This is the name of MBS' choir. It's the first time MBS will join the College of Science Carlofest. No pressure of winning but aiming to get a place. I scheduled a rehearsal with Prof. Michi Martinez, Chairman of Strings Department, College of Music. She gave tips on how to sing the required piece Tuloy na Tuloy Pa rin ang Pasko. It turned out pretty well. ANG GANDA. They're voices blended beautifully. In fairness kaya pala bumuo ng choir ng mbs. Let's go Pilita Corals aim for first!

A day before the Sugar Rush event I planned to buy a pair of rubber shoes. I didn't know rubber shoes were that expensive especially those used for running. There's also a specific shoes for each individual to avoid pain and other forms of injury. Don't hesitate to ask the sales man to check your feet. It's best to get the right shoes for you. In Nike, they have this measuring device wherein you will step on it and the length from heel to toe, length of arch, and width of foot were measured. Here's the result: Left foot Right foot Length heel to toe 9 8.5 Length of arch 9 7 Width of foot A E to D Results show that I have a flat-footed condition and the shoes for me are those that give stability. So he showed me the stability shoes available. Woah, they range from 5-6 thousand pesos! I wanted a second opinion so I went to Adidas. They're measuring device is much advanced compared to Nike. You'll...

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

It'll be my first ever 10k fun run on Sunday. Since it's just a fun run, I courageously signed up for the 10k event. So here's the catch, I've never joined any running event, and I've never ran 10k. The two rounds of acad-oval which is equivalent to 4.4k, is already tiring for me! Ok so what made me decide to join? For the sake of being able to tell myself that I tried to join a 10k run. After all running is a fad nowadays. Have you noticed? Almost every weekend there's a run for a cause in The Fort, MOA or even in UP Diliman. I think more and more Filipinos are becoming health conscious which for me is a good thing. Running after all is the cheapest sport and most accessible for everyone. Here's the official poster of the event, Sugar Rush, a fun run for the benefit of people with diabetes. This event is organized by the UP Pre Medical Honor Society.

It's been 3 weeks since I last did stuff for school. It's finally sinking that I've graduated. I wake up in the morning thinking what to do. I used to tell my mom I won't do anything for two months. I want to have all the time to surf, dive, hang out with friends. Already I feel unproductive. Parang tataba ako ng ganito. So I'm starting to send in resumes to different companies, hopeful that I get a call asap. Nakakabagot din pala ang walang ginagawa. Lumilipas ang oras ng ganun ganun nalang. Hmph ang hirap magdesisyon lalo na pagdating sa buhay. Mas ok pa pala ang mga word problems sa math may mga kasagutan. Pero pag tanong sa buhay, walang eksaktong sagot. Pedeng tama, pedeng mali. Pagmali kelangang remedyohan pede pang masaktan. Hay nakakamiss pala buhay estudyante... Gusto ko na mag Masters.

Baler, Aurora October 27-30, '10 After 5 long months I'm back in Baler! Fresh air. Cheap food. Big waves. Long rides. Good company. Friends. Simple lifestyle. These are all I ask for and what Baler offers. I was with Ayin, Kat, Simon, Lara, Yssa. We boarded the 3am Casiguran Bus trip. By 10am we arrived Baler. We stayed at Surfers' Inn, Kahea. My suki inn. For reservations, contact Ate Ybok or Kuya Edwin at 09208689477. We got their remaining vacant room and just pitched our tent. Our daily routine: wake up 5.30am, heat our cup noodles, eat, apply sun block, then off to surf. By 11am rest, buy rice, cook canned goods, eat, siesta, 3pm off to surf until day light permits. Rinse, dinner at rolling store or at Gerry's, chill drink, sleep. Weeeee! Everything's so simple. Time runs slowly unlike here in Manila where everyone is in a rush. On our first day, I went with Yssa, Kat, Lara and Simon to Mother Falls. It's my third time to go there. I don't recommend goi...
