Gotta get more gym
Running way behind my gym workouts. Gotta start catching up and getting more muscles growing if I want to hit my plans for this summer.
(Sunday to Saturday, Feb 1-Feb 7):
Gym - 0 Bar - 1
Total Tally so far:
Jan 2-Jan 31:
Gym - 15 Bar - 16
Had a fun time at Fandom Cafe today. Although we shot two episodes for Fandom Live!, unfortunately, the computer itself didn't cooperate and only one episode of Fandom Live! actually was successfully saved. The episode on the Death of Batman and the Battle for the Cowl was saved into the database. Our We:View of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wasn't, which in some ways felt apt since all of us weren't exactly sure if it was appropriate to be part of the show. (We only decided to We:View it because none of us had seen Underworld:Rise of the Lycans yet). Nico actually joined us as a guest host and it was kinda sad that the We:View episode wasn't saved since it wa the episode where he was much more vocal.
Much to my surprise, Paolo and Nina opted to join me at O Bar afterwards. Nick only stayed to join us for a single beer. Pao and Nina, on the other hand, enjoyed watching the O Divas!
Got home around 6:30 and was feeling kita tired after the long fun day. Planning to be absent for the next few days from my usual attendance at O Bar to try and get some gym time back into my tally. Desperate to balance out the scales better and keep my gym habit going. Sayang naman if I allow myself to falter way too early.
The Open Gaming Meet is coming up this weekend. Most likely, gonna cancel the usual gaming night with the T.R.O.P.A. to have enough time to host a Valentine's Day inspired Roleplaying game. I only wonder how many players are willing to try a game which is more romantic than adventurous. I guess only time will tell.

Hunter: The Vigil's demo "The Hunt"
by Tobie Abad
The scales have fallen from your eyes. A fire is lit: is it a lamp
perched over the inscription upon an ancient blade? Or a roaring
conflagration consuming the house in which the howling fiends wait?
Things will never be the same after this. You've set forth on a damning
path. Carry the Vigil. Fight back the shadows.
Like a crossover between the shows Supernatural, Millennium, and
X-Files, try this demo of White Wolf Gaming Studio's upcoming game
Hunter: The Vigil this August, for 5 players only. Interested parties
may contact tobito_abad at his YAHOO addy, or drop a line at
garapata.blogspot. com
More information on the game can be found here: http://www.white- wolf.com/ hunter.
FORMULA V Season Race 8 and 9
by VJ Cabazor
Using the Formula De game system, this is an ongoing championship with
points to determine who will be the Driver's Champions and Team
Champion. Following the F1 calendar loosely, there are a total of 18
race events, with 2 races per OGM. Due to the length of time it runs
when there's a lot of players (maximum of 10 players), the races will
start at 6:30pm. Interested players can just look for Victor during
the OGM when the game is being prepped (you can't miss it, it's a huge
box).
Info about the game can be found here: http://www.rpg. net/reviews/ archive/12/ 12040.phtml
Samurai Swords
by Adrian Martinez / VJ Cabazor
One of the rare Milton Bradley Gamemaster Series, this game can handle
up to 5 players, and is only being brought since 2 participants would
like to try it out. Interested players can just look for Victor or
Adrian during the OGM when the game is being prepped (you can't miss
it, it's a huge box).

Updates: My Current State of Being
1) Emotional Rollercoaster
Been having major swings up and down as of the late with some personal matters that I cannot fully disclose as of now. What I can say, however, is please add to your parents petitions for Good Health and Healing to all your friends, family, and family of friends.
2) Missing My Panda Bear
Wish I could visit her sooner, but I guess it has to be baby steps until things are really ready. To be able to visit her, I need to accomplish the following: a) a means to work even while abroad, b) my Canadian visa renewed, c) Enough cash to last the trip and finance our nights out when I get there, d) A place to stay so I don't have to crash over their house.
Still working on b, c, and d. Currently accomplishing a. Getting myself a laptop. Was dead set on getting http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8770582&type=product&id=1203815723071 a Toshiba to give me the accessibility I need. But I heard a new model came out the week my parents were going to order it for me. So I am waiting to see how that goes.
My sweetie had a Guiness last night with some friends I guess at an Irish pub. Wah... I wish I was with her during the time. I recall having one back in St. Patrick's day with some friends (Nick, Alec, the Fab sisters and Nina) and that was the night I paid around 350 for a can of Guiness, and met that guy who looks like Liam Neeson. Hmm.. On hindsight, that guy did promise to treat me to another can when I return.
Missing her tremendously. For those who are willing, please also add "May Tobie and Isha receive blessings from the Pinya." to your prayers. Alam na ni Lord what that means. :-)
3) Samsung X8-20 Broken
I think I dropped my cellphone one too many times. There is now a fine crack across the whole screen that seems to be damage from the inside since I cannot feel the crack when I slide my thumbnail against the screen. The damage is enough, however, that the phone shuts down on its own at times. Sigh. My phone used to be protected by a little nice cushioned bag. I lost that bag for a few weeks and it seems the phone got battered enough during those two weeks to get this damaged.
I am going to have to invest on a new phone soon.
4) Gaming Keeps Me Sane
Thankfully, I still get to have my once a week gaming session with my friends. Well, usually, that is. The Exalted game has finally reached the last "major story arc" and the players are really feeling the pressure now.
In preparation for the days we are not complete, Aldwin has also offered to run for us a Dragonlance Campaign. That should be fun. I probably would create a character similar to Riva Silvercrown (although likely sticking to a Knight rather than a Paladin class) if I were to play in it. It is d20, so I'm not too keen on it yet, but then again, it could be worse.
Probably shelving the plans to play a Weapons of the Gods campaign after Exalted. Obviously had fun with the Amber diceless session, but I dunno. Maybe will hit back Changeling or Vampire after instead. Or better yet, try their new World of Darkness (Lost and Requiem respectively) incarnations instead.
5) Open Gaming is coming this Saturday
Yep. That too. Here's hoping to see a lot of new fresh faces.
