boom! head shot!

ouch!

ouch!!

ouch!!!

i've got me three bruises just like that

one on my arm

one on my shoulder

one on my thigh (picture above)

what happened?

went to play paintball on saturday at 147

we played a total of 5 games

i did pretty good

i eliminated a few out there

in fact, i didn't get eliminated

the reason i got hit was because i ran out of ammo (paintballs)

since i ran out i surrendered

i raised my gun high up in the air for quite a long time behind my barricade so people knew i was surrendering

i thought it was safe since it seemed they stopped shooting at my barricade

so i walked out to get out of the battle field

wrong move!

these fools just started shooting at me even though i still had my gun raised in the air

bastards!

but then again, i did shoot at a guy out of reflex when he was walking off the field with his gun raised in the air earlier at another game

no seriously, it wasn't intentional

it was just a reflex

but still, those that shot at me when i was walking off...

you jerks!






bbq for lunch and taking a break from the war games

beach, in-laws & clover

another sunday

another bad hangover

i really need to slow down and cut back

i'm really having a hard time recovering these days

wifey ain't too happy with me right now

let's recap

yesterday around 2pm

wifey and i packed our gear and headed out to baishawan ("white sand bay")

a very nice and relaxing beach which isn't too far (just over an hour drive from our place) and not too packed

a short video i shot from the hill overlooking the bay



now, some pics...




view of the beach from the hill




taiwanese baywatch




some military base


a couple jet-skis and some guy fishing


a fishing boat and one of the many cargo liners in the horizon


a sailboat




wifey

after a couple hours of relaxing and fun in the sun, we had to go

had to go back to my in-law's place for dinner to celebrate father's day for my pop-in-law

my bro-in-law justin bought a 5 liter keg of dark beer from le ble d'or

both my bro-in-law don't drink much and my father-in-law only drinks hard these days

so, needless to say, i drank most of that keg myself

so, needless to say, i had a pretty good buzz going on after dinner

later on the night...

we went over to clover bar / cafe to meet with the usual suspects

becky, candy, jerry and victor

this time tho', there were a couple new people

patty from the usa and luke from the uk

a very cool world trekking married couple, whom are leaving taiwan soon

good luck in honduras guys


me, patty & luke

by the way, luke and hedo turkoglu of the nba were separated at birth

what do you think?

you be the judge...


"luke turkoglu"

so, needless to say, i had a few more drinks at clover

so, needless to say, it was one too many as usual

so, here i am

my breath still tastes like beer

just woke up over an hour ago

feeling like shit

haven't eaten all day

hungry as a motherfucker

but ain't got no appetite

i really wanted to get out to baishawan again today

but just felt like shit
