- Hello From Hong Kong!
I was so busy chasing after work deadlines and packing for the entire family that I failed to bid you goodbye last night. I am now in Hong Kong thanks to the wonderful people of Planet Sports, especially Anton Gonzales and Bing Buenaventura, who sponsored my trip and registration for the Standard Chartered Hong [...]
- One Fateful Night at Runnr
I was at Runnr last night…and so was he. (he…he…he…)
I yearned to meet him, to look into his brown eyes just to say “Hello, would you stop staring at those shoes and give me even a few seconds of your time?” (time…time…time…)
But, shyness overcame me. (me…me…me)
Then Raymund called him. And, we exchanged a few romantic [...] - Running is Not my Life
Believe it or not, there was a time in my life when the R word was not mentioned at all at home or with friends. The only time we used it was when mommy would RUN errands, or we RAN out of fresh milk, or I wanted to RUN away from nasty clients.

- Squeezing in a Run
No time to spare today. I’ve got design projects, a magazine, a marathon, and a talk tonight to work on. I’ve gone on less than 5 hours of sleep for the past week or so. My face has broken out with acne and my kids refuse to kiss me because they think it’s contagious (perhaps [...]
