Fitness First Totally Sucks Rotten Eggs
Its 630pm. I just woke up from a nap. The thing is, I don’t nap. I was just so upset about what happened to me earlier that I just dozed off so I wouldn’t think about it. Now, I’m gonna write a little about it just to let off some steam.
The group exercise staff of Fitness First have a really big problem. Seriously. I’m so not happy with them. I woke up before lunch today so I could attend the Body Jam Tuitions at ABSCBN. “Tuitions” are what we call classes for us instructors. We’re supposed to attend at least 2 out of 4 tuitions before we can teach the new release of a class like Body Jam, Body Combat, Body Pump, etc. So, the Body Jam Tuitions were supposed to be at 2pm today.
Even if I got home at like 6am, I woke my ass up just ’cause I know that I have responsibilities. I have to attend or I won’t be able to teach. I got dressed, took the car that was colour coded over to ABSCBN ’cause that was the only car left at home, waited for more than half an hour to get into the parking lot, only to find out that it was cancelled. No one told me it was cancelled. Not everyone knew it was cancelled. Assholes. Fitness First wasted my time, and cut my sleeping hours.
I don’t even see the point in making a friggin’ schedule when you’re not going to stick to it. During our last Group Exercise meeting, they gave out a January calendar with all of the schedules. I don’t think any of it is going to be followed. To tell you honestly, we don’t even have copies of the video and cd of Body Jam Release 31. That goes the same for all the “New” releases of Body Combat, Body Pump, etc. Actually, its not even “New” anymore. Body Jam Release 32 should be out soon in other parts of the world.
I promise not to attend the next scheduled tuitions and if they say I can’t teach until next release. I’ll say, “Thanks for 3 months off.” God Fitness First sucks. Unfortunately for us, its probably the best gym to enroll in because of location and facilities. So, you can enroll and be a member. Just don’t work for them. And don’t leave valuables in the locker.
Another test…

Your EQ is |

147 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you’d have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You’ve got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You’re average. It’s easy to predict how you’ll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities – you’ve either out “Dr. Phil-ed” Dr. Phil… or you’re a dirty liar. |

Warla Warcraft
Rocky, Charles, Lola Poma, and I weren’t able to play at our usual DotA hangout because one of the owners of the place and dear Rocky have a real life text war going on.
Friday night was scheduled to be DotA night and we were without a venue. Anyway, we didn’t really think about the situation until after we left Fitness First, which was at around 10pm. After the gym, we headed off to Brothers’ Burger along T. Morato. I had the Pounder again. Yey!
Sitting there for an hour or so, we decided to check out Station 168, walking distance from Brothers’ Burger. They had DotA but it was 60 pesos an hour. That’s double what we normally pay. But the place was clean and new, and we were to lazy to move elsewhere, so we decided to stay and play.
For the first time ever, we played with strangers and got our asses kicked. Well, this is technically our 4th evening of network gaming. There was 4 of us and 2 of them and they massacred us. We suck all hard.
After our defeats, we headed home (Rocky still at text Warcraft). When I walked into the kitchen, I had a little war with a million ants. Someone had left a plate of chicken bones out and ants were scattered everywhere. Usually, I don’t mind ants when they’re in a neat little line, but this was just overwhelming. I took out the can of raid from under the sink and won that war. Thank goodness. Now, there’s about a million dead ants scattered all over the counters so I’m going to have to clean it up now. Once again, I suck.
Tagaytay and Baklissimech Confuseness so Salty
So, Aileen sent me an SMS to tell me that Tagaytay was to be postponed. So, naturally, I set a meeting in Bellissima to talk about the events calendar for the year. When everything was set, Aileen calls me up to tell me that Tagaytay will push through. Ugh! I had to cancel the meeting I set-up like 2 minutes before. I must’ve sounded like an idiot.
Anyway, we have to meet with Bellissima because they want to give us another day. Like, other than saturday, we get wednesdays or something like that. And they’re asking if we can be “gay” on wednesday. I really have to think about all this. I’ll, of course, ask all of you about it soon. Will want your opinion on this.
DJ Patch is spinning for us on saturdays again so that should be awesome. I was excited to go to Baklissima pa naman to hear him. DJ Patch Rocks.
So, I’ve been preoccupied with American Idol, Fitness First and Warcraft DotA. I haven’t really had time to make an actual update. Well, that’s wrong. I’ve been too lazy to make updates. Like, I can’t even write about the things that I’ve been doing ’cause its such a friggin’ snoozefest. Anyway, I think I still should try ’cause, you know, like, this is a journal and its still my life, however boring it may be.
Okay, American Idol 4. It still rocks. I watch the 4pm showing on Starworld because I just love American Idol. So far, I’ve been picking my favourites from the 2 cities they’ve been to. I only have 2. From Washington, I like that 21 year old, black, single mother, who also seems to be a fag hag ’cause when she got the golden ticket, all these “men” started screaming (like high pithced) and arms were flailing everywhere.. From St. Louis, I like that girl from the country. The one living the simple life. Never been on a plane and like her first time in the big city or something.
Fitness First… Not much to say here. Just trying to lose them holiday pounds. Doing weights and Body Jam with
Rocky and Lola Poma.
Warcraft DotA… Still kinda fun. Not really too much going on there. Although, we haven’t gone back since that scary bootch incident. Like all these guys were yelling all bootch like. Scaryness. Like testosterone was awful. Eww eww eww.
I should be breaking out of this rut soon. Have Body Jam tuitions tonight. Will be in Tagaytay this Saturday for dinner. Have Tita Chels’ birthday party on Wednesday. Another birthday on Wednesday. Uhm… Yeah!
I’m 20! So, that’s like 1984???

Pisces 2005 Horoscope |
 As the New Year arrives, Pisces, you’ll be quite intent on making a name for yourself within a group situation. You’ll do a fine job of it, and you’ll be remembered for some time to come for your efforts. During January, you’ll be focused on joint financial situations and intimate relationships, all of which will work out quite well as long as you’re not afraid to ask for — and take — the advice of an elder. The new Moon in your own sign on March 10th will call your attention to your physical self — and while you in particular should never ignore your emotions, you might want to pay attention to the outer you, just for a while. During spring, and most especially in April, monetary changes could be en route. Does that mean you’ll be pinching pennies? Not at all. In fact, if you’re smart about it, you may have more money to spend frivolously than you’ve had in some time. After the 15th of April, thanks to Venus in steadfast Taurus and your house of communications, you’ll be especially persuasive, too. Don’t even think about giving up on any argument. You’re ready to make constructive changes, and to make them quickly. You go! Once summer arrives, you can rest assured that you’ll be entertained — and quite amused! At least one new suitor will come your way after the 21st of July — someone who’s as home- and family-oriented as yourself. You’ll also be willing to apply yourself completely to getting the job done at work, but with family issues so pleasant, who’d blame you if you were late — or even absent — for a few days? As the year draws to a close, one-on-one relationships will still keep you busy, but with the solar eclipse of October 3rd, and the lunar eclipse of the 17th, you’ll shift to money matters — joint financial issues in particular. If you’re not happy with the way your half of the money is being handled, take back control of the checkbook and don’t apologize for it. Be careful with finances during the holidays, but do enjoy yourself. What are the secrets of your personality?

DotA = Defense of the Ancients
Just a quick DotA update. Yesterday, Rocky and I kicked serious ass in Warcraft DotA. Awesome.
We’ve decided to add local network computer gaming into our usual schedule. Its actually cheaper than clubbing at 30 pesos an hour. It’s quite awesome. Like Lola Poma and I just played earlier and it was like 90 bucks. My Chai latte at Coffee Bean is like 110 bucks. Its cheaper! And really entertaining. Time just totally passes you by. Seriously.
So, now, I wanna upgrade this computer at home ’cause I totally missed playing The Sims. And they have The Sims 2 out already. I’m so stoked. I wanna get that but this cheap ass computer can’t take it.
That’s all… Good night everyone.
So, the day pretty much started when Lola Poma came over to my house. Our original schedule was to tinker with this program called PodUtil, then go to the gym at 530 to take Body Jam. So, he got to my house and we tried out the PodUtil.
The PodUtil is this program that I got from a friend, who got it from China. What it does is allow you to copy mp3s/aacs from Ipod to computer. Lola Poma and I are not the best computer people but it was pretty easy to figure out. Also, its a cool new way to file share. Haha. So, after searching through each others libraries we finally finished at 8pm.
A kinda weird incident that happened while we were in front of the computer was getting a call from Singapore, from a friend, asking how much the itrip is here.. Immediately, being followed by a call from Bangkok for Lola Poma on my phone. It was Lolo Contits. How did he know that Lola Poma and I were together. Weird psychicness. Anyway, Lolo Contits is getting Lola Poma speakers for his Ipod. So, we got two back to back calls from elsewhere in Asia about Ipod accessories. Neat.
Charles then dropped by to watch some dvds.
Rocky dropped by on his way to 129 Square on Katipunan.
After 2 dvds, Charles, Poma and I headed there as well. Okay, we were glued to the monitor for more than 6 hours. We were playing Warcraft. Warcraft for 6 hours?! Who knew it would be that fun?! Anyway, after getting my ass kicked by Charles (he really plays them computer games). We kinda had to rush outta there because we’d all forgotten that there was colour coding and that Lola Poma and I rode with Charles, and he has Friday as his coding day. Lola Pom and Charles ended up sleeping over ’cause neither of them could leave.
Before sleeping though, Lola Poma and I had embutido, rice, ensaymada and corned beef. AWARD.
Spring Cleaning…
So, I had nothing to do this afternoon and as I was sitting on my bed, I noticed this shelf. I didn’t like this shelf. I threw it out. That started everything. So, here I was on this spring cleaning mode in the winter. Winter somewhere else, we don’t have winter here in the Philippines. We don’t have spring either. Boy, are we SEASON losers. Anyway, I was like throwing out this set of shelves ’cause it just annoyed me. Then, I threw out another set because it was identical to the one that annoyed me. Then, I threw out the bigger set of shelves that matched the twin set.
Okay, so, like, throwing out shelves leaves you no space for anything so I had to throw out some things too. I also put some things into storage. I put a lot of clothes into storage. I cleaned out my closets a month ago but I just took out stuff I DIDN’T use. I didn’t include stuff I RARELY used or thought I might use in the future (even if I’ve never used them ever). Out went a few more suitcases of sweaters, sweat shirts, jackets, jeans, yadda yadda yadda…
My mom and dad freaked ’cause I just went through a throw everything out phase a month ago. They were all like “What’re doing? What’s wrong with you?”. Well, the problem is, I live in a shoe box. I don’t think my parents get that concept.
Seriously, I have no space. I was so used to growing up with huge bedrooms and bathrooms. Then we move into this tiny place a few years back ’cause like things got messed up and we’re poor now or something like that. So, we moved into one of our apartments which is not a problem with me as long as I have internet, aircon and cable. I didn’t think about space. I dunno. I’m retarded. But anyway, I think my parents kinda got the idea that I accumulate things fast and I’m kinda filling up the storage space in our other building.
They’ve decided to knock down a wall and give me a closet. One of those things you walk into. Thank God! Growing up, I had a walk-in closet and a bathroom/sauna as part of my room. So, now all I need is the bathroom/sauna of my own. Maybe I should start by boiling water in my room or put in a bath tub instead of a bed. They might just give in and have another wall knocked down. Hmmm…
So, I watched Ocean’s Twelve and I got really dizzy ’cause of the shaky cameras, the quick pans and the super fast zooms. I got motion sickness without actually moving.
I liked the movie. I just had to close my eyes every now and then to avoid throwing up… especially during the super fast zooms that were one after another.
he’s so cute, i loff him…hihihi
KEVIN: you’re still my crush
MANOLET: hay naku, you are soooooo sweeet! talaga? with or without botox yan ha?
KEVIN: of course!
MANOLET: sige na, i am going to cancel na my botox appointment, and my liposuction, and my facelift, and my tummy tuck, and my buttlift hahahha
KEVIN: ay. wag na lang.
The Cute List…Animal Style
Throughout the years, Darra and I have loved many cute things; from Beanie Babies to Rainbows to Italian Men. Everytime we’re together you’re gonna here the word “cute” at least once. Which makes one wonder what cute means anyway? I mean, all of us have different tastes in everything, so “cute” for me may not be cute for you.
So, I thought I’d tell you the requirements that Darra and I came up with regarding what aminals are cute to us. So, for an animal to be “cute” it has to:
1) Be fluffy. Like a big ball of fur. Fur is always good as long as its free of fleas and other nasty buggers. Animals with no fur at all are really disgusting because they feel gross. (This does not hold true for aquatic aminals)
2) Be slow. Since Darra and I do not want to put too much effort into chasing around after an aminal, they must be really slow. But don’t be a sloth. They’re ugly. The speed of those long haired guniea pigs should be fast enough. Tarsiers are a little too fast.
3) Squishability. Animals have to look squishable (ie. when you see them you they make you so giddy that you wanna squish them.) You can be small or big as long as you’re squishable. Baby pandas are squishable but mommy pandas are not because they can rip your head off.
4) Look helpless. If you look way smug, you won’t look squishable. And if you’re not squishy, you’re ugly. This applies to siamese cats and the like. Unless, of course, you’re a really fat siamese cat that just lies around because fatness makes it too difficult to look snobby.
5) Be helpless. Like baby harp seals in Norway. Darra and I want to save baby seals from poachers by hugging them until they’re squished.
6) Don’t be dangerous. We don’t like that. Koalas are dangerous ’cause they have claws which make them ugly. But declawed koalas are cute. Be like the manatee. Just do nothing but eat, linger and get run over by boat propellers. We love manatees.
So, I think I’ve got it all covered. The requirements for aminal cuteness. What animals do you find cute?
First 2005 Entry…
Well, its kinda been just a few days since 2005 started. So, what did I do?! Hmm…
I ate at Darra’s. Pigged out all day and night and brought home a pecan pie. You are jealous. I can tell.
Then, yesterday, I went to the Fitness First Fort Bonifacio with Charles. Going to the gym after like a month of no work out is good. I’m in pain right now but I know things will get better. Like Martha Darra M.K. Stewart says, “Its a good thing.”
I did Body Jam at like 430pm and my knees were kinda giving in around track 6. So, I had to kinda lower the intensity level every now and then (sorta kinda rest periods for poor me). At the gym we ran into Ate Arnold (aka Ate 4’2″, Kuya Poppet (aka Ate 4’2s husband), John and Liz. We all ate at Chicken Bacolod.
I texted Jason ’cause I remembered him telling me that he’d be in the area. He came over to Chicken Bacolod and we made chika. CHIIIIKA! And we decided to meet up a little later after he’s done hanging with his straight underwater hockey friends who were eating sisig.
Charles and I headed over to some badminton court on Timog to pick up
Joma. I ate some really fab Hainanese Chicken and waited for Jason to arrive. While we were waiting, Joma and I were talking to a new friend we made by the name of Julie. She dressed really well, has fab hair, big eyes, paints, and talks a lot… Joma and I so got along wih her ’cause she’s 6 years old. And Joma and I are well… young at heart. But younger still than you. CHAREZ.
Finally, Jason, Charles, Joma and I went to Jason’s studio. Its like where he lives and where he paints. I loved it. He has a pretty green wall. Kathy, Charles’ sister, followed us to Jason’s ’cause she was feeling kinda confused about something and it was bothering her. Its better now.
So, drink kwentuhan drink kwentuhan drink kwentuhan drink kwentuhan drink kwentuhan until it was time to go home. Yey.
CHINKCHILLA
