Heard from a Dream Today...

Strange dream.

Had a very strange dream today.  You know how you sometimes have those dreams where you're not really "there" in the dream but instead you are some kind of omniscience presence watching everything unfold?  I had that kind of a dream today.  

Just remembered it as I was posting today's camwhoring session, cause the dream kinda connected to it.

It started out with me seeing myself in someone else's room.  This someone else being someone whom I kinda enjoy hanging out with.  I was sort of just watching the whole thing unfold as if I was a bunch of cameras in the room, catching the conversation.  The friend was on a couch, going through a few websites while his companion was there, reading a text message.  Companion happens to see a new blogpost of mine and curious, asks Friend to click it.

Friend: Ay yan, that's just Tobie camwhoring again.

Companion: Camwhoring, ano yon?

Friend: Having fun taking pictures of himself.  He's been hitting the gym lately and has been having fun documenting the developments.

Companion: Medyo cute siya... click mo nga.. ang liit ng pic eh.

Friend: I guess.  (clicks website)

Companion: Ay.. ang feeling naman nito.  Liit liit pa ng katawan, panay pictures na.  Pa pose pose pa.  Sabihan mo nga friend mo nakaka-turn off siya.

Friend:  ... He is my friend you know.

Companion: Ay sorry.  Just being honest, no.  Tanda tanda na.  Tapos akala mo naman kagandahan ang katawan.  Siguro sobrang inggit ito sa tulad natin.

Friend:  He's not like that you know.  He's a good friend of mine.  Really.

Companion:  Sana man lang may face.  Buti na lang walang gusto ito sa iyo, kundi ang badtrip non...

And at that I woke up.  Kinda forgot all about through the day, but now as I was prepping to post today's update as well as the kuwento on Mr. Silent Evil (he was there), it was this dream that suddenly came to mind.  Hay.  Talk about pathetic, diba.  Sarili kong unconcious ang naninira sa self-esteem ko! 

Part of me was wondering if I was not just dreaming but actually picking up on something, since I have had some other-worldly experiences I couldn't easily dismiss in the past... but somehow that seems even worse a thing to consider.   Hay... ewan ko ba.

But yeah, that dream suddenly got me feeling a bit more conscious about camwhoring.  Maybe will have some kind of  code sa title (C) or something so those who don't care to read my camwhorin updates can easily skip past them.  Or something.

Ay whatever.

I'm still happy I am achieveing something for myself.

Chevy Mailbu TV ad ('Her Morning Elegance' by Oren Lavie)

The "Her Morning Elegance" video is really good. And since others have already posted it, I decided to post this one. Same song, same director, but for an advertisement.

Really good one too.

Hitting the Irons Again

Been neglecting my gym habit.  I keep typing it and I have yet to really DO something about it, so today I decided to do something.

Although work wasn't done, and even if my car wasn't available at that time, I decided to make my way to VIGOR gym at BF Homes and get some muscles pumping.   Hit my usual cardio routine, following it through with 200 side bends, 120 crunches and 120 leg lifts, then took a breather to drink some water before I dove back into the free weights and the machines.

(Sunday to Saturday, Jan 25-Jan 31):
Gym - 2 Bar - 3

Sheeeyooot, the pain was unexpected.  All I did was go lax one week and suddenly I feel like a wee child trying to lift the weights for the first time.  All the grunting between mouthing lyrics of Ashley Simspon, Get Far, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and (yes, the odd songs in my mp3 player) stuff by Akira Yamaoka (Go Silent Hill!!!!) must have freaked out some of the other people in the gym considering by the time I was done, there was just me, two more people and the trainer left behind.

(At one point, while working on the bench, I was grunting out the lyrics to Silent Hill's "You're Not Here"...

So now what should I do,
I'm strung out, addicted to you
My body aches, now that you're gone
My supply fell trough

Gladly gave me everything you had and more
You craved my happiness
When you made me feel joy it made you smile
But now I feel your stress
Love was never meant to be such a crazy afair, no
And who has time for tears
Never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love
'Till now

The guy next to me stopped working on the rowing machine, looked at me, then asked, "Resident Evil yan diba?"   I shook my head, grunted to shove the weights up, and said, "Silent...."

And he goes, "Ay Silent Evil pala."

I nearly drop the weights on my face.)

Work has been flowing nonstop like a rising ride but thankfully, Lost and Battlestar Galactica are back to keep me smiling.  Been catching up also on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and been resisting the urge to dive into 30 Rock or start watching Demons.

Open meet next week.  This weekend is definitely another RPG night with the tropa.  Over all, a happy day so far...

... here in Silent Evil.

Bwahahah!

Funny twins

Isha shared this earlier today. For some reason, I keep getting the chills rather than finding myself laughing at this. Waaah, what's wrong with me?

Camwhoring again

The quest to gain a healthier, better looking body continues!  Hit the gym again and damn, I feel great! Definitely have to catch up more on working out since the bar nights are gaining a lead on things, but taking these pictures are a great way to motivate myself.

Of course, the positive comments from friends, supporters (and fans) also help (hint hint!)

Was at O bar again after the meeting and work out last night.  Louie and Nico hitched a ride with me.  Got there to meet up with Doc, Jenny, Bong and eventually Carlo.  Even Voldermort was there, which was odd, but hey, at least I can now tolerate his presence without resorting to shoving him backwards with my hand on his face.

Great show by the O Divas, although the energy was lower than usual.  Dancing Queen player real early, but it was a hit with us sharing the moves I learned from ABS-CBN Global.

Si Louie ata na overdose sa extra                                             joss because at some point sobra uber hyper na siya sa pag sayaw.

Still, all in all a fun fun night as always.  Unfun nights are almost unheard of at O Bar.

Gotta work up more my chest, and abdominal exercises.  Ayoko naman magmukhang non-proportional. 

Oh, belated birthday greetings to Carlo Vergara and to Mario Lozano!

Anxiously awaiting for the other pictures from the ADB Dinner and Drinking fun last saturday.  Unfortunately, Sonny has yet to upload his (for certain) 100+ pictures of that night.

It is another week.  Here's hoping we have lots of great things to look forward to!

Updates on what the Garapata's been up to

Been a heck of a week last week with lots of laughs, dancing, drama and growing self-esteem.  Although I've been failing last week to keep my gym focus on target, I definitely am feeling the benefits of going as often as I do.

(Sunday to Saturday, Jan 18-Jan 24):
Gym - 3 Bar - 5

Total Tally so far:
Jan 2-Jan 24:
Gym - 12 Bar - 12

Animo Dugong Berde had a little get together at SM Mall of Asia last Saturday, which I decided to attend instead of having another round of Vampire: The Requiem.  No guilty feelings, after all, Seth and Sam were happilly setting a schedule to play Left 4 Dead in my absence (damn, that game really rocks!).   Though we failed to get to join the dinner at Cabalen, Migs and I opted to hit Fish and Company for some soft shell crab salad before heading on to Bed Scene for some beers and bonding time with the gang. 

Afterwards, with Bed Scene closing, we decided to make our way next to Malate to see if O bar was read for us.   Horribly far too many people to get to dance, and even worse, had these annoying fuckwits who kept jostling me and elbowing me.  Thankfully, I kept my cool.   Got a message that Joseph and his friends were nearby and dropped by to say hi.  RD showed up a bit later, which was a pleasant surprise.  Had some more drama.  But all in all, a great fun evening.

Now, I'm here at Fandom Cafe as I type this.  It is gonna be a show about Battlestar Galactica and Lost having come back, Marvel Comics' Dark Reign, and DC Comics' Batman, his death and the battle for his cowl.

Still hoping to catch Totoy Bibo at O bar later.
Cheers!
