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...

dela hoya and mayweather.. hooohummm...
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.
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..
