I think I think too much that I actually think that I shouldnt be thinking about it. |

Tick - tock...
I wish time would stop but it won't.
Countdown: 29 days.
Barely a month to go.
So much I MUST do for myself, but I can't focus and complete a single thing.
I just can't. If I could just drop everything for 29 days...
Confused, fragmented and scrambling...
Please give me more time...
Tick - tock... |

Wow, I'm actually using my LJ and writing entries.
Sorry for the useless entries.
Sometimes it just gets a lil' bit too lonely to bear.
And after all that shroud of anger gradually cleared-up,
the sadness emerged much deeper than I ever thought it would.
Fuck, I just feel very very low man, bear with me.
Paminsan minsan lang naman ako mag sulat...

Old engine:
- B16A EF with intake, exhaust upgrades
- Condition: Damaged internals (pistons, valves, etc...), magulong wiring, atbp.
- Solution: overhaul or change engine?
Decision...
New engine:
- B16A EG6 head
- B20B VTEC engine block
- Type-R intake manifold
- Type-R throttle body
- Type-R injectors
- Type-R headers
- Type-R ECU
- Type-R harness
- Apexi VAFC
- Exeddy racing clutch
- Skunk2 adjustable camgears (?)
- Type-R camshaft (?)
- titanium retainers (?)
- NOS (?)
- atbp.
Fuck. Should I really? Bahala na.
Here we go again. Torques and HPs. More power, more speed, more go, more dough.
It's just really satisfying to see all these specifications going into your new engine. It's just really exciting to anticipate how it will perform when its finally done. Damn. No turning back. Here's to another cycle.
Pampalubag loob.

"If it had really been all about the music in the first place, you wouldn't have let anything stop you."
It's not even about the music in the first place...
It's just not about the music...
Maybe this is not even for me anyway...

Hi. This is Ala pretending to be Nino because he never posts on his LJ.

Well, there's always a room for firsts... I'd say that this would be my first real entry into this LJ...
I "officially" ended an already extended vacation away from the dynamics and stress of an active lifestyle last week. I finally started moving, doing stuff that I should've started a month ago, like doing projects, doing "work" (tasks that provide income), and, well, working out once again (my last gym workout was end of march).
It has only been a week since I started lifting iron once more, with relatively good progress into warming up and recovering from a physical slump. But things tend to go haywire when things are goin' good...
I RE-dislocated my right shoulder several hours ago...
Had a great workout, had enough discipline to adjust my workout focusing on recovering from a dislocated right shoulder last March. All was fine until I suddenly had this urge of hitting the punching bag as if it was a real threat, my favorite warm-up and cool-down.
Jabs, punches, elbows, combos... felt good... harder, faster... left hook, right hook... then all of a sudden, it seemed that the right half of my body became paralyzed. Then my whole right arm gradually turned from numb to sore. It took me around 2 minutes to get it back. Fortunately, I wasnt using full force, it wasn't as hard as the dislocation I got last March. But the really painful part of it came not only from it's physical impact, but from the broader spectrum of the other life relevant aspects that we have been trying to nurture through these times.
Yeah, yeah... whine, whine... shoulder dislocation is a fairly common injury amongst those who love sports, and for some, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But if all of a sudden you realize that a great deal of your short-mid-long term plans and goals were heavily dependent on your hands and arms, then the real hassle plays in.
Why is it so frustrating? A lot of reasons, but for now, it would be the timing. So much to do and to be done... so little time... and suddenly you lose the full potential of your strongest weapon? At a time when an almost full recovery from a previous injury was about to be completed, at a time when finally you imposed unto yourself the preparation and execution of the best that you could be and more... A time when potential will transition to kinetic...
Maybe not just yet... Again... Always... Always, an almost...
This is not the first time that such an incident crossed my paths. It seems that whenever I'm getting closer and closer to an ideal rating of performance with whatever I'm trying to improve on, something I want to develop, something I consider as a stepping stone, a goal, something crazy happens.
Maybe I'm exagerating a bit coz it really feels bad... but, then again, maybe I'm not... It's not something you could just walk away, forget and simply smile about...
So that crosses out a whole lot of sports that I've been preparin' for, either a revival of an old sport, development of a current one, and trying out a new one... But no, it doesn't stop at sports alone... Music? I could still play guitar, bass, drums or whatever... but for how long at a time? It gets sore really quick if held it in a playing position for a certain period of time... Art? I can't keep my arms raised for extended periods of time, plus the limitations in the ranges of motion that my arm could move to... with small paintings, I could live with functioning hands, but with bigger pieces, I need my arms... dammit... Computers? Well at least I could type, surf, edit or whatever. But I have so much rewiring and remapping to do for my computer network... I need fully functioning hands and arms for them!
It's not that painful yet, but I think its getting there... we will know when I wake up tomorrow (later)... I hope it doesn't get worse... If it does, bahala na...
This RE-dislocation is such a fucking hassle! I've been in this situation before, so I'm quite familiar with how its gonna make my daily life miserable. I've been having troublesome injuries yearly, on a seasonal basis. Nothing near life threatening, but bad enough to complicate a lot of things.
(recent times)
2001 - fractured left ankle
2002 - fractured 4th metacarpal, left hand
2003 - fractured 4th metacarpal, right hand
2004 - dislocated right shoulder, re-dislocated
Once or twice a year ain't so bad, but I cannot afford to lose months and months every year just for recovery, to be able to do the things I want, to do the things I need, to do the things I have to... and oh, these thus render some of my bodily components permanently weakened...
So what's in store for 2005? dislocated left shoulder? fractured right foot? pierced ribs? Broken neck?
Ok, enough of the ranting, it's still cool, I'm still alive and kicking... hahaha! Bring em' on! Well, on second thought, wag na muna! Sana...
Bwiset! Bwiset! Bwiset!
