Posted in Children | 2 comments
Today is the last day of the last periodical exams for the school year. The full implications of that haven’t totally hit me yet, though I already feel like jumping and dancing for joy. If your kids study in a science school with a grade cut-off of 85, you would totally get why I’m rejoining. [...]
Not so perfect running form
Running specialty store RUNNR opened a second branch last Saturday at Ayala Center in Cebu, and I was one of the many enthusiasts of the sport who checked the establishment out and tried its foot-type and gait analysis system called Footworx. RUNNR offers to customers for free its foot-type and gait analysis system called Footworx. [...]

I dislike the rain because it results in wet and muddy roads, and I especially hate it if my tasks involve going out the front door when it’s pouring. But our Sunday long run under a downpour was exhilarating and, I have to admit, a little hardcore. The weather was fine when Max and I [...]
Trick or treating at SM City Cebu

It wasn’t what my kid Lennon, 6, imagined it to be. Somehow, he couldn’t associate the trick or treating that he expected with the reality that he was experiencing. It finally became too much walking from one shop to another and falling in long lines with other kids for 1 piece of candy, leaving stores [...]

My Saturdays are longer than 24 hours, and start at past 10 p.m. on Fridays when, done with work, my husband and I scout for new places to hang out in or go directly to old favorites. Or if I finish ahead of him, I go out with drink-starved friends and see how long I [...]

It doesn’t matter that they gave out awards only to the top 5 finishers or that perennial race winners were not allowed to join, I’m still happy I made it to 10th place in the 5k women’s category of the 1st Cebu Diamond Lions Club fun run held earlier today. Sunday’s run was my fifth [...]
Starting fresh

I just told my husband to erase about three years worth of posts from my blog because I wanted to start writing again. Said that way, it doesn’t make a lot of sense, I know. It’s just that my last entry here was such a long time ago, there seems to be no way of [...]
