My First Official Run – Century Superbods 2010

For race results, please go to the Century Superbods Run website It feels ecstatically great to finish my first race! And when I found out my run time, I thought, not bad at all. I was up at 4:15am to be sure to arrive at Bonifacio Global City by 5am on a Sunday. It’s insanely early, even for a morning person. Plus, Sundays are for waking up slow. But there I was at BGC at about 5am on a Sunday – me, and 9000+ other people. It’s quite amazing to see the number of people who came to be part of the Century Superbods run. I know that a lot of people have chosen to put on those running shoes...

Google Buzz: How to keep your contacts private

Do you love Google? I do. Gmail, Google Cal, Google Reader, Analytics, Trends, Maps, Blogger, Documents, Search, Wave… I use them all. You can say that Google owns a big chunk of my online life (and probably a big of yours too). So when Google Buzz came out, the little Google freak in me clapped in glee. But I guess not everyone shared the same enthusiasm. Earlier today, we had lunch with our bosses and they started to rant about this new feature. According to them, it impinges on their privacy. The fact that others can view who you are following and who are following you can be quite…....

I ran last year and it felt good. I decided, heck, I’ll run some more.

I think there is a new epidemic spreading among Metro Manila denizens… Running Fever. I’ve got more and more friends and family getting into their running shoes and working those strides for all sorts of reasons : to lose weight, to maintain their weight, to build endurance, to start a healthy lifestyle etc. The bottom line is, they’re runnin’. Its gotten me running too. I remember my first – the Ateneo Fun Run July last year. I got up at 5am to make sure I’m at starting line before 6am. When I arrived at Ateneo, I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of people...

Yes. An hour hanging out with these dudes would’ve been totally awesome. Too bad my one hour with them was spent as a random blogger in the audience of press people. Oh a girl can dream.

20+ mind-blowing social media statistics

I can’t help but blog about these really interesting statics that I found while doing some research on the current state of online media. Its quite mind blowing as to what the internet is becoming, particularly social media. Not only has the online worl changed the way information is shared, even the dynamics of relationships have evolved. It continues to evolve. There is a lot of opportunity out there for everyone if you can study and learn how to use the available tools online for your benefit. Before you get blown away by the statistics, please do take these with a grain of salt. I got...

The Killers Concert…Cancelled? Yes, cancelled.

And Carlos says, “Kawawa naman yung mga bumili ng tickets sa Killer’s concert. Na-cancel.” (Too bad for those who bought tickets to The Killer’s concert. Its cancelled.” WHAT? I haven’t bought my ticket but I’ve been looking forward to watching their concert. The rumored reason? The Killers disbanded. Now that.. I’m not quite sure of. Saw this picture on Live Nation Asia’s facebook fanpage. Those that got tickets are going to be pissed for sure. Those that haven’t are definitely going to be disappointed (like me)… if this is indeed...

Doggie clothes shopping turns into hinting about babies…

“I’ll buy baby clothes for the first one who’ll have a baby.” Then she looks at me sternly, “But you have to married!” I looked at my mom and I wasn’t quite sure what to make out of that statement. Last Sunday, I was with my Mom and my little sister, Sammy. We were at the mall to buy leggings and a pair of “bakya’s” for my little sister. For some reason, we ended up in the baby clothes section. Being the girls that we are, we got amused and started browsing. We thought of buying some of these for our little crazy dogs – Wolfie the...

It was a Good One

Its not everyday that I feel awesome despite the eight hours plus that I’ve been working. Today was one of those few great days where things just feel like they are falling into place little by little… like random puzzle pieces forming the picture that I envision – my goals, dreams and aspirations. There are days when I wonder if I’ll ever get there. There are days like today that make me feel, yes, it can happen and that, yes, I can make it happen. There was nothing extra spectacular about todays events. They were basically the same things that I do – work tasks,...

Goodbye 2009 and My Thank You’s

Its 2:00 am 4th Jan 2010. In a few hours, the world will start beating its busy pulse. Its back to work and back to school. Yes, the festivities of Christmas and New Year are now over. It’s been a good two weeks. But before the wheels of 2010 start to turn and accelerate, I want to make my own personal adieu to 2009. Goodbye 2009.  It’s definitely been a crazy ride. I still can’t believe how much happened within the 12 months that have passed and also the changes and surprises that happened along the way. The odd events around me, travels, the changes in career, the new people whom I met...

Lucky to be safe. Lucky to be alive

This is lieu of the Serendra car explosion that happened the other day in front of Fullybooked. To put it simply, I missed two explosions here in the city, twice. In these two instances, I could’ve been at the blast sight during the time of the explosion and  could’ve gotten hurt. Or worse..killed. All because of simple decisions such as when to eat, I avoided being in the danger zone. Lucky instance #1 The first one was the Glorietta 2, explosion back in 19 October 2007. I was in Makati with my friend April. About 15 mins before the blast, she asked if I wanted to go for lunch already....
