silence

if this was a pregnant pause, this would have quadruplets. i have none to say. just thoughts simmering in my mind. id like it that way.

zero energy

its been awhile since ive posted back to back days. i dont even remember when. i dont even remember if i ever did. i guess its just you and me this time. finding solace in the monotonous tapping of the keyboard. as monotonous as the footstrikes during a run. in hindsight, i feel that i shouldve ran more today. probably 2 hours more than the 1.5 i already did. that shouldve helped. shouldve helped a lot. that wouldve zapped any ounce of energy i had. zero energy. zero energy to think. zero energy to speak. THAT would have been super.

hello

hello blog. haven't done you in a while. thats about it. just dropped by to say hi, in case you were wondering if i was still around.

Milo Marathon 2010 Manila Elims

This was some sort of a homecoming of sorts. I can barely remember. Was it '02 or '03? But I am sure that my very first run was in a Milo Marathon. I did 10k that time. I also remember I did a sub-60 :oP not bad for a very first run. I should not forget also that I was 25 lbs lighter then. Fast forward to 2010. 21k 2:28. Not bad. Definitely not good.

Adidas Sundown Marathon 2010

For now, these pics will be the content of my post. Still in Singapore, and the lazy bug has bitten me :oP will revise when i get the better copies of my pics. Sooner I hope than later.

a podium is a podium is a podium.

yes, it's some lousy neighborhood run.

yes, competition was lean.

and yes. thats me. podium finish. silver. :0)

on the medal though, it says, 2nd runner up

the breakup

i don't know how to break this to you.

it's been a sweet ride.

first time i saw you,

you instantly caught my eye.

reserved in nature,

with hints of raciness.

your silhouette, your form.

and your name.

i've always loved names with

uncommon letters like "x" or "q".

in your case, you had a "z"

i fell in love.

we soon fell into a deep relationship.

i wont say you were with me all the time,

but you were there when i needed you.

those cold mornings.

those equally tiresome nights

in up, around the fort.

sometimes we'd fool around makati.

you were my first time.

you were with me the whole time before that.

and when we finally did it,

you took me every step of the way.

you never gave up, and neither did i.

but recently i've noticed, that,

you're starting to give me a bad fit.

i think you've outgrown me.

you feel a little bigger than before.

i've tried to remedy that.

i've looked for solutions that would help.

things would be ok for a while,

then it would be worse than it was before.

now, its just really painful.

whenever you hurt me,

i just imagine the pain is not there.

you know this will really hurt me,

as much as it will hurt you.

but i think that we should move on.

i can never get rid of you,

but i don't think we can have

the relationship we had before.

expect that we may spend less

time together. sorry.

we had the best times together,

but we should always do,

what you and i are supposed to do.

what were designed to do.

go forward.
