| This is probably the only activity in my schedule that I was able to accomplish for this weekend. Nonetheless, my very first rock climb in Rockwell will prove to be an experience in my life which I can be thankful I've had a good training in the gym. Yes, this is something that made this week remarkable.
For 200pesos per hour, three of us in the barkada tested our skills in climbing and belaying in the PowerPlant. I took courage of being the first one to climb the wall while my two other friends studied belaying. After less than a minute, I reached up the end. Not bad for the first time.
Contrary to what I've always believed, this experience made me realize I have no fear of heights (at least, no unreasonable fear). However, I just felt the fear of letting go and the fear of failure. This picture below is, what I believe, the most challenging portion of the climb. Being a short guy, I found it difficult to grab the rocks on the mounted area. Also, my week right arm got tensed after a couple of climbs before I did this part.
I promise to finish this wall area when I get back to Rockwell next week.
I would probably have to take some time to train my forearm so that it will withstand the weight of my entire body.
Probably, I could try being a sky dancer too!
I hate this pic. I look so bungisngis.

| It's quite unusual for my phone to ring on an early morning. Early, meaning before 9am. I'm not really surprised to get a call from the mailing room, asking me for my exact location. What do I have in mind? G! Last week, G asked me for my office address. I gave the full detail up to my cube number. I was expecting to receive the posters of their photography tilt, nonetheless, I kept on teasing G that I am expecting to receive a box ofchocolates. After a while, a messenger approached and handed over a whiteplastic bag.Inside was an elegantly looking black box with big brown writings. In the center of the cover reads:THE PENINSULA CHOCOLATIER. With an envelope taped on top, where my name is written, I know just whosent me those delights! Inside are 24 mouthwatering Swiss chocolates, dark and whites, differentshapes and coatings.All are delicious! Cris,
Better late than
Never. Thank you for
Being such a great guy. Xxxx

I am happy that it didn't appear to my teammates that it is very unusual for a guy to receive a chocolate.I was asked frequent times who gave the chocolates, and I have just answered, "a friend."They say, if you don't know how to interpret something, just take it by its literal sense. So now, I am happy that G really appreciates me. I am thinking of painting my second oil piece for G. | | |
| Supposedly, I was just going to pickup the Thermogain I ordered from Kuya Nathan in Fitness First RST. Instead, I stayed and joined the Nike Rockstar with Nathan. The gym was packed, as usual. This time, it's really horrible. The members had to leave their bags in the reception since there are no available lockers. So Nathan offered his locker for sharing with me. After a while, Paopao came over and share the small locker. Probably, the gym has to post something like "Bring your own Lockers." worse than Slimmers. I couldn't deny that Thermogain really is boosting my energy. I haven't taken my dinner, and I was crumbling at my knees since I ran for 30 minutes in the treadmill with 3lbs dumbbell in each hand. I sweat theentire hour of Nike Rockstar. This time, I am able to go on with the beat, comparatively better than my previous sessions. The classroom was packed (again, as usual), and I get to step on others' feet and hit their hands with mine. Oh well, they did the same thing to me! A-manos! After the class, I did some cable crossovers and decline crunches. Though I wasn't really surprised, I saw G in the gym today - running towards me! There was a little improvement on me today. I no longer mumble my words as I speak to G. Reasons? I still don't know. G's Chest and Biceps exercises were over. Shower... The men's locker room is under renovation. There are still no liquidsoap dispensers this time, and only a bottle of shower gel was left in the floor for the members to use. At least, unlike Pao, I won't have to use my facial wash in bathing. G invited me for a dinner in their house around Rockwell. There's what G calls "left overs" in their house that we can feast on. I can't really deal on the details of what happened next. All I can say is that, this night made me really very happy. It shows by the big smile I had on my face all night long. There was something that G said that I suppress to reverberate in my mind, "I didn't plan this. Sorry, but there is nothing I can offer you - love or..." I know the impact is quite very heavy, but I chose not to complicate my life. Life is a lot better without the excess baggage. I'll face tomorrow with a happy face. | | |
| Work. At times, there's a lot of things to do. At times, there's a lot of things to think of so that you'll have something to do. At times, wala talagang magawa! Life at work really is like that! Just the previous days, I had to extend a little more hours in the office just to finish my conceptual designs. It's kinda pressuring, yet, I ought to cherish these moments since this is the start of a better career. They call it 'elevation'. This morning, I came in at 9. With the taho I bought in Buendia, my presence is almost empty since I knew there's nothing that I will do. Oh yeah, there is at least "reading" to do on the materials that are related to work. Last week, I was still able to browse prohibited sites. Yet, this time, no matter how hard I try, I just do my buntong hininga to see that the blocked sites are growing by numbers. *Sigh.*Yesterday, I tried what Max adviced me - to use google translate to view some blocked sites. It worked! However, when I tried it this morning, I saw for myself the message: "Reason: The Websense category "URL Translation Sites" is filtered." Oh, I'm feeling a little desperate. But oh... They say life is what you make of it. I could still make a happy eight hour work life even if I can't browse the sites I used to check. It sounds hard, but we ought not to make things the subject of our bitterness. Save myself from stress and wrinkles. I don't deserve them, as much as anyone doesn't. I forwarded an inspiring SMS to G this morning. Although, I am trying to suppress myself from the attachment I usually get out of meeting people, I knew that I have the option and the power to change how things will work. Like if I used to say that "Men come and go," I knew I can always try to keep the line of communication open. It's been a month since I've known G, and probably the 'excitement' period has been over. Since I can feel the barrier brought by G's busy work life. However, with me, I still feel 'excited' but no longer expecting too much. With all the people that crossed my path, most have just left some tracks and never cared to go back, nor look back, I keep on hoping that G will stay and be a good friend. "Good morning!" and "Night, Cris" are quite sweet stuffs G sends me every morning and before we end the day by sleeping. At times, I wonder if those SMS sending will fade out, and so I will just bear in mind that if G shall miss a text (on a morning or on an evening) I will do the texting instead. Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Compromise. If someone has to fall deficient, someone has to fill in the shortcomings. | | |
| It's already 11:30am, yet, my eyes are only busy reading at someone
else' livejournal!
Blame it on my headache, I can't really seem to start working today.
Nonetheless, yummy-tofu has quite interesting stories to read in his
page. Oh, I miss JT!
This is only the second time that I posted an entry through sending
an e-mail.
The Websense is up again, so, I can't log in on my journals. Good enough
that Xanga offers this e-mail posting feature.
It saves the couple of minutes of boredom I have every morning.
Does anyone know if LIVEJOURNAL has this same feature?
Let me know, please?
Yesterday, I had my very first 10k run at the Fort!
With me were Nathan, Hubert, and Sheine. I had a lot of fun on this
event, even if I had only loaded myself with two hours of sleep and a
burger from Jollibee. Nevertheless, thank you Nathan from the supplement
you gave me.
Geez, that works like a power potion!
I was laughing when Net told me how cute I looked when I was
running.
But oh well, I didn't really think if I should take her statement
positively or in another way.
All I can remember is that there were two runners who said "Hi" to me
and to Nathan while we were running towards the 5th kilometer!
Hahaha.
That was an instant inspiration for the kilometers ahead of us!
If it calls for only headaches and body pains (plus blisters on my
sole), I'd gladly run my next 10K to see more cuties in the road!
But for now, I'll work on my motivation first to finish the review
comments on my conceptual designs.
Wish I was on a sick leave or vacation today.
I miss someone again today, but not as intense as before.
If he misses me, oh well...
