noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:56:00 +0000

Happy New Year Cy! I usually listen to U2's New Year's Day. And some tracks that became hit of 2011. From Adele to Lady Antebellum.

Ask me anything!

How will you celebrate the new year?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:51:00 +0000

I celebrated the New Year with my girlfriend just cooking and eating together. And some movie time.

Ask me anything!

Before the year ends....

Listening to: The Dawn - Enveloped Ideas (1986 The Dawn)

Right now, I feel: Excited

Yes! This place is now alive again. It has been a long time since I touched this blog. I am getting lazy to update even though tons of ideas I want to write about and even some feelings I want to vent out to this blog.

But then, things happen for a reason. And moving forward and hopefully, I can update as much as possible.

Let me summarize what happened to me this year.

- I missed the monthly Terno Inferno the whole year. And that is such a shame for a music lover like me.
- I finally got a job and somehow I am loving it even if at Pasay and I live in Quezon City.
- I fell inlove with comics again and it is my new addiction to say. I can now say FLAME ON and Avengers ASSEMBLE again!
- Laptop screen got busted. That's what happens when my man cave has lots of things in it. From reading materials, bags and shoes.
- Yeah, speaking of shoes. I got 3 pairs this month. That makes my shoes a total of 20. Sandals not counted.
- Did I mentioned already that I love comics and it is getting exciting with upcoming stories.

I am getting lazy again to add stuff. I hope I can add more but I need to do some last minute grocery for New Year's eve.

I wish everyone a safe and a happy New Year!

See yah in cyberspace!

What do you think of women who makes the first move to a guy they love?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:29:00 +0000

Should be a no no for me. Women needs to either wait for the man to make a move or just ditch them and shout NEXT!

Ask me anything!

What are you looking forward to in 2012?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:28:00 +0000

More comics and music to love!

Ask me anything!

What's your favorite quotation?

Better be late than positive. =)

Listening to: Deftones - Diamond Eyes (2010 Diamond Eyes)

Right now, I feel: Excited!

Hi there! I am back and so happy to be here again!

Well, here are some of the snippets of the things that happened in the past weeks:

- Work is somehow busy, fun and info overload. It made my head hurt sometimes.
- Meeting new friends is really awesome. Especially when I feel that I can really be me with no restrictions. Just pure fun all the way.
- Thanks to my colleague/friend for giving me this awesome coffee experience!
- I am still stuck at the 250 pound range but my fats are really burning. I sweat a lot and it made my excess fats in my stomach and chest sag. I look like bigger now but I feel better.
- I worked out yesterday and I was able to finish a 3 sets of a batch work out for ten minutes and it includes 5 exercises. It really made me sweat a lot!
- I was able to see a store where they sell cheap shoes. I can't wait to buy a pair!
- It was really heart breaking for NU 107 to be on a reformat. I couldn't sleep on the last night of their airing.
- Paranormal Activity 2 scared the shit out of me. Nuff said.

I have a letter to Santa since Christmas is near. And this is how it goes.

Dear Santa,

I am dying to write you for my wish. I don't mean to be this demanding but I guess I really really deserve to get if not all, at least any of these.

I wish for:
- A long board. A simple one will be enough.
- Arnold Arre's Martial Law Babies. I really like that book and the way his writing style is awesome!
- A head phones for my iPod. Mine broke already and I kinda miss listening to my music.
- New CDs will really be great too!
- I want a new camera and I am dying to get the Canon 5D or its upgraded version but a Canon D10 will be enough.
- I really wish for a Starbucks 2011 planner. I strated collecting one since 2007. But a simple planner will do.
- I want the new HTC phones. The Desire HD and the HD7. But the Nokia E63 will be fine for now.
- I wish I can take my girl to Boracay next year. She really wanted to but due to some work constraints. I am not sure if I can.
- Boracay or a La Union trip for surfing will be nice.
- But if you can let me go to Siargao will be a blessing!

I know the list is long but at least have a way for some kind people to realize that giving me a gift that I really like will be one of the greatest joys I will cherish for the rest of my life.

I know this is too much to ask but I would also like to wish for a few more.

- World peace
- More disciplined drivers, commuters and well.... more disciplined people will do.
- A better transportation system here in the country will really be great too.
- I wish that people will stop dissing other people. They should just know how to respect others.
- A little love will be really great too.

That's all Santa. I really wish for these to happen. If not on Christmas day, at least in the future.

Sincerely,

Baby Boy

Excited!

Listening to: Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight (1981 Face Value)

Right now, I feel: Excited!

Yes, I am excited for a lot of things. 1st after my 1st week of going to the gym, I now weigh at 252 pounds. My weight when I started was at 258 pounds. And despite the fact that I had a rice meal last Saturday and Wednesday, and also having siopao and some meat for two times. I shred a huge amount of weight in span of just 6 days. I missed my Wednesday session since I have to go to the office for some contract signing and other important matters.

Speaking of work, I will officially start tomorrow. I won't put much details on where or what company I'll be working. The only thing I can say is that I wish it will be promising and it will be a job that I can stay for a long time. I am excited to meet new people and have lots of fun.

I was so excited about work that I started to buy foods that I can bring so I won't have to buy one. I bought the ones I can eat of course. Some wheat breads, small crackers, cereal bars. I also bought some cereals and milk for my breakfast.

A new adventure begins! See you in Libis!

Game time!

Listening to: Alicia Keys - Piano & I (2001 Songs in A Minor)

Right now, I feel: Pain all over my body!

It's good to be blogging again. This is the same way I feel when I opted to work out again.

The gym time was nice. It was a new way for me to meet people and have fun. I am beginning to be more sociable while working out. I was a loner kind of gym member and the only companion I had before was my iPod. But since I am doing some intense work out, I am not using them anymore, thus makes me talk to the people around me.

The work outs I have differs everyday. So at the very least, my body keeps on adjusting into it, thus requiring more effort to do and making me sweat more than I used to. The only draw back is that my muscles begins to tighten and it hurts.

I will be having a work starting next week I guess. I have to go to the office for some contract signing and they will give me instructions as when exactly and where my 1st day (which is an orientation I presume) will be held. As far as I know, I will report to work on the 22nd of October. I'm so excited!

My girlfriend and I are planning to have a set of wish list that we need to give to each other. So we can buy our gifts. And speaking of gifts. I had a surprise for her. I have 2 gifts in minds. One gift will be coming from the list, while the other is not. It is something unexpected. I hope she'll like it. I also need to go out with her for some window shopping so I can look for some of my gym needs and give her a hint on my wish list. Which also reminds me, we never get to bond now. I miss the dates we had. Sometimes being together only on a weekend is not enough.

Oh well... That's all for now! Off to dreamland!

P.S. While the work out is fun, the diet is not. It is not easy to eat a veggie salad or some fruits while you see all your house mates eating a combination of beef stew and bone marrow soup. It was a TORTURE for me.

Listening to: Kenny Loggins - Footloose (1984 Footloose Soundtrack)

Right now, I feel: Optimistic

So it has been 3 days since I am on a diet. No meats for me. No pork, beef and chicken. The only thing that I can eat as far as what the doctor advised me are fish and veggies (steamed only) and some fruits.

So in my quest to be on a diet, I started to buy some stuff at the Nepa Q-mart market. I asked our helper to come with me. I always liked going to the market. I think I am one of the rare boys who goes there and enjoy buying their food there. I used to go with our helper whenever I have the chance since I was a kid. Once we arrived at the market, I bought some carrots, potatoes, lime and lettuce. I also had some melons and papaya for my fruits. And to wrap my marketing adventure I bought some tuna and lapu-lapu for my meat.

I can have fish as long as it is cooked as soup (it use less oil) and steamed only. So I had a tuna's head cooked as miso soup. Then I started to go to the gym. Since I opted to have my work outs in the afternoon, I opted to had more consumption of food by lunch time. When I say more consumption it means I had 1 cup of rice and my viand. The only thing I ate for the last 3 days was the food itself. No rice included. I had rice so I have the energy.

I still have my oats every breakfast. So when Saturday came, I asked my girlfriend to do some groceries and I bought some Skyflakes, the Quaker Oats' Honey nuts oatmeal cookies and this awesome cereal bars from Kellogg's. I had the Blueberry and the Strawberry flavors. I could have picked my usual snack bar which is the Raisin flavored oatmeal bar from Quaker Oats but the Kellogg's Special K was in a special price in SM Makati. I had 12 pieces for less than 200 pesos.

I also bought some dressings for my veggies as I plan turn them into salad. Eating them steamed is really boring. I am looking for some nice and healthy salad dressings. So give me any ideas if you have one!

In my own opinion, if you know that the food is too sweet for your diet to just plain too much for you, just eat it regularly. In my case, I can't have meat for now. But when the time comes, I'll have them in moderation.

For now I gotta enjoy my diet foods.

Boom!

Listening to: Kylie Minogue - Chocolate (2003 Body Language)

Right now, I feel:Sleepy...zzzzZZzzzz.....

Yep, it has been more than a month. So sorry about that. Well, I've been busy the past few months doing nothing. Well maybe it just came to a point that I have an idea that I want to write or blog about, but I am just too LAZY to do it. Sometimes thinking a lot makes you lazy.

Well, the reason why I am blogging at this moment is that I have some updates about my life and maybe some views I would like to share with you.

- It has been 3 weeks now, that I have been properly sleeping. I mean, sleeping on or before 8-10 pm and getting up around 5-7 am. After 7 years, I am able to be a morning person again. And it was great!

- If you want to experience hell without killing yourself. Try to renew your NBI clearance and get your SSS ID at the same day. I started my day at 7 am and finished it at around 4 pm. All for just 2 fucking IDs. Imagine, I went to SSS and my number was 999. The number that was just called was 547. Nice huh.

- Why is it that when a lady poses for FHM or other girl magazines, they are already called models? Well they do pose for advertisements, but for an adult product and you call that modeling???

- I had a job already! Surfboard, here I come!

- And speaking of having a job, I had this pre-employment medical screening. I thought I would just aced it like before. But I was advised to have a fit to work clearance. Like WTF?!? I need to get a medical certificate that I am fit to work because of my class 2 obesity. Plus the fact that my family has this history of having major illnesses (diabetes, cancer, heart attacks, etc.), it became a plus factor for me to get one. I went to the clinic where I had my pre-employment medical screening and my ECG was fine and so does for my blood chemistry. However, the only thing that has changed is that I have now a fatty liver, my cholesterol is normal but within the limit. So does my bad cholesterol which made my good one hit an all time low.

- So I had no choice but to have a diet of fish and veggies and some fruits. The rules of my diet is just simple. All must me cooked by steam and no frying. Sucks to be me this time

- Which made me somehow quit drinking and lessen my smokes. Luckily I can still control myself to having a stick in a day. It is much better than having my regular intake of half a pack per day.

- Which made me decide to enroll in a gym. Had my workout last night and today. And it felt good actually to be back and feeling the pain and sweating a lot.

Sometimes, you need to be in deep shit before you do something to get out of it.

The things I miss

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 19:25:00 +0000

Listening to: The Who - Sparks (1969 Tommy)

Right now, I feel: Busog!

It has been 8 days since I haven't been into this realm. Well technically it's more than that but I have been busy looking for a job to blog things that are brewing up my head.

Then all of a sudden, I just felt this certain hole in me that needs to be filled. So I am making a list of the things I miss now.

1. I miss taking photos. I have took some shots for quite a while now. Though the last time I went to my aunt's farm in Amadeo, Cavite and the monthly Terno Inferno gig gave me the chance to do it again. I just wish I can fill in my hard drive with memories that are fun to look at.

2. I miss having a job. The ones that makes me buys the things I want. And right now, I have tons of things to want.

3. I miss my O2 XDA Zinc phone. The geek in me is coming out again as I drool for a Windows Mobile 6.5 powered HTC HD2 and the Android 2.1 (Eclair) powered HTC Desire. But right now I am just holding to my temptations as newer version of Windows Phone 7 (Photon) and the 2.2 Android (Froyo) phones are about to come out. If only the phones I want as of now can be upgraded to the said newer phone OSes, I'll really have them. Rumors spreading around though seems that it is impossible to happen. Heck even HTC say they have plans to have updates to their Desire phones but the year is almost to end and still no update. Boohoo!

3. I miss going to the gym. I just can't afford to go for now. I am just sticking to a certain diet though.

4. I miss listening to music. The old school or classics one. Not that I don't like the music today. But the music of before is way better. Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Paramore... pfft! I'd rather have Simon and Garfunkel, Tears for Fears, Def Lepard and Run DMC making some noise in my room, making me deaf in the process.

5. And I miss having those "just the two of us" nights. ~~I just feel so deprived right now of~~.... I just miss having some quality time. Nuff said.

Oh well, I just have to hit the bed or maybe run for a while. Or maybe.... I just wish all the things I miss now will come! I need a lamp with a genie on it.

Give it to me!!!

Listening to: Elton John - Tiny Dancer (1971 Madman Across the Water)

Right now, I feel:Anxious

Hello there again! It has been a week since I blogged. I don't really have anything going on for the past week except for I have been looking for a job. I tried applying for any job as long as it is a day shift one.

I wasn't really into the professional world again. But the geek and gadget freak in me suddenly consumes me after seeing some phones I love.

I tried to look for jobs from the call center type to sales. Sometimes it is tiring going around the metro just to look for work then come home empty handed.

I just wish one day I'll hear someone telling me that I'll start working for them instead of we'll call you cliche.

Would you rather own a luxury yacht or a private jet?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:35:00 +0000

Luxury Yacht. I love the sea so much.

Ask me anything!

What's your favorite sport?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:35:00 +0000

I don't really have a favorite sport since, I don't really devote myself into one. But you can say that basketball will be my main course.

Ask me anything!

Do you believe in angels?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:34:00 +0000

Yep, I do believe in angels in religious and romantic kind of way.

Ask me anything!

What's the origin of your name?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:33:00 +0000

Wow! Thanks for asking this one! Well, it started when I was working at the age of 19 and I was the youngest in the account. People also noticed how goofy and childish I was thus being called Baby Boy.

Ask me anything!

Gutom me!

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:20:00 +0000

Listening to: Narda - 100 Taon (2006 Discotillion) Right now, I feel:Starving!

I am so hungry right now. Even if I had my dinner already, I still feel like my stomach is still empty. I always tell to my stomach (feeling that it has some sort of monster in it) that "we just ate!" every time I feel hungry.

It has been 7 months since the last time I went to the gym. Since I always forgot about renewing my membership and that blasted car accident, I totally forgot about it. It even made me go back to my eat-all-you-can-till-you-die mind set of eating.

The result: I am now back to 250 plus pounds. So I have to REALLY loose weight this time. And I can't believe that my goal is this:

It's hard to go to that I deal weight of 160 lbs. I thought 170-180 pounds will be OK for me. But the ideal weight of 160 lbs. is well, too much for me I guess.

But still, a target is a target and I still need to hit it. I might miss a lot but I will hit it. I need to. So let the sweat enduring work out begin! Again.

New adventure begins.

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 03:01:00 +0000

Listening to: Musicl O - Liger (2009 Debutante) Right now, I feel:

Dear Blog,

I am somehow happy about what is going on now. At least I am glad to know that things get fixed. I just wish this would go on and on. I really hate when things go chaotic.

Sure things might get awry but at least I am ready to face them bit by bit. With lesser stress in mind and with more patience. I gotta admit I have faults too and I am really sorry for that.

I am glad we got a chance to talk about it and patch things up. I still remember the friends who told me to glean the lessons from such experiences. I still have a lot of things to learn and sometimes, I have to take it one step at a time. I gotta go back into believing that "patience" is a virtue.

Still a new chapter closes and a new one has opened. Let's move on and look for the brighter side of life. Thank you Lord for giving me another life.

Much love,

Baby Boy

Moving on

Listening to: Up Dharma Down - Sana (2008 Bipolar)

Right now, I feel: Sad

Dear Charo,

Ang sakit sobra! (It hurts so much!) Nuff said.

Oh well, I have been through this and enough with the drama. All I gotta do is just pick myself up and move on. It hurts of course, but I just can't stop myself from doing anything or brood myself just for the fact that my heart is broken for the nth time.

Sure 3 years is too long already. You start to expect things will go smoothly or maybe according to your plan. You start to set expectations and at the same time plan more. And such break up after that long time can be devastating but what can I do? I can't cry the rest of my life, nor spend the sleepless nights listening to something that can made me cry or be nostalgic about it.

I have been through a lot. A hell lot of it. It made me change my views and how I see life as it is now. So let me close this chapter and bid it goodbye as I greet a new one as I start to open it and write something new.

Let the bumpy ride begin.

My new inspiration

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 19:03:00 +0000

Listening to: Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko (Boys Noize Vocal Mix) (2009 Girls Le Disko: The Remixes)

Right now, I feel: Tired and pissed

Yeah I am tired and pissed the past months. I remember the shout out I posted on my facebook that I need anger management therapy. I guess it's still my stand. I get so mad and I can really be mad. The Incredible Hulk will be no match compared to my rage. But I am trying to control it. It's not like I am the violent type of person when I get mad, I just nag more and MTRCB will definitely ban me if I am on TV and keep on cursing the heavens.

So instead of blabbering about how pissed I am today. I'd rather be happy with my new toy.

Yep, it's a Victoria Skimboard. I got interested in this sport when I was planning what activities to do in Boracay. I had one made of wood that I bought in Boracay but I want a foam type one.

Now I have a reason to slash down my weight to 170-180 pounds. Since this board has a weight limit. It's not that It will break but it will just sink right away.

Thanks mom for this one! Next toy on the list: A surf board!

Would you rather be rich or famous?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 18:14:00 +0000

I'd rather be famous. If I am then I can be rich. =)

Ask me anything!

Do you believe in luck?

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Boy) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 18:14:00 +0000

Yes. But I don't based everything or depend on it.

Listening to: Twisted Halo - Closed Captioned (2003 In Loving Memory of the Fearless Exploits of the Bolo Brigade)

Right now, I feel: Mad

It's August and time flies really fast. After this month comes the so called "ber" months!
But what makes me excited for this month is I get another chance to see the monthly gig of Terno Inferno. It is a gig that showcase the talents of the bands from the record label Terno Recordings. Sometimes, other bands that not from the said label performs as guest too. The gig happens every month. Here are some photos I took from the past gigs.

Japoy Barrientos of Not Another Boy Band

Brian Josef of The Charmes

Ponchie Buenavista of Encounters With a Yeti

Sleepwalk Circus
Getting plastered while watching gigs is heaven for me.
And being friends with the band members who you love is really the price every night.

It was a great time to see the bands you like or maybe see some new bands I haven't heard of. But the greatest prize is getting to know these people and be friends with them. From music to giggly jokes, everything is being shared and having fun.

Great music, great place and very nice people. This is the reason why I love the indie scene. And don't forget the tons of booze you hammer yourself as an additional reason.
