It was my wife’s bday yesterday and I wasn’t able to give anything to her. Being busy is a lousy excuse, plus I really couldn’t think of anything to give to her given that she’s not into gadgets,makeups,shoes,bags,clothes, furnitures, appliances (thank God I have such wife!) and what have you. And so for today, I decided to do something for her by doing some home maintenance (hihihihihi!). I decided to wipe the entire floor area (120sq meter of it!), 2 rooms,helper’s room (we don’t have a helper as of the moment), living room,kitchen,dining area, hall. I also tried my hand to one problem my wife have been bugging me for 3 weeks. The leaking shower head. You know that scene in scary movies wherein everything is silent and all you could hear is a small, consistent droplets of water? Creepy yeah? It doesn’t disturb me but my wife is freaking out of it hahahahaha! We couldn’t find a tubero so I decided to fix it myself. Applying some methodology to identify the root-cause of the problem, I looked first at the shower-head. I then dismantled it like as if I know what I was doing, I noticed that small circle black rubber is already loose. I replaced it with new one and placed it back, turned the main water supply on and it was still leaking. Turned off the main water supply, removed the entire shower head such that the main

Oh hai I’m back. I was just checking all my blog entries, and I must admit this blog started to look like the rest of the running blogs that suddenly popped up..it looks like a marketing tool for race organizers*laughs*. Seriously, not that its bad, but cmon, I started this blog to release my thoughts, rants and say whatever I want to say but alas, busyness from work, business and family matters took its toll on me that I only update this blog to copy and paste press materials for free race kit. God.Damn.It. Not that I cannot afford them, but cmon free is free! I see some blogs out there really exist just to promote races. I’m not going that direction, I believe there are running portals out there that does the job well (e.g takbo.ph, runswimbike.ph,pinoyfitness.com). So starting today, expect some mental masturbation every now and then from this blog! Har har har!! So whats new with me? Well I’ve only been running once a week. I grew ridiculously fat, heavy and I feel like my fitness level went back to zero. I think I’m now 162lbs (was 145lbs several months ago!) and its bad. REALLY BAD. Starting next week, I will be serious. I will start blogging not just all about race, but about whats going on with me, thoughts and others. I will go to gym again three times a week, and do chillax run in

Wow this is another PR. PR in terms of writing a blog post on an event held more than 2 weeks ago. Seriously, I’ve been very busy. Trying hard to setup another startup, meeting interesting people pitching in my idea, work and other stuff. I’ve been very busy for more than a month now, that I only got the chance to run during…sunday races If you see me now, you will notice I gained a bit (like 10lbs more). Hahahaha. I won’t be able to tell you more details about this race, I’d rather summarize what I can remember: 1. When running trail runs, especially this race with several obstacles along the route, you’re better off running using trail shoes. I’m actually surprised this was never mentioned during the race briefing, or I’m not listening at all. 2. I realize that when I run alone, all sorts of ideas popped up. I thought of a new business strategy, new hobbies to pursue, setting goals etc. I’m not sure about you, but there must be something about running alone that fires up something in you. 3. The hardest obstacle course in this race was that wall climb in an inclined area of about 20-25 feet high. This is the part I wish I wore a trail shoes, I fell twice because of the slippery condition of the ground. But still, I love this part. 4. 10km since too short, but I

I joined BMAP Fun Run this morning not expecting anything. The last run I did was just an 8km last Wednesday (for the entire week!) and that was it. My plan is to finish this race not more than 1h:10m but not sub 60minutes as I’ve been told that the route is tough with several uphills and with no decent training the past few weeks, I know I’m gonna suck big time. Knowing that the race will be held in Alabang, I woke up around 4:50am. By 5:10am, I was already in my car..yes thats how fast I prepare myself. I was a bit nervous while driving as that road from Emilio Aguinaldo Highway up to the main road going to Daang Hari road was pitch black and driving was more complicated because it was raining that time. I found myself driving all alone in that road and hoping not to see any white lady (I once saw a white lady near Orchard Golf course along Emilio Aguinaldo highway, ok this is for another kwentong barbero). So I was able to drive my way out of that road and the next road is Daang Hari road. This road was scary as well. A portion of the road is flooded and, being me I just traversed that road (in 3rd gear) and I noticed my car slowing down. I thought it was going to be the end of my car (do

 2 days. 2 days after RU2, my legs are still sore especially my calves.  I hope I could do some run starting tomorrow.  The gym is calling me, but my legs just couldn’t go back to my usual groove. You have that feeling when you want to do something but you just can’t because the body won’t cooperate? It sucks dba? And then there’s this some pain that I’ve been complaining for almost a month now near the shin area of my right leg. It feels like there are small nodules of flesh or twitched muscle or something that feels painful when pressed.  I tried to do deept tissue massage on it but it didn’t help at all. Tomorrow I shall try to visit St. Lukes to have an appointment with my ortho, wish me luck
