Book Run

Today's Book Run was the most fun so far. A brush with celebrities can do that to me. =)

I don't really consider myself a fan because I don't follow his work. I don't watch his channel (and consequently his TV programs) and have never seen any of his films. But in local showbiz, I find him the most appealing among his generation. I think he's really gwapo. (Jologs na kung jologs, hehe).

Today, along with an eyeful of Miriam Quiambao (former Miss Universe Runner-up), an Eigenmann (I don't know which one of the brood in the biz, hehe), Drew Arellano (not that familiar with him but I've heard of him), Shalani Soledad (Noynoy's girlfriend) and of course Marian Rivera, I saw Dingdong Dantes.


And, he appears to be a really cool guy, creating the sweetest moment I so far know that can happen in a run: after he crossed the finish line, he want back the trail to run along with Marian, his girlfriend who was running behind. Awwww. Cheezy. But sweet. :) Really sweet.

Toothfairy

It's a typical The Rock movie. Clean fun, good-natured, family-oriented. Big-nice-guy-going-through-some-rough-times-and-finding-himself-in-the-process.

Unlike similar movies in the past, however, this time I am able to relate more to that last part. The getting-through-rough-times-and-finding-yourself-in-the-process part.

That's why, although the movie itself is nothing spectacular (I don't think it claimed to be, so no offense to the moviemakers), I'm glad I went to see it. After all, it makes me able to say this:

Spread those wings and begin to fly. =)

(Am I not making any sense? I so think too. ;)

Chess

It's been so long since I last played board chess. I was so engrossed playing, I forgot to watch PBB!

Gosh, I really missed the game. I hope to play more. :)

This is IT!

Well, almost. But, since Miley says it's the climb that counts the most, this new stage is cause for celebration.

Like before, it came as a surprise. I've actually been waiting for it since the start of the year but just when I wasn't expecting it this one time, voila! Life's such a good surprise sometimes. ;)

PSE Bull Run

Contrary to the December one I joined, I made it on time so I was able to actually run what I paid for. Since it's my second run now, 5k didn't seem so hard, though I still had a good number of walks after halfway through the route. I finished earlier this time though, and that felt good.

The breakfast with runmates (and that includes our official photog) was fun, like before, and such a good time to catch up with friends. I'm starting to love Sundays spent like this. Good health and good friends. What gems. :)

Decision

When you make a decision, make it your own. If it turns out to be a mistake, at least you're going to pay for your own fault, rather than someone else's.

A Jane Postcard from Jane

Yes, you read it right. You read "Jane" twice.

It was a complete surprise to have received this postcard this morning. It's from Bath! Yep, the place itself mentioned in the Jane Austen novels. It was sent by my ex-boss Jane. No kidding. She's really named Jane. She was at Bath last christmas. Oh, I can't believe the thoughtfulness!

Someday, I'm going to explore the places in the postcard.

The Mailbox

It's just one small rectangular wooden box. It's not even distinguishable from the series of similar boxes stacked in the area if not for the number identifying it. I also don't like its paint color nor paintwork. In any other situation, it won't matter much to me except on a few occasions when I had to check the mail. And even those times were just routine, nothing to fuss about.

But this past week - and probably the next few - is not just "any other situation". It is everything the rest of someone's life could be. The Mailbox. It holds the key.

Happy New Year!

It's been a tough 2009. For everyone in the country, as well as for me personally. But am I glad to be here with you welcoming the new year! =) It's going to be a winner year. ;)

Cheers!
