Getting in Shape

Thanks to an iPod, I finally got the much-needed encouragement to start running (again) and hopefully lose some weight. Running around the neighborhood is not that bad. My parents used to run in the early morning but eventually got disgusted by loads of shit plastered on the pavement. Lucky for me I haven't encountered any.

I got my running route from a fun run organized by the local parish some years back. The 5km route, which starts at Bagumbayan, covers Biyaya, Mag. Jose Abad Santos, Mag. Arellano, Mag. Mapa, Bataan, Lubiran, Dalisay, Bacood, Bagumbayan and Dangal. For a relaxed pace, that distance should be enough for a 30-minute jog.

Supposed Re-launch

I was supposed to make another (nth) re-launch of the blog, turning it into a merchandise site for the community but the proposed sibling partnership did not push through in time for the December tiangge at Our Lady of Fatima Parish. I was surprised though that the stalls were already up in November (after a week-long sojourn in Puerto Princesa) - there goes our plan.

Anyway, the idea is still up there. We're hoping that we'll eventually get on the project.
