tip of the day: if you have long legs, never go to failure on leg presses!

11 plate repping just fine till my unpredictable muscles just give out and i get stuck on the bottom. no one there to spot because they are asses at midnight! the next bad thing is, i gotta take off all 22-45lbs plates and then lift the platform back up to starting position! it was tiring and i felt like an asthma patient!

i woke up to the pleasant sound of the brown diesel truck that has a louder exhaust than my mustang. the UPS man dropped off my Ford motorsport gears. now i have to find a new person to install them because the guy at rancho got busted for doing side jobs. i have to drive to ghetto west la now to get an aluminum driveshaft and to get it installed there because some other amigo can do it for me. he is charging $200, an extra $50 than the guy in rancho. that sucks. so after all this madness, i just neeed one more mod left for my car: a 70mm BBK throttle body. fixing up your car is an expensive hobby. 3 years down the road, ill end up selling or junking my car and i can get a brand new mustang gt with 400hp off the lot; almost twice the amount of power than the car i have now.

i couldnt sleep for the past 2 nights, but for some reason i feel just as energetic. there are lots of things going through my mind as i try to sleep but by the time i get sleepy, the sun is already shining brightly through the window. oh yea i had this awesome dream but its a secret. its not XXX like akash's but just as good.

i know when i have a good workout when my forearms cramp up everytime i move it a millimeter. once i got home from the gym, ill go about making my super meal of 3 chicken breasts and 4 cups of rice and some vegetables. then ill mess around on AIM and jump in the shower. it was hell in the shower. whenever i try to wash my hair my forearms would cramp up so tight i would have to put my arms down and rest for 10 seconds then try again. but nope. itll cramp up even more. i can see each muscle fiber through the skin and my 0% fat i have. it was even worse when i try to scrub myself with the wash cloth and soap. so i got pissed and decided to take the pain. i would block off the pain and think of something pleasant. even though i can feel my arms tighten up in unbearable pain, i just had to get a good shower and scrub every inch of my body. then just about the time when i couldnt handle it anymore, i began to see stars telling me my body is going into shock. good thing i was done. i didnt even bother to dry myself up because i would have fainted.

my traditional breakfast consisting of a mixture of oatmeal, 2 eggs, and tuna is beginning to take a toll on me. its not that it doesnt taste good, its because its just not prime rib or teriyaki chicken. everyday, i would take longer to finish it. just like today, it took me 3 hours to finish 4 cups of that stuff. maybe its just spring break and me thinking i have all the time i want to finish it. because during school, it would only take me 3 minutes to finish the porridge. i will never stop eating it because believe it or not, its the most important aspect in how my body looks right now. you think training is the most important thing in bodybuilding? think again, its your freaking diet which is 10 times as important as training! listen to me now, believe me later!

on monday, phil and i had one of the best workouts. it was a record and plateau-breaking night. phil moved up in strength from the last week's workout by far and i ended up maxing out on the flat bench at 295lbs. tonight, robin came along and we did back and biceps. for some reason i felt strong today and decided to go super heavy. phillip was a great help in pushing me pass limits and he is a good spotter. when i get tortured during an exercise, i tend to do the same to spotter, so i tortured phillip. its true what they say though, more pain the better the results. but thats only if you workout with me under a strict eye. sometimes you see people lifting heavy, but without proper form, itll all go to waste. it took me too long to figure that out, so now im giving all the good advice and shortcuts to new trainees so they wont have to waste time like i did. im happy im making a difference in people's lives. <--dork.

i downloaded gangs of new york from kazaa because it got so many nominations at the academy awards. i wanted to check it out. it was 720MB so it took me about 5 hours or so. when i watched it, it looked funny because the words were in some european language and it was black and white. so i thought it was only the intro. the music sounded low-budget so after about 5 min, i see these 2 women talking and then the next screen i see these 2 men taking off their pants and it all fell out. i was thinking the next 5 min will show the 2 couples having an orgy. so i deleted it. it was a german or swedish porn that had a setting like gangs of new york. so that was a waste of 5 hours. im pissed. now i dont know what to download thinking it might be other porn.

seems like there are more deaths from accidents than the actual war itself. the US needs to train their pilots on how to fly helicopters and distinguish between friend or foe readings on the radar. theres been like already 2 helicopter collisions, one friendly fire on a britain jet, and a crazy US soldier who tried to bomb his own men. i wonder what will happen next

iraq has really pissed pres bush off by breaking the geneva convention on the treatment of POWs. they have tortured and killed US soldiers and even recorded the ordeal. i think this is a sign telling the americans that killing sadaam is not that easy and that they will have something in store for them once the troops reach baghdad. ill just to wait and see.

dinner at jackies tonight was great as always. good ole american food: bean soup, BBQ honey glazed chicken, buttered corn, salad, and steamed potatos. who washed dishes? ME. always. but i dont care i hand-wash them at home too. we watched the academy awards where half of the awardees were old people who i have no clue who they are. we then played cranium. me and ash oh a team and we did not kick butt, but i probably answered the hardest question of all: spelling psychology backwards in your head. jackie and jenn are cheaters because they had some cards memorized. how the heck can someone recognize a drawing of a pregnant women in 2 seconds being drawn with their eyes closed? or recognize a clay figure of a DNA when isnt even molded yet? oh well, girls. so tonight is the last night thatll ill be at her house till jackie graduates in may and comes back home. then later we can make weekly treks to corona and sit in her hot tub or play rounds of hardcore pool volleyball.

as of now im waiting for my last mod to come in the mail: my 4.10 gear ratio for my car. this will help me a lot. and i barely found out how to work my diablo chip in my car. for all these days, it hasnt been working and i found out that ive been starting my car too soon. gotta put it into ON then wait till the lights stop blinking, then start the car. what a difference.

so now its spring break, what should i do? besides train phillip, i think i might call in to my casting agent to see if they have some extra background work for me. easy money there. a day or 2 will help me pay off some bills.
