To Buy or Not to Buy

I never knew it was going to be hard to make a choice about the property we were planning to buy somewhere south of Manila. It seems that I have a few questions to ask first before purchasing it for my family and I would not want to get my money spent on worthless ones so I took a short trip yesterday and checked the village out. It was a parcel of land spanning the right part of the road where there are a couple of Pineapple plantations. It was a nice place although I was a little dumbfounded why they did not have a sign of some sort in front of the actual village. The real estate company did not have a corporate office and they were just situated on a vacant lot that had three tables and a couple of assistants to man the stations. It seemed to me that they were just fly-by-night corporations but since I was there for a specific reason, I went ahead and asked about it.



The lot that I was trying to buy was very near the pool, the church and the club house that they plan to put up. They are still unfinished so I did ask if they have an estimate when the amenities are going to be accessible but apparently they are clueless. I know they were from one of the premier real estate companies in the metro but it was really not that appealing anymore. They did not even have Real Estate Logos which made them really look unprofessional. I think they need to fix things first before I am going to be convinced to pay for it. I however was impressed with the model house that they showed us. It was the ideal three story house with a large garden outside and a parking space that could fit around 2 vehicles. I know this is going to be expensive if we were on the other side of the road because that part had a view overlooking a world renowned volcano. If only they make things better this would have been an easy decision. Now I'll ask you guys, to buy or not to buy?!

Ampatuan Massacare Trial Starts Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be the start of a long trial process for the greatest criminal of all time MAGUINDANAO MAYOR ANDAL AMPATUAN Junior. It seems that this will be a good gauge if justice still prevails in the Philippines because he has long been tagged with the killing of about 70 journalists and politicians in the same province. I will watch the trial on cable news the whole day. I pity the victims a lot and some of them are personal friends of friends too so you could imagine the impact of this in the local scene. Even the UN has denounced these killings.
Around 75 National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents will escort him to Camp CRAME. NBI Deputy Director for Intelligence Attorney RUEL LASALA said that NBI formed a Task Force AMPATUAN to make sure that everything will be in order tomorrow.



The Philippine National Police Headquarters Support Service (PNP-HSS) will be on full alert to make sure proceedings will be smooth come the start of the trial. According to Deputy HSS Chief, Senior Superintendent Gordon DESCANZO said that there will be 360 police men will secure the court room, the path where he will be held and the other individuals that will attend the hearings. There will be no live media coverage that will take place during the trials but I am sure that major news stations will be covering this no matter how they try to stop it. Supreme Court Spokesman Attorney Midas Marquez said that they will not allow it though.

He also reiterated that electronic devices like cell phones, laptop computers, and recording devices are not allowed inside the PNP hall that will serve as the temporary court room but they will allow coverage before they start. The victims MANGUDADATU and AMPATUANS will be located separately inside as well so they won’t have any confrontations. I hope to God that he punishes the right guy and everyone who did this to innocent people.

The New Workout Regimen

It looks like I have to look for another routine I can do for this year. I need to build up more muscles obviously and the one I need should contain body building programs that have been proven to work for people with my built. I am so tired of the normal Asian regimen that they were initially forcing me to follow and I think my lineage boasts of European decent. I need to see a weight loss program that will also qualify how big I am in the first place because I am no ordinary Filipino boy.

I do not have the abdominal muscles now but I am planning to have some in a couple of months. I will have to concentrate more on my core muscles since I have already accomplished having big biceps and triceps last year. This is the eve of another change in my physique and in order to perfect what I want to be physically I need the help of all the information I can get in the Internet. Maybe I also need to read a couple of articles that would directly contribute to what I already know about working out. The new workout regimen is tantamount to the success of my body building plans this year. I will stick to it by hook or by crook!

Back to the Gym Again!

Well I've got my bags packed and I am ready to go back to the gym after three long weeks. It has been that long because aside from the holidays which I spent overeating LOL I have gained a lot of weight and I got sick too. I was not in the mood to pump iron or run anymore because I need to recuperate. Good thing I had that short 1 day vacation in Batangas that kept me relaxed and sane. Now I am feeling a lot better. I did not eat dinner a while ago but I bought myself a couple of pieces of bread, a liter of mango juice and some chips to store. It was all nice and got me fed while monitoring my work.

I need to work on my abs hehe... and my big guns of course! I will have to bulk up more so I can beat up people I don't like when I'm walking on the street LOL. I have to also do a hulk thingy with cars and stop them while running haha. I am going to keep my food intake monitored and probably cut down on a lot of things like carb. I need to keep my energy up though.

Aside from that, I am really gearing up towards a healthier lifestyle. I am gonna stay away from smoking and drinking. Which I do occasionally... but I am optimistic that I will achieve all my goals before the year ends. I just did the same this year anyway! I will pray for it just like the ones that came true this year! I hope I get to be more buff this year!
