these pics are taken within this week at talagang nagulat ako??? cos what do you mean that’s my build now? lol never thought my build looks like that.

madami na nagsasabi sa gym sa’kin na lumaki na katawan ko or gumanda na katawan ko which i really appreciate but personally wala talaga ko masyado nakikitang changes na, i’m just living the lifestyle.

pag matagal ka na kasi nagli-lift, matagal ka na mag-gain ng muscle or makakita ng significant change unlike pag bagong lifter ka, grabe yung stimulus, mabilis mo lang din makikita agad yung change, at malaki siya. pero dahil years na ‘ko nagbubuhat, i don’t really see that much changes na unlike before. so nagulat ako nung nakita ko yung pics? may improvement naman pala talaga hahaha, siguro dahil isang anggulo lang nakikita ko sa salamin sa every day lol.

i’m consistent at the gym. very consistent actually. bilang lang yung days na nagskip ako within 3-4 years na nagbubuhat ako sa gym. at dahil lang yon sa mga sakit. seriously. but i have rest days of course and i have intentional rest/deload weeks. and lifting is not something i need to be motivated. it is not something i need to force myself. it is not something na kailangan kong pag-isipan. it’s automatic. alam ng katawan ko na pag 10am na, bubuhat na. naging habit siya. until lifestyle na siya. it’s like how you eat 3 times a day, or paliligo, or toothbrush, hindi mo pinagiisipan, hindi ka pressured, you don’t need motivation to do those things, you just do, it’s how you live. that’s lifting for me. lifestyle siya. at the same time, i’m a guy that is comfortable on having routines. so you know hindi ko na masyadong napapansin changes because this is just something that i do. so nagugulat ako these past few months/weeks pag binabati ng mga tao build ko. i was like naaaahh not really but thank youuuu love u until nakita ko pics ng ibang tao sakin this week and like waiiittt i cooked hahahahaha i cooked that creatine and protein sht hahaahah.

pero kahit na consistent ako sa pagbubuhat at years na din, you will see na hindi naman talaga pang bench body katawan ko or like yung kita mo talaga muscle definition, separation and stuff. people think kasi na pag matagal ka na nagbubuhat at consistent, yung as in pang model na katawan mo, obvious, very visible mga muscles. kumbaga lean. but i actually love me some fat, i love me some tummy. i love eating. and i like being bulky, so either bulking or maintaining the bulk lang ako. im not scared of the fat. ok ako sa ganyang build, just enough that you can tell na nagwoworkout ako pero alam mong kakain ako ng gusto ko.

my january films.

got back into the hobby of watching movies this year. also tried letterboxd na din kasi mahilig ako manuod and it’s nice to log them pala. recommend me some films and i’ll watch them! especially romcom/feel good movies (really liked bridesmaids ang tawa ko). dahil parang puro mabigat or patayan pinanuod ko last month.

don’t mind my ratings. it’s simply how much i like the movie. i’m not a critic. take if i had legs, oh that was such a great movie: cinematography, editing, the choices made in that film, especially the acting of rose byrne. sobrang gandang movie pero 3.5 sakin at di ko na yan papanuorin ulit tanginang yan.

romcoms/feel good movies, animations, inspirational, or mga patayan will always be rated high in my card because i’m a sucker for those.
