Does he really look like my brother?????

I'm currently using this pic as my YM display image and just weird… Yesterday, 2 people (clients actually) asked me if he was my brother. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, happy to know that we look good together. Compatible? Hahahaha! We're B1 and B2!!!

I Missed Blogging…

I had one hell of week…

1. AB Comm buried me with JO's (not that it's too much work but given all my ongoing projects, it's just a lot cuz I have to work during lunch just to catch up with deadlines, when I should be walking around the mall getting some "exercise"…) By the way, I just realized that I've been there for a month now…
2. AMTI's trying to beat their May 30 deadline and that is delivery of materials not just turning over of files! Is that even possible??? Their materials aren't even complete yet and today's what date already???
3. I missed 2 BNI meetings in a row and haven't even registered yet cuz I'm too tired to wake up at 6 to make it to the usual 7am breakfast meet. Brighter side: 2 weeks of no-Chowking breakfast and take-home siopao. Hehe!
4. I wasn't able to do any short weeknight run. Good thing I'm just doing 5K on Sunday.
5. My house is a mess and I don't have any healthy food stocked somewhere

Oh, well… This is the end of my sucker week. The next few are gonna be really worth looking forward to due to the following reasons (woohoo!!):

• Prison Break Season 2 is over. I'm buying DVD tomorrow. Desperate Housewives, Lost and Scrubs are on their season finale. Can't wait for the DVD! I'm not buying a telly (trying hard to be Brit! Ulk!) yet until I finished all those series or else I'd get nothing done.
• 5K run on Sunday and I'm feeling good about it.
• I don't care about the political heat on Monday, there's no work and Happy Feet's goin' wall climbing!!!
• May 17, pm: Christian's coming!!!
• May 18-20: Beach bumming in Galera with  Christian and college friends.
• June1-3: Baguio for Ultimate Facial Care Centre Run, doing 10k
• June 8-12: Visiting Christian for the first time Iloilo
• June 17 & 24: Fun run and fun run!
• June 28-July 2: Christian's coming back for my birthday!
• First week of July: Kuya Happy and his wifey are visiting Philippines for a week before they head off to Jamaica for their honeymoon. (I sooo wanna go with them!)
• July 18-22: Iloilo again!
• Happily training for my first half marathon on September. Gotta stick to my sked this time.
• August 10-13: Christian's here again!!!
  
• August 30-September 2: Iloilo for the Milo Elims
• And a lot, lot more fun to look forward to…

So, bring it on folks!!!! I don't care how much work I have to do because I know that by the end of the week, it's gonna be all play! Weehaa!!! Umm, does anyone want to sponsor me for vitamins? Gonna be needing a lot of energy. Just kidding!

Global City Run

Argh! As I've said before, I have no hope of beating my 1:06. I finished 10k with an embarrassing 01:17:I-don't-care how-many-sec cuz it wouldn't change the fact that I was such a loser. Hahaha! Well, I'm gonna start finding alibis right now:

1.) I only got to do 2 short runs prior to this race after more than a month of absolutely no running.

2.) When Mon told me to go ahead as we approached 5k, I decided to turn to my iPod for company. Unfortunately, after 30 seconds, it died down. Stupid me, I didn't check the battery the night before. I just can't run long distance without music or without anyone  talking to me. Gotta work on that.

3.) The heat was extreme after 5k and it was just 6:30. I think I walked two kilometers while I let the sun burn me up. Really, I wanted to take my shirt and pants off ( I got a new cute pink Nike sports bra anyways. Hahahaha!). Next time I'll wear shorts and my KOTR singlet.

4.) My ankle had this uncomfortable feeling again. It's probably from my shoes. Gotta find a better pair soon.

5.) Umm, I'm just simply out of shape. Haha! 

It was nice finally meeting the other H@ppy Feet Runners– Joms, Chester, RC and Tisha. Hope to see the Brent, Raf and Julita on the next run. And gotta thank Leo for running the route again for me. I was on the verge of walking untiI get to the finish line. Nice to have a moral support when you feel like giving up. Will I ever have a "wing"?

Oooh!!! It feels so good to stretch! 

We’re Happy Together

"I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together…”

Hey, I don't find this cheesy at all. Hehehehe! 

A Sunday of Inspiration

I finally met the other Happy Feet Runners: Ben, Mon and Mon's friend, Leo. Too bad the others weren't able to join us for our first run in Makati. Though my calves still hurt from taking the stairs from 20th to ground floor last Friday, it was nice to run again after almost two months of bumming around (due to injured ankles. Defensive! Hehe!). My ankle didn't bother me much this morning so, I guess I'm quite ok to do the Global City Run next Sunday. I'm doing 10k again but I'm not expecting nor hoping to do a sub-55 (not even sub 1:00) this time. Just gonna run for the fun of it.

Gotta thank Mon and Leo for the inspiration though. Hmm, now I really want to get serious with running. Finishing 20+ full marathons! Just plain WOW! Be my running mentors please! Hehehe! …I've successfully talked Christian into running a 42k with me on September 2 in Iloilo. There should be enough time to prepare for that and hopefully, I could join the Singapore Marathon in December. No more too lazy, can't-drag-my-ass-out-of-bed-in-the-morning mode. I'm running regularly and I got no excuse for myself. I wish Manila would have a fresher supply of air though.
