Mr. Farang’s mumbo jumbo corner

Enough is enough.

It’s weird that dinner or drink is seen as a dating game. I have had it with people. You need to eat to live. Dinner is nothing but to socialize and certainly do NOT mean straight sex.

Dinner 3X = Sex 1 time? what kind of bullshit crap is that? I never think of that when I ask a person for dinner.  If it is a dude, I ask to go dinner with; does that I want his anus?

Women here in my country have some serious mental issues. E.g. A business partner shared with my department with few muffins. I was given one but without a second thought, I share my muffin with a cute girl from my other department.

I didn’t want those fats/carbs in me so I passed it to her. Just an innocent move as such. People from all angles started asking or hinting I have a thing for her. 

What the fuck?!? Women here in my country have some serious mental issues.

As for the girl whom I was going to do dinner/drink with, I’m going to tell  that I am an asshole

Being an Asshole is my manly essence. If you don’t like an Asshole, you can stay away from me.

Ahhh……the age old office politics.

Though being new in this company, I felt & observe there are many politics going on. Well, I am not getting myself involved and certainly tried to avoid it as much as I can.

IMO. Customers is the ultimate person to decide if you’re a excellent worker. Customers’ words have the ultimate bearing on our performance, our salary, our feel good feeling. There is no need to perform any extraordinary action to polish one’s name or to gain credit.

If you work for a company, somehow office politics will get you involved. Because people are different personality and personality can crash on one another.

I tend to be good at listening. And sort of be the listening ears for many rants for many hours, many days now. Somehow, new colleagues feel good telling me about. Each time, they tell something they rant about; they say "I know your character…I’m comfortable with you." There is nothing much I can do but listen. Listening is good I supposed, it gives me a chance to prepare myself from politics & not to immerse in it.

Man…!!! Sometimes, I think I’m too kind or what. Today and many days, my colleague have been giving 2 thumbs up for being patient. What can I say……lending a listening ear does no harm.

Some of the rants go way too nasty and I tried my best to calm the persons. Even during overseas, I received text messages (rant messages). I still offer my "advices" & calm the persons the way I only know.

Yup…there! I said it. Heh heh …

They are beautiful. The ones you see on the streets are slim & tender. The office ladies are cute … LMAO!

The bar hostess are also slim & sexy… LMAO!

Don’t just reserve yourselves to Bangkok.

Come to Vietnam sometime …

I probably come here for the 7th or 8th time. It would be more frequent visit in the near future. YAY!!!

I always enjoy traveling.

Tomorrow I’ll be going to Ho Chih Minh City, Vietnam for work as well as seeing a few old friends.

Vietnam is on brink of financial meltdown, however. I do worry for the country and the regional financial stability. I can only hope it doesn’t translate into a new Thai Baht crisis in 1997.

Ho Chi Minh City is seriously a very fun place. I remembered running a log under AEN Intrabolic. I have some pictures of vietnam food.

Mr. Farang loves Vietnam!!!

These couple of months have been very terrible for me in terms of relationship with women.

I don’t know how to deal with them.  Being a patient person, I have tolerated their nounsenses for months now. I could see through all the bullshits, all the crappy reasons; I just keep it to myself - how I feel and tolerate those crap. 

Today, I exploded! I have to … I simply cannot tolerate full-of-shit people (whom let me caught right handed).

It’s so ironic that those I care so much about…they don’t bother about me. Those I don’t care about….they relate/call to me, whatever. So ironic! What is going on? Life really plays me out at this stage of my life, that’s hell !!!

While training has going well, recovery/intensity/growth has been on the uptrend. Work has been hectic and I enjoy that work portion because I get to meet people from all circles. However, people I care about/matters of the heart have been on the reverse trend. It’s so unbelievable.

I don’t mean to disrespect women (I love them). But come on, have some freaking balls to tell me off instead of going around in circle telling me "see how!","I’ll reconfirm with you", etc.  Datings & meetings are meant to communicate. They DO NOT lead to sex. They DO NOT lead to bigger things like affair or whatever is going on in their head.

I caught the woman right handed telling me a lie/lame excuses.

You know what?!? I can always go back to my work, my travelling, my training, my new bodybuilding targets. Do something useful for myself.

Skirt chasing is tiring. If it comes, it will.

Well, I have been focusing on my shoulders a little bit. I throw in 1 shoulder exercises on other bodyparts training days.  The focus on shoulders have given me some twitching on the front delts lately…:D

Reason being I feel my front delts and overall shape of shoulders are not developed properly. I had help from a gym trainer, who is kind to give me tips.

Today is a shoulder training day, shoulders and some abs training. So I hit these few exercises.  DB Shoulder presses, Machine Shoulder press, 25lbs plate front laterals, cable side & rear laterals and…Smith BTH military presses. Finished off with ball crunches.

I kinda like sequence of exercises. Normally, I noticed my fellow gym members tend to hit the BTH Military presses right from the start. For me, I prefer to switch around to give the body some form of "shock".

May be the next time, I could hit the lateral movements prior to hitting pressing movements. Well, I want to mix it up to shock my body a little bit.

Today I hit 85lbers comfortably on the 3rd set of DB shoulder presses. the 4th set of the same weights killed me. LOL!!! :p I’ll try again next time.

I also enjoyed the 25lbs plate front lateral…..I hit the sweet spot ROM and emphasized on the negatives. Boyyeee!!! The shoulders burnt thoroughly.

Next to me is also a dude hitting the same exercise. It’s weird people looked at me (bigger than him) doing a lighter poundage.

I couldn’t stress enough that you, me and every other person here are bodybuilders.  We are not weight lifter per se.  Our focus to grow ourselves and lift heavier ourselves.

My focus now is let the muscles feel for themselves.

I no longer bother about lifting to my bodyweights or how many times heavier than my bodyweight.

The idea is grow at optimum poundages, grow at the best ROM, change my ROM to confuse the muscles, stimulate the muscles at the right amount of stress/time, not risking myself to another injury no more, shock/confuse the muscles once a while…;)

I hope you share some of these training principles as I do and I am opened to your training principles. Well, I am here to learn and share.

well…what can I say. I didn’t want to think too much after the heart blog entry.

In fact, it spured me with extra kick of energy.

I felt 90lbers DB Incline press is easy today. The best thing is I did it after I hit my barbell incline press. I never attempt the DB incline after Barbell incline. Because I tend to program my exercises to emphasis the heavy load on the first 3 ~ 4 exercises.  This attempt is great. I just went all out.

Not bad. I manage to get 8reps for 90lbers. Something, I failed to achieve. 

I am glad I attempt the combo exercises.  After the heart blog entries, I grow tired of shitz.  It’s time to drop the shitz, and hit the weights baby.

I also did my deadlifts today. 315lbs at a slower than usual 6secs negative. Very low rep range…6 reps at most but focus on negatives. It actually stimulate the body more, or so I felt.

I yelled too many profanities today…partly I lifted heavier, partly for the dump heart shitz episode. people were looking at me, thinking I was crazy or something at the gym. Fuck care them, really!

I had fun at gym today!

The western world has tarot card (or was it tarrot cards?). Anyway, I hope you get the words I was referring to.

I choose not to believe in fortune telling. In Asia, we have too many fortune telling, which can be cheating/swindling money purpose. But we do have very genuine and accurate fortune tellers. Still, it is not necessary and I don’t do fortune telling.

Just so happened one time very long ago. A friend’s father who have such ability; told me that I tend to attract the wrong people of my opposite sex. Somehow, it will happen to me at quite a big part of my life.

I have shrugged it as one off fortune telling experience. I continue to live my life the way it is. Not changing much.  But to my surprise, this "attract the wrong people" comment is so true. It scared me sometimes.

If I count the experiences myself, I would be disappointed. It’s not one off. But numerous times and it gets tired sometimes. It’s either I attracted the wrong people and I am uncomfortable with…. or I am comfortable with the person but she is not keen. The situation persist for years. I keep quiet to myself.

It’s funny sometimes I think. While I bust my balls and dick in the gym, my matters of the heart seems to suck big time. And each time, I burnt myself and attracted the wrong people; I ended up working harder in the gym. Pushing myself harder.

This trend continues for many years without me looking back and count each experience & episode.

Today, I am tired. I again push myself harder and harder in the gym. I feel pusing myself working out hard in the gym during emotional turmoils.  When the turmoils come hunting me, I push myself in the gym even more so.

I don’t believe in fortune telling but experiences have reflected itself.  I hope the fortune teller is wrong because it gets me mentally tired not physcially tired.

Today, I am tired……

Mr. Farang, if you can’t stop yourself; you will hurt your motherfucking self…

I do write to remind myself sometimes. At workplace, at home, at many places where I have things in mind to perform; I write down memo or set reminder.

This entry is for the heart. Yes.

So, Mr. Farang…be careful. You either burn the person or get burnt in return.  

Ok…my family member decided to leave the gym scene. I am sad to see people quit gym actually. But hey, he transfered 14 personal training session to me! LMAO!!! Bravo!

( i ) first, I need to jump higher. Box jump at the platform height of 14 -15" inch above knee. Now I can hit 11" above knee height.
( ii ) I need to get my lats wider & thicker.
( iii ) bigger, leaner delts/quads/chests & bigger calves
( iv ) plyometric exercises, explosive movements
( v ) lift stronger for deadlifts, shoulder presses, chest exercises, leg exercises

The gym people knows I push myself pretty hard. The trainer commented/ praised the way I train, the intensity, the efforts I put in. Naturally, I enjoyed the compliments but I am not letting it getting into my head.

There are things I still can improve my physiques. And I want to try new ways to train.

While my job requires me to travel, I will plan according to my schedule and take the training as if I am taking a training course. In long run, it will benefit me for sure.

Besides I will request to set me up some ways to diet.

I look forward to finalize with him - my bodybuilding targets.

Werd!!!
