looks like someone had a rude welcome at the gym earlier. i wasn't really mindful of others... bad, bad me!
some guys, two of them were new, obviously. well, i've been rotating my time in the gym so i have no clue whose who cos i go when i'm ready and good to go. no specific time whatsoever. anyway, did some decline dumbbell press. this lift is something i'm really good at. not many in my gym can pull this one with the one hundred pounder dumbbells. so there, after doing my set, there's no way around it but to drop it.
one guy was beside me. THUD!!! the new guy was standing next to my bench. he seem to be lookin' weird at me and the dumbbells... i just went ahead and do s'more pressing.. didn't know what happened really until the PT (personal trainer) guy told me, "that dude was shocked as hell when you drop the weight!!"
i go "really?!?"
"he doesn't know you yet and he's a newbie so he's not aware of how things goes around here."
"sorry." that's all i can say albeit, embarrassed.
it's no wonder they were gone a few minutes after that incident.
so, that's my story of the day.
chill.

good.
windfall... who doesn't want one, huh?
i must admit, we're kinda having that right now.. we're selling like hotcake! how ya like that?!?
a stark contrast when you compare it to the first and second quarter of this year. that's the reason why work is really UP and i mean waaaayyy UP than it was the last time.
anyway, we're kinda built for this... we, human? yeap. we have the ability to adapt. it's up to us to get our shez together, or crack.
your choice.
it's kinda fulfilling that after all that gruesome and bloody audit last week in our submitted documentations, we emerge unscatched. not only that, we beat other local dealers who has several people working in my kinda job. they were ordered to pay surcharges and under-collections of their previous payments. ugh!
some kinda feather on our cap, yeah?!?
eat that suckers!!!
joke.
all the glory to the good Lord above.
i know people who stop believing in God and instead believe on themselves. i have my questions and doubts of His existence myself. some people would laugh at you for still believing in God. forgive them.
i can't even begin to fathom the depth of all of these things.
one thing i can be sure of, whenever i'm trapped in a foxhole and there's no way out, i would call on His name and boy, the peace and that assurance that He will deliver me from my troubles... it's really something you can't find in this world.
so yeah.. i'm here cos of Him.

work, work work!
there's no escaping work this week.
no way to outsmart it. if it's right up your face and shoved on your throat, gotta work or bust!
that was unexpected. thanks to the good Lord above, it is over and we pulled through.
guess the cockiness on my last post was tested this week. if i didn't do the smart thing before, i would have had a hard time dealing with our compliance issue.
anyway, the long weekend, thanks to the two-day holiday, is coming soon. i'll take that as my reward hehe!
hope my li'l brotha is having a grand time out there whilst celebrating his birthday... our former nanny and them families, who lives in that flood-stricken part of Manila, may their situation improve also.. watching the news is really stressful these days considering how difficult their predicaments are.
it is how it is. we just have to roll with it and hope to come out on top.
cha ching!!!

my, my..
this evening workouts has taken a toll on my sleep pattern. it's been days since i've been having sleeping problem!
had some solid thoughts earlier.. as useless, it got caught in the wind, damn! i bet if i think hard enough i could remember..
oh yeah, some people work really hard. nothing wrong with that except that it's stressful. i know a few people who do and they barely play.. it's all work, work, work.
my job, it requires a lot of working hard. i know a lot of people in my line of work who quit or gone rouge on the company they work for. they could not handle the stress.
most of them work in tandems. it's the best set-up. one takes care of the office work, the other goes out to the field to transact or process the documents.
i have managed to stay on this job for years and still can afford to "play" like workout or just chill... you know how i do it?
it's the smart.
i adhere to that saying that goes "work smart not hard."
even though i'm the only one who does everything, i got it all figured out, thanks to the good Lord above.
my system is pretty simple. i had a trainee a few months back. he's gonna be assigned to another branch and boy did he had a hard time grasping my way of doing things. he had some foul-ups along the way because he could not follow simple instructions.
and another principle i really, really like - K.I.S.S.
no, not the make out one you horny punk!
it's Keep It Simple, Stupid.
you'll accomplish more things by getting down to the basics.. when you complicate matters, you'll end up with nothing.
my son, Neil likes to complicate things. he's being philosophical as of late and i go, why are you having a hard time figuring things out, it's not rocket science?
it's the generation gap. i know.
anyway, i have to make an impression to him. ya know, give him the proper tools so that when he's all grown up, he would rather choose the path that's best for him. if i've been through that road before and i know it ain't good for him, i'd tell him.
he's a good boy though. he listens. if i would compare myself to him before when i was at his age, he is definitely way, way better than me. but, there's a good reason why we're not at par... it's something i would rather forget.
pep talk is over, i feel drowsy now thanks to GrandMa.
ciao!

24
cardio suffered a minor setback. just pushed it a little too much on the treadmill doing sprints and, it happened. calves gave in.. muscle cramped. it's been four days and the sting of the pain is still there. oh well.
will just have to work around it. there's still other cardio equipment that i can use that won't aggravate the area. shit happens.
**
went out again to party-party last friday night. my pal was in cruise mode and just let it all hang loose. i, on the other was pretty uptight.. dunno why.
as usual we got smashed. him had too much though. he practically forgot what went down on the latter part of the night whilst i remembered everything.
he dunno how he broke a chip of his front teeth. i remembered him dancing and gyrating like he's auditioning to some dancing show.. haha!
lesson learned: keep it together and never lose a grip of yourself.
***
why is it important to have ETA? so that you don't let people left hanging. in the corporate world, it's important to make projections, assessments and planning. a customer said to me once, "i just want to know exactly when cos i don't want it to be open-ended."
imagine if all people would make an open-ended projection, we'd be stuck in limbo for a long, long time.. "we'll just inform you." how about "i'll just text."
so now i appreciate when Jack Bauer said something along the lines of "what's your ETA?"
something to ponder about today, huh?

ya better run!
the internet had gone berserk again.. going on and off for days. sucks!
***
work volume had gone up considerably these days. it's a good thing i've set-up a some sorta system so that no matter how huge of a sale we make, it's all go on my end.
*****
been able to run a tad longer now. then, on HIIT, i'm scaling back to the speed i used to kill before. hope to keep it up... it's not all roses to tell you frankly.. but, it's getting better.
better post this before the effing connection goes off again!
anyway, bought Neil a new guitar. plays really nice... and expensive! when sister had a vacation a few months ago, she bought him one. after a few months, he's gotten really good at it.. pretty much beat me on some tunes! his guitar tho, well, it's quite worn out now. but still playable.
this new one, it's more than twice expensive but plays twice better too! i kinda enjoy playing guitar again. Neil would most likely surpass me, my li'l bro, Alan (who plays flawless guitar!) and my buddy, Earl. he's just fourteen and he's playing cool tunes now. he's got some good licks and plucking too! to think he's just playing for almost three months now.. he'd probably beat John Mayer when he's fully grown up.

make out session...
friday... buddy invited me to have some drinks.. declined. said i was nursing a fever.. been burning tracks on the treadmill and them cardio machines.. all that effort and pain isn't worth dick if i just go waste away on weekends..
saturday.. another invite. just when you plan to go home and chill, getting bugged at on regular basis ain't somethin' to smile about... not when the weather is really crazy and intermittent rain all over the city.
heck, lets indulge this dipshit, yeah?!?
that's what we call ourselves, by the way... moron, asshole, dickhead, dimwit... you name it, we probably blurt it!
anywho, so we went downtown and had some rum and iced tea. just a flat, hon. we're pretty fine after that.. oh, make that two flats! now, we're pretty tipsy.
went uptown... that's when things got a little interested. i dunno.. it was crazy. my pal was buying us beers when some gay, the straight lookin' kind, was being nicey-nicey with my friend and he kinda smiled at him... next thing he knew this gay guy's hands was all over his chest! anyway, he just let it go. no harm done anyway.
one thing led to another, i couldn't recall completely how things turn out but i remembered going near that gay dude who had a korean girl as her company. i had a conversation with the korean girl.. most likely, i was stuttering. with all that alcohol, whaddya expect? what happened next is something i would cringed about every time i remember it... it's kinda embarrassing yet it felt good in a bad way.. what the heck am i talking about?!?
i can't really talk about it. i mean, i would love to! thing is, my son reads this blog too!
whatta predicament!!!
anyway, feel free to draw your own conclusion. last i remember, this was a free country.

outsmart
there's a bit of shayt going around the office lately. some new folks are up my ass.. i've been doing a lot of emails to the semi-big boss explaining things. it kinda zapped the zest outta me.
we're pretty busy right now with all the shebang of things that's going on.. these kinda thing just take your focus away. i know... it's their job. might have been that they are ordered from the higher echelon of them - management.
well, lets just see how thing shape up in the coming days... then, come up with an action plan.
anyway, work can go the eff itself off... let it worry by itself.. ya know what? bring it on!!
meanwhile, conditioning had been improved a bit. the endurance had gone up, thank you!
it's gonna get tweaked, adjusted and more importantly, bump-up as days passes by.
i've got a lot of unfinished stories to tell. someday, it'll be given its proper closure. if i wasn't worried about anything else, i'd love to get me some freedom.
gotta bust my ass... for now.

filler 827
it must've been the weather or, my body is telling me to slow down.
see, i've been really putting a lot of effort with the cardio and diet thing. gotta do whatcha gotta do or else... you'd end up nowhere.
strength training is just as fierce. been doin' a lot of chins and pull-ups (neutral grip). i'm tryin' to be smart on this though.. cautious about how the body's responding..
keyword: calculated risk.
my body is really warm right now... telltale signs of overtraining. had an hour of massage earlier.
anyway, the body is sore.. really sore. time to heal up.
ZZzzzzzzz....

the three stooges - episode I
we don't go out on fridays anymore, but.. we did last week.
my ex-office mate invited another ex, and the latter invited me. it was fun! we had our usual poison of choice - red horse beer (explains why i'm bulging like a balloon).
this ex-office mate is my drinking and smoking buddy back then when he was still employed at my workplace. we would smoke very often and drink almost, like, everyday! so, when he was given the pink slip, he found work at some call center and met new friends and all.. we barely hangout anymore. i guess he got caught up with some pals that are really at his level of ya know, highly sociable kinda people. he sorta spent more time with his work and his new found friends and eventually we've taken different roads.
this other pal with whom i often hang with during weekends, well, we did have our own little "issues". i've wrote about it here sometime ago. only this january did we started to hook-up again after over a year of ex-communicado. lol!
it's always been my nature to wait and not start, ya know, yapping "what's up?" and "how's life?" i mean, i do miss the good ol' days but it's different now. we all have our families and if we don't hang out, i just channel my energy somewhere else close. like my kids, the dogs, etc.
{i've got four minutes to finish this episode and hope to continue tomorrow}
anyway, we had a good laugh, as always! we talk a lot things and boy, this dudes, their lives are really taking off.. i mean, they talk about vacations and stuff.. going abroad! geez man, i haven't been out of the country since........... birth!
so there.
time is up.

something strange....
around 2 o'clock in the morning... i was wide awake as i slept like a log in the afternoon..
dogs were barking like crazy.. unusually loud.
went down to check what's the fuss all about... might have been a suspicious person lurking around..
or a robber!
hit the lights off.. that's my technique, by the way.. waited for someone to appear in my vision..
saw a dog outside the fence.. weird. i've never seen any kinda dog like that in the neighborhood.
pretty big for a "local" or a native dog.. went closer...
BAAAMMMMM!!!!
Pudz, our rottweiller had gotten off his leash and went outside the house!!!
damn, that dog is one badass creature. you wouldn't wanna mess around with him. i almost got bitten by him twice!!
and so, when i went and call his name, i wasn't sure if he was gonna come, cos i thought he enjoyed his new found freedom so much he wouldn't wanna come back.
good thing, he went straight inside the gate's door when he heard me. took him right inside our now defunct store and he strangely, just cooperated. when inside, he didn't bark or make any noise.
thank God there was no mishap while he was outside. this dog has a temper. see, he didn't grow with us. he was given to us cos the owner kinda feel scared of him. it's nothing really, he just bit a few people in the household, ya know.
anyway, another dog story next time?

there was some news last week about a PBA player who got fined to the tune of five hundred grand and, suspended for a conference because he lashed out at the organization that makes up most of the money he made. kinda like biting the hand that feeds you. he got all this testosterone in him to say there was fixing, etc. only to retract afterwards.
tragic.
it is because of all these social sites that people use to vent out their angers or speak their mind.. or ya know, blaspheme other people. i believe you're walking a freakin' thin line my friend. people are gonna get hurt, piss and some are gonna return you the favor. and, you wouldn't like it. it gets nasty. before you know it, you're in knee-deep trouble and you can't wiggle yourself out rather easily.
and that's why in here, there's no linking to where and what especially Facebook. there's no promotion and there's less than stellar visits as compared to other blogs and sites. it's like a secret society. lol.
i did got jumpy when i started this and went telling people.. when i think about those times, i kinda regret that. there are people who will do otherwise. it's nice when they want to be accountable and all. me however, don't think so.
when i'm ready to put everything on the line, that's the time there'd be no hold's barred and things are gonna get crazy and ugly. yaiks!!!
off to the gym in a short while.

aye!
time to run again. if i was gonna go improve on my blood work, i gotta start pushing it. conditioning is where i fail at. when it comes moving weights, i got it all figured out.
it wasn't easy to start running again.. my knees are bumming out. i'm too heavy and geez, gimme some oxygen cos i'm short of breath!
ugh!
one word: SUCK IT UP, FATASS!!!!
i know, i know... gotta be hard on thyself if you ever want to accomplish things. gotta roll with it, man-up and grind to the very end.
F-O-C-U-S. eyes on the price, baby.
... too wasted (physically) to continue..

one word: SUCK IT UP, FATASS!!!!
i know, i know... gotta be hard on thyself if you ever want to accomplish things. gotta roll with it, man-up and grind to the very end.
F-O-C-U-S. eyes on the price, baby.
... too wasted (physically) to continue..

stay alive.
my BP has gone haywire. along with being superstrong and well, HUGE, there's a price to pay. i think it's high time to change the phase. it's not healthy. admittedly, this was my goal - to get freakin' strong especially with the bench cos that's where i'm weak at. as a rule, being large and strong is relative. you don't become stronger by being puny, little pansie although there are a few people who are an exception.
so, having HBP is a bummer. i eat mostly fish though occasionally i'd go have a few servings of that fatty part: the head. it's crazy how much fat you can get when you eat that part of the fish especially the large ones.
anyhow, Taylor Swift is blasting on my boom-box (lol!).. i'm having a hard time bringing myself to a point. so, later again?
chill and stay out of trouble, boys and girls.

crack is whack
my right knee feels funny. too much leg work, i guess.
my gym is on a crackdown. locker crackdown, that is. see, i took a pretty good advantage of them lockers. they were quite lax with the whole thing but as the time went by, they are slowly getting into my nerves.
oh well. some good things never last.
goin' back to the knee, i think i've lost lotsa tendons there with all sorts of exercise i've thrown its way. good thing no mishap happened or i'd be on a wheelchair now. see, it feels like there's some lose screw on my right knee that at some point in time while walking on the treadmill or doin' squat, it seems ready to bend or detach itself. weird? you got that right!
another snag. yet another reason to back off from all that gymin'. it's better to drink, dine and be merry yeah?!? NOT!!!
at twenty one hundred and fourteen hours (09:41 pm) i'm ready to hit the sack. i am getting really old, huh? it used to be that i sleep like twelve midnight or in the wee hours of the morning like on a regular basis.
geez, between nine and ten in the evening, it's lights out baby!!! it's been the norm since, uhm... shiz, i can't even begin to remember!!!!

somethin' somethin'
so we had an excuse to go beachin' today. some dickhead, err, guy in the family had a birthday. off we went.
nice beach. bet we'll come back again soon. but, not the way we went today. we were so cramped up in the vehicle. good for me, i'm the driver. i get to have my seat all by myself. them, it was an exhibition of some stunt you'd only find on TV like that "Ripley's" thing.
then, i hate driving at night. the road leading back to where we're at was so dark and worst, under repair! good thing wifey can drive cos my eyeballs are about to pop looking at the road which, duh, road visibility was at its worst. picture a very dark road, lotsa potholes and heavy rain.
anyway, been watching bio movies or series and stuffs. just finished watchin' Hatfields & McCoys. highly recommended.
time to go ZZzzzzz...

rubout.
Manny Pacquiao's last fight was marred with controversy. today's, well, it had to be even more dubious. but hey, you can argue however you want, me thinks it ain't gonna change a thing. i'm not gonna stress myself out over that. even Pacquiao was graceful enough to acknowledge he lost even though he knew he won decisively. i saw it. some of you did. we know what exactly happened. just breath and let it go. let the mob kings, queens and bookies figure it out.
now, gimme my darn popcorn!!!!

lived another day
yesterday, i had... well, i dunno how to say it - i wasn't ready to workout! actually, i skipped monday's workout cos i felt i wasn't ready yet. my CNS was still revolting after last saturday's balls-to-the-walls session. since time was pretty tight, when i had the chance to get my arse into the gym, i wanted to start real quick.. but, sister called. we talk for almost an hour. by then, the last meal i took was almost a goner. completely digested, to be exact.
there wasn't any way i'm gonna go out and get some food anymore.. i just soldered on and hope i'd be fine. it was LEG day. that's a capital L-E-G cos it's one exhausting session. anyone who trains legs knows how it'll sapped your energy to the ground.
anyway, i figured i'll do front squat. you don't see to many gym rat do that thing. i do 'em regularly! then, when i'm done with them set i'd go do walking lunges. i imagined, if i wanna have a really nice pair of wheels, i better do the hard things.
so there.
that's when i almost had a mishap.
about the fourth set of doing back-to-back of front squat and walking lunges, i almost fainted. i felt light-headed and it was almost lights out!!
i was ready to collapse, man!
shook myself momentarily and immediately call it a day. that would have been an emergency. the gym would have been in chaos and it would have been another one of those "most" embarrassing moment in my shit-list.
good thing, i got away with it.
nonetheless, today was better. took a nice good meal one hour before hitting the gym and blasted shoulders and chest to oblivion! had a strong session all throughout.
it was awesome, dude!
on the western front, sister just texted me the deets of what went down with my brother and his father-in-law's almost all out brawl... what happened to him and that prick, err, father of his, ain't no laughing matter. but, i'll save that for tomorrow's... i'm too thrashed, hun!

brother.
well, i just received some disturbing news about my brotha abroad. while me and sis were chatting over the phone, he texted sis about him and his father-in-law almost getting into a brawl. if my sister received a text like that from me, i don't think she'd be surprised. i mean, i'm kinda like the guy who gets into trouble with my in-laws and usually, when there's trouble at home or anywhere, it's almost always a brawl!
my bro is like a gentle giant. when we were younger, he'd resort to crying when somebody in schools starts a fight with him. me being the older brah, i take care of the business (his enemies).
you know, i haven't seen him in person for over a decade now. he was a bit of a pain in the ass while he was here. guess being single and all, he's too carefree. he was like a boarder at home and pretty much lived like a king. but, having been married and all, he's pretty much a better man. sister could attest to that. i guess it all boils down to ya know, in-laws living with you.. i know i don't like my in-laws around me -- often. they're OK to see sometimes but when they're in your face most of the time, it gets annoying.. what's bad is when they start calling the shots at home.. and the worst part? they're not even the one that's putting food on the table!!
if i was there and saw what went down, you can bet your ass i'll be the one to do the whopping or get whopped at... doesn't matter as long as it's not him that got beaten. i have always been like that - to my family. maybe some friends. i get really suicidal for them when something nasty like that happens.
make sure when there's a brawl, no one tries to stop it. especially me!! it is important that everyone around knows we're just trying to let off some steam.. somebody's gonna get hurt but no one's gonna get killed, i promise! well, i don't know about the opponent but i don't intend to kill anyone unless the situation deteriorates further.
what happens when someone stops the fight and you end up in a bad position, pray you don't get beaten to the pulp!
anyway, i imagined seeing a better picture of him and his family compared to me and my gang. but what do you know, life's full of surprises.. them twist and turn, it's hard to predict what's goin' next.
i feel really, really bad for him right now.. i wish i can be there for him. i hope they settle it sooner or later. i don't know.
hang in there brah.. i love you.

dramz
oh, the drama.
well, if you've been glued to the tube waiting for the "so-called" verdict (well, it's been decided long before all the evidences and witnesses were presented), get a life already!!
i didn't watch it... ok, barely.
it's really a toss-up between pro's and con's. between Pnoy and GMA. proxy war, to be exact.
what? between honest and corrupt?!? rrrright. i say everyone of those who hanged the poor (apparently he is rich with all that dollar he kept) guy is just as guilty.
'nuff said.
we have our own little drama around the house too. ahhh man.. ya don't wanna know.
and that's why i have a problem living with other people... cos things just get complicated. it's messy and a waste of precious oxygen.
meanwhile, i see a lot of people gathering around in some places... wonder what's the fuss all about.
SNAP!!! it's the NBA playoffs, that's what!!
whose your bet?

danao lake
"too much radiation."
that's what. ya know, it's a bit of a pain in the ass these days posting 'round here cos of some privacy issue. that's right, i want to have my space. i want my command center to be mine and mine only.
that's not really the case these days. lotsa hangers prowling in my war room. i can't focus cos they make a lot of noise and they are very sneaky.
anyway, we just came from the province.. ORMOC, Leyte to be precise. we have a few relatives there and one in particular is making a killing - business-wise.
it's my nephew. he made it there and it's not some top-notch place to begin with. it's a province wherein it's laid back and boy, for a city guy like me, i'd be bored shezless if i stay there longer than necessary.
i gotta hand it to him though. he pretty much established himself there and in a few years time, i'm guessing he'll be like super-rich!
i imagined myself doing what he does and... i don't think i am built for it. i mean, that's why rich people are what they are, cos they work like a horse. that's him. other than being it's in his genes, it's probably safe to say he lost half of his hair thinking, pondering and analyzing things all the time. to be able to multi-task effectively, it requires great thinking and a lot of heart.
he definitely found "gold" in there. whatever business he dips his hands to, it goes BOOM!
we enjoyed our time there. last time i was there, it was a long time ago. they took the time to accommodate us, showed us great hospitality.. they were so warm to us we were just amazed and awed at how they made us feel welcome.
anyway, i'm too hammered to go on with this... ya know why? i worked out earlier and there was blackout. the heat inside the gym just zapped the zest out of me.
hope to post a few more pictures next time.

bro-sciency
so we had our little rendezvous last Mother's day. ya know, gotta have an excuse of something special so we could go have some sorta celebration.
best pal Earl was there. i had a drunken session the night before.. ahhhh.. what an eventful night it was. i drop my effing wallet and it was like a freak show. how the heck did it came out from my back pocket and the money went at different places. but i digress.
so, back at the beach where we had some photos taken.. boy, pictures don't lie. i'm effing obese!! help!!!
i still haven't found the time to get lean. it's not easy. but it's neither hard. at least i'm still working out. the only thing i haven't focused on is nutrition which by the way, comprises ninety percent of the work that needs to be done.
i need a kick in the head to jumpstart this whole shebang of a lean-ness plan!

pudz and pool
there goes the darn bug again. got some runny nose and been coughing a lot lately... what else? aches all over. joint paints abounds... it's all downhill from here.
don't feel like blogging for the nth time yet again.
my Rottweiler was successfully dragged down from the rooftop by none other than moi. he was pretty adamant. he didn't wanna go down the stairs without a fight. i win, obviously.
we have this new inflatable pool up there so it's not safe for the kids to hang around with him dog also. he's barking like hell when they're there enjoying the pool and it pisses the neighbors. ya know, his bark isn't like any ordinary bark... it's really loud and annoying cos he seems to not get tired doing all that. he is downstairs barking like crazy right now. duh?!?
Neil is getting better with his guitar playing and mah little Angel Mitch is getting bigger everyday. it's cool how this kids are growing up. it's like watching miracles everyday... one day they do this and that and i'm kinda amazed at how quickly one can learn how to play this instrument and the other is grasping a bagful of tricks on her own.
work.
is starting to pile-up after months of less than stellar sales. well, it's good money-wise. when we're not selling, it feels like our morale is down and scarcity in terms of finances is obvious.
so yeah, thanks for everything, good Lord.
when there was drought, we relaxed a bit... recharge, sorta. and when the monsoon came, it was time to put our game face. i hope we're ready. lets make it personal: i hope i'm ready.
still sore from the training session yesterday. i can feel my immune system getting whacked from overtraining, but heck, one good, loooonngggg night sleep and it should feel better.
tomorrow, is a brand new day.
looking. forward.

pain is temporary....
things finally sink in... wait, that's syncing in, i mean.
my lower back felt like it's been run over by a bulldozer it hurts sooooo bad!
had my massage earlier and i must say THAT WAS STEAMY!!!
well, it's supposed to be a clean one. my regular masseuse was nowhere to be found so i opted for the nearest next available... i guess i'm too sensitive or naive.. i really don't know.
she pulled my boxer brief waaaayyy down and really squeeze the shez out of my ass, for starters. then she work her way through my inner thighs... really, really close to my crotch, if you have to ask.
to top it all, she massage thoroughly my chest and went all the way to them nipples.
and NO, it's not usual.
anyway, like i said, i was in it for the clean kind, so NO, nothing "extra" happened.
she did a stellar job of really giving me the HARD massage though. i was wincing in pain but ya know, gotta man-up.
i definitely was looking forward to getting a massage today as i have been really pushing it hard in the gym.. like four days in a row. that's exactly the reason why i'm aching all over. then, since i was eating iron like a man-possessed, went to kill the cardio sessions as well.
so yeah, things are syncing in, finally.
still achin'... i need more... *wink* *wink*

life is..
no matter what i do, no matter how fun it went, when comes down do it, i'm still not happy.
yep, that's how it is with the world. worldly thing to be exact.
if you go examine yourself and really, really ponder on things in life, what you achieved, how much wealth you've managed to amass and all that, honestly, were you able to quench your thirst? were you satisfied? are you really secured? underneath the core of your very being, can you HONESTLY say that you are happy? do you have JOY in your heart?
only you can answer that.
anyway, that's a li'l deep to tackle at the moment so.. i'll leave you to ponder on that.
***
finally, the mini-van we have that's been sitting on the garage and rotting in rust had a taker. we had it for sale for months now but opted to halt it when sister arrived so we could use an alternative transpo when the other is being used to accompany her when she's out and about.
i kinda feel sad to see it go but at the same time, i'm worried that the longer it's sitting there, the less it's gonna get dispose. although i use it every weekend just so it could run around and warm up the engine and stuff, it's quite unreliable after all the deterioration it has gone through.
i hope the new owner can do a better job at maintaining that car. i know wifey didn't.
we did had a lot fun time with that cage.. it's pretty fast for a little van. i believe it's the fastest in its class. for one, it's a Subaru, it's an all-wheel drive and best of all, it's turbo-charged!
i'd love to talk about work and training... but, gosh, i'm just not syncing right now.
someday... someday...

pre-departure
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!!!
well, if i really think hard about it, i've been a bad boy at getting really lazy with everything, to be perfectly honest.

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!

ooohhhh... mmhhyyyy....
seems like a virus is goin' around... i gotta a feeling. the weather is just crazy these days, huh? everyone i know or bump into are having some kinda flu or coughing incessantly. i, myself is having some kinda dry throat. better get your vitamin C handy. eat your veggies and lotsa fruits... maybe some orange or pineapple juice.
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.

being lazy is a bad idea though.

bad vibes envelopes the house these days... i hope for 'em to go away.. soon.
