ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IS HERE!!

Aside from making 2012 my activity year. I made it my fitness year as well.

Decided to join a 5k fun run without hesitation. Guess why?...Zombies will be on the loose to chase us as we run the course. Who can't say no to that?!?! :)

Outbreak Manila is the first Zombie run in the Philippines. The run was organized in Nuvali in Laguna, an area that's being developed into a commercial area for residence around the area. Runners will be provided with a belt with flags that are attached to it. The flags on the belts will represent the runner's lives the zombies objective is to get all your lives before reaching the finish line. The runners of course will try to avoid losing their flags. Runner's aren't suppose to touch the zombies.
we have 300 runners

I saw some of my friends as i was about to finish the run. I realized that I wouldn't survive the run because my friends helped me until i got to the finish line  and because of them....






......hehehehe

I got myself a bike!!

Always wanted to get a bike. I have dreams of finishing a triathlon and just going around on a bike. I guess when you're single you definitely think only of yourself and now look what I have :)

My baby's name is Kate


Wow I can't help but stare at my baby. Ain't she a beauty?!? :) ......... oh yeah I almost forgot I'm suppose to be writing a blog. Anyway, I'm so happy i finally decided to get one. The very next day I got the bike, I went to Subic (Subic used to be occupied by the Americans as one of their bases in asia) to check how it moves. Definitely one purchase I'm never going to regret. It was perfect, I could go around Subic the whole day if I wanted to. It just felt right as i was going around the beautifully paved road of the airbase. The ride was smooth, the seat was comfortable and best of all it looks good (yes that's the girl in me talking) That day was wonderful not only did i get to check my bike. I went biking with my aunt and cousin we had a good time in Subic that weekend. Not only that there was a triathlon at that day. Premonition or what? :)

Several weeks before I got my bike during the Holy Week break, my aunt invited me to bike (using an extra bike) around for Visita Iglesia. In the Philippines during the Holy week break Manila is literally a ghost town, most of the people are out of town. Visita Iglesia is a Holy Week practice of going around several (8-10) churches to pay respect to the Blessed Sacrament. It's a practice done by Catholics. It was a first for me. I enjoyed it because i went around on a bike and it was just wonderful going around Manila without the noisy and reckless drivers. One of the reasons i decided it was time to get a bike of my own.

Sunset in the Philippines always this beautiful


That too was my first time to spend the holy week in Manila. It was a peaceful holy week. Though i wasn't in the beach this beautiful sunset ended my day.
