Been stressing over the rumored changes for the past week. And my mood swings was just going haywire.

I was quiet at one point, talkative the next, irritable after a bit and ended the day at a very emo state.

This was the first Friday ever that I was in a 'bad-vibe' state.

Working out couldnt lift me out of my state.

Not even spending time with my barkada.

Today was a very 'bad-vibe' Friday.

And I hate this feeling.

*crosses-fingers*

Hoping that the 'bad-vibe' stops tonight.

I need to be back to my old happy-emo self by the weekend.

So today was the DLSU Greentenial Run at fort.

This is the first organized run Ive joined since Addidas KOTR 2010 last October 2010.

I ran alone, because my running buddies werent really feeling well. At first I wanted to not run, but then again I thought that this will be my gauge for the Condura 2011 run on Feb 6 2011.

I joined the 15k category.

Ive ran 21k before and Ive even conquered 42k - but this run made me nervous.

I honestly dont know why, but there were more butterflies in my stomach here than in my 42k run.

It took me 01:20:00 to finish the whole 15k route - a good 4mins off my previous 15k record. But damn, my pace was slow - I need to pick it up if Im targetting a sub-2hr run for my 21k in Condura.

Shits.

Suddenly Im nervous about that 21k.

Geez.

mind over matter, Daemon...

mind over matter...

Lately Ive been doing less cardio workout (well, from thrice a week down to twice a week) - and have been increasing my resistance training.

See, one of my 2011 resolutions is to get 'all' excess skin off my body. So at the end of 2011, I consulted with one of the fitness instructor at my gym.

I was asking about the use of steroid to achieve my goal. And of course, as instructor he was all for pushing the best option - and to him, the best option was for me to start using steroids, BUT with proper guidance.

Now I know that there is some truth to what he is saying. But in all honesty, I think its part of his ploy to get me to sign up for PT Sessions - to which I dont think I really need.

Believe me, I know well enough how to set my workout routines.

Anyway going back.

So with me, half believing and half doubting the use of steroids finally decided that all I need to do was to put extra effort in working out.

This includes a bit of change in diet and change in workout routine.

One of those changes that Im greatly enjoying so much, is what I have for lunch everyday at work.

Since I started my program, Ive been having three (3) slices of bread and a mug-full of Milo chocolate drink - in addition, I eat rice at night (either three spoonfuls to one cup).

Shocking to some. But eating rice is one of lifes simplest guiltiest pleasures.

And oh how I missed it.

But dont get me wrong, my current workout program has been effective.

Ive been bulking up.

Ive been pulling heavier weights.

And to top it all off, Ive seen some improvements on some of my target areas.

*woot*

All I need now is patience; now I wonder how Ill look like at the end of 2011...

hmmmm...

So Ive been craving for Wendys Frostee since Thursday this week. The texture and flavor just begs for orgasm. =)

So despite the extreme laziness and the Mcdonalds Cheeseburger meal I had early early, like 3am early, I got fixed up and headed to the park square branch of Wendys and got myself a LARGE frostee.

Yum yum yum...

Strangely enough Im not that worried with my diet.

Hmm...

Metabolism must be picking up.

About time...

*woot*

This means more frostees!

*burp*

2011 in 365+ Angles - 11Jan13

Well there goes the diet... =)

But then again, eating with my team mates at Globe is great. I can never turn down an opportunity to get together with my team mates.

They have become more than my team mates. They've become my third family.

Thanks Bunnie and Erwin for the pizza treat...

Happy Birthday to both of you.

*cheers*

*burp*

Uh oh, though the meryenda treat was great, this means extra effort at the gym...

*woot*

So, just because I love both my barkadas so much, I decided to make a collage and make it my office wallpaper.

And yeah, todays a bit "petiks" day - so I had a lot of free time on my hand. =)

So today, I visited Globes' Business Center at our building to pay my monthly bill and have my SuperPlan subsctiption changed.

It took me less than 5mins to finish paying my bill. The cashier was fast and efficient, the best in my opinion.

Next was to have my SuperPlan subscription changed. There were at least two people in front of me. So the first one was this lady who was having her iPhone checked.

Hohum. Apparently, from what I gathered shes basically asking how to use it, the basic functionalities - how to surf, go on FB - you know, the BASIC stuff.

Geez. Come on! Why get a phone that is that functionality rich when, 1) you dont know how to use it - even the BASIC functions, and 2) youre on Prepaid (unless youre not like me who is extremely dependent on a Data Plan).

It took them roughly 20mins to finish the consultation. FUCK! Geez woman, theres an online manual for it. Then again with the way she looked, I doubt that she even knows how to properly operate a microwave.

After 25mins, it was my turn. I was through in less than 5 freakin' mins. Thats the way you fo it.

Damn. That lady really ticked me off. Even the attending CS Agent bowed her head after in frustration.

If I were her, Id do more than just that.

2011 in 365+ Angles - 11Jan08

Heyo.

Walking around GHills with Philipp searching for his new phone, I came across this.

Apparently they were right.

There is sense of pride that one feels when you see one of your campaigns in public - no matter how hohum the campaign is.

Hohum you say, ask my sponsor *wink*.

Ok so first things first. I honestly didnt expect that this picture would turn out the way it did.

How I wish I was the subject of this photo, but unfortunately I wasnt. It was actually a "cute" guy that I spotted this morning on my way to work.

Now stalker-ish as it may seem, we've all been a stalker, at some level before. I dont deny that fact.

Maybe Im just uber observant, bordering on stalker-ish already...

tee hee... here me defend myself.

Anyway I hope I get a chance to see this cutie at work.

This officially gives me another reason to stay with Globe.

Now that summer is just around the corner, everyones gone stark raving mad with going on 'crash' diets and enrolling in gyms. For some, this is a yearly ritual that disappears right after summer ends.

Poor fools.

I go on a 'diet' just because its my way to recover all the food that ive taken in during the holidays - so for todays lunch, i had two wheat bread sandwich with sliced cheese and mushrooms.

To support my 'diet', Ive been working extra hard with my resistance training.

And I suppose its working.

I 'think' I fit better in my clothes.

I 'think' I look better than months before.

Looks like I won't be needing that 'shot' after all.

But then again, that is still an option.

Lets see in the next few months

2011 in 365+ Angles - 11Jan03

First day of work at Globe Towers Mandaluyong for 2011.

Strangely enough, while everyones dreading the end of the holiday vacation I was excited to get back to work. This coming from a person who has worn the 'i-hate working' badge on his chest for years.

Its no secret that I have been enjoying my time at EGG/Globe. This is due to both the people I work with and the nature of my work.

My only wish though is that Globe would transfer to Makati - which is a bit weird, because Globe is an Ayala-owned company, but their HO is nowhere near Ayala.

Then again, I have been enjoying the commute to and fro work via bus. Weird, I know.

Anyway it looks like Ill be seeing more months/years here.

*woot*woot*

2011 in 365+ Angles - 11Jan02

First mass of 2011 at Sacred Heart Makati.

I usually end up having this feeling of comfort after hearing mass, but tonight was totally different.

The priest that presided the mass over-extended his Homily to more than 30mins. I would be more than open to listen for the whole time, but the priest just went on and on and on in circles. To make it worse, there was little to no connect with the days Gospel.

It was pure torture.

Adding insult to injury, there were these kids who kept on playing along the aisle. I wanted to go up to their mum and dad and give them a lesson or two about disciplining their kid.

Gawd, it was irritating.

I miss the days when masses were solemn.

Then again, Im no poster child for solemnity.

To most, the Bedroom is where all the 'magic' happens; to me, my workspace is where all my creative 'juices' are poured into - and oh how I missed working here.

So, to greet 2011, I cleaned up my home workspace which was left to accumulate clutter and dust for the past six months.

Similar to me, its nothing spectacular on the outside, but awesomeness lies somewhere here.
