Jackpot

the city of pines... such a nice place.

other than riding on a plane and a few snags, everything was goin' great in that three days and two nights of grand vacation.

but before that, we won some twenty five grand on some contest my wife had me and the rest of the wrecking crew in the house joined in.

it was a kickoff party, raffle draws and an award's night rolled into one.

t'was Sunday and since we have this little contest called Biggest Loser in the office, i decided to hit the gym for some serious cardio.

after the gym, went to the venue famish.

i was feeling tired, hungry, bored, envious, and did i mentioned bored? yeah, it took a while to finish. a lot of awardees and winners were announced wifey included.

some pals i know of were winning... cash, appliances, cellphones, etc.

i was feeling dismayed cos everyone's seems to be winning but us.

to make the long story short, during the final draw, i kept telling myself i hope i didn't win cos i hate going up on stage and getting pictured at... i didn't wanna be seen at all.

to my surprise, i got called!

the irony.

my wife is twenty five G's richer... yeah, i gave it all to her. well, she did all the work.. from buying the tickets, to making sure everyone goes, all the way to filling 'em tickets down.

what did i do? make sure i get my ass into that convention center.

i wanna go on talkin' but shayt, did some freakin' serious workout earlier, thus, i am very well spent.

Bagiuo City story will have to wait.... *yawn*

Biggest Lozer 2

WOW!

it's been a helluva tiring week! yep, bump up the cardio and really lessen the food intake... results are obvious, i guess.

i'm just waiting for other people to notice. i don't go around and brag about how i've lost weight.

my fellow competitors are showing signs of giving up. they probably thought there was no way of beating me... i doubt it very much.

we still have over a month more to go... plenty of time to turn things around.

i wish i could swim again though. that would really put me in the forefront, hands down.

unlike college days wherein i swim for twenty to thirty laps but then eat loads of junks afterwards like burgers and all that oily food being sold outside CCSC (the swimming place), now i can just eat boiled chicken breast and be content with it.

if i continue in this course and keep doing the things i do now, i believe i can top that lost weight i had before.

me and wifey are going to Baguio this tuesday for a three day vacation. nice, yeah?

i'm still scared shitless riding a plane and, we're gonna be travelling and riding on a bus  for hours going to our destination. heard about that news early today about a bus falling off a 120 meter ravine? many died.

that's even more scary!

anyway, if it's your time, it's your time. only the good Lord above knows when it's your time to go.

the cardio section of the gym is now my favorite hangout. i sweat like a bucket every time i'm there.

time to kill the talk and embrace the sacks.... nighty!

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!
