come down

shoot!!!

been looking for this in YouTube.. good thing, they don't have the monopoly of music videos...


Come Down - Click here for another funny movie.

the weekend top

hhhmmmmm... just came from a recollection.. ya know, do some "reflection" thingy..

i'm a little 'veteran' when it comes to this thing.. you won't get me... to open.. confess and share my little space called 'privacy.'

some had wept.. others even wailed..

i say, cut it!

OMG!

why all the dramz??

**

this week, i again bump into this burly guy, the ex of my former officemate slash fling-fling, gym mate.

do ya copy that? he's my gym mate, chad.

though, he towers over me, you can flip the coin a million times, but i'm soooooo much stronger than this mofo!

i'm guessing he knows me.. what's more, he's intimidated.

anyhoo, i have no beef with this chump.. in fact, one of these days i'll come up to him and come clean..

i'm gonna find a way to lead our conversation into that part where i inadvertently entered the picture and mess it all up for them..

i mean, for real. i haven't had that closure and this might be it.

i'm hoping he's not gonna try and screw around cos i've seen him lift and i'm not impressed.. he better behave!

fingers crossed, but the coming week might be it.

wish me luck!

in another gym story, i'm a bit sore today... though i only got to eat iron for four days this week, it was all full-throttle..

it'll be like this whole year round... injury forbids.

another thing, finally got to use the wrist strap properly... i've been doin' it wrong for eons!! can't believe it neither... after a few experimentation, got it right! expect some wicked hypertrophy in the days to come... i'm feeling it right now already!

**

one more thing, there should be some improvements here in the weeks to come... no, not the ads, it's something i've been planning.. i might finally be able to get it done.

later!

beee zeee

yowsa!

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

thus.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



chow!

Holy!

happy halloween!!!

err... whadya call that, good friday?

whatever.

thanks to a long weekend, i got to do lotsa stuff online.. if you're a techY kinda guy, you should visit Max' site.. it's loaded with useful stuff.. oh, i ain't spoilin' nothing.. just give it a go.

if you've been wondering why i haven't posted 'bout my workouts, well, that's because i STOP doin' so.

kidding.

well, it's been intense, but i gotta keep the details close to my chest -- for now.

one thing though, i get to do the threadmill at a maximum incline and almost at a running pace for 30 minutes.. post workout.

so there.

lemme get back to ya after i burn more of my brows surfin' while on DVD marathon..

ciao!

P.S.

by the way, that picture above?

just another whackout to catch your attention..

come together now

hey yo!

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

the culprit? it's the darn brandy!

i got carried away..

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

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

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

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

lights out.

twisted

been really busy doin' boatload of other things... thus.

got lotsa thoughts running through my head, but just couldn't gather 'em back for this.. sooo shet, eh??



ooooppps!!!

i'll get back to ya when i'm finally able to pick up my garbled brain... it's scattered all over the place.. like dog *toooooot*

"holy week" is coming up.. start cleansing ya self, homie!

oh, before i go, at 10:00 tonight, there's another activity some chump thought the children of the future would appreciate... save oxygen!

it's easy actually. when the clock hits 10, you just need to hold your breath for, get this, an hour, momma! can you sacrifice an hour to preserve that much needed H2O which could, at the rate we pollute our air these days, save our children from oxygen deprivation?




go figure!

checking out.

the planet

at 8:30 tonight, ya gotta turn off the lights for an hour... that's 20:30, military time.. this has something to do with some Earth day commemoration slash celebration mambo-jambo yet again thingy spearheaded by these so called "Environmentalist" wackos!

right.

maybe we should include a "No-Smoking" or "No using of Car, etc." day... what else? hhhmmmmm.. turn off everything that uses electricity, fuel, and whatnot.. then, we might save our dear planet.. not some half-ass turn-off the light whatchamacallit gloopy crap.. sorry for the word, earthlings.


i rest my case.

***

anyhoo, accompanied Neil to his circumcision yesterday... prior to that, he was all giddy that he's about to become a "man."

when t'was time to get "the cut," he freaked out and wanted to bail.. not so fast, boy!

the docs and i tried to calm him down to no avail.. 'til he got a taste of that anesthesia injection... he realized it wasn't that painful.. so, the doc went about the whole "operation." though not as seamless as i expected, overjoyed when it was finally over albeit a few jerking from Neil here and there.

so, my son, welcome to manhood, bhoy!

fast and furious

i know i posted 'bout this bike before...but what can i say.. i miss it..



it eats rough road for breakfast... unlike my 'girly' bike now... so slow and hard on my spine... in short, crap!

***

Neil on his younger days...






now,he's about to go through circumcision... how time flies, yeh?

he doesn't wanna be called a "child" anymore... rather, a teen.. whatever kiddo!

Toad

hey man!

supp?

internet connection these day's a drag... i mean, it's almost like stone age again.. ya know, dial-up kinda thing...

sucks big time!

anyhoo, no point complaining.. it's just it.

whaddaya know? i now have two PC's, eh??! finally figured out what's bugging the relic one... i reckoned the PSU and the AVR connived and made me believed the PC has gone loco.. seems only those mentioned above are the effed one.. the rest are working perfectly fine... but not after giving me a huge headache... had to break 'em all down to pieces, literally!

voila!

answer: found.

so, now i need additional keyboard, mouse, joystick and a monitor.. damn, ey??

two is better than one, Albert Einstein said that.. does e=mc2 ring a bell?

yeah, just messing with your head there..

things are pretty dandy and the bases are well covered... thank you.

go fetch, err, figure!

later, homs!

V8

believe!

lotsa crap to rant about... but i'll save it 'til later.. swamped with work here.. but no complains..

it's better this way.

meanwhile, i got my eyes on this one:




later!

up and running

ho ho ho!!!

my rig's finally up... after lotsa tweaking and trial and error.. it's here. homie!

can't believe it neither.

it's almost 5 years since i bought my last PC.. Pentium 4 slash hyperthreading... soooo many changes had since been made and i'm trying my best to catch up... lemme break it down for ya: dunno SATA, what the hell is HD? whadafuck is surround sound???

anyhoo, as you can see, i got it. it's up and running. thank you.

still and all, silly as it may seem, shet, it's all worth the ride... i feel good i got it all right.


*grinning all over*

sick and sink

i'm sick.

dayum! i've been sickly the last few weeks... kinda weak, huh? must've been the weather.. yesterday and today, i had LBM... ya know, i don't usually take medication 'til i'm reeling bad...

the fever is trying in earnest to get into the picture.. my body seem to resist it.. God knows for how long.

one day, it's super hot, next day, it's raining hard.. kinda hard to adapt with a weather like this.

the gym-ing part had suffered.. my lifts had gone crappy.. dunno if i'll ever make the cut in time for summer.

everything seems to be in shambles.. hate it!

will try to fix 'em..

by the way, my officemate is back in her wicked ways again.. hope she gets caught someday.. har har.. it's the law of nature, bud.

be well.

dead meat

yowsi!

i'm ready to snooze... ZZZzzzzzzz...

i'm barking like a dog these days.. darn cough isn't going away anytime soon.. shish!



and it's affecting my lifts.. hhhmmmm... been off taking supplements for a week now.. i'm still strong, yeah, but in terms of endurance, i kinda lag...

so, either it's my constant barking or being supplement-less is the culprit behind my so-so performance... sucks!

why i opted to forego taking supplement/s when i still have plenty of 'em? i need some sorta cleansing... ya know, flush out all that excess caffiene, creatine, amino, etc. away... then, when i reload, i'd be giving my body a surprise yet again.. gotta cycle these stuffs and give my kidney some rest.

meanwhile, another one bites the dust. i remember being a fan of him a long time ago.. bought a cassette tape.. that's the only one i can afford then.. damn, i still can't afford an original CD today!

anyhoo, i was into Rage Against the Machine kinda music and figured he might've sounded like 'em... well, i was hoping i would like the tune of his music.. i like some but not all... still, being a Pinoy, i am bias.

rest in peace, homie..

veering on me's side of life, i'm still 'hunting' for my new hardware.. no need to rush though.. gotta take things slow and steady.. make sure everything is gonna work out fine.



i'll be utilizing some of my 'old' stuff such as the casing, CD drives, hard disks, etc.. what i'll tentatively buy are the following: motherboard, processor (CPU), 2-4 gig of ram, power supply (PSU), video card, a mid to high end cpu cooler, some cooling fan/s and a 19 inches LCD monitor.

so there.... maybe i can get all the hardware next week.. fingers crossed.

show me the money

it's been tough.. my plate is pretty full yet again, thanks to my job!

well, there's loads and loads of problem.. err, 'situation' i'm stuck into.. kinda stresses me out no end.. feels like my jaw is about to lockout, help!!

hope to reverse it before i'd end up dead.. well, last week was tops.. sooo many calls from peers, customers, heck, even the boss' rain on my parade!

not to mention, the many bumps, snags and kinks in between doin' my job, performing fatherly obligation and whatever whatchamacallit hubby-hubby thang.. ya, whew!

worst, i had fever and flu.. oh yeah!

now, it's getting there again... but i'm guessing it won't top last week's... i'm keeping my fingers crossed though.

***

my PC is sooooo dead, thank you. i tried installing another PSU to no avail.. guess now it's really screwed up big time... it's nice to buy a new one, but darn, where am i gonna find the friggin' moolah for it??

now, a credit card would've been convenient, but shit, i wanna pay all my debts this year sooooo bad so i could start a debt-free life next year.. there are those branded PC's that comes with a nice package and get this, 0% interest. the thing is, i want to build mine from the ground up.. i want a nice casing, a powerful power supply (not generic), a nice processor that's got some high-end cooler on top, a fancy memory card that's wrap with heat sinking alloy, a fierce looking, high performance video card, some fancy fan/s to give it an ambient environment inside, a nice LCD monitor wouldn't hurt... finally, throw in some wireless keyboard and mouse..

voila!

now, the 100k question is:

where is the money?

where is the money??

where is the money???!

where is the money????!!!!

where is the money?????!!!!!!



say it like Tom Cruise did in that Jerry Maguire movie... sure is fun!

anyway, i'll go dream about my "new" rig tonight... dream big, yeah??

i can see it now.. nice.. nice..


anyhoo, i'm still bangin' it in the gym.. but my performance?? i have to rate it as mediocre. no new numbers conquered, no fats lost, no muscles gain, etc.. etc..

nada.

chikening out.

breath

hey dawg!

i'm alive, thank you.

barely.

keep ya posted later.. my home PC had been toasted.. my son forgot to turn it off but then covered it neatly.. meaning, no air could flow through the casing burning out the PSU.. hope it's only the PSU.. that's one friggin' expensive power supply, by the way.. a HEC PSU series.

well, can't do nothing about it.. what's done is done.

anyhoo, yeah, it's later.

live another day

sniff.. sniff..

i'm not feeling well.

i think i'm gonna die real soon.

i'm not kidding.

ok, i hope i'm wrong... i do wanna live a li'l longer..

makes me appreciate life.. cos i haven't stop to "smell the flowers... "

it's all been about what i can get my hand into... no depth.. no excitement.. no sense of adventure.. hhhaaaaahhhhh... breath...

i dunno... life's got it's way giving you some sorta sick sense of humor... no, it ain't the good Lord..

but life.

we've been given the freedom.. to choose what's right and wrong.. freewill, anyone?

yah, you got it by default.

wish it wasn't that way... uhm, lemme rephrase it: wish i didn't have it.. ya know, freewill? let the good Lord decide what's good for me... life would have been easier, yeah?

anyhoo, hope to live another day... cos from where i'm sitting at... doesn't look good.

you did remember i posted about me having congenital heart disease from way back when, right?



no?

start digging.

smooth and slick

buzz!!

heyp! supp??

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

did i made the right impression??

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

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

man, i'm confuse.

STOP!

got some things updated around here. geez, that label thingy is a lot of work. got over 500 posts already, damn it!! maybe when i'm stalled again, nothing to do and bored, i'll do s'more tweaking.. now, i'm writing on a fly...

i've been doing lotsa cooking as of late.. you know, nutrition plays a big part of building serious muscles, so i gotta learn how to prepare my own food.. i kinda regret not learning a thing or two from my late momma.. she's one helluva cook! she can turn anything inside the fridge to something magical and tasty..

that's her talent.. i'm guessing none of us can even come close to her ability.. well, my sis abroad can whip up a nice dish, but she barely cooks when she's home for a vacation.. it's usually our former nannies who comes over the house and crowds the kitchen.

anyway, guess cooking is another passion i wanna harness.. i'm very good with food - tasting, that is. i can tell that it's good or crap with my taste bud.. of course, we all can, right? yeah, i know. but really, my late momma set the standards way too high, so that gives me a little bit of an edge over 'ordinary' mortals. eeeekk!!

remember that story i told you about a Mazda zoom-zoom-zoomin' at the SRP and flew off the road, tumbled a number of times to a halt??

well, here are the pictures.. you might wanna finish eating first.









crash and burn.

summer breeze

diet.. diet.. diet..

seems everyone i know is prepping up for that sex pack, err, i mean six pack summer look. got some guys who have lost lotsa weights already.. like 20 pounds for starters!

a guy i know who look like a whale with no tail already lookin' lean after a month of strict diet.. i wasn't gonna bought what these fellas had been telling me late last year.. that they're gonna lose the lard come January..

some of them says i should join the bandwagon as i have build enough muscles, and the only thing i need to do is lose the water slash lard, and i'll be lookin' HOT!

well, some of this dudes are joining contests.. i don't.

but, it's kinda like you're in a class where most of yer classmates are aiming to score perfect and you're there feeling the pressure to join their ranks.. cos shit, you don't wanna be left behind.. peer pressure, i thought i've gone through this before??

i'm cool with it though.

not that i wanna be 'IN' with those bozos, but i wanna prove to myself i can have the discipline to get leaner come summer time.. like them, i wanna see some packs on my abs.. i've never seen one since time immemorial.



it's not goin' to be a walk in the park.. i know.

my partner though is bent on leaning out... with the aid of some chemicals he's putting on in his body, he'd likely will.. in a month's time.

i wish i can.. however, i can't.

i'd like to keep mine simple.. not some complex cycle of injections and/or poppin' of who-knows-what pills.. meaning, it'll be a long and hard process.

what's more, i'm an endomorph... gotta big bones and a slow metabolism to deal with. then there's the age factor to consider.. meaning, i need to work harder in terms of exercise and nutrition to burn off lotsa lard... i'm not like some teenager whose got plenty of energy to spare.. that, my friend, is the challenge i have to face.

i won't make excuses though. i'm doin' it.

it's a personal quest... not for anybody else..

but for me.

so help me God.

yo! why so serious, eh??

crap, i'm hungry!

randomizer

rain.. gently falls..

gawd, it's been raining on and off today.. as of the moment, it's been really on for hours now.

good for those who had planned in advance for their Valentine's whatever tonight.. somewhere dark, cold and cozy..



wet?

wonder where's that??

cinema!

yeah-yeah i'm bored.

i wanna smoke.. hhhmmmm.. it's been over three years. there are days that i thought of puffing one whenever i smell some guy/s in the gym smellin' nicotine, but after seeing them doin' a so-so workout, nah.

i dreamt about breaking the cycle and huff a stick or two only to wake up in great relief that it was just it - a dream.



once i do one, there'd be another.. and another.. next thing i knew, i'm hooked again!

---

if my friends are wondering why i haven't registered to our own little forum somewhere, the answer is in the idiom: "once bitten, twice shy."

yeah, that one we had a year (?) or two ago was one helluva ride... but got shut-down without any advance notice whatsoever, took the thunder out of me.. i mean, i treated that little place like my baby.. though everything is smooth between us all now, the scar is still there and i wouldn't feel secured after posting lotsa good and bad shit that it'll stay that way.. i wouldn't wanna speak for the others but i'm sure they have their own little issues, but i'm hoping for the best... ya know, that it'll eventually go BIG in every facet, and the owner would really think a million times before wiping it off cyberspace... yet again.



the worst part, the other hangout we had was demolished.. by guess who? no less than the government itself.. no effort was made to revive it to think that it's "the powers that be" were behind it.. well, it's a venue where people complains and air their greivances... calls the attention of people who abuse their power/s.. etc.. etc.. ya don't wanna have any of that, do ya?

i wouldn't be surprise if it'll be back again later this year or next year... a very good place to make "promises" again and campaign for the near election.. ahhhh life!

so predictable and boring.

so there. i got bitten twice, homs.. whaddya expect? i'm just gonna roll over, go back to square one and say, hit me baby one more time??!!



dunno bout the others but i've been skimming through the new sites.. it's deafining.. cos it's friggin' quiet out there.



we all got burned, baby.

burned.

or we could all be busy in these trying times.

anyhoo, it's still raining and i'm running out of craps to blab.

oh, it's rest day today. i need to. my strong shoulder which is my left is feeling funny. well, it's pre-determined.. tomorrow, i should be waxing hot again.

good Lord, i love the rain... but can you please pause for an hour so i could drive home already??

i really miss my kiddo, Neil.

Happy Hearts Day, babe.
