i declare today as my best leg workout. i dunno what it is that made me so strong but all i know is that i ate 3 fish filets and Mcvalue fries 2 hours before hitting the gym. i squatted 385 4 times till failure and i slapped on all the weights that could possibly fit on the leg press machine. i put 12, but i dont know if the machine was made for 12 because the last plate was hanging on halfway. i need something heavier, i repped it like it was cake and richard thought i was superman. richard is a big guy and i bet he can rep it easier than i. then when i was on my last exercise, i hear patternized yells out in the cardio area and as i look there was this black kid about 20 years old running on the treadmill with headphones on. he was yelling so loud on each step that the whole gym made fun of him. he would yell everytime he took a stride and then sighed out loud also. his posture was sloppy and it looked like he was gonna faint but he kept on running and yelling. then about 15 min of the annoying yells, i hear a long sigh and he got off the treadmill. he walked around like he was the man; dripping in sweat and wearing a loose tanktop. he had a mini afro and he went in the bathroom, came back out to his treadmill and surveyed the area to make sure people knew it was him who ran on the treadmill. the fat he really burnt off are the ones on his lips because his body was already somalian-like. what a retard.

after the gym, i went to the 24 hour walgreen store and bought some apple scent nair. nair is the famous hair removing lotion. so after i took a shower i decided to put some around the crotch area, the side of the upper thighs and the happy trail. it said to put on a thick film on and to leave it on for 4 minutes, so i did. it started to burn just a little bit after a minute but i didnt have a watch so i just waited till it seemed like 4 minutes. next step was to wipe off with a washcloth, without soap, with lukewarm water. here comes the pain. i think i left it on for more than 4 minutes judging by the coarseness of the hair. i was surprised to see how easy the hair came out as i wiped it with a cloth. the smell wasnt even close to APPLE. the only thing that resembled apple was the green color of the lotion. it smelled like ammonia with burnt tire. as i wiped the area, it burned like hell, especially the upper thigh area because of the thin, sensitive skin i didnt know i had. other parts of my body are rough and bulletproof. after all the hair came out, i was as ready as a playgirl model or a porn star. i was happy with the results but not the feeling afterwards. even as of now typing, i am burning down under. i did put some sunburn lotion because it does feel like a sunburned area but it isnt really working. the skin is actually chafed, with a layer of skin taken off. in conclusion, i rather endure through the temporary pain of nair than to shave. im not willing to take the risk of using my mach 3 and knicking something precious to me. what i later found out, this lotion wasnt formulated for the bikini/crotch area. it was made for the legs, arms, and body. they have this other product that is specially made for the bikini area and weaker than the one i used so it wouldnt burn. but it is 9.99 where the one i bought is only 3.99 and 3.99 rebate (free). i know what to do with the rest. no, im not gonna use it on my legs, but im gonna pour the rest in a friend's shampoo bottle so he/she can look like a cancer patient.

i love my avril CD!

wow look at the time -------------------------------->

today was my 2nd day of spring quarter. i have been wanting to take more classes for some unknown reason. my brother told me a long time ago that during the last year of college, you will have the urge to try to finish off school as fast as possible and just suck it up. he was right. during the beginning of college, i fooled around and didnt even think twice before taking classes. my schedule was messed up and now i have to pay the price. it seems like every quarter, scheduling the classes at certain times gets worse. i mean the breaks between classes are so long and now i have to put up with friday classes. school on fridays are supposedly unheard of for a typical college student because its not high school or elementary school anymore. and now the breaks are so long, 8 hours to be exact. i am forced to go back home, eat, and sleep for another 4 hours, eat, then go back to school. i would never stay on campus because cal poly is the 2nd largest cal-state campus and is built on a rugged mountain side where going to class is a hike and walking back to the parking lot is a treacherous downgrade. wherever you walk, you are burning calories and i even get cramps and blisters occasionally. this is another reason why my body is like 0% fat. morning classes are the worse for me because i always end up sprinting to class at least 15 min late and panting as i find a seat. parking is a pain because everyday, not only do i have to be quick in finding a spot, you have to be quick in picking up a person to take them to their car. even though sometimes i park in the last space a couple miles from campus, im still happy that i even parked.

my classes are better looking this quarter. not that they renovated the classrooms, there are one or 2 good looking girls in my classes. one is a latina chick, VERY VERY rare in an E-business class because i usually find asian girls that look and smell like theyve just unboarded a floatational device. another looks like a mixed asian/white girl, a look that most of you know i prefer. but still, shes just a looker, nothing more. one of my EBZ classes is called E-business startup. this is a 4 hour class from 6-10pm that is taught every wednesday night. it is hell sitting there 4 hours long where a teacher from Texas with a mullet and a strong twang teaches you how to initiate a business online and produce effective business plans. this guy is funny and admits that he is an asshole himself. he told us to take out a piece of paper and to write this and show it to our parents: "NO GAMES OR CHAT ROOMS OR EMAIL, PORN OR CRAP. THIS DUDE IS AN ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE ABOUT ATTENDANCE." he really got the point straight when he said no games, chat, porn etc. he must have said that 10 times that night. i think ill enjoy that class, but i will dread the 4 hours because he said he didnt want us to waste our money and that if we wanted he said he could teach for extra minutes beyond 10pm as a "free gift". my other classes are foods and nutrition where ill find very interesting as the valleygirl-type teacher adds to my already saturated knowledge of nutrition. i have a french 1 class where im beginning to learn simple conversational pickup lines. ive always wanted to learn french because it is a romantic and pimp language. comment allez vous? je vais tres bien merci, et vous? comment vous appelez vous? je mappelle simon.

au revoir.

i remember asking akash yesterday if we had school today (monday) and he said yes. i was like aww crap, school again after not doing anything worthwhile for the whole week. then later on that night, i asked jesson if he was gonna add a class with me tomorrow and he said school starts tuesday. so then, i was wondering if i should be nice and tell akash that there isnt school. nahhh, ill let him go to school tomorrow morning because he told me his dad wants him to start waking up real early to prepare for his future 9-5 job. so i hope hell wont find out that there isnt school and itll be funny to see him wonder why he has the first parking space.

so then i slept peacefully till 2pm where it wouldve been 9am and i helped my friend sean move to hollywood. and once i got to his place, surprise! who do i see? chris and chad. hopefully i scared them because they look a little too small to move. after an hour i see chris and chad talking outside as sean and i moved the heavy stuff from the 2nd floor. so i decided i should let them do the moving-in part. my job moving out is easy compared to them moving the heavy stuff to the 2nd floor of the new place. sean is going to attend the music institute for the guitar elite and i bet hes gonna do good and hopefully be a studio musician for his dream pop stars such as britney, christina, mandy moore, nelly furtado, michelle branch, etc. sean is the lead guitarist from last minute and he is my only friend from that band and the only one with musician-like talent. the other punks i dont adapt with too well. i keep on telling him to quit the band because he has so much potential to be in a better band. we moved from his dog/cat piss-smell apt in san dimas to smack dab in the middle of the hollywood glitz. when i mean smack dab in the middle, i mean around the corner from mann chinese theaters. what a wonderful place i would like to live in. im not being sarcastic. many rich beautiful women and a couple of gay fags here and there but hollywood wouldnt be hollywood without the weirdos. so sean now lives in this studio room and he doesnt have to commute to school. instead, he walks to campus following the famous sidewalk of stars 5 min away. even roscoes chicken and waffles is just 5 min driving away, guitar center is 5 min away, house of blues, henson studio, carney's, melrose ave, hustler store, etc. that city is great. now i have a reason for going out there.

after the moving i was pretty tired so i ate a couple burgers at carls jr. got home and i went to the gym with phillip. phillip is beginning to push me more and its a good sign. he forced me to bench more than what my body can handle, but with good form, thats the only way of breaking plateaus. and remember whenever he pushes me i push him back. then we went to his house and we took some of the first shots of me doing some poses. phillip will be my photographer with his brand new sony digicam. i have been tanning and i got pretty dark but not dark enough. my legs are shaved and my proportions are almost right. i even got a pair of a contour-fitting shorts to expose the quads during the shots. shaving for the first time is a pain. i was about to listen to akash to use nair but i was lazy in getting it so i just shaved. it took so long to get every angle and to reach certain blind spots so after i was done i found some patches of hair. so next time ill listen to akash and use nair. taking pictures of yourself is the only way of telling how you look in the public. it is also a good practice to pose without using a mirror. believe me, its hard to look perfect in the angles and lighting and posing without a mirror. bodybuilders memorize the exact angles and they have to hit it right everytime especially in front of judges. and sometimes certain poses do not look right with some people depending on their height, proportion and under-developed body parts. so you have to get this type of art down and know your own body. choose your best pose and work around weakspots without hiding them. since today is just the first day of an experimental photo shoot, ill choose a couple of the best looking shots out of the next 2 days. maybe ill send them out to fitness modeling agents, but ill be better exposed if i win an NPC contest and have photographers do the rest. im not planning this as a career but just for an accomplishment.

out of the 5 movies ive watched the past couple days: Problem child 1&2, Hannibal, Miss Congeniality, The Pianist....

...The Pianist ranked the best out of them all. why? because it is a movie about the Nazis. well not exactly, its main focus is on a jewish pianist who became separated from his family during the clearing of jews in warsaw. it also showed how he managed to survive in hiding having the right hookups from some german friends of his. hes lucky that his fame as a pianist helped him 50% of the tight situations he was in. the movie had no nudity like schindler's list but showed point blank head shots of victims and corpses littered on the streets.

2nd best was Hannibal. this is a sequel to the silence of the lambs. although its not as good as part 1, the ending of this movie was the best. the movie was about how Hannibal Lecter, the escapee and mastermind of cannibalists continued his life in florence italy after fleeing from the US. Sterling, the female FBI agent was again trying to put him behind bars. one greedy italian FBI agent tried to capture him for the reward without knowing how dangerous he was and too bad he was gutted and hung. although sterling reminded him, he didnt listen. at the end, we can all sense the bond between the reunion of sterling and lecter as they meet up again in US. sterling saves his life in one situation and in another time, lecter saves hers. he knows he can never have an appetite for this unique FBI agent. but now at the end of the movie, the setting shows everyone gathered around the dinner table where lecter is cooking and everyone is dressed in their sunday best. sterling queezy from her novacane finds out her partner is a little drunk. we find out later he is not drunk and we see lecter taking off his hat and a line is cut around the diameter of this man's head. he pulls of the top half of the man's skull and the brain is exposed. lecter, an MD describes to sterling that the part of the brain he cut out controls the decision -making control. he continues to cook the part of the brain and feeds it to him. THE BEST PART. cops come he is handcuffed by sterling but decides to cut off his own wrist just to run away. the last 5min of the movie shows him free again inside a plane heading somewhere else. an asian kid (being asian is appropriate in this ending) walks up to him and during the distribution of plane food, the boy asks if he could have some of his food. lecter asks why and the kid says the plane food is nasty. lecter asks what he wants, and the kid points to the rubbermaid container lecter brought along with him. he explains how he also complains about plane food and decided to bring his own food. so he compliments the kid for being special and feeds a chunk of brain to him. hahaha the ending is sooo good!

miss congeniality sucked because it has bad acting and some parts were exaggerated. it is unrealistic and the problem and resolution were too simple. plot: Ex-miss US and CEO of MISS US becomes fired. ceo of miss U.S. paegeant gets her revenge by attempting to assasinate the next crowned MiSS US. FBI agent goes undercover as Ms. new jersey, stops the bomb and saves the day. the end. dont watch it, i did because they wouldnt stop playing it on TBS.

i watched problem child 1 and 2 and those are good, funny classics. if you like to be immature again, go watch them.
