Time to run again! - U Run 2013

After three weeks of having no training due recent travel to the Philippines, it’s about time I get back to running again. Yesterday, I collected my free running apparel in Velocity Mall near Novena MRT station.

 

Now, I am committed more than ever to resume running and get back on the right track just like what I was doing when I was living in Manila.

 

As always, my dear friends, Happy Running to all of you!

Disfruto las compras

A mi me gusta las compras aquí en Singapur porque siempre hay muchas gangas de muchas cosas de muchas marcas. En cuanto a las gangas de las ropas o los zapatos de firma, yo recomiendo comprar en Zara, Gap, Cotton On, Aeropostale, Springfield, Apache, Rockport o Nike. Personalmente me parece más interesante comprar las cosas cuando las tiendas ofrecen precios bajísimos. Creo que vale la pena gastar un poco dinero para comprar las cosas para mí. Además, Singapur es una zona muy turística, entonces siempre hay muchas gangas para ofrecer a los visitants.

Arrival + Departure = Well Wisher



My cousin took a short vacation in Singapore last week and she stayed at our common friends house for several days. She set up few dinner schedules together with our friends but I wasn't able to make it. I felt sorry for her because I had no time to be with her so that we can roam around in the city because I chose to work. Two hours before she left the city, I finally saw her. We met at the airport to exchange our presents. She decided to checked-in her baggage first. Then, we talked a lot while drinking a cup of coffee and we took some pictures. We waited in the coffee shop until we finished our drink. We had a nice talk and updates about our lives. Although it was a short time for us to catch up, we had a great time together. I think the last time we saw each other was before her suitor departed Manila. One hour before her flight schedule, she decided to go immigration for document inspection and we finally bid goodbyes. It was a great get together with my cousin in the airport. I finally sent her off. 

I hope to see you Christine soon in Germany. Dream, Believe, Survive. :D



Cast Away

 

I was so excited with anticipation of my short vacation on my hometown of San Juan, a small town in southern Batangas province. At last!!! I was able to take a long vacation for more than 7 days. Since I started working, I never had a chance to take longer vacation because of few reasons.

 

Immediately after going out from the airport, my friend's husband picked me up and got me from the airport on time. Then, I went down to the nearest MRT station so that I could take a bus going to the province and I travelled 3 hours from Manila to San Juan. Shortly, after I arrived home, I unpacked my bag and I gave my mom her presents.

 

I also attended my sister's wedding in Manila. I only stayed in Manila for less than 36 hours because I had to go back in the province to settle important things in different government agencies and banks.

 

In the next few days, I paid tribute to visit my relatives which I always did constantly in the past. As I expected, they named and called me to a name which does not belong to me and even to my surprise, my godmother called the same name. Should I just call it constant mistake on their end? After visiting them, I decided to go back home and I chose to walk again in short distance with a rocky hills instead of a walking in a long distance plateau. I'd rather walk in a hilly & rocky road because I can see the blue calm water & seaside.

 

While walking, I was very upset because I realised again that I am living in someone's shadow. "Like  Bitter Gourd or Dark Chocolate, it is good to our health." Maybe for them, it is better to remember me as someone who is not me. Well, I think this is life. I only have one hope of visiting them again in the future because my grandmother's sister-in-law, who has dementia, she remembered me in my own name, she described me as very naughty that is why always remember every time I ask her who I am. I am still wondering why it was so hard to understand their behaviour towards me.

 

A day before I left Philippines, I met few friends and former colleagues.

 



Green Corridor Run 2013

I am very happy with the outcome of my first official long run in Singapore. This morning the weather is good so my friend and I managed to  run in The Green Corridor Run. The race started at the historic Tanjong Pagar Rail Station and finished at the old Bukit Timah Rail Station. After we finished the race, feel like we'll need more practice so that we can run again in the next event. 

 

I can now finally say that my year has just started. See you U Run 2013 in February.

 



Excursión por DHL

Nuestro equipo de trabajo hemos tenido una excursión esta mañana en los principales atractivos turísticos en Singapur. Hemos tenido la oportunidad de visitar los templos budistas en Changi, el templo hindú Sri Mariamman que está localizado en Chinatown y que es más visitado por los turistas que llegan a Singapur. Al mediodía hemos comido en un restaurante hindú en Clarke Quay. Luego, caminamos por la avenida de South Bridge para visitar el temple de Buddha Tooth Relic que es muy majestuoso. Hemos visitado también las tiendas la mezquita musulmana de Masjid Sultan en Singapur la calle árabe. Además, en Little India es posible comprar los mejores materiales, los perfumes y las sedas con precios baratos.

 

Merece la pena visitar los lugares culturales porque es muy educativo. Tal y como se lo digo, estoy muy contento!

Tomar el sol por la playa de Sentosa

Ayer estuve planeando irme a Bukit Timah para dar el paseo y tenía la sensación de que podía caminar en la colina más alta en Singapur. Esta mañana, de repente he cambiado mis planes y no lo sé por qué. Me he ido a pasear por la playa de Sentosa. No hay demasiada gente que esta tomando el sol porque es lunes. Entonces he decidido bañarme para relajar un poquito. Dejo volar mi mente con mucha ilusión. Así mismo mi cuerpo y mis músculos se relajan ante la paz que me rodea y me siento después muy tranquilo. Aunque me he ido solo, me siento mucho relajado y contento.
