Day 13 - Breakfast and Lunch

Being that it took so long registering the car at the LTO, i just snapped up a quick bowl of Raisin Bran Cereal and some low fat milk.  Not all that much but it's been enough to keep me full and it's now 2:40PM.  The cereal i ate at around 11:30AM.

Alright i just had lunch and it was good!  Since it was so late already, obviously there was no food left in the office so we had to order.  Can you guess what we ordered?  Kentucky Fried Chicken!  Yummy!  Now, can you guess what i ordered?  Dude, normally i'll order a 2 piece chicken meal with rice or a Zinger meal with a coke, sometimes i get their brownies too because their brownies are actually pretty good!  But not today.  Not with my diet.  And no way with how committed i am to this shit.  So instead, i got.....

That my friends is a chicken salad with a ceasar salad dressing!

I never fucking thought i'd be that guy man.  You know, the guy who doesn't order a 2 piece chicken with extra gravy from delicious KFC, but i guess i really am committed and i'm clearly sticking to it!  It's ok though, i don't really feel bad for myself.  I quite like it and am enjoying the fact that for the first time in my life i'm eating really differently!  Cheers guys!  

I'll be exercising later, can't wait to find out what "trainer" is going to make us do today.  Also, can't wait to find out what my wife will be feeding me for dinner :)

Day 13 - Fuck Fixers! (Registering the Car)

So, today is May 31, the very last day we had to register our car before being fined.  I know it's last minute and all but whatever, the deal is done.  So we woke up really early and rushed over to the LTO.

Once we got there, things started to move quite quickly and i remember thinking that this is cool, the LTO got their shit together.  The emission test was done, we got the insurance sorted, and the rest was done.  Then we were sent to another building to complete the registration process.  At this point i was thinking that this could not take much longer...boy was i wrong!!!

A paper was submitted and we were asked to wait.  While waiting i observed our surroundings and noticed a few things.  One of them were signs on the wall of the LTO Mission and Vision Statements.  Here they are:

Where is the order on the roads?

Quality Drivers?  I don't think so...

Roadworthy?  Isn't there way too much smoke?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

But then something else caught my attention!

Umm, Mr. Alberto Suansing, there are fixers outside your building!!! Hello open your eyes!!!

Anyway, after being disappointed yet again by our government and their offices, i noticed a peculiar guy in line in front of us.  He was holding a pen (just like all fixers do), as well as more than 1 set of registration papers, and quite a lot of cash!  I took pics of him too...here are the papers...

Here's his face...

Him telling the guy behind the counter he was registering 2 vehicles...

The money and the guy behind the counter who is clearly dealing with a "Fixer"

And claiming the paperwork for the 2 vehicles...

My question is, how does one report a fixer?  I mean, there are signs that clearly state that no one is supposed to deal with a fixer and that if caught, they could be fined up to 2 years in Jail and up to P200,000.  I would love to report these guys man!  They tie up the line with their multiple registrations and more importantly, because it says they are illegal.  If it weren't illegal, fine, fucking do it.  But don't claim it's wrong and let it happen in front of anyone and everyone!

Anyway, we got our car registered, thank God that's over.  Now off to work!

Day 12 - Dinner Out + the night that was...

I was freakin' starving man!  I hadn't eaten since God knows what time plus i had to say no to that Pizza Hut Pepperoni Pizza and those Mojos.  So by the time my wife and I were ready to eat it must've been after 9PM.  We couldn't really think of a quick bite (even though i had band rehearsals at 9) so we ended up eating at Eat Well around the Fort.

When we got there i'd done something i never did before, i looked at the menu as opposed to knowing what i wanted.  After sifting through it we decided to start off first with some appetizers.  We got 4 pieces of these:

What are these called again?

And for my main course i had this:

I also had about 4-5 cups of Hot Tea.  Love this by the way!

After dinner i rushed over to Isla Musika Studios and played bass with my sprained hand for about 2 hours.  When it was all said and done, we went back to a friends house where our girlfriends/wives were waiting for us.  There, i had 2 little pieces of bread with a Tuna topping and some tequila!

We didn't stay long being that it was already something like 1am when we got there.

But, when we got home, i managed to Jump Rope for 14 minutes, 1:46am to 2:00am.

This is my commitment to health and nutrition and because i wasn't able to exercise before jamming, i had to do this to at least make up for that loss.  It felt really good and i crashed shortly after.

Day 12 - Breakfast and Lunch and Beyond!

Back to work Monday!  Sometimes it's quite hard to start a new work week but not this week.  I guess you could say it's because i had such a great weekend plus lots of love!  And get this, i woke up before the wife!!!  You may or may not know this but this was a fucking massive feat!  Never in my life has that happened to me hahaha!  I may be changing...haha just kidding!  I'm sure its because i had to get up to pee.

Started with a cup of coffee.  Yup, i drink coffee now...was told that coffee is good for a diet :)

Slightly human and mostly beast!

Then i had some Raisin Bran Cereal with a bit of Blueberry Yogurt and very little milk.

For lunch i just ate the leftovers at the office...very little rice, not even a fourth of the plate and some pork that had loads of fat in it.  So i got what remaining meat there was and ate that instead.

It's 4:20PM now and like many Mondays, i was starting to get sleepy.  So, i made myself a cup of coffee and downed it in no time...Here's my empty cup :)

Only problem is now i feel hot!

Ok now it's 6:49PM and look at what is on the table!!!

Those are 2 boxes of beautiful lovely delicious pizza and a couple of boxes of Mojos!

I had none...fuck my life!

Day 11 - Date Night with the Wife

As we were getting ready to hear mass (yes, i go to mass) i decided that it would be nice to take my wife out on a date.  She'd been so understanding with all my drunken baffoon ways plus gave me so much love over the whole weekend that i owed it to her to give her something back and to stop being selfish.

So we went to mass, then went out for a movie.  We saw Pirates of the Carribean and i loved it that Keith Richards was in the movie!  I fucking love the way that guy plays guitar and writes songs!

This is what i ate during the movie!

A hotdog on a stick with ketchup and some coke...

8 chicken poppers from this NYFD place...

With some Barbecue Sauce.

Delicious and thank you to NYFD for being the only place open and with stuff to serve!

When we got home we decided to eat a bit more so i had 6 Korean Dumplings that my beautiful wife made for us.  I'm not sure how many she had but it was more than i had.  Love you! :)

Day 11 - Breakfast and Lunch

Once i again i was very pleased to not have a hangover though at some point in the night i had passed out and my wife had to get me ready for bed as i just plopped on the bed once we got home.  Apparently, it was a great thing that i had to get up to pee because i would have otherwise slept in my jeans, boots, and t-shirt.  Good stuff last night!

Also, if you notice the food that i ate during my cheat day, it wasn't all cheating (mongo and just a bit of rice) so i had some scrambled eggs and toast for brekkie!

And then my wife started wiping some marmalade jam on one of my two slices of bread so i took a picture of that as well.

A few hours after breakfast we were hungry again and decided that it was time to have some McDonalds.  She was also craving french fries so that also inspired us to have the fast food comfort food.

I had a quarter pounder sandwich with no cheese on it and had a glass of coke that was in the house since Friday night.  We otherwise no longer keep any softdrinks at home :)

Not in the photo is the one pack of ketchup that i had with my sandwich.

Oh, i forgot to tell you.  I hurt my hand warming up last friday by boxing this punching bag!

Because of that, this is what my hand looks like now...

I still have it wrapped up now, a full day later. I think im gonna be in this for a few days...

Day 10 - Night Out!

Another crazy night!  What do you expect?  It was a rock n roll celebrant and there was a keg of beer!  What's more is that 3 of us friends made a rule that once any of the 3 of us would finish our cup of beer, the other 2 would have to down theirs that way each time one of us refills our cups, all 3 have to as well.

It was dark, my phone cam kinda only shoots with light, pictures suck but here they are:

There's a 3rd cup but i wont bother posting it here, it's just waaay too dark.

And then, some fucker left the hose of the keg on and wasted all the beer!  Talk about a fucking rookie maneuver to destroy the party man!  But we were assured that more beer was being bought and to just relax and wait a while.  It wasn't our party nor our beer so we behaved ourselves but what a shame, i love draft beer!  

But anyway, the bottles arrived and i asked my friend if we could use her camera instead, she said yes.  These are the shots she took :)

We put the bottles into the cups to continue the game :)

 I had 3 slices of this delicious pizza! They were tiny, 2 bites per slice.

 Lazy to use the cup now...

 another one...

 another beer to go with the foodtrip of the fish 

(never have i eaten fish as fuckin food trip!)

 Another beer....

 and apparently i had some peanuts though i dont remember

Thank you for the ride home and for the photos!  Very much appreciated indeed thank you very much :)

Day 10 - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

First of all, zero hangover!!!  I love it!  Normally when i mix drinks i fuck up by sleep walking or pissing in my drawer or some stupid shit like that but this time i was a behaved boy and stayed in bed and woke up feeling just fine.

My lovely wife asked me what i wanted for cheat day breakfast and suggested French Toast!  Fuck yeah i love that stuff!  And so here it was, 3 pieces of beautiful french toast made with wheat bread (the only bread we have at home.)  Otherwise we would have used white bread since it was cheat day after all.

Notice that i use a LOT of maple syrup!  Fucking Good Stuff!

Oh, my wife wasn't able to finish her last bite so i had that as well.

The perfect breakfast!

After breakfast my wife and i just played a little bit at home but soon after i had to leave for a recording session wherein i was to record 2 songs on the bass guitar.  While there we all got hungry so Jollibee was ordered and since i had some cash on me plus it was cheat day i decided to place an order as well.  

I guess i was more excited about it than i thought being that i only remembered to take a picture of my meal when i was practically done with it.  This is my already eaten Regular Yum happy meal with fries and a coke.

After eating it was realized that we were done with the recording and so i headed home to hang with the wife.  It didn't take too long before she was hungry as well so we had dinner not long after.

Adobo with a bit of rice and lots of Mongo.  What you see on the rice is the sauce of the Adobo.

It was good and i enjoyed the mongo more than i normally would have :)

Day 9 - Night out at our Place

So this afternoon, a facebook message was sent to a select few.  We were looking for something to do that night that didn't require much, just some booze, good company, trippy tunes, nice conversations, and of course, a lot of power!  We got together at our place and all in all were only 7 people.  It was a nice night with a light rain outside our balcony and drinks flowing in the living room.

This is what i consumed that night...

I started with a bowl of Pasta.  Remember, i just came from a massive work out that took over an hour to complete so i was really quite knackered and fucking starved!

Tuna Pasta with some Tomatoes and Olives.

Mostly healthy except that they weren't whole wheat noodles.

There were only 2 beers in the house when we first started drinking and since there were only 3 of us at first and my wife didn't want beers, my friend and i had a round each.

I nursed mine quite a while but soon after was done and needed another drink.

Rhum Coke!

There was a bag of Doritos but i just had a cigarette instead with another Rhum Coke!

And then another Rhum Coke!  Fuck man loads of Coke!

Power and Cigarettes!

I did get hungry though so instead of munching on Doritos i sliced a Pear :)

And put it on a chopping board mixed with delicious chocolate that i didn't touch!

After that i had a couple more Rhum Cokes!

This picture shows the cheese, and crackers that i also did NOT eat.

And when the Rhum was gone we hit the Bacardi and also mixed it with Coke :)

I no longer remember this but apparently i also had a bag of Quaker Oats...

As you can imagine, it's not the easiest thing to photograph everything you consume and document it, especially when you're drinking a lot of drinks and mixing it all up as well.  What is not seen in these photographs are a few acts of drunkeness.  Namely, i had at least 2 of those Bacardi's and not just the one.  Also, when our friends were about to leave, we noticed that there was still half a bottle of red wine that the girls didn't finish.  So, the remaining 3 of us guys decided we didn't want it to go to waste, and so we drank it straight from the bottle.  Thanks Rene Barbier!
