- Win a Nike+ SportBand – TBR “Race” Details
TBR is all set to launch the TBR “Race” series, wherein the winner of each race will be awarded with his/her very own Nike+ SportBand (retail price of P3,195). The races will not be actual races (uhm, I don’t have the budget for that), but they will be held on this blog. You must be fit [...]
- Mommy Milkshake Marathon Yr2
“What do you call breastfeeding moms running together? Mommy Milkshake!” Get it? – with my sister (no, we don’t usually wear matching outfits!) – Janice Villanueva, co-owner of Mommy Matters Nursingwear and director of Creative Juice Communications (who also happens to be my sister), heard this joke on the radio a couple of years ago [...]
- My Last Post on Takbo Bayani
Last night, I received a series of senseless comments posted on the two posts I published regarding the Takbo Bayani race. The commenter created fake email addresses such as tbrtbrtbr@yahoo.com or dumbrio@hotmail.com just to send comments which meant absolutely nothing.

- TakBOOOO Bayani
Takbo Bayani is an upcoming race organized by the City of Marikina and the Marikina Sports Commission through Hon. Marides Fernando and Hon. Vic Sabiniano. There are two things terribly wrong about this race: 1) Bayani Fernando’s head superimposed over his clipart physique on the registration form. Que horror! A graphic designer’s worst nightmare… 2) [...]
- Weekend Rush
Thank God it’s Friday! I work from home but I still look forward to weekends as bonding time for the family and, of course, for early morning runs with friends or the hubby. Turns out that this weekend of mine will start out in a Rush. 10 cases of blue Rush, that is. Vince [...]
