lazy got down from the train... what that means is, i'm effing getting lazy again 'bout this thing right here! yaikz!
well, if i really think hard about it, i've been a bad boy at getting really lazy with everything, to be perfectly honest.
lazy with work, them workouts, the chores.. etc... etc..
i don't think i like this road i'm taking. after such a busy few weeks early this month, it's been pretty much downhill. guess i relaxed.. a bit too much... ya don't wanna know how... hik hik!
anyway, still knockin' some serious weights off and the strength had been short of outstanding, albeit less consistent.. getting enough rest in between workout days is definitely important to me now. i feel stronger when i'm fresh. so that means i just go by feel. if i feel like i haven't recovered fully enough, i'm not gonna force the issue. mostly, i'm good to go late afternoons whilst before, early morning was a habit.
i use to do a lot of cable pulldowns before... but my lats sored a lot, lot more doing pullups, chins and the neutral grip. i'm learning how to kipp so that when it gets harder to pull myself up, my legs kinda kick-up a bit to sorta give me momentum.. nice move.
indeed, there's so much to learn but so little time.. right now, i wanna yap s'more but... it's just it, i'm so primed for bed..
Happy Birthday to my best pal, Earl.. he's really older now.. better get married and have children already man!!!

anyway, still knockin' some serious weights off and the strength had been short of outstanding, albeit less consistent.. getting enough rest in between workout days is definitely important to me now. i feel stronger when i'm fresh. so that means i just go by feel. if i feel like i haven't recovered fully enough, i'm not gonna force the issue. mostly, i'm good to go late afternoons whilst before, early morning was a habit.
i use to do a lot of cable pulldowns before... but my lats sored a lot, lot more doing pullups, chins and the neutral grip. i'm learning how to kipp so that when it gets harder to pull myself up, my legs kinda kick-up a bit to sorta give me momentum.. nice move.
indeed, there's so much to learn but so little time.. right now, i wanna yap s'more but... it's just it, i'm so primed for bed..
Happy Birthday to my best pal, Earl.. he's really older now.. better get married and have children already man!!!

in the zone
gotta write in spurts here.. it's been one helluva jump start for 2012. things are slowing down though as i got everything under control. but just like any other time and any other given day, ya gotta be prepared for whatever's being thrown at you... or you'd get caught with yer panties, err, i mean pants down.
well, it is inevitable we'd slowed down. the production of our new models had been halted/delayed due to the flooding in Thailand last year. hopefully, by second quarter we'd go ballz-to-the-wallz again.
**
i feel pretty fresh in the gym as of late.. took a three day off. been focusing on the big lifts and lessen the accessory exercises.. it's pretty consistent at how i've managed to go there.. late afternoon slash early evening.. i think i'm stronger at these times.. it didn't matter how many jackasses are gonna be there or the number of poseurs or wannabees doing all sorts of stupid and crazy things.. i just go and get my lifts done and get out! the sooner the better.
since i had a long weekend, went to do squats and deadlifts on the same day. boy, did i fried my CNS! in fairness, i was strong as a bull... then earlier, my number in my 1RM with the bench was still the same, but.. my confidence with that lift had gone up! i have no more doubts of whether i can lift that weight.. it's a done deal.. next stop, two hundred thirty pounds (230 lbs).
that's a lot considering i fried my CNS the day before.. imagine if i was like well rested. it'd be awesome!
meanwhile, i gotta go sip some brandy coz i feel pretty edgy yet again... took jack3d for my pre-workout and the moment i lie down in bed, it feels weird. hmp!
one more thing, internet had been intermittent for quite sometime now, better get this fix, Smartbro people!
slurp... slurp...

I Explored
am still here... just a combo of being busy with work and catching up with the workouts cos man, they're pretty tight to synchronize these days.. you either do the one thing and just completely abandon the other. i'm talking about the "now" days. maybe when the dust settles and things at the office tapers off i can do more things again.
yesterday, i had the chance to take for a spin the new Ford Explorer. what a sweet ride! it was nerve wrecking at first, but heck, i did drove a BMW 7 Series before and it's probably priced at 100 to 150 percent more than the Explorer... that was a long time ago though thus the nerve!
if i win on a Lotto draw (which i haven't had the time to bet on), the Explorer will be on top of my wishlist. i'm not too familiar with its features but judging from what i've seen and tested so far, it is one hi-tech, freaking fast and muscular piece of ride!
well, it has a V6 engine for starters. the ignition - keyless. you just press a button and you get to start and stop the engine. the seat automatically adjust when you start the engine and it pulls back when you turn it off giving you ample space to move and easily exit the vehicle.
when you go on reverse, a video shows you the rear view. man, i can go on and on and on.... but simply put, it's no wonder that we have a long list of customers in the waiting list for this SUV cos Ford nailed this one perfectly!
learn more about it HERE.
in my job, it's one of the perks i get to enjoy.. i get to drive all sorts of car under Ford and at one time, BMW's but the top honchos of my company let the dealership go so they could focus more on Ford which is growing like a plague (pun intended) here in the Phil.
at first, i'm extra careful but as the vehicle and i gets comfortable, i put the pedal to the metal when opportunity arises. hee hee
well, that's all i have for you right now. if you've got a spare of around 2.4 million pesos, you might wanna buy one of that Explorer baby.. sweet deal for a sweet ride.

rain, rain...
more rain.
no.. not complaining here. not at all.
just, uh, bit bummer when you wanna go out and well, hang out.
your gonna get wet-ty.. if there's such a word.
compared to my brah, Earl who had his time in the middle east to seek greener pasture, and all that pain-in-the-ass story about enduring the heat and not having access to potable water.. (there was water alright, but it's laden with salt... cos them people uses sea water and process it to sorta mimic what we're here enjoying, the precious H2O, which by the way is so abundant that we're literally flooding all over the place!)
i'd rather soak and bathe in the rain.. everyday.
so yeah, if i have to make a choice, i don't mind having more water than otherwise. but you better learn how to swim cos by the looks of things, water from rain isn't exactly going away anytime soon and floods all over our country as well as some parts of the world is like the "IN" thing right now.
in the meantime, as to the job front, well, the year pretty much started with a bang for me. i'm swamped with work again these days!
kinda crazy to be honest. but i gotta keep it together. it's not the best time to snap or crack. basically, it's never an option.
just roll with the punches and hope to come out still in one piece.
hope tomorrow the mini-van is out from the shop. it's been sitting there for four months. wifey was nice enough to really ran it down to its last breath, then got a new one... then, completely left the former to rot in pieces.
how nice, huh?
i can't really do all the &^$* work cos i have tons of things to do myself. she's very dependent of me about these kinda thing ya know, having the vehicle checked-up, repaired, maintenance, etc. and it's really hard to make time when i'm just as swamped with my side of life.. however, when it's stuff that makes her happy or she enjoys doing, she'd gladly go do it or tag along with whatever's making her excited.
hah!
talk about priorities, yeah?
on the lighter side,
kidz just love this!

2012. in the beginning....
it's New Year yet again.. no, i don't do all that resolution crap. i find it bragging. but it's nice if you want to be accountable. in a way, it's good. at least you'll be pressured to really make do of what you've been saying... at the same time, it'd be nice for your friends to gloat over your big effed-up.. that is, if you fail to keep up with what you've been bragging... so, unless you wanna eat some humble pie for the nth time, ya better shape-up and make all of 'em resolution happen.. otherwise, ya might wanna keep 'em to yourself --- shut yer piehole!
choose your battle.
word.
well, what triggered that post above was whilst relieving myself at the comfort room in the office and reading some newspaper, i stumble on this section where showbiz personalities were asked of their new year's resolution.
whatever makes you sleep at night, hun.
meanwhile, i'm seriously thinking about migrating to wordpress.. have my own website, ya know. i should include studying web design and programming in my bucket list. the knowledge i'd get from that would be an awesome addition to my growing "toolbox."
it's not free anymore, though.
i'd like to risk a bit this year. try my luck on other fields. i was gonna post a long one tonight... only that at 21:10 i'm already feeling soporiferousness.. nice word, huh?
*yawn*
so, to make t h is l o n g story sshhZZzzzzzzz...
Saturday, December 31, 2011
well, whadyaknow? there'd been party all over and hanging out with friends.. thus.
anyway, it's almost New Year... are you feeling optimistic of the year to come? or is it really the end of the world, so we should party like it's the end of the world, ehy?
ah, whatever... we'll cross the bridge.
this last few days of this week had been fun! i couldn't really tell ya the nitty,sleazy gritty of things as it's quite *cough* *cough* "dark." hah! literally.
but it wasn't all fun cos as i've mentioned a few post below, the weather had been short of brutal these days and yeah, i had bouts of fever, flu, LBM... ya know, the works.
geezz, my BFF is here...
chiao everyone and have a Happy New Year!!!!

Gatorade
very handy.
in these times of drunkenness and hangover, you would wanna stock-up on them.
alcohol causes dehydration... thus.
remember though, this isn't about you.. or me...
Happy Birthday, Jesus!

nuff said.
what happened in Mindanao recently just shows how our world had decayed so fast. this year had been marred with catastrophe after catastrophe i've lost count.
in recent years, we all witnessed that too. tsk.. tsk..
it's just how it is. ya gotta stay positive.
anyway, holiday is coming up. i gotta tell ya, enjoy the cholesterol but keep things in moderation. at the end of the day, all of those thing you put inside your body, they are gonna come back to you in one way or another... remember the golden rule "what you sow, you shall reap."
here's sending you some positive vibration... and a happy holidays!

party, party!!!!
party here, party there, party everywhere!!!!
weeeeeee!!!!
i'm getting fat again!!!
anywho, this is all gonna come to pass. things are gonna go back to normalcy when January comes by...
that's the big hope.
after suffering some kinda bummed elbow, it just made my transition to the 5/3/1 program a lot, lot sooner than expected.. it's better this way as i barely overtrained.. everything's set so no more unnecessary skirting here and there.
better F-O-C-U-S.
the Excel spreadsheet wherein i chart my progress with them big lifts is also done.
meanwhile, four more days...

overtraining.. could kill
i finally hit a one RM (rep max) of two hundred twenty pounds (220 lbs) on my barbell bench press the other day. it was a glorious day for me! well, if you're a hardcore lifter, that ain't much really. some can even get twice, thrice, four times as heavy. in my case however, it's BIG cos i've been benching since many years back wrongly.
once i got the proper form and it happened not too long ago, the numbers went up, finally.
i got a little too excited and well, overtrained along the way. my right elbow is a bit sore. my shoulders and upper pec are probably inflamed. i know when i overtrained cos the next morning, my body feels unusually warmer.
i have to stop some upper pressing movements as of the moment.. instead, had some lower body exercises and did a lot of pull-ups, chins and neutral positions (palm facing each other)... in that particular order as it represents the hardest to the easy part.
just trying to train smartly now and listen to what the body's saying. ya don't wanna force the issue when you know you'll end up injured.
i'm gonna do Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 really soon and hope to stick by it. i'm a fan of his training style and no BS comments and advise... pretty straightforward. however, i don't like his music, religion and steroids. any other beliefs not related to training, i have to skip it.
two days later of doing all sorts of chest exercises, am still fried.
i really have to start tapering down on this thing.. i'm not getting any younger, aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
so. there.

Happy Christmas
so we just had our Christmas party last Saturday. as far as i can remember, it all went well. nothing exceptional happened.. especially with yours truly.
didn't got wasted to the point of blackout or did anything gutsy.. under the influence, anyone gets ballsy or do some of the stupidest unimaginable thing to mankind.. i should know, i had a few misfortunes like that.. heh!
for many years now, i haven't won anything major-major in the raffle draws.. seems like lady luck had been stingy with me since forever... shower me somethin', will ya!
i'm getting a lot of flak with my job these days... sadly.
i can come up with many, many valid excuses.. like how hard it is to cope-up with the increasing sales, additional branches to serve, the many people i depend with who are unreliable and how i'm doing all this single-handedly whilst all the other companies who do this kinda job have at least two people to compliment each other.. yeah, excuses.. excuses..
but nah, i could have done better. modesty aside, even with all the excuses mentioned, i can really roll with them punches.. i mean, it isn't really that hard. i just need more time and focus. maybe, a few motivation here and there. a pay hike would be the clincher. yay!
anywayz, lets see how it goes. if i feel like i can't handle the heat anymore, better get the F out of the kitchen!
to me right now, work is just a necessity to get by.. it's not something i enjoy doing anymore. in fact, if i get fired tomorrow, it would be a huge weight off of my shoulders.
you know, you slave yourself to get that desired result, but people don't see the effort behind all of it... all they see is how "easy" you come up with the conclusion.. so they go "why's it taking this long?" or "how come this is the one that came out when it's supposed to be this and that?" all the why's and the how's can really stress the shit out of you... if you take everything too seriously, ponder hard on it and take 'em to bed, you could really end up with nightmares.. LOL!
duh!
some. people.
rant off.
P.S.
since upgrading to IOS5, my iphone (3GS) had been marred with lag in loading apps.. bummer!

night shiftin'
well, it's tough. working out at night. sleeping is the hardest. peeing frequently is worst.
so, i tried for two straight nights to hit the gym around seven in the evening. i'm not really new to this time except that i haven't been doing that for quite sometime now. it's crazy, tell ya that. too much crowd slash poseurs all over. there are a few strong mofos and select serious lifters. other than that, i couldn't care less what the others are doing.
the cardio area is really full. you'd be lucky to get a slot with them machines.. even the hard-to-use-ones-cos-they're-exhausting-to-do are all jammed packed as well.
there's a lot of consideration when working out at this time.. drinking or popping pre-workout cocktail is definitely a no-no when you have to sleep early cos you need to wake up early... for two straight nights i had trouble sleeping cos i had too much caffeine.. a key ingredient in my pre-workout drink (jack3d). last night i had to sip some brandy to calm my nerves cos the jitter is unbearable.
no caffeine usually means a less than stellar workout especially at these hours as my body is used to relaxing and well, for eons, it means downhill after office hours for me.
that's one of the big reason why i need to hit the gym during the day.
i don't really mind the time.. what's important is i get my behind in there.. the predicament comes in later.. like it's so sleepy driving home and when you wanna sleep, you can't.
when i workout, i usually consume a gallon of water rather easily. i try to shave off that amount of water in the evening but, boy, i'm still peeing like a faucet at night.. i'm seriously thinking about getting an adult diaper so i can sleep like a baby!
guess i'm gonna have to solder on for a few more days.. weeks or months.. we'll see how this goes.
on the bright side, there's plentiful of eye-candy during these times.. when most people are off from work. i just wish i didn't have to wake-up at five in the morning to prep for my food for the day, bringing Neil to school and my arse, off to work... haaaaahhh... i gotta win some lotto jackpot somehow so i could live like a king!
then, i can workout at night 'til i drop, sleep like a log later (or party if i can't sleep yet), and wake up the next day when i wanna. how's that for a life, yeah?
dream big, right?
being lazy is a bad idea though.
***
bad vibes envelopes the house these days... i hope for 'em to go away.. soon.

yo mah angel
how time flies, yeah?
mah baby is gonna be two year years old in like days. seems t'was just yesterday when she came to us and we were all messed up with her crying and all... how're we supposed to take care of this baby that we didn't even plan to have?
to be honest, we're just glad to have her around.. even with all things considered (read: time, effort, sleepless nights, expense, etc.), she just made our home exciting again... Neil is growing up fast and he's not cute anymore, sadly haha!
our little Angel is quite cuddly and affectionate.. ya know, she just loves to be carried around the house.. amazing how i can go lift heavy ass weight and kill it in the treadmill or other cardio machines, but when i carry her, i tire out rather easily. she's getting heavier everyday, by the way!
you know what time it is? it's twenty hundred hours (20:00). i'm gonna be doing leg work tomorrow with all the squattin' and pain in between. it'll be glutes, hamstrings and quads.

poseurs
i had a two day off from the gym... well, one was a needed respite, the other was just too much work. yeah, the work had been really riding me these days! it doesn't help that my effing supervisor is up my ass with pressure to get things done.. i'm actually having some kinda headache right now. ugh!
so much for that and on to my favorite subject...
another awesome shoulder workout today!
it didn't come as a surprise as i've been busting my chops to get my numbers up in doing shoulder presses. i've pretty much set a new PR (personal record) doing shoulder presses from the pins. roughly 190 pounds for a good three repetitions. i think that it had something to do with my grip strength. someone said and i agree that your ability to move the weight starts when you grip the bar. it's like when you hold the bar, you just go and picture tearing them apart. Dave Tate said something along that line and i must say, i'm a believer now of that principle.
anyway, i've pretty much gotten stronger in almost all facets of lifting.. but i'm not there yet. ya know, it's exciting and there are days that i look forward to just reaching my goal... it feels remarkable to have gotten that far and moving such amount of weight but at the same time it's frustrating when i realize i can't move any more weight cos my body, especially the CNS (central nervous system) is signalling me it's over. it is tired and exhausted and even though the mind is willing, the body has been weakened considerably.
so those are the highs and lows.
kroc rows and farmer's walk had gotten my grip stronger. they can also withstand longer use... in short, they tire a li'l longer than usual.
meanwhile, poseurs are scattered all over the gym like dog shit. hah!
you know, they must've started workin' out yesterday and today they're wearing top-tanks already. show-offs!
others look like they know their thing.. they go start bench pressin' with heavy ass weight but funny thing though, they just move the bar like a few inches off the rack. then after just 2-3 sets they go call somebody (usually, personal trainers) to help them move the weight. yeah, to sorta spot them but them PT's end up lifting the weights themselves.
i got one word for these people, LEAVE YER EGO AT THE DOOR, YA DIMWIT!
ok that's and handful, gotta a problem with that?
but, kidding aside, i use to be like that myself. these days, if i can't do it properly, i eat humble pie and lower the weights. i get better stimulation doing that and it's gotten me even more stronger.
last but not the least...

of smokes and mirrors
smokin'!
yeah, that girl in the gym earlier is smokin' hot. i can't effing focus when she's like staring at me when i do my exercises.. of course i'm being presumptuous, as usual. well, it kinda feels like. or, it must've been the other way around. i have a picture of her, by the way. wanna see?
bleh!
she just have all the nice curves and bumps in the right places... it's in her genes, i surmise. sometimes i wish i don't get to workout around the same time with her cos she's quite a distraction... but at the same time i just luuurrrvvvv having her around cos it's so nice to see a lady who takes care of her body and knows what she's doing.
so, it's a love and hate thing. if it was up to me though, i don't mind the distraction at all if it's her that's causing it.
speaking of smoking, it's been what, six or seven years since i quit smoking. i gotta thank the good Lord above for the strength He gave me.
it was never easy... nor that hard.
i've been smoking since high school, if my memory serves me right. it all started when i learn that it's an appetite suppressant. i didn't wanna go morbidly fat but having our family history and my big-boned structure, i'm meant to be that - fatso!
so on and off i go smoke a stick or a pack whenever i can... not until i suffered some serious health problems. i know my heart was weakening fast as i didn't exercise, eat all sorts of junk, alcoholic, slept late and smoked like a chimney. it's also worth mentioning that i was born with a congenital heart disease. yaiks!!
whenever i go walk on stairs, it is as if i'm gonna suffer a stroke on my journey upstairs... i could hardly breath and barely have legs to go on!
not only that, my bouts with tonsillitis had been frequent and worst each time. i need a more powerful and expensive antibiotic to combat it - and the pain, it was getting unbearable. what's more lamentable, fever was a like a last name whenever i had tonsillitis.
the last experience i had was around the third week of december (either '04 or '05) and it was when i cannot say "no" to my uncle who offered me a really nice pack of Marlboro. the kind of which is rich and imported. and even though my throat had started to feel uncomfortable that time, what, with all the parties in the month of december, i just went on and binge on s'more cigarettes.. puffing and huffing to my heart's delight.
a few days later, i had the worstest tonsillitis in the whole-wide-world.
thus, i could not smoke 'til i healed up.
then i thought, what the heck, it's New Year in the next few days, why not make it a "resolution?"
i made it for a few days... why not push the envelope s'more? i go convincing myself.
it wasn't a walk in the park at all. whenever i go out with friends, i get teased and tempted. they'd say "you know, you'd be back smokin' in no time, i'll bet my year's salary on that!"
then my boss, who was my smoke buddy since we knew each other many years back and one person i cannot say "no" to, also downplayed my resolution and said the same thing my pals told me. that i wasn't gonna last a week or a month.
then days became months.. and months became year...
and many years later, i haven't lit one cigarette.
whose to say one cannot change? that it's hard?
nuff said.
i've got a few more tales to tell up my sleeve, but i gotta watch my favorite show on Discover Channel. now, brotha!
American Chopper.
enjoy the weekend.. keep your pants up and be safe.

Bench Pressin' like playin'
i saw a video just recently and that was all i need to see to get my bench press (bench) performed properly. see, we all can put things up and down but there's actually a way to execute things properly. like when you're trying to lift something off the floor. picture a case of beer. if you're bending with your back rounded, you're gonna feel some sorta pain later.. worst, injure your lower back. however, if you arch your back, you are doing it sexy properly.
there are more examples i can give, but ya gotta pay me though for them infos.. heh!
well, going back to the video, i've been doing the bench wrong since day one. that's one reason why i hurt my right shoulder before. since time immemorial i tried to do it right with no luck, though dumbbell pressing one hundred pounds each hand was somewhat a success, using the bar proved to be my waterloo.
i just couldn't get stronger with it no matter how i tweak my hand position or body's... 'til i saw the video and applied it earlier.
wow!! it's like seven years or so of doing things wrong and trying in earnest to learn.
but not when i'm older and joint pains is a regular!
it's also worth mentioning that recovery had decelerate a tad.. argh!
ahhhh... it's never to late to learn new tricks! even old dogs can learn a thing or two.. like me!
exciting times, indeed.
some people in the gym must've been smiling behind my back when i do all those goofy exercises.
the basics are always a staple - squats, deadlifts, presses and rows. the assistance however is where i do all sorts of stuff that most people in the gym wouldn't dare try cos they don't wanna look like "aliens."
but it's not about how nice you flow through the movements, it's getting things done - the right way.
so wipe that smirk off yer face, ya moron!
my apologies for getting carried away. too much testosterone running through my system, i must admit.
well... it's time to chill now..

acting like busy body
mmmmmkkkayyyy. we know what happened. it wasn't exactly what most people expected, but shit happens. we won and that's all that matters... not convincingly or decisively, i guess.
shut your pie-hole ---- a win, is still a win.
i'm not gonna go and start a whole lotta discussion as to the "what's" and the "if's" like what's happening at 'em message boards and the interwebz.
it is what it is. so, stop crying your hearts out and move on.. comprende?
WORK WORK WORK!!!
i just had a really busy monday today. fyi, i'm a one-man-wrecking-machine doing all the paper works and does fieldwork to process 'em paper works. with the bulk of our sales the past few weeks, i'm also caught with a lot of documentations to process.
and i'm not even done yet!
sadly, it comes with the territory.
i failed to hit the gym today. am just gonna make it up tomorrow.
meantime, i'm hitting the sack... it's been luring me since i step foot on that cozy bedroom...
i'll see you in my

Gellin'
just had a massage earlier at a place where i'm a regular. i kinda stop experimenting with other parlors as i only get disappointed when i don't get that much needed therapy.
so, when i find a good masseuse (nothing kinky, just prefer women), i usually note their name so the next time i go there i can easily request for that lady.
lately i've been going for the two-hour session... pretty rejuvenating for a tired and weary bod like mine. i always go for the HARD variant... when she does that massage, she really goes for the kill! mostly, i end up holding my breath to sorta mask the pain.. but i don't complain... especially when it's done on the hamstrings, glutes, back, shoulders, chest and biceps... on the calves, quads, triceps and some part of the neck and head, i prefer it moderate.
that pretty much puts my weekend on a high note.
there was a time when i just went balls to the wall at the gym, the next day i couldn't get up! well, i can actually but it was really hard to move around or go to work.. i ended up calling for a home service massage.
curiously, some people at the parlor, i overhear them talking to their masseuse... they're like hitting on them. maybe they're hoping to get something "extra" or some DOM wanna have some lovin'..
well, i don't like to chatter. i just wanna chill , listen to relaxing music and close my eyes. even when it hurt sometimes.. i don't go "could you tone it down a little, it effing hurts!"
i don't even get a wood, dam'it!
maybe if the attendant was wearing something skimpy, i might.
i don't know if some masseuse are actually hitting on me... there was one who really did a nice dig on my inner thigh she's a few millimeters away from my manhood... i can't stop it from getting mad!
anyway, i don't really wanna think that way cos my intentions are pure. sorta. LOL!
well, that's my story for today.. my mind's still debating whether i should down some brandy whilst watching HBO's Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 24/7 - Episode 4 or just have gatorade instead... hmmmm..
decisions.. decisions..

Family First
shot. that's right, my shoulders are shot!
it's pretty sore actually. i did one too many shoulder presses earlier. what can i say, when it comes to workin' out, i love hittin' the shoulders hard with everything i've got.
a few days ago i had little mishap. whilst doing rack pull of roughly five hundred pounds of weight, my lifting relic of a wrist straps snapped on me! well, only one gave in but it made a huge thud of a sound in the gym that everyone got the shock of their lives... good thing the olympic (oly) bar didn't break or bend or i'd be the object of hatred in the gym. why? cos there's only one oly bar and it is the most useful bar you can find in the gym. not many gym around here have that kinda bar, sadly.
i guess it's time to buy a new heavy duty variant. the one where you're shoulders would pull-apart or your spine break loose but never them straps. isn't that nice? hah!
anyway, the work had been tremendous you wouldn't wanna go there. backlogs had piled-up but it ain't my fault. it's the other end that needs to deliver as i have done mine. unfortunately, there's just so much you can do or control, beyond that you can only hope that somehow things get done. i wouldn't wanna worry too much about it though, cos man, it's not gonna make things better. good thing i'm into weights, otherwise i would've been drinking my worries away.
meanwhile, wifey saw this fella of mine drinking with a friend while we were out in the mall. i guess i must have hurt this fella's feeling cos he hasn't bug me since that fateful night... fateful cos we smoked some serious dough carousing with you-know-who, of which i seriously felt would have been better spent on something more "productive."
we went there to drink but things got out of hand, we deviated. we ended up spending more than we planned... in short, we were a few grand poorer after all the bills were paid.
i guess he felt bad that we had to split every penny. it was a rough time for him, i understand. he had some work related issues. and for me as well as i just had an "instant" baby. we ended up spending more than we probably could earn in a week... he must have thought i'm loaded and it should be my treat.. which is really, i wouldn't mind at all spending on food and booze for our little rendezvous. that side trip however was too costly and to be perfectly honest, i would very much rather spend it on milk, diaper, etc. for my little baby.
so yeah, i get it. i don't feel bad at all. if anything i'm happy he's moved on with his new or old friends and still pull that kinda shit. i mean me, i've gotten older. i'd love to drink once in a while or go on a gimmick trip but i can't go back to those days wherein we end up going home in the wee hours of the morning.. like almost on a daily basis.
these days, i don't need to be "IN". i don't need to belong. in fact, as i've said here many times, i can easily blend in if i wanted to. in the office alone, i can easily join anybody's circle. more so, in the gym. there's not many strong mofo's out there like me. just a handful.
BUT...
i am soooooo waaaayyyy pass that. i kinda miss those "glory" days but i don't wanna go back there. at least not that frequent.
if you've been following me you know i've turn my life around, thanks to the good Lord above.
memories are good.. the past is a good place to visit once in a while but life goes on... i moved on. it's nice to have friends and buddies to cheer on and to toast to, but today more than anything else, i have to get my priorities first.
make a wild guess what they are....

ahhhhhhhh... i love holidays... long weekends? yeah baby!!
like this week, for example. the President finds it appropriate to declare the 31st as a holiday. then, on November 01 obviously too is a holiday. filed a vacation leave on the 2nd so now that's a lot of R & R. sadly, we didn't go out somewhere other than the cemetery. tsk.. tsk..
i kinda regret the time that went by and us not having done anything leisurely. what can i say, i'm not really in the mood with them same old-same old company. if you've been reading this helluva blog, ya know who i meant.
so again, going back to holidays, monday is yet another holiday!! how ya like that, huh?
if you really wanna know seriously why, READ THIS, aight?!?
hopefully, me being thee "man-of-the-house" can put a spin on this downtime.
meanwhile, gotta go coz there's too much distraction on the background... it's making me think harder!
deym!

Happy Halloween!
how was your halloween? good? great!
just like the years went by, i had the same old, same old experience. with my boring in-laws, as usual.
thanks to the addition of my little baby, Angel Mitch, it was a tad fun to go around the cemetery. she's getting bigger and a lot lot more pesky and restless. she wants to move around all the time when you put her down. still, she's cute when she does all that.
i gotta say she's got a lot of zest in her. she's just moving all the time, talks a lot and she actually interacts when you talk to her... i guess i'm surprise since what, Neil is now thirteen years old so you can imagine how old, err, i mean how it's been a long, long time ago since we have a baby around.
everything is just, to me, a discovery yet again.
i'm really just posting something so i can greet ya for the holiday.. actually, i'm effing toasted again for doing a lot of exercises for my legs and triceps this morning... argh!
chillin' out.

Eagle-Eye Cherry - Falling In Love Again (Official Music Video). Watch more top selected videos about: Eagle-Eye Cherry
no.. not exactly but i just like this song a lot.
brandy and cracker nuts
we're supposed to have a halloween slash award's night party right at this moment and i was pretty dolled up and excited to go wax it up...
but everything went to zit.
i was just tired. bored. ya know, there wasn't anything going on out there minutes into the party.. i wasn't just feeling the vibe. my office-mate cum booze buddy, i don't know where they were.
so as not to prolong the agony, i went to pack-up my stuff and left in a huff... co-employees told me where i was going or ask why i was leaving or don't leave -- i go, "i'll be back, shortly."
now, i feel like a diva.
on my way home a buddy called and ask "where the heck are you?"
man, ever heard of that senti song that goes "twenty five minutes too late?"
i'm sleepy, i replied.
this guy however isn't gonna take "NO" for an answer so i sorta lied and "assured" him i'll get right back to him and the rest of the "buddies".. later.
if you want my company ya gotta keep me wired to something of interest cos i don't care if we have all sorts of yummy foods, tasteful drinks and kinky girls.. wait, kinky girls? that'll do haha!
yeah, i'm better off somewhere else like home if there's too much lull in between... now, i feel like a divine diva.. wahahaha!!!
yeah, yeah.. i've got more smile on my face looking at my li'l girl blurting non-sense and just soooo affectionate.. pretty much makes my day. besides, i've got a bottle of brandy 'round here sitting since forever.. better pop it up before it lands in the wrong hand/s.
well, "That's all I have to say about that. "

rest and repair..
my CNS is pretty fried.. well, it had been unable to recover nicely since i pushed too hard and had little to no rest in between days of workout... yeah, i'm still movin' some serious weight.
the plan this week is to ease up. maybe take a one day ON, one day OFF. pretty much alternate the days so i'd come up fresh and not whince days later.
ever heard of DOMS? that's exactly what i've been having doing all that crazy things i dig on the net. tsk.. tsk..
anywayz,

overtraining is overrated.
i've been having a blast in the gym lately. cardio had been "exciting." yeah baby!!
been doin' lotsa sprints and that summit trainer thang... it's a lung buster, mate!!and then add to that the whole lotsa lifting where i try to incorporate all that reading and fuse 'em all into one helluva routine --- it's a killer!
so yeah, everything about workin' out and breakin' sweat, it's pretty covered-up and still consistent.
i'm still sore from doing some back and biceps routine yesterday... today was hamstrings. guess i overtrained yet again, huh?
***
yay!!
i got a li'l caught with 'em shebang of things... ya know, movin' some weight, work, earn that much needed moolah and all sorts in between..
yeah, that pretty much sums up how i roll... it's too bad i'm getting predictable.. i hate it when i come to that.
i take everything as a challenge. even though work had pretty much doubled or tripled up since early this year, i'm still coping nicely. sadly, i also depend on other people and when they screw up, all that hard work i put up goes down the toilet.
i guess that's life... sometimes you wish you can do everything on your own so things gets done.
in my "business" kissing ass is the norm. no matter how pissed you are with this particular person, ya gotta be nicey-nicey... or else, something "bad" is goin' to happen.
still eight minutes left... to get my effing IOS5 update, that's what!
memba what i said about fusing 'em drafted post?you're reading it. chiao!

heeeeeyyyy!!!
it had been a busy week.. you have no idea!
the work -- is a killer!
well, we have two new branches opened recently and all of its sales... the processing and stuff still goes back to us.
though, ain't nothin' but a peanut for me considering i'm pretty "systematic" so to speak when it's time to buckle up, the volume was quite ginormous i must say i'm overwhelmed.
hopefully when the dust clears up, i'm still standing and ready to rumble for s'more.
i can only get stronger and smarter... that's a done deal.
quote for the day:
"what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
ZZzzzzzzz...

so i've been reading a lot of ebooks. sometimes i wish i'm Will from that good will hunting movie.. wherein the man's got photographic memory.. sadly, i'm the exact opposite.
i read and easily forget. well, i have a very, very short memory since forever and now that i've "matured" it's gotten worst. hah!
anyway, i did a lot of reading.. then listened to some preaching i downloaded from my church's website. i haven't been going to the church for months now and my soul is kinda hungry for some spiritual nourishment.
you should try that sometimes. it puts a lot of things in perspective with all the happenings in the world right now, i could really use a little guidance.
from what i reckon from all that reading and listening, it was impressed upon me that i could use a group... to sorta make me push myself and make me accountable.
ya know i could easily blend in. i just didn't want to.
i've always been self-reliant. i don't like to bug people with whatever if i can do it myself. whilst in college, i learned to be a handyman. even now when there are things that needs fixin' in the house or anything, if i can fix it or at least i know i won't make it worst, i'll do it myself. other than i hate waiting, it's also a hassle calling or looking for someone to do it for ya.
jack of all trades. i wish i am. but i don't know jack about being a mechanic. there are technical things that's just way too deep and needs some careful studies before you'd even wanna mess with it.
but i digress.
so goin' back to the group thing. that, i will have to work on to.
i'm kinda the loner type. i'm better off alone. though i have lotsa friends in the gym or at my workplace or wherever my butt falls into.. easily, i can get along with anyone.
i can make anyone laugh when i'm in the mood for it. in fact, i'm quite a joker.
basically, i have a lot of things going on in my mind.. some issues that i have to work out... address then hopefully, resolve.
it's not easy but i'm aware of it and definitely it's something i'm trying to improve on.
when i'm ready to just let it all hang loose, life would probably be different for me.. i'm guessing it's a better one. an upgrade.
that would be the day!

stories....
a few days ago we had freak accident. it happened so quickly my little baby would have died.
every time i remember that day, i cringed. i hate to tell a long story unless it's face-to-face or we're speaking in tongues so i'll go cut to the chase of what happened - she choked on some sugar-coated peanut.
she was crying for a piece and i was too smart to feed her one and she choked on it. i tried to grab it from her throat only to find out it has gone way down her throat and she couldn't breath.
i panicked!
she was starting to turn blue..
i practically turn her upside down so she could pop it out her throat. what's worst though is that the friggin' peanut's rough edges had slightly teared down her throat as it stuck there and she was coughing blood!!!
damn the fuckin' peanut huh?!?
it was half sister's idea of feeding her that kinda peanut.
things would have turned out for the worst... thanks to the good Lord above she came through.
so yeah, when i remember that night, it kinda mess up my head.
***
another story, we have this two house-helps who really made my day today.
well, last night they ask for permission to go dancin' somewhere as there was a Fiesta goin' on in the nearby village. we're always kind enough to oblige.
these girls are just 16 or 17 and you know what? they have so many text-mates.. probably collecting boyfriends.
anyway, at the back of my head i was wondering what these girls are doing when we're all out - me and wifey doing our job and Neil off to school. aren't they entertaining boys inside our house or something.. ya know fishy going on?
then this morning (well, we don't know what time they went home) Neil was surprise to find out there are two boys in their room!!!
what the hell?!?
how do you make out of that picture?
i mean, what the fuck is going on here?
what the hell are these boys doing in their room? praying the rosary?
if i was the parent of these kids i'd be damn. whether the girls or the boys.
what have we become?
i would of fired them both in an instant if only there was someone who could babysit my li'l baby.
we'll eventually have to let this biatches go... but i gave them a mouthful, alright.
i'm sure if their parents finds out what they did, i dunno what'll happen to them. i'm sure if i was pissed since this is my house and not because they are related to me and they're doing the hankie-pankie.
they're parents i believe would of snap. i mean they trusted these girls... they'd probably blame us along the way.
all these cellphones and social networking and the media... their parent's aren't as faultless either.
anyway, there i let a few steam out.
hope you're happy cos i ain't!
p.s.
i like blogger's new interface.. so many options yet still user-friendly. good job guys!

well, well, well...
it's been quite a vacation, homie! from here of course.
i got a lot on my plate, as usual. some aren't really making me any more richer (like i'm already am) but i did learn. that's what's important in life, right? perhaps.
i just had my birthday last month... the plan was to spend it quietly without the whole shebang that comes along with being a year older.. as usual. well, indeed it went really just that. save for some relatives and my circle of family who texted, most of my pals as well as my office mates didn't have a clue.
incidentally, on the eve of my birthday, we had an award's night with all the food and booze that goes along with it and i just let my hair down that night.. hah!
yep, i had my little celebration and only i knew what. so there.
i got a shezload of ebooks that are rarin' to be read. i hope to really be able to focus one day and just read 'em all at once!
on top of all this chit-chat, there's a lot going on in my life that some, i find it a pain in the ass, whilst others seem like an opportunity waiting...
could somebody hand me the crystal ball already?!?

oh man... this place is going down the sh!tters.
i have to be perfectly honest.. i'm not built for this kinda thing.
i realize that.
there's just too much "skeletons" in me!
yeah.
i guess, this is goodbye.
i ain't comin' back no more.
if i'm too tired, lazy or couldn't make time for this, the hell with it!
why even bother..
i just wanna say, thanks to all who took the time.. whether you hated my guts or had a little fun and whatnot, muchas gracias!
this pretty much is where it all comes to a halt.
so, goodbye. farewell.
