- Boo to Basyang
Boo to you Basyang for wreaking havoc in Metro Manila and other provinces. Boo to you for causing some deaths and injuries, sweeping a crane off of the skyway creating hellish traffic on South Super Highway, and worst of all, creating problems with Meralco’s electricity thereby leading us to lose wifi access for over a [...]
- Oatmeal Freak
I used to loathe oatmeal. My mom would make my sister and I eat this for breakfast before school. Before I even picked up the spoon, I would feel like throwing up. I never ate oatmeal again…until I got married. Hubby introduced Quakers Old-Fashioned oatmeal into my life. (No, this is not a paid advertisement!) [...]
- Old Friends
Guess who we bumped into at Bonifacio High Street after a quick, exhausting and completely fulfilling hill training session with Jun: Coach Rio and good ol’ friend, Philip Le Roux (Foreign Runner). Philip was an active runner and blogger a couple of years ago. We would see each other often in races and occasionally at [...]
- Robinsons Fit & Fun Wellness Run Here We Come!
If there’s one race hubby and I never fail to join together, it would be the Robinsons Supermarket Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run. It’s the only race that’s consistently been staged for the past three years that allows us to partner together and run the race as one. It’s always been relatively small and [...]
- TIPS ON RUNNING RACES SAFELY FROM THE EXPERTS
During last Sunday’s 34th Milo Marathon, a young male runner gunning for his 21km PR, collapsed 1km away from the finish line and was rushed to the hospital. Sadly, he passed away yesterday. I haven’t stopped thinking about him since I heard the news. I’ve collapsed once when I had just started running, and so [...]
- F’s Rule!
Ricky G. posted this earlier today: Just saw the race results today…you’re the only flower among a group of thorn 21K finishers! and 12th place at that. Kudos jaymie! Nonchalantly, I browsed through the official results to confirm 12th place. Upon seeing the results, I was tickled pink. Ricky was right. I was the only [...]

- Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2010: Shoulda Woulda Coulda
Did we miss the race? That was the sole question on my mind as hubby and I stepped out of our taxi onto the empty street of the assembly area, Dataran Merdaka, on the drizzly morning of June 27, 2010. Race start was 6:15 a.m. and we arrived 5:30 a.m. In Manila, the starting area [...]
