May 02-03, 2011 (Monday-Tuesday)
Enchanted Kingdom, Splash Island

Here are some of the highlights of our Laguna Trip. 

DAY 1: HOTEL and EK

Cousins (w/o Carlo) at the Hotel. 

We're all ready to defy those breath-taking rides! 

Tried Kart Trak (Go Kart) of E.K. 

Excited to drift that kart on the track. Bagay ba? :)

The epic ride, SPACE SHUTTLE!!!

 

Ecstatic "Bye-Bye"! See you next time. 

DAY 2: Splash Island 

Bakit ung iba hindi nababasa after ng slide, pero bakit kami ni Cheska nabasa? 

Okay mabigat kasi siya. :)

BREAK TIME. Sobrang napagod hindi sa ride, kundi sa pagpunta sa ibat-ibang ride. 

Sobrang busogsogsogsog. 

Mama's so sweet. Oh mukang ayaw lang

makitang mataba siya. :)

NEGROS AND NEGRAS.

'Til next time Laguna! Good bye!

Happy First Year Running Anniversary!

Happy 1st Anniversary to me! I’m now officially a pro, 'di na ako newbie sa marathons.

One year had past and still I’m really into it. Parang drugs pala, na once you started it, it’s so hard to quit. And of course, I had no plans of quitting in running naman so it's not a problem getting addicted to it. It already became an element to me. Kumbaga sa dinuguan, ito ang puto ko. Kumbaga sa liver, ito ang dugo ko. At kumbaga sa inbox, ito ang text mo. Aysooos. Basta, running became a part of me na. Most of my classmates told me nga na, “Ano ba Justin, takbo ka na lang nang takbo”. And I always keep on telling them na running is really fun, that's why I keep on running and joining marathons. They haven't tried it pa kasi, kaya they really can’t tell what’s the real deal here. Sa totoo lang, sobrang ibang klaseng feeling kasi ang nararamdaman ko when I finished a race. Para ka na ring tumama ng jueteng. Basta kakaiba ang feeling. Sobrang fulfillment.

This picture was taken last March 14, 2010 @ Unilab Run for Wellness 1 2010, a RunRio organized event last year, part of the RunRio Marathon Trilogy. This was my first marathon event, and I joined the 10K. At first, I was so nervous kasi nga baka di ko matapos ang 10K. But I did it. I was timed at 1hr:8min:32sec. Nice PR (personal record) for a newbie, huh? But most of all, the best thing here was I continuously run until I reached the finish line, not stopping at all. Kahit sa mga water stations, every time I got water/ gatorade, I always jog pa rin. I never stop talaga, and that’s the spirit!

Happy running!
