Mr. Porky

This year's probably the worst year for me when it comes to shedding weight.
My weight has see-sawed like crazy this year.
And because of poor eating habits, and a bad exercise regimen,
I've ballooned to add 20 more pounds.

Crazy all these treadmilling and spinning isn't helping at all.
After looking at my pics of our recent Christmas party,
I will get out of the fantasy that I will still get my old college days physique.
Today, I officially recognizing myself as a member of the fatso club.

God! I'm beginning to dread what I'm becoming- I'm beginning to look like my father.
Nooooooo!!!

Nyeta! Kailangan kong pumayat.

What's the matter? Play ball!

I noticed a lot of players are still not playing because of "injuries"
Mike Dunleavy hasn't played a single game.
Ricky Davis is still out becuase of knee tendinitis.
Kaman should be called Mr. Fragile for being injured year after year.
Starbury still has his reasons.
So what gives?

Maybe NBA should bring the egos back.
Bring Sprewell back.

SLR! SLR! SLR!

Today I got myself a Canon SLR.
Just would like to try my hand at photography.
Here are some of the pics I took.

Tomorrow I'm going to shoot at Subic!

Celebrity Sightings

Look what I found. Some of my old pics with celebs.
Some of the perks of my job. you get to hobnob with them.

Robin is super-fun to work with. Talk about discipline. This guy always arrives one hour before call time and has memorized his lines.
He never fails to give input on line delivery.
You can't help but notice his trademark action star stance, even if the situation doesn't call for it.
This guy is super humble and is very easy to work with.

I've worked with Kris Aquino for Purefoods.
Kris is super machika and friendly. All those rumors that
she's a snob are pure lies. Although she has a few quirks,
that's just probably her style.

Ruffa Mae is such a darling and a pro.
She is as wacky on cam as she is off-cam.
I think she is probably the most fun person I've met.
And energy level is that of hyper kid.

The reason why I'm never going vegetarian

And I thought meatballs were evil. Enter the more evil.... SOYMEAT!
Dressed to impress and served like meat so won't feel the guilt.
In reality you're biting in chewy morsels of paper-tasting goop.
Vegemeat is crap, I can't comprehend why people like this. But honestly my pooch won't even touch this. I'd rather eat ampalaya or brussel sprouts. Or better gimme a hefty plate of greens. Just don't make me feel like a fool. Vegemeat is so pretentious, it's like the evil incarnate. Hahahah And to think this was served by the great Gloriamaris Restaurant for a wedding reception. This was weird to the palate no wonder my freind Regi stopped being vegetarian and chose to get stuffed with meat. Please don't get me wrong, I know I'm acting like a spoiled brat here, but this simply tastes awful....

i love takoyaki!

i suddenly got a craving for takoyaki balls.
these are seafood balls they cook over hot metal plates.
they put in fish powder and a sweet n sour dip.

i've had boring ones in manila but the best of the lot
i tried in hongkong! these one are found in causeway bay near this big shopping mall whose name i can't recall. But these balls are big and delicious. And they're expensive (50HK$ for 10 pcs) but really, really good!

note: the name of the place is gindaco

Fitness First Sucks

i'm ranting since last night.
Let me repeat this.
Fitness First sucks!

And if you plan to go to gym never, ever go to Fitness First.
You pay almost $50 a month and what do you get?
Crap! Utter crap! I go to their SM mall of Asia gym. That gym has barely opened for a year but most of the showers have broke down. Shower heads are missing. Machines have conked out.
I have experienced my stuff getting stolen at the locker rooms. And the restrooms are vandalized to extinction.

But what makes me further puke about them is their billing system.
I've heard horror stories of Fitness First's notorious billing system; like still being charged for monthly dues on your credit card even if you've already canceled your membership, etc.
Never occurred to me how frigging greedy they are but here's what happened.

I plan to go to another gym so I canceled my membership.
Girl at the counter tells me that I need to notify them one month in advance for that to be done. So if I cancel now, it would take effect January 1, 2009. Meaning you have to pay another month's due, a big waste of money since you're already transfering to another gym. Mind you, I have already paid them one month in advance. So in effect you're already wasting 2 months worth of monthly dues. To avoid hassle, I just settled, only to be told that there will be another rate increase for the months of november and december that is added to my bill! Grr....
and to add further insult to injury, girl at the counter even gave me a referral slip to refer my friends to fitness first. I should've torn that paper in front of her face.

This gym is f-ing greedy they should change their name to Money First.

Thanksgiving Fantasy NBA Picks/Busts

top picks
1) brook lopez f/c new jersey nets
this half of the lopez twins is finally starting and has 3 double doubles so far
2) eric gordon sg la clippers
now that mobley's gone and davis is not doing his job. gordon's taking on mobley's old stats, probably better with steals
3) dj augustin pg charlotte bobcats
he makes a great combo with raymond felton. his fg percentages are even better than felton's.
4) q. rich sf knicks
the knicks has 7 player playing and q rich is taking advantage of his minutes
5) bargnani f/c raptors
toronto o'neal's injury means more playing time for the italian stallion
6) paul milsap f/c utah jazz
milsap's doing boozer proud. his monster stats for the last 2 games are 21 pts 10 reb. and 24 pts and 16 rebs. get him before he's gone

stock falling
1) anthony morrow pg/sg golden state warriors
after debuting for 37 points. morrow has fallen down to earth. now that crawford is with the warriors expect him to play less minutes
2) anybody from washington except bulter and jamison
everyone's simply underachieving period
3) cuttino mobley sg/ knicks
heart condition problems? better drop him now
4) jamario moon sf raptors
this guy still is not taking advantage of o' neals's injury. drop him like a busted nerdy schoolboy
5) collison f/c oklahoma
this guy responds to his starter job by not doing much


who's back:
deron williams
manu ginobili
