I love to run!

Today was my 4th 10K for 2011. The first was Hyundai Fun Run (1:18:23), second was Run for Japan (where I took Melvin's slot since he got injured from Baguio 21K (I placed 2nd - 43:38)I really enjoyed the shower provided by the firetrucks, third was Goldilocks Fun Run (1:16:01) and today I finished Run and Help (1:16:23).


Here are some of the reasons why I run:
 1. I run because I have to.
 2. I run because I love it.
 3. I run because I want to be fast.
 4. I run to sweat.
 5. I run to find some quiet time.
 6. I run to eat.
 7. I run for the sunrise.
 8. I run for the race.
 9. I run to relieve stress.
10. I run because it's easy.
11. I run because I'm a runner.
12. I run because it effin' hurts.
13. I run because I gotta keep the streak.
14. I run because it makes me feel good.
15. I know why I run. Tell me why you don't!

iWitness: Killer bus

September 1, 2011

12:30AM

between NIA and Eton Centris, QC

Sakay ako ng bus sampu ng iba pang pasahero ng Joanna Jesh ordinary bus papuntang UE Letre. Kakadaan lang ng konduktor. Ayan nga yung tiket ko.

Mga dalawang dipa na lang ang layo nung "tao" (di ako sigurado kung babae o lalaki) nung nakita ko (palagay ko) pati nung driver na naglalakad sa gitna ng daan (EDSA). 'Di sya tumatawid, sya'y naglalakad sa gitna ng daan (nauuna lang sa amin). Nakakulay light green sya na long sleeves. Mabagal ang lakad, animo'y may malalim na iniisip. Ilang segundo pagkakita ko na tao ang nasa harap ng bus, bumangga na ang harapan nito sa kanya. Palagay ko eh pumailalim sya sa bus dahil bigla na lang sya nawala.

Di man lang bumusina ang driver. Baka nga di nya nakita. O di kaya, nakita nya, huli na. At pagkabangga, parang walang nangyari. Dire-diretso lang ang takbo ng bus. Nagkatinginan kami nung katabi kong babae at nasabi namin na, "mama, tao po yun!". Di nya kami pinansin. Ang ibang pasahero nagtatanong na din, dahil naramdaman nila na may nabangga kami, pero di nila alam kung ano. Kami lang yata nung katabi ko ang nakakita sa buong pangyayari. Tinanong na din nung inspektor yung driver kung anu yun. Ilang beses nya inulit ang tanong bago sumagot ang driver na "tao!"

Pagkarinig nung kundoktor, sinabihan nya ang mga pasahero na lumipat kami sa kabilang bus (nasa Q.Ave na kami) Tinangka kong kunin ang detalye ng bus, pero di ako nagtagumpay. Pinagmamadali nung kundoktor ang mga pasahero na makalipat para makaalis na sila kaagad. Duda ako na babalikan nila ang biktima para tulungan. Malamang tumakas na sila. Nanginginig ako sa takot... nagulantang ako sa nasaksihan ko. Pagkalipat sa kabilang bus, nagdasal na ko. Ipinagdasal ko na may tumulong dun sa taong nasagasaan.

Paulit-ulit bumabalik sa isip ko ang eksena na sumalpok ang bus dun sa tao. Paulit-ulit. Hindi ako mapakali. Nanghihina, natatakot, naaawa, nakukonsensya.

Tumawag ako sa Patrol 117 pagdating ko sa bahay (matagal bago may sumagot at parang nasa bahay lang si ate). Inireport ko ang nangyari. Mabuti na lang at may nauna na nagreport at sinundo na daw ng ambulansya ang biktima. Kung anu ang nangyari sa kanya, hindi ko pa alam. Aabangan ko sya sa balita mamaya.

Sana, nakaligtas sya.

Wala lang!

Wala lang...

Gusto ko lang magsulat ngayon. Parang andaming mga bagay ang tumatakbo sa isip ko ngayon na kelangan ko ilabas dito.

Una, magsisimula na naman ang bagong taon para sa ACN. Saan nga ba ko papunta? Ano na nga ba narating ko makalipas ang isang taon bilang E?

Ikalawa, annulment. Anu na? Hindi ko alam kung saan ako magsisimula. Alam ko na bonggang gastos 'to. Bahala na si Papa God. Sana matulungan ako ni Atty. Omar P. Jay, ngayon pa lang nagpapasalamat na ko. 

Ikatlo, kung may abogado na ko, makikipag-cooperate kaya sya? Sana. Kasi di lang naman 'to para sa akin eh. Hay! Ewan, di ko pa din maimagine na lalapit ako sa kanya anytime soon for this issue(so Help me God).

Ikaapat, Carl is growing up so fast and I admit, it's not easy to be a single mom. I thank God for my family.

Ikalima, mom. Dear Papa God, I pray for good health for mom (and dad). I don't mind the time I spent on the road just to be with them everyday. I love them sooo much!

Ikaanim, underweight. Nabother talaga ko kahapon. Imagine I only weigh 93 lbs now? I was 95 lbs last July and was 100 lbs last year. Omg! What happened? I think it's stress! Supah stress! 

I need to gain weight! (against all odds) or else, nothing! I need to gain weight period.

Ikapito, change is inevitable. I can feel you're drifting away. I'm observant. Oh well, it's alright. I've already prepped myself for this.

Ikawalo, wala lang...

All motion is relative...

To do not advance is to fall back...

Maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

I think I'll try... defying gravity

The Princess and the frog

Dream - 14-Aug

I woke up today from a dream and luckily remembered some parts of it....

Eating sweets -

Sweets - To see or eat sweets in you dream, represent indulgence, sensuality, and forbidden pleasure. Perhaps you have been depriving yourself of some joy or pleasure and the dream is a way for you to reward yourself. Alternatively, the dream symbol is a metaphor for your sweetie or the special someone in your life.

Drinking glass

Glasswares - To see a drinking glass in your dream, signifies healing, rejuvenation, and healing. Alternatively, it indicates a transcendence into a realm of higher consciousness. Is the glass half-full or half-empty? Do you see life from an optimistic or pessimistic point of view. Consider also the contents of the glass. If you are drinking form a glass, then it is a positive omen.
To see a broken glass in your dream, denotes feelings of powerlessness, guilt and/or low self-esteem. Perhaps you feel unqualified or inadequate in dealing with a situation.

Car

Car - To dream that you are driving a car, denotes your ambition, your drive and your ability to navigate from one stage of your life to another. Consider how smooth or rough the car ride is. If you are driving the car, then you are taking an active role in the way your life is going. However, if you are the passenger, then you are taking a passive role. If you are in the backseat of the car, then it indicates that you are putting yourself down and are allowing others to take over. This may be a result of low self-esteem or low self-confidence. Overall, this dream symbol is an indication of your dependence and degree of control you have on your life.

Lush Greens

Green signifies a positive change, good health, growth, fertility, healing, hope, vigor, vitality, peace, and serenity. The appearance of the color may also be a way of telling you to "go ahead". Alternatively, green is a metaphor for a lack of experience in some task.�
To "be green", means that you are environmentally conscious. Green is also symbolic of your strive to gain recognition and establish your independence. Money, wealth and jealousy are often associated with this color.
