The Life and Times of Chris B.

A noisy-introvert guy from Las Piñas who dreams of someday winning the lottery, twice. Firmly believes that he has ADHD because he lacks focus in life. Basically, this blog is a run through of my daily happenings and some random thoughts on life.

I'm in a relationship with the barbell and I am keeping it close 😋 #puns #crossfit #irondencrossfit #weightifting #snatch #affiliatealliance #fittestteams2019 #wod3 #vermosa #reeboknano8 #wheylco (at Vermosa Sports Hub) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EGSywnYbk/?igshid=t55yqv34m6gd

Snatch. Leading to yesterday's competition, this movement is what I've been most scared and concerned with. Until 2 Saturday's ago, 135lbs has been my PR for the said movement; and, I am expected to lift that for as many reps as possible during the workout?!?! Obviously, I did what must be done which is practice, practice and practice. Added 10lbs to my PR. And coming in yesterday, I had a better mindset because I know I came preapred. Out of 7 lift attempts, I was able to lift 4. On all those successful lifts I would look like what the photos will show (see attached). 😋 My take away with this, I have this aggitated look when lifting. Jk. Definitely, hardwork is key. P.S. I always wanted this kind of pic.

Architecture appreciation post. This was one of the residential projects I was handling on my previous company, ATA+C. I was the Project Architect handling it during Schematics, Contract Documents and up until Construction Stage. I wasn't able to see its completion coz I had to move on to my current company but I'm glad that I get to see the actual completed pics uploaded on our company's fb page. Can't help but recall the times I was doing the sketchup model, drawing up the technical drawing details, coordinating with Structural and MEPFS consultants, facilitating the bidding process, getting proposal from suppliers and attending the weekly construction coordination meetings. Looks like nothing much was changed from the outside. 😊 #architecture #design #construction #ilovemyjob #amazingarchitecture https://www.instagram.com/p/B2qOYscBgmt/?igshid=1cfj2mb9d92wo

Fun times. I always love doing team WODs bcoz not only is it testing your strength as an individual but also testing your ability to adapt to situation involving not only yourself but with people you ought to trust. After that, you feel a special bond with those people. Since team competition qualifiers are ongoing this year, I can't help but reminisce my experience with it last year. I had an amazing time with you guys @benet.manuel & @jessiejoaquin! 😙😙😙 #tbt #latepost #photodump #The3FicBenTianIca #fittestteams2018 #irondencrossfit #affiliatealliance #backwhenIwasinconditiontocompete #dipanaburnout https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UAOVsBIpY/?igshid=ck58xi79jln7

Literally woke up to a surpirse. My Mom remembered that as a child, Sailormoon was my favorite, so she asked my cousin bake a cake and have it brought by my Tita and Lola. I love my Mom for always being understanding and supportive of all my choices, except my college course (she really wanted mo to take up Arki lol). Nevertheless, I could not ask for more ❤❤❤ P.S. I came out to her when I was 21 #29thbirthday #happypridemonth #independenceday (at Las Piñas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byl6WY7BINR/?igshid=jkd11pxcbixn

1st year anniversary at Aseana. Luckily, it coincided with the ground breaking of our upcoming mixed-used facility so it felt like a double celebration. And yes, food were served.#blessed #anniversarypost #groundbreakingceremony #inserthardhatandpala (at Aseana City) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuqYsbkALsc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iw24ychhpmz8

15 Days Left. Our team, The 3-Fic BenTianIca, will be competing at @affiliatealliance's The Fittest Teams 2018 two weeks from now. There's a lot of preparation for the said event. Also, we still have to practice our poses so that we'll have awesome pics taken from the event (similar to what is shown here 😋). #fittestteams2018 #affiliatealliance #crossfit #irondencrossfit #irondensamurais #jeprespondephotgraphy (at Iron Den CrossFit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpq84xrhsa1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15yrniazg5ocf

Intermediate. Madalas pad paper minsan level ng swimmer. Our swimming coach, @mikeadvincoolako, announced earlier that we are the latter (just after 3 sessions with him!). I still can't believe it, that is why I am just grateful to him and coaches @rarararaissa & @felixxxe for all the swimming demos and pointers. I know there are still a lot to improve but I am willing to put on the work. Looking forward to the lengthwise and crosswise. ☺ #roadtofittestteams2018 #irondensamurais #The3FicBenTianIca #affiliatealliance #swimming #crossfit #irondencrossfit (at Vermosa Sports Hub) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo62hGwACbQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rh550a79pzpt

Die a little and come back stronger. I won't lie, not being able to qualifiy last year for the Fittest Teams was upsetting. I thought I was ready to join my first ever competition. That experience made me work harder to be a better athlete in this sport. I tried attending WOD classes 4-6 times a week (sometimes doing 2 WODs a day if capable). I did the Hatch Squat Cycle. Attend specialty classes like Barbell Bullies and Gymnastics. Did the training program for competing athletes, Bushido Creed. All of these made me aware of my weaknesses that I need to work on and strengths that I can develop further. Also, I was able qualify for this year's Fittest Teams Competition. In hindsight, I can say I was not really ready to join last year. This year, a part of me feels I am still not ready but mostly I am ready and excited to train with the rest of my teammates @benet.manuel & @jessiejoaquin.Together we are the The 3-Fic BenTianIca 😊 #crossfit #irondencrossfit #fittestteams2018 #qualifiers #affiliatealliance #wod2 #annie #jackie #fran #qualified (at Iron Den CrossFit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn0uqaZAALp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cjbesxluqf8o

You never forget your first time. Sixteen months into doing CrossFit, I competed on my first ever competition along with other athletes hailing from different parts of the country last Saturday. It was by far, the most strenuous physical activity I did but I was glad to overcome them and exceed my expectations on some of the WODs (setting a PR on my Power Snatch and Hang Snatch). Of course, I know there are some weaknesses and skills that I still need to work on (gymastics and weightlifting as well) but I will be gladly doing them because I would really like to come back stronger. I am just inspired by being with other strong competitors that I know put in a lot of hardwork to reach the level they are right now. I never expected that the all out support from my coaches and co-athletes from @irondencrossfit would mean a lot especially during those times while waiting for the next event. Thankful to everyone who made @affiliatealliance's The Fittest 2018 possible and a meaningful event for a newbie like me. #crossfit #community #irondencrossfit #affiliatealliance #thefittest2018 #communityovercompetition (at The Manila Hotel)

Happy Mother's Day to the most special woman I know! She is such a fitspiration to me because she was able to turn her health around while working abroad. She inspired me to take care of myself through diet and exercise. I just hope I could still be as healthy and fabulous on my 50's like you do. Love you Ma! 😘 #mothersday #mamasboy

Remember why you started. Exactly fifteen months ago, also a Friday the 13th, I tried doing Crossfit for the first time. Being out of shape, I never get to do the WOD coz I was nauseous just after the warm-up. But I came back for the next weeks that turned into months because I liked the struggle that made me better afterwards. Currently, I'm struggling with the training and feeling the pressure for my first ever competition (for my first ever sport) which will be a month from now; but I keep on reminding to myself that it'll all be worth it. P.S. I just love it when some of my fellow athletes who saw me that night say they tought I would never come back after my first time and that I proved them wrong. 😋 #crossfit #irondencrossfit #affiliatealliance #improvement #thestruggleisreal #fifteenthmonthsary #throwback #positive (at Iron Den CrossFit)
