The Milo Kid in Me

Yeah.... who would not admit that Pinoys like this energy drink Milo. I remember completely during my childhood days when each morning before school, Milo is always a breakfast companion. 


Today, 33 years after, Milo is still a part of me. And come September 05, 2010, Nikia and I will challenge myself to run 21 kilometers - my first half-marathon. Exciting huh?!?

by the way

by the way, these are the reasons why i wasn't able to ran after crossing the  3 bridges...

me with Tisay (Crocodile Farm)

me at Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm

me with the Looney Tunes characters (Bakers' Hill)

me with Snow White and the seven Dwarfs

me at the viewdeck - my comrades were scared of me being on the ledge

(and the deep ravine behind me! hehe!)

Yes! I was at the Philippines' Last Frontier...

lovely beach on the way to the Underground River

 

want to try beach running but I was so tired 

with the fish feeding...(Snake Island)

Yeah, yeah! I was there. And got the trip at very cheap budget. If you plan to go there sometime in the future, please let me know and I can help you find a cheap budget for your tour. Tour includa Puerto Princesa City Tour (Croc Farm, Iwahig Prison, Baker's Hill & Mitra Ranch), Underground River, Honda Bay and Island Hop (Snake Island, Starfish Island & Pandan Island)...

*All pics were taken by Mikaela. Sorry Nikia, I know you were jealous this time.

Grand Eyeball (sort of) at the Energizer Nite Race

It was a night full of excitement as around 2,500 runners converged last night to participate in the Energizer Nite Race Cebu. Everyone were amazed by the free headlamps (which actually cost more than the registration free) and were also starstruck (kuno!) with the Kapuso stars. But the real score actually was the runners were already impatient to run -- the race started a little late.

Anyway, last night's experience was more of a "gathering" -- a get-to-know-each-other meeting -- an "oh finally!  we've met!" thingy -- a Grand Eyeball of Runners!

Ungo Runners led by Max Limpag and wifey Marlen to ARC led by Jack Morilla and Weng Asis and BRC led by El Presidente Mujacko... Yes! I've met this people already but I had blast knowing I will finally meet other dailymilers.

First stop: Doc Kingking Perez and her S.O. Adrian. Then at the holding area, I saw some familiar faces... my own pack -- Accenture Runners Club led by Jerry, Jack, Leo Ironman Mitch, Marathon Man turned coach KirkBoying, Victor (Robin Padilla's long lost brother), Richell Comabig, fellow Sillimanian Adam, Kuya Jay and lady runners Sheena, Weng and Aijeigh. Richell's S.O. Irish was the  instant photographer after running -- thanx for taking our group photo. Aijeigh's Rafa took the shot below. Sorry I know there are other ARC members but I wasn't able to get all their names. 

The crazy dudes (BRC) were there too:  Ken, Richelieu and Richard. I also met Doc Israel and I instantly envied his Garmin 405. Cool!

I saw other familiar faces at the holding area and I know most of them are Ungo Runners.  Some new friends were their too -- Manny Camacho who paced with me on the first 2K and Doc Ling Abella who paced with me on the second lap till the finish line.  After the race, Doc Kingking introduced me to fellow dailymiler Agatha and I also got to see again the running lovers Popoy and Tine.  Sayang wa jud ta naka-photo ops.

The experiences that I won’t forget include running + talking about other things than running (Doc Ling was practically preaching about World Cup + Oranje!), Victor’s first 10K, Nikia's first nite race, meeting fellow DMs, seeing running celebs Doc Yong and Donna Cruz (again!), seeing Simon Losiaboi kissing Katrina Halili on the cheek which I think was funny (haha!), seeing Kapuso celebs and finally running as a Kapuso (haha!), the Grand Eyeball (sort of!) among others.

The race was well-organized except for some bloopers but the overall experience was great!

I will post some photos soon…

Angst!

Please see the postcard I made for ARC.

And I took the liberty in reposting the images of the Energizer Nite Race Routes for 3K, 5K, and 10K races. These routes were double-checked and were changed (possibly for safety purposes). Thanx Doc Ling for these...

See you at the race!

Runner with a Heart - Let's Support Maple Tree Foundation

You see, there are some runners who really run for a cause. I once mentioned before that I will only run those races with the purpose of helping those in need. So goes the Run for Sight, Run for Bebe, Heart's Run and so on and so forth... all of these race I missed. I even missed the race for Cancer Awareness last year... I opted to let my Kumpare Boying run for my mom who passed away due to CA.

But I did ran for a cause! The latest was the Kapamilya Run 2010. And even if I am a certified Kapuso, I joined this race because it was for a cause. 

Speaking of runners with pledges, I can see their motive... their purpose... their commitment... not just for running for also for helping.

Let me highlight a fellow Dailymiler Kassy Pajarillo. I read her blog and was kinda envy that she joined Jaymie Pizarro's TBR Dream Marathon. But I was more focused on her pledge to help the needy. I can see that she a runner with a heart. And I would like to support her cause in whatever way I can. And if I have some resources, it won't harm to pitch in some for her cause....

Here's a repost from her blog: Flexitarian Runaholic Diary

My Pledge: Dear Friends…

On 5 December 2010, I will be running a FULL MARATHON (42.2 km) in the Standard Chartered Marathon – Singapore in order to raise money for the Maple Tree Foundation. Although it will be a challenge for me to complete my first destination marathon race, I will be especially motivated by the excitement of knowing that it will benefit such a worthy cause.

I am asking friends and family to consider sponsoring me for this event. I have two ambitious goals – first to complete the marathon without sustaining any bodily harm and second to meet my personal goal of raising Php 10,000 – Php 100,000 for the Maple Tree Foundation (100%). I would greatly appreciate your kind consideration by making a donation towards this goal. All other form of donations (sponsorship) is, of course, well appreciated.

Being a runner, I wanted to take the opportunity to help my fellow citizen as this is one of my life goals- to help those who are in need. I believe in Maple Tree Foundation vision which is to help deprived and underserved mountain communities live healthy, productive, and peaceful lives with sustainable resource development programs that provide basic services, livelihood development, and education. For this, they need not to stay as less privilege citizen around Manila believing it will make their lives easier, well in fact, in their home town they can live comfortably and be educated.

You can make a difference . . . please join me in supporting a very important cause. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Kassy

To Kassy,

Good luck in your quest for the Standard Chartered Marathon! Good luck in your cause!
