Stop and Stare

OneRepublic - Stop And Stare

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need
What u need, what u need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do u see what I see...

Not bad for a first timer di ba? :)

King of the Road

Matagal ko ng gustong sumali sa mga fun run. I'm not sure if it is the lack of time or the lack of encouragement but I was able to finally sign-up to a 5K run for Adidas King of the Road.

I woke up very early kanina and found myself at the Quirino Grandstand at 5 in the morning. Although kulang sa training, tulog at hindi pa nakakarecover from a tiring volleyball finals, I was able to complete the 5K run in more or less 35 minutes. Not sure if this is a good time but I am satisfied. Mas marami kayang nahuli sa akin. :P Kahit in the middle of the race sumasakit na yung tagiliran ko at mga legs ko tuloy pa rin ako sa pagkatakbo. Sa next running event I will definitely go for 10K. This will be a yearly thing for me.

Bago

Shucks! Tagal ko na rin palang hindi na-u-update itong blog ko. Almost one year na rin! Hehehe...

So anong bago? Una, new pairs of shoes! Nakabili na rin ako ng Mizuno at New Balance rubber shoes. One for volleyball and the other pang-gym.


At syempre bagong phone! After more than 3 years I was finally able to retire my SE T610. Naka-SE W850i na ako - 3G, 2MP camera, 1G memory stick at walkman. Yabang...hahaha!!! Pano ba naman ngayon lang ako nagkapera.

Birthday Birthday

Just recently celebrated my 29th birthday. Yes 29 na ako at ang tanda ko na pala. But some say i look only 25 or 26 (Naks!). Hehehe. Anyway, I celebrated my birthday in Bohol. Maraming firsts nung birthday ko. This is the first time that I celebrated my birthday outside Metro Manila and spent it without my family, first plane ride (yup, hindi pa ako nakakasakay ng airplane), first time in Bohol and Cebu. You might be wondering bakit Cebu samantalang Bohol yung trip namin. Well, na bumped off lang naman kami from our flight kasi we arrived late at the airport. We were 9 in the group but only 6 seats were left. The following day pa yung next flight to Bohol and our options were to take the flight the following day or take the flight to Cebu and just take a ferry to Bohol. So we chose the latter and that is how we ended up in Cebu. Ang galing no!

Ganda ng Bohol! I spent my birthday at Bohol Beach Club, kung saan maganda ang sand, malinis ang tubig at presko/sariwa ang hangin. Hay, sarap talaga magbakasyon. Hanggang dito na lang muna yung kwento ko.

Gym

Just recently ko lang na realize na one na year na rin pala akong nag gy-gym. Looking back,
I have lost more than 20 lbs and I now have a 32 inch waistline (from 35 or 36 ata). Hindi naman ako ganun kataba pero when I looked at my pictures (see my pictures sa friendster) then and now, dun ko nakikita na sulit naman yung binabayad ko sa gym. Pwede na akong maging spokesperson for weight loss! Hehehe

So what now? Target ko ngayon ay maging 30 in ang waistline ko! (goodluck sa akin, ang lakas ko pa namang kumain) at mapagganda pa ang katawan ko especially yung chest (naks!).

I'm back!!!

I'm back! Hehehe... It just so happened that my team mate accidentally discovered that the internet connection in the office has been restored. So here I am, taking advantage of the opportunity by updating my blog...

Walang silbi

These past few days, feeling ko nakapa-inutil ko!

Inutil on all things - volleyball, work, my friends and my family. :(

Time off

Being a gym addict as I am, taking time off from gym this week will be difficult for me. By doing this, I hope I can improve my volleyball game and increase my work output. Sana lang wag akong magkasakit sa gagawin kong ito (or won't experience withdrawal symptoms...Hehehehe). So help me God...

Busy, busy, busy

Well bye for now!!! I really haven't got much time to write a new post.... :(

Psalm 23

Psalm 23
(For the Work Place)

The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining.

He reminds me that he is my source and not my job.He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions that I might honor him in all that I do.

Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors and an aging body that doesn't cooperate every morning, I still will not stop--- for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through.

He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go. His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check.

His retirement plan beats every 401k there is!When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a whole lotlonger and for that, I BLESS HIS NAME!!!!!!

Disappointments...

- Not being promoted this year! (I'll write more on this next time)

- Losing game one of ADB Volleyball tournament

Mondays

I hate Mondays but today is different for me. I woke up early - around 5:30AM and arrived in the office earlier than the usual (when I say early it means before 9AM...hehehe). I was expecting to start the week right however, I have this terrible cough and colds. By lunch time, I was not feeling well - was not able to go to the gym :( . Now I am afraid that I might not be able to attend volleyball practice this evening. What a way to start the week... I just hope I get better soon.
