     Whoa! Attalast!!! A breath of much needed fresh air to break the dreadful routine. This weekend was very much awaited as we planned to visit Cagayan de Oro not too long ago. Say, just three weeks earlier? lol This was my second time to visit but too bad I was just going to stay here for one day. Yes, ONE day. I had my return ticket and I so badly wanted to reschedule my flight for another week.  (sobs) Main agenda: Lawrence Niece's Christening. There she is!:)      After the 3:00 bell I immediately shut my PC down and rushed out so I could get home before 4:00. I fed my dogs, changed, packed and headed out to Robinsons mall hoping that there would be a shuttle to Robinsons Galleria. And there was indeed one...free of charge! So I hopped on and waited, the traffic was starting to become like a monsoon and I arrived just in the nick of time. Lawrence and I had coffee at Bo's while waiting then we rode a taxi going to Pier 3 (Cebu to CDO)...

     Someone told me the other day that I have gotten a tad fat. Oh! Initially I thought, "It must be all the sodium from the food trip I had during the weekend." Another possible reason behind this must be my working out lesser than usual. Either way, I really could not care less.      Gaining weight is a normal part of life and I know some women fuss about how heavy they are even though they are just a pound heavier than they were ( what , yesterday ?) I tell you, save yourself the fuss. I am not the kind of person who weighs herself every single day. I am way over that phase and the last time I stepped on a scale was more than a year ago.      It's unfair to blame fat. I'd say there are many factors on why one gains weight. It could be stress, water weight, muscle growth and the like. Another point why I am not so conscious of this is because I am taking protein...and with protein comes more muscle...more muscle equals lesser to...

      Monday brings about an inevitable drag. My caffeine dosage comes to a peak at this time of the week and I have to hopelessly crawl out of bed. My eyes struggle to open and the cold air makes it more difficult to do so.      After winning over the first day of the week. I get by the midweek like a breeze. Now I can tell that's becoming routine again. Time passes by quickly and before I know it, it's Friday once again.       Running breaks the chain and gives me a temporary escape from all these. I only hear myself...my breath, my thoughts and I teleport into a whole new dimension.      Coffee is my ultimate liberator and makes up 60% of my energy supply. Without it I am dead.  (∪｡∪)｡｡｡zzZ       Even if this is the case, I can honestly say that my weekdays are productive!  How do you feel on a weekday? Tell me your thoughts.  ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ Michelle

     A year has passed since I visited Phuket and until now I can still vividly remember everything. Thailand had been in my bucket list before we went there and it holds such a special place in my heart. The people, the food, the place is sublime. We weren't there for the bars...although it is much known for its exhilarating night life. We traveled to really be one with everything and just simply to live in the moment.That was a first and I cannot wait for next time.  Thank you Thailand! Michelle

     Hello all the way from the Queen City of the South! If you want to dive deep into history and immerse in diverse culture, Cebu is the place to be. It is home to Basilica del Sto. Niño (also known as Sto. Niño Church), the oldest chuch in the Philippines and dates back to 1565. Nature lover? Head down south to Oslob, you can see and swim with the majestic whaleshark ( Butanding ). Go on an exciting canyoneering adventure in Badian then trek and jump into Kawasan Falls. Drop by Malapascua or Bantayan, bask under the sun and witness the arresting and picturesque view.       It all sounds so wonderful, right? But what else should you really know before coming here? To save yourself from the unwanted hassle, read on. Here are some tips from a person who has lived here for 26 years (and counting)! 1. Cebu city has been booming. More buildings, more people and therefore, more cars. We rank number one in the worst places to drive in list, accor...

      It can wait,  I thought to myself. Months have passed and only two days ago did I renew my PRC license. All the fuss from the news about taking units and attending seminars bothered me so much that I went to PRC the day after I have read the updates about it.      For those of you who don't know, we may soon be required to take formal and non-formal training before we can renew our license. This ACT (Continuing Professional Development Act ) was approved by the senate last year.   Of course, it has its pros and cons but this act has drawn a lot of negative comments from people saying that it is such a hassle we have to go through seminars when the pay can't even compensate for it.     Anyway, remove that mental baggage because we still don't need to experience all that...not just yet. If you're asking how to renew your PRC license, read on. It took me about 15 minutes at most! Pretty fast! PRC Cebu is located across Innodata in...

     A trip to the hardware store made me realize how different the male species perceive things from women. Not generally speaking, though. We paid a visit to handyman land yesterday and I felt like I was in an entirely new planet.  For the typical girly girl, I bet you can relate to these. Unless you're the girl who can do a man's job, you wouldn't know what some these are for. Take a look at the photos below to see what I mean! Hardware bling! I didn't know they had a name for such things.

     We had our first fun run after ages! The last run we did together was four years ago. Even since Lawrence got injured, we weren't able to do so anymore...until last week when we joined Wipro Run 2016. Let me just say how happy and proud I am that we crossed the finish line together! 5k done! happy faces! Can you tell how hungry yet joyful we were because of the free food?   Hit the road running!:)
