fair game
life's not fair.
the guy below is my buddy at the gym. we help each other out when were doing super heavy lifts.. other than that, we just do our own "little thing" while in there.
so why is it not fair, you asked?
well, let me count the ways...
one, this guy could not match me with the weights.. i could lift 20 to 50 percent more than his poundages..
two, i do more exercises for one body part than his average of two to three sets...
three, i'm almost doing ten by tens... meaning ten sets of ten repetitions of everything... how much more difficult and rigid training can i possibly get, huh?
four, i'm pretty much adept and technical with the whole workout thingy that he'd practically asks for my advice/s...
five, i spend more time bangin' the iron in the gym than him... like he's done in an hour or two and i'm still doin crunches...
six, his workout is never consistent... he quits for a week or two and comes back again, but without losing much muscle and definition... while i grind and eat iron six days a week to get a shoot at looking muscular!
and lastly, he gets all the girls (and even the gays!) for that so-so gym performance by just getting half naked while at the beach while i'm having dinner at the gym gorging on dumbbell steak.... WTF?
now tell me, is that fair?
but then again, i'm happy for him... after all, when he is there pumping iron, he really puts up and almost never ceases to rest in between sets... like these days, after a week/s off, he is like an animal! loading plates after plates.... and that, i can't match... i'd like to take my sweet time, y'know....
***
in case YOU have found your way here uninvited and you know me in person, i want YOU to understand that i'd like to take a break from all of that... for now...
i already said my piece... now, i'll take this time to gather my thoughts and reflect...
when i'm ready, i will again, re-appear to finish what i've started.
ciao!

ssssssshhhhhhhhh
nothing much to rant about somewhere else, so here i am.
what was that i was gonna talk about? hhhmmpp!!!
oh yeah... I am HOT!
i like that a lot... i am now a chic magnet... dang!
i went out last saturday and boy, when i sat down with some ladies (one is a GF of a friend and the other was her friend) at my friend's bar, we just hit it off right away.. last time i check, it's usually me whose touchy and icky, but this time, they were. the other girl kept her face thisclose to mine whenever she speaks... i can almost feel her lips rubbing my ears... whoa there! and my friend's GF (my friend's somewhere not in Cebu) she'd occasionally hold my arm when she speaks... hhmmmmmm... checking me out,girl, huh? but no worries bud, i ain't hitting your GF even if we're both stuck in an island.. promise... he he he
oh and she did left me a cellphone number but i ain't calling nobody... unless i wanna get whop by some jealous wifey...
remember that story a few entries back? well, do some back reading cos i ain't diggin', will yah, hombre!
well, her name was ashley... shesh! she came back a few nights later and was looking for me... sorry girls, i'm good for one night only and that's it... after that, let's forget the past.... i mean, for real.
***
so, i get it... this is probably the reward for all that pain and sweating, eh? i'll sweat some more 'til i can't sweat no more... dang, i bungled up marley's song...
***
now, for the gym story...
i'm getting stronger as time passes by... i've added parallel dips and pull-ups into my program... those two, for me is the true measure of strength... you are practically lifting your own weight doing those exercises... when i am able to do it weighted, meaning i'm adding weights other than my body's, i'd be able to achieve that V-Shaped bod... i am getting there though thus the sex appeal... heeee.. heeee...
but get this, when i'm doing the barbell/dumbbell curl, my bicep's vein appears.. and my forearms, even at rest are starting to get vein-Y. and though my jeans are getting looser, my shirts are getting tighter around the chest, shoulders and arms.. i call that p-r-o-g-r-e-s-s, baby!
i wouldn't mind at all if i get even a quarter of Jay Cutler's bod... at any given day, man...
but having that "appeal" isn't really my goal when i went into serious training, but to get conditioned as my body was sending me signals it's going down hard and fast if i don't do some drastic changes. but the "appeal" factor was a great bonus to continue what i've started and further fuel my resolve to push 'til i reach my maximum strength potential.... wow, that was deep!
except for a few snags, like my right wrist's occasional aching (i'm a southpaw by the way) and my shoulders feeling the same, things are goin' smoothly... as i've learn to deal with the obstacles by working around them.. the plan for a week long rest would not materialize as the new techniques i employed, and yes, the unexpected accolade and adulation from friends and strangers was a huge, huge boost for my ego.
now, give me that iron!
wait, wait... my chest still hurts!!
or is it my breast?

i'm back.
no, not the usual funfare please...
i said i needed a break, ayt?
i have a new uniform... weeee!!!! picture this: that mall guard wearing all blue, that's exactly how they look! haa.. haa... unfunny, indeed.
i may have been "out" in the cyberworld for a while now but i was never away.. took a different direction though to further my "growth". well, we all need a little break from where we've been stuck to... it's refreshing to discover new things and to go back where you've been a tad more rejuvenated.. well, that is, for me.
yesterday's iron pumping session was the lowest if not the worst workout i've ever had. i still had some pains goin through my legs as i went pass 200lbs for my squat the other day.. whew! so much harder, huh?
it was tempting to relax yesterday with all the work in the office/field...also got my bike's sprocket replaced cos the chain's starting to roll over. that took an awful lot more of time to finish... oh, the downtime just stalled me for hours and made me feel sleepy.
so, when everything was done and ready, even my when legs were still hurting, went ahead to the gym... but.... felt really different warming up. shoot, something's not right, here. anyway, started out with the incline bench press... first few plates, good.... but after going 170lbs. the damn bar got way too heavy! shesh, i did 200lbs. of this one before... WTF?
tried again, with a spotter this time... that's it, i can't friggin lift it! i must have plateaued already.... hmmmmm.. sooo many reasons but i hope i can improve next time.
..... to be continued.

i've decided to make this blog for "friends" only..
i actually do have a problem about sharing things about my life, (no matter how mundane and frivolous they are). i'm naturally a very "keep your cards close to your heart kind of person". so alas.. sorry to all the lurkers out there.. hehehe.. and no, i'm not talking about you.. sheesh!
toodles! kit and caboodles! =)

some guy beat me to the pulp as to exactly what i want to say about this place i called my "secret-confession-blog" place!

Final Push
we'll have dinner later tonight... it's the culmination of the company's sports fest. it wasn't that much of a "sport" and "friendly" game though as we almost had a brawl with our sister company's basketball players for playing it rough and dirty. we won the game by the way... so, bbbbllleeeeeeeeee!!!!
hopefully, the dinner won't be like last year's when the food was scarce... no budget, eh?
***
am still feelin the pain of yesterday's shoulder and tricep workout. if there's any highlight of the week for all that pumping action, should be yesterdays... thanks to my bud, benjie for assisting me with the heavy ones... i guess he was a little scared as it is his first time to spot me in that position... whattaguy by the way!
he was in a beach, Portofino to be exact.. swimming.. when he passed by two ladies who just came off their boat to swim around... he just said to them, "hi girls!" and from thereon in they became instant friends.. not only that, the hot one was all over him the whole time... some lucky fella, huh?
morale of the story: it pays to be buff and workin' out
hehehe.... love that sandwich, girl..
back to the main topic. today, i'm hoping to get my groove up when i aim to bench a few poundages more than the last time i top it. it won't be easy but i've never done anything easy lately, so it won't be too much of a surprise....
and whew, the abs exercises... sigh.. they never get any easier and fun... i'll get them all done. promise.
someday, i hope i'd be as lucky as my idol and training partner, benjie. dude, your name is my late dad's namesake too!

BigBossy

that's not supposed to be.
that's why you wont find me advertising this anywhere.. from forums, friendster and the whole wide web... never.. nada... capish?
Top Secret, this is. really. hee hee
so, after the 3 day fabulous fever weekend, had to slowly crawl my way back to form.. tueday was tough as i had to deal with light-headed-ness.. the usual "play after work" i've been doin since april had been hitting the gym for hours... so, even with the "not-so-feeling-well" mood am still having, went in and eat some iron for dinner.
everything went well but lifted lighter loads this time... don't wanna pass out doin squats y'know...
now this was unexpected...

sick leave
i've got feeeeevvvveeeeeerrrr!!!
dang! had been parking for a while now. worst, i'm also suffering from LBM. just perfect.
haven't taken a bath since saturday... i stink!
had to call it sick for work today.
it must have been the weather or the LBM... whatever it is, i'm pretty much derailed of my plan to go super heavy-lifting this week. in fairness, i'm still feeling sore of last week's session.
today, with some help from the Almighty, i will take a bath and hopefully feel better...
meanwhile, my veins are starting to pop.. haha... i'm leaning out slow and sleek.. by the time it's december, i should be closer to my target.
some pictures...
the bare essentials
i just conquered this one... *applause*
the gym rats.. err, i mean gym buddy.. they help me with the heavy ones.. y'know, spot me

i went out last saturday. thought i should let my hair down sometimes. brought some hard drinks cos we just came from the mall and had a huge dinner... beer would just make my belly larger and my pocket slimmer.
everything went well as me and my amigo, lui, who rolled out the red carpet for "a long lost friend." did some catching up of whatever's happening to the rest of what used to be our posses... and yep, most of the gang do hang out in my amigo's bar which had been renamed to Baseo. apparently, the old and now defunct name Beach Roots had so many unsettled back taxes.. so, instead carrying the excess baggage, they opted to just dub it Baseo.. a spin-off to that new "whatever place is that i haven't been to."
cool... cool...
i saw yul, the teacher guy whose also into bands. he's been our regular before and he always brings with him his students... some guys.. some gals.. some became her girlfriends too! whattaguy.
unfortunately, as the night wore on, i started to struggle with my "other" self and before i knew it, i was there sitting with some lady and her friends. i only have chunks of memory since then.... i could not picture her face nor remember her name, but i remembered being touchy (which i think didn't went to the extremes or i would have been sporting a black eye now) and my amigo's famous last words, "you're on your own now, cio." whatever that means, i wanna know the story behind it but the thing is, can i handle it?
from there everything was downhill... practically, i black out til i arrived at the gates of our house... end of the story. not!
last monday i couldn't figure out what transpired there and i felt so bummed while working out... maybe in time i could ask my amigo what i've done there and did i conduct myself as a gentleman.. or have i screwed up again... gggrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
***
so, this week kicked off with me in the gym sweating it out for a friggin six hours... i'm goin crazy with this fitness thingy i dreamed of it at night.
as to what purpose? hhhmmmm.. i dunno. but i've been wastin time doing stupid things before... so, this time i'd probably get some results.. well, my pants are getting looser, for one. my shirts too! i'm better in sex.. hehehe.. more oxygen, baby... of course, i don't breath heavily now unlike before when just a few steps on the stairs i feel like i'm gonna have a massive cardiac arrest... shish, speaking of which, a member of our forum died a week ago for that... cardiac arrest on his birthday!
well, it's not for me to judge but it could have been his lifestyle, y'know. i wish he's in a better place now.

nice.
i just saw on top of my editor a "video" icon. well, that means (probably) we can now upload videos to blogger, eh? great!
long absence... y'know..
anyway, there's not much going on with me right now except that i'm training like manny pacquiao.. hehe... well, that's what i've been busying myself into, working out as in sweating out.. big time.
night life, zero. gimmicks, nil. feeling of boredom, in a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, 7. well, that's life. you make choices and you make it happen. nothing will ever get you where you wanna be unless you start putting up... hmmmmm, but what about my mediocre job? why am i stuck with it? i thought about that too... it's nothing fancy but it's a win-win situation for all.. nothing to add further.. zit.. zat!
i like the thought that as time went by, i'm getting stronger. those dumbbells and plates that used to scare the crap out of me, i can now look at it man-to-man and lift it... as in i'm in the "big boys" rack now lifting the top weights in there with ease.... ok, ok i just can lift it these days. happy now?
in the meantime, i wanna thank the "masters," the "doubters," and the rest of the opinionated people in the gym... i've proven many of you wrong. how you like that, huh?
in the meantime, have to flee now for this story's starting to suck...
my back, aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!

Happy Eighth Birthday!
Blogger!
if it weren't for you we wouldn't have this drama to read about..
seems my birthday's comin' in soon too... let's see when... shez! just a matter of hours, in fact!
well, i'm never the kind who makes a big fuss about birthdays and i'm not about to make one now. but i gotta thank the good Lord above for making me get this far and turning my life around for the better... i'm not a happy-go-lucky kindda guy no more and neither am i a the junkie i was once..
i've got a few people to thank for... for giving me stuffs i never asked but they were generous enough to send me some... and they're not even my well-off relatives! i dig the irony, though. thank you.
of course my sister who help me through and through... she made it happened for us all. she never ceases to look after me, my family, my long lost and mentally-challenged brother, my just married bro and her wife... dang, even my/our dogs she provides them their food! we are so blessed by you, sis!
i love you.
anyway, i love the 80's and this video... reminds me of my careless and carefree days...
cheers!

finally took a leave. i was really getting burnout from all the work (and workout, if you may) lately. since it was Neil's birthday last Saturday, we went island hopping but not after wifey invited one too many of her "business partners" i don't know from adam. the downside of being away from my usual grind is that i tend to just go lazy it out.. and since i'm not having that "regular practice" of boozing anymore, i tend to easily go drunk and practically enter into some kindda "zone" where i do and speak of things strangely even i am amaze of how the hell did i do or say such stupid things... scares the shit out of me, hombre!
the island hopping went great, well, save for those i can still recall... the fish sanctuary was a nice stop and the place near Sta. Rosa was just as great... much like Richelle's ass.. wooppps, deym, saw her passing by thus the comparison.. but really, it was great... i'm just a little uncomfortable being surrounded by strangers, aren't we all? lesson 101 when island hopping: don't go with strangers cos it's a bummer!
when we arrived home i was ready to call it a day but what the crap, the alcohol gave me a huge cojones to invite some of them over our house... it was pretty stupid cos that means we have to continue hosting them and therefore we need to scram for more food and beers! just brilliant.
then i got a text from my fellow forumers... ahhh, i was sold out to the idea about not going to our EB (eyeball) as the day falls on "D-Day," but thanks to them, my friend, gpsman and sir AJ for teasing me that the babes had arrived... deym! even more, the beers were overflowing as well... deym! have to go and fix myself up quick and make a really good excuse to buzzz away from the "crowd". good thing i won in a raffle held a few weeks back.. an MI3 DVD and i have to claim it, otherwise it'll be forfeited and raffled off for the next draw...
"Houston, we have have a green light!"
oh, it was nice to meet them all. eye candies, indeed. i was pretty much loaded but i managed to stand straight... after a few hand shakes, beers and some chit-chat, my cellphone rang and sounded, "WARNING, IT'S THE WIFE!!! IT'S THE WIFE!!!"
"well, the visitors are waiting, go home, dickhead!" my wife's text went something like that.. joke!
so, bade goodbye to all.. wish i could stay a wee bit longer but y'know, whoever says life is fair should be shot in the head or stoned in the streets cos it ain't!
i ended up drinking s'more beers and singing my heart out thanks to Magic sing... had a boring foursome videoke with wifey and friends... woke up the next morning with a sore throat and a harsh voice... whew! talk about fun, ey?
anyway, i probably had a few embarrassing moments during the day but i always believe one can get away with it or is excused if he's under the influence.. unless you start being violent, of course.
i'll have to think a million times about getting drunk again... cos as i recall, i'm not so cool when i'm drunk and it ain't been funny, lately.
but i bet Paris Hilton had more of that shiteous display of stupidity when drunk...
creep signing out.

What i got
i'm so naive... didn't know Bradley Nowell, the vocalist, died many years ago (1996)...
but i love this song...
but i love this song...
wakokokokoko!!!!
hehe.. hello there!
this morning, i got the best compliment for the day thanks to those motorcycles who sprayed me with wet dirt.. why? well, i have to take me shirt-jack off and wear only my undershirt.. as it turns out, my muscles were pretty obvious.. my officemates were saying, "wow! nice bod you got there!" and a few couldn't help but squeeze my arms... "geeez, it's hard as rock!"
well, well... what can i say, spending hours and hours in the gym after the work is done should have some results, right? not to mention the "starvation sessions" i have to endure.. practically killing myself to get to where i am now... thank you.. thank you.. thank you..
***
meanwhile, nothing much to update about... well, there is actually but my memory still needs a lot of improvement... so, time to bid adieu so soon..
best regards and have a great weekend..
PS
this one, i can't wait to watch... tomorrow, somebody's gonna get whop..

i've been having a steady dose of real life tales from people i've been bumping in lately. in the gym, i hear my "idol" talking about his "heydays." this guy is only 21 years old and he used to party hard until one of his friend, just eighteen years old, suffered a massive stroke and is now wheel chair bound... practically useless. my "idol" took it as sign to go easy with his vices ...he's been pumping iron regularly these days... then there's another guy who look sooo fit and every inch masculine... but ate anything and everything including the unhealthy ones... twice he had a mild stroke and passed out banging his head into the floor and suffered a huge cut... his blood flowing profusely.. good thing his wife was able to call for help.. now, even with his age, he sweats it out in the gym religiously.. my boss had a liver problem because of too much drinking... one day he just turned yellow... saw him so many times at work looking pale and sick.. now, he's popping a number of pills everyday for his lever.. i can go on forever about this tragic incidents, but that's exactly the point of what i wrote below... in the end, some thing's gotta give... you smoke you lungs out, someday you'll BURNED. you drink and party like there's no tomorrow, you'll get BURNED.
been there, done that.. last year, i partied like hell.. i crashed my bike twice.. bloodied and bruise my body.. and for what? my son is still young and i'm living on the edge.. WTF?!?
i've had more bouts with tonsilitis than my wife and my, my... i was just bloating big like an elephant. i had trouble breathing, and sleeping wasn't gonna be "peace" without my dose of "milk," alcohol... or i'd suffer panic attack.. shit, the caffiene and nicotine combo was just too potent for a spent heart like mine.
and every time i'm out there, it just bothers me.. i dunno why but there's just something in there i can't fill even with all the bottles of alcohol i've down and wasted.
i thought i should take the higher road... one that few people go.. fortunately, i've found another way to get "high," meet new friends and found a new diversion... one that would actually give me a better result: joining on-line community forums and workout. if i need or like a good conversation, there's a number of forums i can join in.. in fact, modesty aside, i'm one of the moderator and the site keeper of two forums.. it's been really cool having an exchange of views from people all over.. some young, some old, people from cebu and others who lived in other countries... it's nice to be in the mix of people who have great minds and different views...
and, the workout session had been great... after all that humping and pumping, i just couldn't find a reason to gimmick anymore cos, i'm just way too tired to go out and party.. i couldn't wait to go home and crash.. not on the gutter or on the road, but in bed.
but, occasionally, i down a few rum and beer but it's not something i'd look for... our fridge doesn't have traces of them anymore.. i'd have fruits and juices instead..
it's not a "happy ever after" life.. in the future, i'd most probably have a few relapse here and there... but nothing is perfect...
i like this road better.

finally ran out of sites to visit... tsk tsk
sorry but i couldn't care less about this blog.. this needs a major face-lift and i don't have the time and the luxury for that..
just a few words of wisdom that is proven and effective through times....
"health is wealth."
"you reap what you sow."
"what you do comes back to you."
it may sound odd to some, but lately, i've seen a number of people realizing what those words meant... by heart.
even i.
so, for all of you "geniuses" out there who thinks you are too smart and your IQ's and EQ's are way above Einstien's, those who turn a deaf ear to a friendly advice.... you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out... in the end, you get BURNED. trust me on this.
***
my world had been crazy as hell these days.. always exhausting.. what, with all the things i've been doing? but i have to keep up... keep the faith... roll with the punches... prepare for boredom... lose more friends... win some friends... unlearn a whole lot of things... learn a few things... refresh... get back to basic... restart... relive... get out of the box... and breath...
bottom line is: continue to embrace change, enjoy and still live life to the fullest.
chao!

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!

i know this blog's been boring ever since it's inception.. not much to see here.. sowi.. so here, i stole some from our heavily secured office vault a few...
that would be all...

i just love the rain....
ahhhhhh... the rain.. it's lovely. i just wanna get married right now.. hehe
so, we came back a long time ago (last saturday) and this is the only time i can yak about it.. i guess, being old and weary just made me way, way mellowed down... everyday when i get home, sitting on the sofa, watching TV... in just a few minutes, i feel soooo sleepy already i wanna hit the bed as quickly as i could.. shesh! whatever happened to me?!? i guess spending hours in the gym did it in for me. but i really can't complain... if people say i look "good" these days.. that's very rewarding.. so, i'll press on and continue to sweat it out, drop the weight, suffer more pain, hurdle with the equipments, pop some supplements, eat properly (diet is one letter short of die) and continue to focus.
well, the team building slash summer outing slash rainy days slash field trip was good. though i fumbled in some of the activities slash games and lost my breath with that sprint-kindda-pass-the-torch competition.. thanks to me, we were beaten soundly by just a few seconds cos i fell hard on the tires... but we won a few.. enough to save face.
we had some pretty tough task that day... mr. gary, our facilitator, did warn us about how physical it was gonna be... the theme alone says,"Beyond Limits." wow, we're supposed to encounter things that are, well, beyond us. i was pretty fit to do all that but we all went and dive into it without warming ourselves up... a very important factor for any rigorous physical activity. Lebron James warm-up for three hours before their winning game against Detroit Pistons... and it paid well for him and his team. so, the first game that needs some quickness and agility, i went ppfffffttttt... lost my breath and disoriented. but, as the activity went on, i was like a diesel engine... the warmer i get, the better i did.
of course, the highlight of it all was the party.. that is, after all the hoopla... my tech peers were having rum and extra joss as booze... we can't possibly party there without that most important poison party peps should have - alcohol.
we consume a few liters here and there and by party time, i was lock and loaded...
more beers flowed into my table as we brought along 4 kegs of it... i can sense my ears burning like hell.. hehe.. but what can i say, even with all the hotties and the bootilicious humps, i was as tame as my doberman dog...
there was the videoke singing contest and i was told there was some disco dancing? i may have skip that part or was too drunk to remember, or my friend, arden's just messing with my head, but i swear i didn't remember anything of that nature.
finally, even with all the nice chatters from everyone at the party, i wasn't gonna let the night slip away without me dipping into the pool... exactly the cure i needed from that burning sensation.. again, after a few paddles, i was catching my breath once more... deym! oh well, with alcohol flowing from my arteries, that should keep my heart in trouble pumping and filtering blood that goes in and out of it.. but as always, i came through... i was like a kid sliding down on those slides... smiling sheepishly and grinning all over..
great! the whole party peps move their beerfest right beside the pool... once again, i had that less needed beer replenishment.. hurrah!
finally, the pool is closing down... but not after i slid down a million times in the slides, thank you.... went back to the place where we partied earlier and found my pal, olem. he's been belting out all night his favorite songs at the videoke machine.. it's almost like he had the mic's wire tied to his neck so no one can take it away.. ahaha!
he beg me to sing.. but sorry, i don't sing with amateurs... hehe.. we shared some "vital" information and gave him a few advice... but i wasn't really sure if there's anything substantial about the whole chitchat thing... i was tired and drunk and all that was left of me - is a tinny winy sense of mind.. if there's even a bit of it...
i remembered being at our bed (me and val shared the same bed) but i don't remember how i got there... practically slept with my wet clothes on! and, the aircon was blowin' like crazy.. perfect!
woke up with a sore throat and a grumbling stomach... i didn't eat much the night before.. good thing, breakfast was ready... gorged three plates of fried rice, scrambled eggs, some tocino and broiled fish...
went back to bed cos i've got a feeling i'm not feeling well... later that morning, some of the guys were saying they are going out to island hop... what, island hop?!? ummm, no thanks.. i guess, sleeping with your wet clothing on and having the aircondition set to full blast isn't a good idea after all.. cos the whole time i was suppose to enjoy that morning, i spend it in our room listening to music...
some guys went to finish off the beers... had a few shots here and there (again) but later decided against it cos we'll be riding the bus in the afternoon and it'll be hard to take a leak later... so, free beers, no more.
went back to the city with coughs and runny nose to boot... the enjoyment scale, with 10 being the highest? i'd say sex. err, i mean six.
some picture may follow soon, but in the meantime.....
done.
so, we came back a long time ago (last saturday) and this is the only time i can yak about it.. i guess, being old and weary just made me way, way mellowed down... everyday when i get home, sitting on the sofa, watching TV... in just a few minutes, i feel soooo sleepy already i wanna hit the bed as quickly as i could.. shesh! whatever happened to me?!? i guess spending hours in the gym did it in for me. but i really can't complain... if people say i look "good" these days.. that's very rewarding.. so, i'll press on and continue to sweat it out, drop the weight, suffer more pain, hurdle with the equipments, pop some supplements, eat properly (diet is one letter short of die) and continue to focus.
well, the team building slash summer outing slash rainy days slash field trip was good. though i fumbled in some of the activities slash games and lost my breath with that sprint-kindda-pass-the-torch competition.. thanks to me, we were beaten soundly by just a few seconds cos i fell hard on the tires... but we won a few.. enough to save face.
we had some pretty tough task that day... mr. gary, our facilitator, did warn us about how physical it was gonna be... the theme alone says,"Beyond Limits." wow, we're supposed to encounter things that are, well, beyond us. i was pretty fit to do all that but we all went and dive into it without warming ourselves up... a very important factor for any rigorous physical activity. Lebron James warm-up for three hours before their winning game against Detroit Pistons... and it paid well for him and his team. so, the first game that needs some quickness and agility, i went ppfffffttttt... lost my breath and disoriented. but, as the activity went on, i was like a diesel engine... the warmer i get, the better i did.
of course, the highlight of it all was the party.. that is, after all the hoopla... my tech peers were having rum and extra joss as booze... we can't possibly party there without that most important poison party peps should have - alcohol.

wrote a lot of stuff i couldn't freakin' finish... someday, i will compile them all and it'll be the biggest smorgasboard post i'd ever have.
i'm staying up late cos i'm moving music from my PC to my walkman phone. we'll travel to Bogo, that's somewhere north for our team building cum summer-not-held-on-summer outing... (correction: copying. to the anti-piracy watchdogs all over the world: this one's for my own consumption... promise.)
i'm ready to hit the log.. my shoulder, the right, hurts. my wrists doesn't hurt anymore but my shoulders acting up lately. the good thing though, i can lift really heavy weights now.... sorry, i'm not making any sense tonight and neither am drunk... just sleepy baby... just sleepy.
here's a lullaby for you guys and gals... sleep tight...

the quck and the fox
man, i've been pumping iron for months now and i thought as time progress my muscles would essentially get used to them. well, it hasn't. i guess it's because i always pushed myself a tad more each sessions. i'm, uh, gym fanatic these days.
it hasn't been easy. i make sure of that. i'd spend hours and hours of making sure my stay there is "worthwhile." i can honestly say i sweat profusely more than anyone else. since i'm doing this all for myself, i have to keep myself motivated by whatever crosses my mind. another big motivation i've been getting lately is the fact that people, as in many people, took notice of the "changes." and if people say otherwise, that's just as motivating as well.
a friend of mine who works out in a plush gym uptown gave me a glimpse of what and how his gym looks like... a wide array of cardio machines like the treadmill, stationary bike and the likes.. all made by Nautilus.. oh yeah, everything there is made of Nautilus.. fantastic, huh? then there's the sauna bath.. and the very affordable 5G's per annum fee. that's roughly 400++ per month.
"but wait, that's not all!" hehe.. famous punchline from a home shopping network TV ad.. yeah, he mentioned a lot more of positive things in there.. he's probably swaying me over, but still and all, i'd stick to my rustic gym.. where people scram for equipments to use, where humidity these days is close to hell, where smelly shits from whomever and whatever abounds, where nobody tells you how to do things properly, where everyone seems to think they have thee body to die for after just a few sessions, where dirt, germs, handles, benches and equipment go hand-in-hand harmoniously, where a lot of assholes lurk around and are quick to "dethrone" you of your "station," if you leave it for a milliseconds.. ahhhhhh, i can go on forever... but what the hell, i love it anyway!
so, it's not totally pretty in there but i've met a few friends and getting that much needed inspiration - to beat everyone out! haha... yeah, haha... watch me... !;)

hhhaaaaaaa... that was actually a sigh there.. our water system at home had been troublesome lately. worst, the guys we contracted to fix it did a crap job. first, it work for a day then stopped.. so we didn't have water for days.. good thing our preggy househelp had the initiative to fetch us some water from a nearby watering hole.. the guys went back to fix the "back job" but not after charging us some more for additional parts and materials. they had it fixed (again) but today, right now, what comes out of the faucet and the shower is some murky and rusty water. i'd love to buy a baseball bat and whack those guys up for one helluva messy job they did.
so, i've been bathing myself up with those unhygienic H2O the last couple of days.. just great!
***
exactly a week ago, my friend, dexter invited me over his house. i know it's his birthday on the 13th all right but it was just the 10th yet. i thought he just wanted to have a few beers.. so i said, "YES" halfheartedly when he told me days ago when we bump into each other at LTO.. if you've been to Pluto which isn't a planet no more (if my memory serves me right) these days, then you didn't know i "semi-retired" to drinking beer and whatnot. therefore, unless it's your grand birthday or tomorrow's the end of the world and i have to enjoy life before leaping to the other side, i don't feel the need to drown myself with "wine and women" no more..
when the day came, he texted to confirm if i was coming. i said, "i'll try very hard to attend.. cio" of which he probably took it as a "not sure" answer. he replied, "it's my birthday cio, it's just you, me and louie. brought some beers. bring your ass down here!" or something to that effect. and so, i GO!
as it turned out, it was his farewell party cos he's living for the US. great! what a surprise, really. he's really like that - full of surprises!
as the party wore on and as more beers went empty, i got a bit gutsy. so, to give me some sort of closure about that incident months ago between me and lui, i finally spill out some harsh comments about what he did. it would have been easier if he simply said, "sorry, my fault" and i could have easily "forgive and forget" about the whole thing, but we all have our bad days and excuses. so, to make this short, he finally said the magic word, "sorry." now, if people would have been like that, you know, taking responsibility for your actions, admitting your fault and apologize if you've run over some ego's, then life would have been easier.. dontchathink? well, whatever.
we never really had a row.. there's just some sort of gap but case closed and we moved on.
and by the way, dexter has a friend who knows how to do a David Blaine street magic. we were all awed by it. fantastic.. fabulous.. great.. mind boggling.. awesome... ooohhhh.. aahhhh
minutes past 11pm, bade them goodbye, wish my good friend, dex, well and and gave him a hug... he'll be gone for quite a long time...
***
now, i'm hungry and ready to hit the gym.. what a mix-up, eh? really, it's time to zit my mouth up.
anyway, let the pain begin.
PS
excuse the spellings, grammar and punctuations... was in such a hurry to get this piece done and over with.. many, many apologies.

Can you spot the female bird?
Below are two birds...
Study them closely...
See if you can spot which of the two is the female.
It can be done!
Even by one with limited bird watching skills...

good thing, bautista and aj banal were able to win their respective fights. no knockouts though.
that's why i'll always appreciate watching pacman fight.. thee most exciting fighter in the planet today. Chuck Liddell and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson UFC fight? bring it on!
this one's far better and should be more exciting than anything else.
forget about laker, mavs or miami... they are all history now. let the young guns rule!

what's her name?
i'm one of her huge big admirer... since it was a relaxing day today.. found some time to look her up on the net.. which i did and finally found the person behind the voice.. and just as what i expected her to be, she looked exactly how i pictured her... whooohooow! lovely indeed.
anyway, she's just as bubbly, articulate and deep as she is on radio. boy, i love reading her candid post and "don't give a damn" attitude to whomever bumps into her site... be it her friends or some poseurs.. she's just as lively and vivid.
and her friends.. oh her friends.. i'd love to be in those circles.. talk about those big bands out there in Manila.. who doesn't wanna be?
i dunno how she looks now.. as in today.. presently.. but i bet she's still hot and sexy...
well, my day is now complete.

exactly what i felt!
i bet BORING is the right word.
i rest my case.
***
was ranting above.. mind it, not.
feels good to be hurtin' y'know, physically. after all that exercise to get a bod like spartans, it's best to feel the pain/s later.
my beer-pal, dexter came over to the office earlier. me and this guy, we go a long way back. we drink beer like juice... downing one after another.. whew! those were the days.. i missed the days we spent hours arguing over nothing.. i'm usually the instigator of our "battle" cos i refuse to agree with everything we talk about..
having been fueled by alcohol, we usually end up speaking foreign languages.. usually that english twang with a twist of slur.. hehe
so, during our short chat, he mentioned about drinking tonight and "bringing back the glory days.." further, he offered to smoke our lungs out, to which i politely decline. he said, "when did you quit, yesterday?" then laughing obnoxiously. yeah, yeah... you guys don't believe me, huh? that was well, as usual and predictable.
shit, you guys do what you wanna do with your lives but i'm sticking my guns out. i'm getting older for that kindda crap.. shut-up, back-off and leave me alone, will yah?
it's friday night. i have a standing offer. my friend's bar is open and i'm sure i'll have a sure seat in there.. not to mention, a VIP treatment.
unfortunately, both mind and body says NO!
i'll go ZZzzzzz early tonight and smilin'.

goodbye aida, lorna and fe
my neck's got some kindda allergy.. wonder where i got this. a few days ago it was itchy, now it's giving me some sulky feeling... let me remember the ways...
the damn beddings of our "love nest" must've been the penetrator! err, i mean, perpetrator...i can only count with my one hand the times it's been replace with a new one.. like yesterday!
or it could be the water.. since our water is pump all the way from down under, it could have suck some unwelcome entities along the way.
shit, could be my shirt/s. seems our house help had been slacking lately since she's decided to "stay-out" of the household. worst, she's two months preggy. oh, what am i supposed to expect from her staying at her boyfriend's house, pray the rosary? and so, that explains the nauseating smell emanating from my clothings.. her lackadaisical drive to deliver effective and efficient service. tsk tsk tsk....
or it could also be from the gym... you know, the rust from those bars, the sweat from all the people who've used the benches, handles and plates... they've dried out there and formed a very potent germs or bacteria... that must've been the CULPRIT!
ahhhh, i can only wonder.
meanwhile, went out last saturday night purposely to pay my debt to a friend. since the other week i was at my other friend's bar, Beach Roots, got drunk and forgot to pay my bills, i decided to go back and "clean up my acts."
we had a few rounds and as usual, i got drunk again.. went to some sleazy bar (me only cos i was trippin')... y'know, the whole nine yards.. boy, did i have fun? hmmmmmm... a bit but i felt a few regrets after. as i drove back home, i got really, really sleepy driving the motorcycle. you know, the breeze during the wee hours of the morning.. the chill... i was there driving super drunk and wasted... i almost got into an ACCIDENT!
the next day or hours later, woke up famish and ate everything on sight. a week of hard labor and pain to shape-up... all went down to nil. GREAT!
so now, i'm not going out unless it's really a special occasion. make no mistake about it, i still enjoy the feeling of being inebriated and getting that "high" feeling, but life's got new meaning for me now... i see things differently and better. i don't think i will waste my time for that purpose anymore unless i have to. i can't even find the time to paint our room and the other rooms in our house, or rip my music CD's back to my PC (which i missed listening a lot), or fix the arrangement of my brother's room (which is where i usually hang around), or go to the rooftop where the white lady roams around, etc. etc. etc.... yet i still have time for a good freaking time?!?
nah, i've had my days with all that nightlife and fun. i'm happy for my friends who're happy with their lives... but i guess, this definitely is the curtain call for me... time to bade nightlife goodbye.... i love you... but i won't miss you... mwah!
unless of course, this babes lure me back....

tagay ta bay!
wow!
took me forever to write again. hey!
i've got few thing to take care of... sorry all.
so, what's up with me? i'm great! i've been shaping up my lifestyle. it's hard doing these things when nothing seems to inspire me... but i have to find a way to rekindle some lost flame... this time, for the right reason. i can't possibly think of anyone to inspire me right now except to look forward to days being in the beach or spending some weekend bar-hopping.... looking fit and buff.. hehe
not too long ago when i can't resist anything alcoholic that's being offered to me. practically gulp them down as they come my way. and the smoke? oh, the smoke... simply irresistible, baby! i dream of smoking one every now and then... when i'm with friends who can't stop smoking their lungs out, i'm tempted to jump in and do some puffing... today and now, i haven't lit one.
since i managed to survive this long without that darn poison-weed and practically cutting down my booze consumption to almost none, i thought i can also do other things and be able to sustain it... so, yeah, i went and entered uncharted waters to test myself and to prove to everyone whose been very critical about my "change of scenery" mode including wifey, my manager (whose also my smoke buddy for years now), officemates, beer friends and everyone who can't accept the fact that people do change for the better and some do make a difference.
well today, i've been able to sustain it boys and girls and i will continue with my resolve no matter how painful, difficult and tiring it may seem.
case close. next.
***
meanwhile, we've had more EBs (Eyeball) in the past and more still coming up but i guess everyone gets burned out once in a while. i probably need to switch my time spent there back here again.. i dunno.. you know me, i keep changing my mind all the time.
***
wifey's grandma died a week ago and as usual, all that "ceremonies" and "rituals" are again practiced with feelings. i feel for people who have gone to the other side but let's save our energy, time and money for all that hullabaloo and whatnot to better things... i dunno what but i think we can find one.. given the resources...
if and when i die (knock on wood!), i don't want to burden anyone to go through all that stuff... i would rather have me cremated as soon as i'm not breathing anymore. weird.
***
work sucks right now with all that shit our HR's making us do in the morning.. so many times are wasted for all that BS. my job right now always gets me in to the "hot seat.." the pressure i'm getting practically from everyone these days ain't funny at all. i'm afraid i could snap one day and just go to the mountains and be a hermit.
***
as always, the good Lord has kept me together from all this "spices" in life and i can still managed to enjoy whatever good that comes my way... still and all, whatever cross you and i's way, appreciate and learn, dude...
ciao!

got a little tired of blogging lately. been doing other interesting stuffs. sorry, no beers or night outs. just wholesome, clean fun. weekends are supposed to be my "beer day" but i haven't had the urge to buy me one or go out to the sprouting bars in Cebu. i think they are all over the place now. got invited by my beer bud, lui and dex last night but i was in la-la land already.. too late, dudes.
besides, i'm too tired and exhausted even by just turning this PC on and play NBA live. guess this is a sign of old age, huh? just when my PC's really nice and cool, that's when i couldn't find the time to tinker with it... pity.
worst, i couldn't get my thoughts together for this post... damn, too many things to do, too little time... i'll just compensate my shortcomings with this picture using my sis' cam... nobody said you should like it...

tired. exhausted. exasperated. burnout.
whatever you wanna call it, that's how i'm feelin' right now.
sister arrived yesterday. eversince, i've been in the driver's seat. i haven't driven a cage on other days except sundays. so, it's once again a "new" experience for me to be caught in rush hours (which i usually breeze through with a motorcycle), extreme heat (it's summer, remember?), dealing with assholes on the road (be it a stupid pedestrian or a crazy drivers alike) and maneuvering through thin roads (i'd say 90% of our roads are two-way street only) can be such a pain in the ass.. literally.
kindda fun though but my freakin' work keeps bugging me. i'd get calls and text messages and it's usually important and urgent.. like it's a matter of life and death all the time. no kidding dude. it's hard to enjoy being on vacation leave when i have to think about the implications if i don't get the job done. sigh... talk about "vacation..." i'd love to be off of my job for a while these days... they are soooo inconsiderate!
it's gonna be this way in the coming days... i'll never have that "peace" of mind when i'm out there trying to be a brother, a security, a driver, tourist guide, helper, etc. etc. etc.
i'd love a bucket of beer roght now but i have to wake up early tomorrow and "meet and greet" our former babysitters and househelp at the pier..
so, have a good one to YOU.

EB and BR
one of our EB's at a friend's placewell, i finally had a nightlife.. that was, "One night only" though. since we had an Eye Ball (EB) again for the nth time, i decided to drop by Beach Roots (BR). yeah, you read it right, BR is coming back to life. i thought it would be the last time i'm gonna type the name when i mentioned it a few post ago.
so, we had an EB again at Handuraw's Pizza. though pricey, t'was yummy! had a good laugh and exchange of opinion and ideas with more than ten people who attended. why only ten, you asked? well, it's still a new forum. it was just setup early this year. nice thing about it is its quality of people who regularly visits and checks the site..
oh, and mr. AJ was kind enough to foot the bill! yeah, had pizza, some burritos and san mig light - FREE.
man, the good stuff just keeps on comin, eh?
about 12mn, we adjourned and i went straight to BR. found lui, earl, paul and later, johnlee. feels great to meet old friends again. lui did mention about his last text message.. it was actually the trigger point and the deciding factor of my nightlife deprivation days.. though i was in the mood for a scene change for many months now, it was his message that me made wanna go homebody in a snap.
so, the place is cool and there's plenty of space to move around. you can sit comfortably with your legs wide open... hehe.. my balls were having a ball!
plenty of chicks to drool on but it's a little dark to get a good look at them... some of the bar owners before at Mango Square partnered with each other and came up with a new setup. i don't feel any regrets whatsoever for not joining in. it feels good to be free from all the "politics" behind the management. not to mention, the stiff competition. if and when i jump into the bar business scene, i want it to be mine and mine only. no if's and but's.
my observation though is, it's a pretty tight place to move around. i don't wanna preempt anything but with that setup, it spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E in the making. they should allocate enough space for people to roam around, especially for those who wants to go to the CR, or to another bar.. well, it's still new and there's plenty of room for improvement... so there.
home by 4am.

i'll write this in a hush...
eight more days and sister's comin' home... i'm super excited with the new shoes she bought for me... those were, according to her "high end" pieces of foot equipment. that would be nice to flaunt in the gym.. hehehe... thanks sis!
now, everytime she's home, it always spells F-U-N! F-U-N! F-U-N! we'll be spending a lot of time in the beach, the night outs, and all the gimmicks she and her friend could think of... i love you sis!
wonder when my bro's homecoming... he's been there since 2001. hopefully soon bro...
***
last sunday afternoon, we had a good time swimming at the pool of Family Park. my kiddo, Neil, is getting gutsier as time passes by. he jumps around and slides by the pool for adults. strangely, he's not hanging around the kiddie pool area often. and, the boy can swim, though barely moving, at least, he's trying to get through the other side.. as for moi, my strokes are getting better and my stamina's improving thanks to the cardio workouts i've been having and a smoke-less routine.
the first time we went there, i could hardly breath after a lap or two of freestyle. last sunday, i had a blast! a few more sundays and i probably could make 10-15 laps of non-stop swimming... it's a little hard to do that though cos a lot of people hang around there on sundays... and some even do their talking right in the middle! worst, its zero to nil (i doubt if there's even any) visibility on the lines below it.. thus, it's almost a sureshot you're going astray when you reach the other side of the pool.
i'd like it a lot if we can do the swimming sessions at the abellana sports complex this sunday. it's much larger, clearer and clean waters, much deeper and people can't simply hang around somewhere. we'll see about that SOON.
***
i'll have our EB's (Eye Balls) as my inspiration to look good. since becoming a regular yakker in some forums (ten, more or less) i noticed how frequent they have this meetings.. and even though i hate pictures, i really don't have a choice cos a lot of people bring their cams during these EB's... mine included.
so, more than a month after getting back in the gym with no reason at all but to feel better about my conditioning, there's even more good reason to sweat it out in the gym... those EB's!
tell you what, it's exciting to join these EB's...because...
***
anyway, my friends open a new bar/s somewhere uptown.. i'll probably check it out over the weekend and see if i should regret not joining-in the classy group of "bar owners club..." well, i'm at peace with my decision so i shouldn't feel any envy or regrets whatsoever... in fact, i should be happy for them cos they're living up to their dream... they are an inspiration for thriving people like me.... congratulations are in order, i believe...
curtain call and the fat lady sing... adieus amigos and amigas..

am i gay?
listening to this song according to one comment is soooo gay? what? WTF?
if i felt like crying does that i mean i'm kindda gay... ahhhh, fuck off!
listen, be smart or get off my case....
and by the way, if you don't know how to listen and view streaming videos from broadcasting sites seamlessly, then you ain't too smart either... you know the drill, right?
i'm with my buddy, strong ice beer, right now. damn, t'was tempting to go out earlier and visit the newest bars in town... meet friends and drink all night. but NO, not this time... i'm practicing restraints and consistency these days.. i can still very much hold the urge, thank you.
btw, i'm listening/viewing this music video right now and it's pretty funny looking at Kamikazee band spoofing the "queer eye for the straight guy" hosts... hey, check this out...
i love the music a lot...
***
was looking at my friendster's account and was amazed at the number of friends i have... some, i could not possibly ID.. guess i got a little too friendly, huh? i'd say fifty percent of them are those that i really know... the rest, i just add them up or vice versa... for whatever reason, i'm keeping it close to my chest.
***
i'm gonna be wasted in a few minutes and my fingers are having trouble typing the right letters so, i'm gonna cut this off and enjoy the rest of the night before i say any bleeping words... i'll be watching more videos, thanks to internet, youtube and metacafe, i don't need to go out and have fun.. it's all down here in my crib...
oh, and i've got an SMS from my friend... too late buddy, the "dude" is wasted.
***
and to all the friends i've messed up before and a few whom i'm messing now, accept my heartfelt apology... i don't know if i meant it, but whatever it is, we all know there's a reason behind all the drama...
nuf said, goodnight.

this blog needs an overhaul.. hehe
sorry fans (my assuming-ness is in the works today, so, indulge me) for barely making it here... i'm not really that busy.. in fact, i've got plenty of time, but i'm using a few it on something else. so, whatever i lose here, i gain it somewhere else.
yeah, i might have to overhaul this blog tonight or tomorrow. wait, tonight? it's friday! why am i gonna burn brows on a friday night? you wouldn't know or even have the slightest idea why if you've been spending time figuring out why pluto is not a planet anymore instead of visiting this cool place...
i'm a "homebud" now, remember?
well, i don't plan anything during weekends anymore... but sundays is a sure swim day for the family. be in the beach or the pool... i've got to get me a swim trunks before i get myself infected with STD for renting one often.. hehehe
also, the house is turning out beautifully as days go by. much of the paintings are done - both interior and exterior.. i'd say we've covered eighty percent of the job.. wifey bought a few/new furnitures and the one thing i am dying to get my ass on is the living room set we've ordered days ago... i can sleep sitting on it while watching TV... it's huge and one helluva comfy sofa to sit on...
the workin' out session i've been having more than a month now is doing great.. i'd like to brag about my improvements and how fabulous it's going, but hey, i ain't doin' no shit like that today...
i've made new friends... a lot of them and i can only count with my one hand the people whose into vices... most of them are health conscious, family-oriented, caring and responsible souls... and i definitely, definitely love the new scenery and company i've shifted myself into...
i wouldn't really have much trouble shifting from one trip to another cos i am very flexible and versatile with the way i deal with people.. most of all, i don't need to be someone else to fit-in with them... i can always be ME.
and the best part of this new experience? i am well accepted and they enjoy my company.. excuse my honesty, but that's bragging aside...
why the shift? present time calls for it.. i saw friends losing respect for each other... it's hard and awkward to elaborate but it's easy to see... i myself felt that... having spent too much time jamming with friend/s, you lose the "magic" and the respect a wee bit..day-after-day... and I DON'T SUBSCRIBE to that idea.
i am in "hibernate mode," suffice to say.
while on this mode, i'll be putting up another BLOG wherein i'll post all those funny jokes i've encountered while lurking in the NET.
the LINK to that.... later.
and i just love Angel Locsin...

SR2
this is not a good time to write... my energy's drained, had a row with wifey, CSI vegas is currently showing and worst of all, nothing inspires me at the moment.
anyway, i had a good learning time with our company's recollection yesterday. i'm no catholic or anything and neither an atheist, but i have to say i've pick-up few pieces of "new" tools in dealing with life. though i'm not totally agreeable with everything the recollection master said, it was generally something i've been meaning to hear and a necessity... sort of a refresher course about the basics.
i guess, since everything these days are handed to us in silver platter, we've forgotten the very basic things we've learned before... about respect, discipline, service, commitment, etc. and everything about the world seemed "practical." when in fact, things aren't really what they seem... it's all about having too much liberty, sex, lust, filth... well, in short, SIN.
yesterday's activity got me grounded again... not that i wasn't, but grounded in a different way and seeing things in a new perspective.
***
earlier, i was at my forum mate's place. it was his birthday. this guys is a german expat... we're supposed to go "park-ing" today but i can't say NO to this guy.... a very nice, cool, genius and down-to-earth person.
neil was crying cos he had everything prepared for what was supposed to be our scheduled sunday swimming session at the family park... the googles, kicking boards, etc. and i have to cancel it. sorry kiddo.. promise next time we'll hit the pool like crazy...
i love the route i'm taking now... more healthy and family oriented... i'm looking forward to next sunday already for our newfound weekly activity.
going back to earlier's party, we had a good chat over bottomless coffee! geeez, i must have drank 10 cups of some brazilian tasters coffee. oh, the food was way, way plenty for a few peps, but whose complaining?
played billiards and were served with whatever those drinks only Guenter knows what. though i barely see my "drunken master" friends these days, but hey, i've got new ones whose trips i can easily ride along.... next saturday, they're inviting me to some trek to mt. manunggal. it's an overnight activity. have to really give it a good thought cos i've never been to such activity, much more, place.
one friend of mine can attest how i've been wishing to do such activity during those nights we're too wasted to make sense... and here it is!
***
i've just read over at my friendster's account bulletin that our defunct bar, Beach Roots is re-opening again, soon. well, good luck guys!
we're supposed to start a new one again but due to financial constraints, past experience (or should i say "bad"), and the location, i was a little hesitant to jump into the "bar ownership" scene again. the thought of having one is cool but running it with friends whose personality changes when they become your business associate/s, i say let's better stay friends. it's not like i'm saying this without basis... i've seen it all and it ain't funny.
but i wish them all the best. i hope this time, they'd run it better and avoid any conflicts in the future... i'll be there guys... soon.
***
oh yeah, this forum thingy brought me another gift courtesy of my mate all the way from Atlanta, Georgia, SR2. he gave each one of us a 2GB flash disk. now, i can't stop this new found hobby/interaction of mine... it gets even better as days go by...
anyway, that's it for tonight... keep livin'.... boys and girls...
note: edit this tomorrow when my brain's fresher...

played billiards and were served with whatever those drinks only Guenter knows what. though i barely see my "drunken master" friends these days, but hey, i've got new ones whose trips i can easily ride along.... next saturday, they're inviting me to some trek to mt. manunggal. it's an overnight activity. have to really give it a good thought cos i've never been to such activity, much more, place.
one friend of mine can attest how i've been wishing to do such activity during those nights we're too wasted to make sense... and here it is!

i've just read over at my friendster's account bulletin that our defunct bar, Beach Roots is re-opening again, soon. well, good luck guys!
we're supposed to start a new one again but due to financial constraints, past experience (or should i say "bad"), and the location, i was a little hesitant to jump into the "bar ownership" scene again. the thought of having one is cool but running it with friends whose personality changes when they become your business associate/s, i say let's better stay friends. it's not like i'm saying this without basis... i've seen it all and it ain't funny.
but i wish them all the best. i hope this time, they'd run it better and avoid any conflicts in the future... i'll be there guys... soon.

oh yeah, this forum thingy brought me another gift courtesy of my mate all the way from Atlanta, Georgia, SR2. he gave each one of us a 2GB flash disk. now, i can't stop this new found hobby/interaction of mine... it gets even better as days go by...
anyway, that's it for tonight... keep livin'.... boys and girls...
note: edit this tomorrow when my brain's fresher...

political turncoatism
well, had a changed of plan last night. my posse from qatar texted me in the afternoon and asked if i'd be available for some chat-sessions later.. who? me? of course pal! all scheduled appointments: cancelled.
good thing when i boot up my system, all four led-indicators of my modem lighted up.. meaning, i'm on-line hombre!
since re-installing everything on my system, i haven't had the chance of installing Yahoo messenger just yet... i never had an inkling i'll be needing it til last night. nah, even my siblings wouldn't chat with me over the net... there's always the phone dude.. or so i thought.
wrong, but happy to see my pal sporting a long hair and a freakin thick mustache.. thanks to webcam..
though he initially planned to stay there for two years, he told me he'd opt to not extend his contract... the bhoy is homesick. he said, the money he earns couldn't possibly equate being far from his GF, folks, siblings and friends... told you dude..
a month ago, i read someone said something about how hard it is to be living here with a meager salary and dealing with the high cost of basic commodity... but no matter how hard and difficult the times is, it's also about having fun with your job and being with the family. so, even if your budget barely make both ends, so long as you're enjoying with your life, i say, CHEERS to that!
that was "someone" saying all that... can't agree more.
anyway, still had a chance to play Call of Duty after our two hour chat... now, i feel better!

hmmmmm... takes forever now to post a new story, huh?
i've been really busy lately. barely noticed the months fly by... already it's march? whow! time flies when you're havin' fun indeed...
what's keeping me busy when i'm not downing no booze no more and been going home early the last few weeks, you ask?
the answer my friend is: SECRET.
(OT: i can friggin hardly concentrate doing this post even now.. )
so, anyway, i honestly don't need to go out these days to have fun... cos the things i can do to enjoy and celebrate life is boundless.
like time just passes by so fast... i wish i could do some more before my trip to la la land...
guess what? it's friday and it's usually the ritual of us friends (real, fake or whatever) to go out and paint the town red during these days, but tonight, my plan is to hang around the house, go to the rooftop, get some six packs of strong ice beer and chill while watching the stars... and possibly hang out with wifey and neil if they're up to it. haven't been there for a while though it's just a few steps away from my "battle room."
then there's plenty of movies to watch on DVD... no, i'm not gonna tell you if it's pirated or otherwise... he he he!
and, i have to learn how to use the darn photoshop software so i could make me a nice signature for my forum handles... still haven't figured that out yet!
what's more, there's also the flash software i haven't installed since i bought it months ago... i'm very interested how those "masters" of web design create those nice and flashy animations... i'd love to make one of my own... someday.
to top it all, there's huge, huge space on my hard disk that needs to be filled-up with a lot of PC games beybee! most of the games i already installed there, i haven't accomplished or finished yet. some, i barely touched. it'll take days to complete one game... imagine a few more?
shet, i can go on forever and waste more time but for anyone to have fun, it's all in the mind... even when you're sitting still and listening to some music spells fun already!
let's celebrate life!

what else?
well, i'm very excited my sister's coming over last week of this month. our yaya's (babysitters) since birth and now living in manila are also coming over with their children... all expense paid by sistah... of course, she's bringing in some goodies... i'm smiling ear-to-ear here.. heh heh!
oh, my bro in NJ is gonna get married this month too! wow, what an eventful month this is!
bar business, scene and hopping is out of the picture as of the moment..
done yakking dude... 'til next time...
