     Hello everyone! I just got back from an amazing trip in India. It is, indeed, a must-see place if you want to fully experience a culture that's totally different from ours.       Applying and getting an Indian Visa isn't that hard but you have to really set a schedule for it like we did. Here are some things you need to know first:      1. You can only apply for an Indian Visa in Makati. I don't know if travel agencies cater to this but this office (BLS International) is the only one authorized by the Indian Embassy.      2. E-VOA (Visa On Arrival) so far is not available for us Filipinos. You might read forums stating that it is possible. Apparently, I e-mailed the Indian Embassy about it and it's not.      3. You have to apply two to three weeks prior to traveling.      And did we already pay for the tickets before applying:? Yes (because it was a promo fare) and it was a risk...

Pit Senyor from all of us! This is our annual Sinulog photo.

     I took two tabs of B vitamins today. My energy is just exploding and my fingers are shaking! It's nothing new, really. Some days I just need a quick lift and this is one of those ....days. It's been approximately 120 hours since I ran 21 kilometers. My body has recovered and the soreness is gone. I did a recovery run earlier this week, too!      I have come a conclusion that building muscle does help in running. It's not only all fancy schmancy. My core has gotten so crappy. The last time I did power yoga my flabs went hay wire but good thing I was still able to do a tripod headstand. I guess I still have it in me...flexibility though, back to zero.      Before flying out to India, I will be juggling workouts at home with running. I need to because I'll be taking a week off. Probably I will be doing some simple workouts there but we'll see. Catch y'all laterssss! Happy Friday everyone! Pit Senyor! It's Sinulog weekend alre...

           Shoes, singlet, socks, race bib, cap ---- all not ready! Last Saturday, January 7, we slept at Lawrence's and I was really unprepared for the marathon. Mind you, I got sick days prior and ran a total of 11 kilometers the whole freaking week. I know I should have been tapering mileage but I got sick, like really sick, and it was so impossible to push myself into training again. So I left it all to prayer. Heehee       Assembly time was 3:00 a.m. and we had to rush home for me to prepare and wow, it was the second day of my period! Perfect timing, right? But you know what Regina Brett says: So, with my race bib attached and an extra tampon on hand, I simply ran. Ready! Sweatyyyy! photo by: Lawrence Lim The first 8 kilometers was easy as pie but when upon reaching the foot of the bridge, I could feel my gut churning already. Heading back, I thought, "what the hell did I get myself into?" ...

    Staying in shape has always been a huge part of my life. My earliest memory of working out was when I was in elementary. My mother, who was a flight attendant then, would bust a sweat to Jane Fonda's cardio and toning routine.      In high school, I skipped the exercise and literally starved myself skinny. Sad to say but social media was one of the major reasons why I did that and it was just plain ridiculous. It made me look "nice" for a while (I thought) and my hair started falling off easily and I didn't have enough energy to study even and my grades went downhill.       Good thing I managed  to get back on my feet and made a complete diet overhaul. In the last year of college I was already doing weights. It gave me the lift I needed after a long stretch of unhealthy lifestyle. I continued to do the same thing for a year and eventually, like any routine, got bored with it.      I got into running and yo...
