Post B-Day Week.

hello neglerio.com blog fans.

I think this is the longest ive ever left my blogspace without a post. a lot has been going on in my life the past week. to make it short, its been fucking crazy.

along with the opening of willys workshop mira mesa, my body (physically) has been taking a toll on me. it went from going to the gym almost every day since jan 1st to drinking 10 days straight during birthday week. then it all went down hill. i dont know what it was but i started having really bad back pain that would spread to my neck all week. when i mean neck pain, i mean neck stiffness and unable to turn my neck. one night i had such internal shoulder pain, i couldnt stand it and i would stab my shoulder with my thumb to try to ease the pain. it woke up me up all night long. it couldve been my body going through withdrawls from not going to the gym or my body transitioning to almost being an alcoholic.

ive been drinking cartons and cartons of pomegranette (sp.?) juice to detox my body. it seemed to work.

Its almost the final first week of mira mesa workshop. its been a long week full of 8 hour shifts, back pain and good sleeping nights. so here are some pics of what i got…

Mr. Mira Mesa’s free kicks

romantic lunch @ L&L. wondering how healthy this is.

if you dont believe Mira Mesa is ghetto. i got fucking proof. So i was eating at this table. chompin away when this guy busted out his trimmer and started trimmin away. this is actually the second guy in line.

i need to sleep but lots to do before i call it a night.

im out.

Willys Workshop Mira Mesa

its time for me to let go of 23. 10 straight days of beer for birthday week is making my brain hurt and stomache enlarge. thanks to everyone a part of birthday week.

Stone World Bistro & Gardens

like i said,
birthday week is still in effect.

sunday: Cheers
monday: TGI Fridays
last night: Stone World Bistro & Gardens (yes, Stone beer)

Stone World Bistro & Gardens is located in escondido, not too far off the 15. its the only building its its area and its freaken HUGE! they have an outside patio with a fire pit, another bar, and better yet, a freaken garden you can walk through.

they have 45 min guided tours where you can even taste beers, they have classes on beers, and they even have easter egg hunts in their garden.

the food was different but good. they have crazy explanations for their food. every item has some type of their beer in them. you can really get faded off their beer & cheese soup. you garnish a taste that your taste buds have never tasted before.

their BEER menu was crazy. they have almost 100 taps! the menu changes daily. you can taste test all the beers you want. they have a bunch of limited beers and we were lucky today. this is a list of what i remember that went down my system:

1. Russian Imperial Stout (2004)
2. Russian Imperial Stout (2005)
3. Avery Salvation-Belgium Golden Ale
4. Flying Dog Double Dog … (< this drink is $$$)
5. Oaked Arrogant Bastard? (some oak beer from george)
6. Nightrider
7. Paulaner Hefeweizen
8. and some beer that was 12%, went down smooth as water (literally), even shalihe didnt think it was bad.

and of course, willy was recognized by the bartender and he was cool to us the whole night.

so next time your in the mood of eating out of the box, this is the place…

birthday week continues…. whats next?

24.

the big anticipated day came and went. i am now 24 and i am still in debt. thank you everyone for making my day extra special. every year it seems to getting better and better. so if you didnt know, me and ron have the same birthday!

birthday week is in full effect ladies and gentlemen. its ok if you didnt make it out to any of the events or even just one event cuz its only the start of birthday week.

Friday – Landlord Jims:
rons skateboard art show was crackin. my stupid ass was too occupied that i didnt even take pictures of the skateboards! not even my own. so when i get a hold of pics i will post. there was a long line to get in. and especially for that bar, the fire marshal wouldnt have been happy.

univ x workshop x 5&adizzime

this is my buddy buddy friend ian. he has something up his sleeves. watch out for hoey inc. thanks ian for coming out! he gave me a wad of cash-money wrapped with a rubber band for my present. it was pretty crazy.

birthday kisses are the best. especially from a blonde & a brunette, at the same time.

umm yeh. if you look at this picture, the beauty of these ladies distracts you from seeing the guy in the back. someone please send this to maxim.

she made my night.

DOMINATED.

anaballz works 2 doors down. we kinda got crazy in there. but i got the special birthday treatment. no homo.

josie playing receptionist. wait, oh yeh, she actually penciled us in for may 2nd.

after we headed to visions off market. im not sure if anyone took pictures. i dont remember the whole night. i just know i had a lot of fun.

i woke up this morning at 7am, in the back of my truck, with a quesadilla next to me. i then went to play football at 9am. it was the hardest time ever playing football hungover. but i managed. ive got another football game in another league at 550pm and its playoffs against the #1 seed.

so get some rest. lets party.

Long Beach Toyota Grand Prix 07

it was my first.

i learned that grand prix races are fun and overwhelming! tv never does the justice as watching in person. willy had an autograph signing for his shoe company, so me and stacks tagged along.

enjoy my photos. more will be up on my flickr later.
(not in order of actual events.)

This was a crazy turn. before the drivers start turning , they downshift from going prolly 100mph. couple of cars almost lost it. one car started to lose it but saved itself and went into the turnout. after this turn they full blast it and it sounds like jet engines.

lunch time we went to rock bottom. willy and the other skaters signed autographs for some kid and his dad bought us 2 sampler beers for making his kids day.

there was this cool bike exhibition. they were called phat bikes or something gay like that.

concept benz

the moz race. suped up lambos and porches.

jeep on 30″s

while willy was signing, me and stacks snuck into the back with our badges.

there was a stunt event on the red bull vert ramp. when you go with willy, you are always VIP. the red bull guys let us sit on top of the truck. i actually took this picture cuz the blonde in the back is gorgeous.

i spy a “W”

they will take over the world some day.

drift racing cars.

the sickest drift car ever.

farewell long beach.

Artsy Fartsy.

i finished my skateboard!

the last time i painted was in design & mixed media in high school. my grandpa was an artist and he used to paint a lot when i was a kid and id watch. i guess painting runs in the family cuz my board looks pretty good.

no sneak peeks, youre gonna have to go to landlord jims tonizzle!

Friday the 13th plans:

1. drop off skateboard at rons
2. go to long beach with willy & posse for the Toyota Grand Prix
3. dinner?
4. landlord jims
5. turn 24

cheers @ midnight folks.

Oh Doctor!

Last night, Kimtan took me and rhoda to his company suite at the padres game. i think for now on, every padres game wont live up to this one.

so along with the box suite, we got free tailgate parking. so we tailgated with co-workers with a little coronas here and straight up JD there.

next to us some guys got caught with a charcoal grill and had to put it out. pretty stupid rule so i took a picture of the tailgate rules:

1. cant drink 30min before gametime
2. no discharging or throwing of any balls
3. no hawking or vending of any goods
4. gas grills only. no charcoal

   

Let me introduce to you the Petco box suite. it was located right behind home plate. i swear it was like a freaken apartment! full kitchen, bathroom and living room! with 2 flat screens.

in the kitchen was a fully catered dinner! there were beers from last nights game so it was first come first serve.

Before the game somebody noticed bobby knight (great college basketball coach known for hitting his players and throwing chairs on the court. guy with white hair) right next to our suite.

These were seriously the best seats ever. you always argue about whos ever had the best seat but seriously this will top ever seat you sat in. we were behind home plate, with free programs, peanuts, food, and better yet, fucking padded rolling office chairs!

not only did bobby knight enjoyed the baseball game next to us, look who else visited coach… Phillip Rivers! you can see phillip talking to bobby knight.

Prolly the most funniest part of the night was when phillip was saying goodbye to coach knight and friends, right when he stood up, kimtan jumped in the air flailing his arms like a crazy monkey and yelling “PHILLIP!!!!!!PHILLIP!!!!!!”. it beats me yelling “DREW BREES!” at best buy when we saw him there years ago.

We were so close that foul balls kept coming our way:

1. the first foul ball that came to us landed a row in front of me and 2 people over. the kid caught it but it jumped out of his hands and bounces twice on the table. my stupid ass just starred at it bounce. by the time i went to reach for it the kid in front of me and his dad had their hands all over it. wasted opportunity #1.
2. the second time a foul ball headed our way, since i was in the aisle seat, i got up and tried to estimate where it was going to land. so the ball was actually headed towards me! i reached with my left and and the ball landed right in it! i literally gripped the ball in my left hand! but then all of a sudden , the spin on the ball was too much for my left hand and jumped out and went inside the suite next to us. if only it was my right hand! i was laughed at. still today, after 23 years of baseball games, ive never caught a ball. this was the closest time though. after all of this, my hand was hurting and it was burning up. it felt like someone slapped the shit out of my hand. wasted opportunity #2.

This is the guy that had a fucking baseball bounce out of my hand and roll to his feet. literally roll to his feet. and to stab me in the heart, he took a picture of himself and my ball.

thanks kimtan for my birthday present! only 2 more days before birthday weekend/week.

get ready.

Wonderful Wednesday.

I woke up bright and early this morning. since we didnt go for our midnight ride last night i felt like going for a little bike ride this morning before i go to work. i took off for Its a Grind to visit Ojay and to get the infamous turkey & cheese crossiant! i guess westview high doesnt start school til like 9 today so Its a Grind was poppin with hot youngins. yes i said it. Imaging the house of blues dance floor but in a freaken coffee shop.

Ojay was a good friend today and the crossiant was on him. no homo. Thank you Ojay for PAYING IT FORWARD.

i chomped outside since there were no bike rack, i had to use ojays car. sorry ojay.

Last night a bunch of us made it to chris’ soccer game last night at the poway sportsplex. afterwards, tk, althea, kj, and i made a visit to walmart.

Believe it or not, queso y ADOBO pringles?? WTF. kj was brave enough to make the purchase. they were actually not that bad! oh yeh, kj is back from taipei.

while waiting for tk on his shopping spree, we chilled next to the forgiving tree.

tk didnt tell us, but he must’ve wrote this note on the forgiving tree. if you dont know the story, back in high school (circa 1997-98) tk found a fuckin axe, yes an axe, in my house and went next door to erwins house and chopped down his tree and i told tk that uncle gil planted that tree and he was going to be fuckin pissed. true story.

MONDAY:
i just have to mention a part of my monday in sequential order:

1. drop of my monitor at the shop and go to quiznoes to buya sandwich and eat it outside of the shop.
2. ask fred for a ride and he skateboards home instead.
3. i finish my sandwich and go north on carmel mountain rd towards mt. carmel, by the 711 intersection.
4. i see fred cross the street perpendicular to my direction
5. i blink
6. i see fred on top of the hood of a fucking truck
7. fred gets off the truck and looks around for his skateboard as im yelling at him if hes alright.
8. i pull over along with the guy that hit him and fred finds his skateboard across the street
9. fred gets his board and skates away into the horizon.

i think it was one of the craziest things ive ever seen. but not as crazy as tj flushing my toilet with his feet in it to overcome frostbite. (true story)

SUNDAY:
spent the day remodeling the workshop. one of the most important changes i wanted within the shop was the shoe wall. and it happened

today i was google-ing american idol, sanjaya malakar because he again looked funny last night. he is in total identity crisis. last night he had a fuckin facial hair. if he wins, get ready for world war III.

but i came across this…

i went on the website and i guess all the girls were voted off except for Mau, the black looking girl above.

Today im going to the PADRES vs. giants game tonight! maddux is pitching tonight! im going to need to clean up my camera phone for tonight!

so have a wonderful wednesday. dont do anything i wouldnt do. ha yeh right.

dominate.

The Friends Forever package was fun.

You thought this trip was just a little bike ride. NO. it was more than a bike ride. it was a workshop of teamwork, soul-searching, and conquering your fears.

A few things ive learned from this bike trip.

1. ohana means family, leave no one behind
2. when you jump rocks, make sure to have a backup rock to jump on in case you under estimate
3. dont wear a wife beater on a cloudy day
4. your bike stance is the same as rock climbing stance
5. soft sand is not your friend
6. when riding down hills, you gotta bomb it full speed or else your chance of falling is greater.
7. when you clip out of your pedals, clip the right foot first
8. when riding steep inclines, you need to sit on your seat so the rear tire catches
9. lunchables are the perfect field trip lunch.

Had a blast at excelsior. i think i got my game back. its time to DOMINATE. cheers to a wonderful evening and to all the people who got me drinks….

Diamondback Sorrento.

i did it. i bought a bike. i said i wouldnt but i did anyways.

i need other ways to get out and exercise. im going to try to ride every morning when i wake up. my quads need a wake up call. as long as i strive for improvement, ill be happy. every time we ride, my legs burn but never hurt in the morning so i guess thats a good thing?

welcome to the family:
DIAMONDBACK SORRENTO 07′

This morning i woke up at 915 and had work at 1030 so i went just for a little ride up my mountain. as you can see, it was overcast this morning but still definately a wonderful view. i put an arrow noting where toe-knees house is. just riding to get to this spot was hard.

Hooters last night was pretty chill. whats better than a bunch of broke ass girls serving you food? the hooters with the best girls would be Las Vegas. that one was the best that ive been to.

tj was either really happy or just likes hula hoops.

Another Callahans wednesday night. i cant get sick of this place for some reason! it it the bluberry wheat beer? the club sandwich? or the awesome service by josie? i just dont know but its awesome. steve was in town for spring break and it came to me what i want for a tat.

So this is steves tat. its a portrait of our province back in the philippines. Our province, Bicol, is know for their Mayon volcano. its known for its perfect shape of a volcano. but back in the late 1800′s or so (im guessing), their used to be this church that rested on the bottom of the volcano. but the volcano erupted and wiped out the whole town and the only thing that survived was the top of the bell tower of the church. when i went back to the PI in 2001 i vidited it and it was crazy. so if you look closely to steves tat, its inked with the tower bells of the church and the volcano in the back. however, just recently, their was a typhoon and covered the whole bell tower, so now it no longer lies visible. i want something just like that but differently illustrated. its hard to think of a tattoo but when its something personal to me, i can do it. thanks steve.

ralph caught another lizard. it was smaller and again he wanted to bring it inside!!!!

we just got in some new nikes just right now. check out what we just got in!

im feeling good today. lets party this weekend! its pre-birthday week.
lets party. you deserve it!

Pay It Forward

I usually forget my own birthday. but its coming up. i keep telling people im 21. i guess i only remember the birthdays that really mean something. after i turned 18, i kept telling people i was 18 until i turned 21. if you didnt know, me and ron have the same birthday.

its 640am on wednesday morning. ive been up doing some work. last night our digital cable connection went out. that means our phone line and internet was out because its all connected. luckily my tv isnt connect to my digital cable so atleast i had tv. but i missed AI.

* for some reason, im listening to cerritos all-stars online right now and they are playing the Wow Wow Wee theme song and it got me in a good mood. i guess i am filipino.

went to the gym yesterday afternoon with ocamps. i had prolly the best 2 workout in 3 months in the past two days.

ways to keep you motivated going to the gym is:

1. do different variations of your workout routine
2. dont playout your workout playlist on your ipod
3. get better headphones to bump your music so you do get distracted (ipod default headphones get distorted fast)
4. go during a time when you know you will see milfs or hot girls but still not so crowded that you can still workout (vice versa for women)(primetime for men: 9-11, 3-5)

tired of doing the same ol’ push ups?

this morning i watched “Pay It Forward”. i havent seen this movie since 2001 when i used to work at Pacific Theatres and get free posters and Pay It Forward was on my wall forever.

if only the world would be a better place. but in order for that to happen, it begins with YOU. pass on your good deeds. go out of the way for people. open the door when you know people are behind you. or even simply, just smile at someone. its also like, what goes around, comes around but in a good way. and if you believe in karma, only good things will come your way. just do yourself a favor and PAY IT FORWARD…

Hey Dude!

I took my sunday and just relaxed. it was a lovely day. Ralph (my cat) loves to catch things outside, bring them inside, let the rodent run around, catch it, let it go, catch it again, then it eat. this time he caught a lizard and his tail broke off and ralph tried to fit the lizard and the tail in his mouth at the same time. it was pretty funny. but one time he brought in a snake. not funny.

ralph wanted me to let him in the house with his lizard friend. the lizard is in front of ralph on the mat in the picture below.

i slept a whoppin 12 hours last night. my body is sore from playing football yesterday at poway high in the 5 on 5 league i play in with some high school friends. after i rode my el moto to headquarters. i dont get to bring my el moto out to play as much nowadays. if you didnt know, ive spent over $3000 on my bike and ive put on all the parts with my bare hands.

this picture is up on www.50ccracing.com. i have like 5 picture of my bike but this isnt what it looks like now.

do you remember when you were a kid and you watched “HEY DUDE!” on nickelodeon? i found 1 youtube clip on youtube and it was only put up 2 weeks ago. i thought about HEY DUDE! from browsing the internet movie database (imdb.com). 4 degrees of separation.

Touch The Rim

Leapfrog your competition with a six-pack of exercises

SEE YOUR ABS The more fat you carry, the more power you need to move it. Our advice: Slim down to get up.

JUMP HIGHER Push back at the hips and lean forward at the shoulders. Then forcefully straighten your hips.

BUILD BIG LEGS Don’t dip your thighs more than 45 degrees from vertical during the countermovement.

You want hops? Master all four phases of jumping: countermovement, propulsion, flight, and landing. “Most men neglect countermovement–the initial downward phase,” says Robert dos Remedios, C.S.C.S. Dip down, lean forward, and use your arms. And give yourself extra lift by performing the workouts below.

Dumbbell Jump Shrug

Stand holding a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grip (palms toward you) in front of your thighs. Dip slightly and shift your weight forward. Keeping your back flat and arms straight, simultaneously thrust your hips forward, shrug your shoulders, and jump straight up. Do four sets of five repetitions.

Stand holding a barbell across the front of your shoulders and bring your elbows forward so your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Initiate the move by pushing your hips back. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Quickly press back up to a standing position. Do six reps in the first set, then subtract one rep and add weight each set. Complete four sets total.

Dip down by bending your hips and knees. Swing your arms back, then up as you jump as high as possible, reaching for a mark on the wall or backboard. Land softly with knees bent, shoulders slightly forward, and butt and hips back. Reset and repeat. Do four sets of eight. Alternate between workouts each time you train your lower body, for more power, greater ups, and softer landings.

Dumbbell Jump Squat

Stand holding a pair of light dumbbells at your sides. Lower your thighs to parallel to the floor, then bend forward slightly at the hips so your shoulders move in front of your feet. Push off the floor explosively to jump as high as possible. Land with your knees soft and sink down into your next squat. Do four sets of five reps.

Holding heavy weights, lift one foot and place it on a bench, then push your body up until your weight-bearing leg is straight and your other foot hangs off the bench. Return to the starting position. Do six reps with each leg, then subtract one rep and add weight each set. Do four sets.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Jump straight up as high as you can and bring your knees toward your chest. Land on the balls of your feet with your knees slightly bent and quickly go into your next jump. Do four sets of eight repetitions.
