My First Adidas KOTR

yey! I survived and finished my very first Adidas KOTR run! It was so long ago since my last 5k marathon and it was the earth run. im glad that this marathon went thru as scheduled. there have been a lot of typhoons going on and a lot of marathons being moved to another dates.
For my first KOTR run, i think the organizers did well. Not bad for a marathon who had more than 7k runners. There was a glitch though during the claiming of race packets though my claiming of the race weren't so bad at all. I am in the 5k marathon and surprisingly had the lesser number of runners compare to 10k runners. There was a lot of freebies during the expo at megamall. On the race itself, i just have to complain on the drinking stations. I think water was not safe to drink. parang galing sa banyo. Next time organizers should make sure that they serve clean potable water. Hindi naman lahat ng tao eh hindi maselan ang tyan kagaya ko. After the presentaion of winners, there was also a cheer dance performance by the De la salle cheering squad. I'm sure guys enjoyed the show. There were also celebrity sightings, we saw, bebe gandanghari pero sayang at hindi kame nakapag-picture kay ms karylle. Oh well, until the next Adidas KOTR! :)

Mt Cinco Picos

Eto ay isang lumang karanasan na nahalungkat ko lang mula sa aking inbox. Year 2006 nang ako ay nagsimulang umakyat ng bundok. Naka-ilang akayat din ako nung taong un. Take note, wala pa akong equipemnts nyan at sandals lang ang tanging mga sapin sa paa. Wala pa akong mamahaling merrell shoes..

Eto na ang Mt Cinco Picos( Five Peaks ) experience. Ang Mt Cinco Picos ay isang alternatibong bundok na pwedeng akyatin sa Zambales. Makikita mula sa Subic ang Rounded Peak (Bundok Dayungan) at Pointed Peeak (Bundok Balingkilat). Ang Mt Cinco Picos ay kilala sa tawag na Tatlong Tirad o tatlong Tusok. Kung bakit tatlong tusok ay malalaman ninyo kapag inakyat ang bundok na ito.

Sa unang araw, sumakay kame sa first trip (0300am) sa Victory Bus Pasay sation. Ang baba namin ay sa Olongapo City malapit sa chowking kung san kame nagbreakfast at bumili ng packed lunch.

Pagkatapos kumain, naglakad kame papunta sa Marikit Park kung saan duon kame nagregister, kumuha ng ide at tshirt.

0830 am na kame nakalis duon at isang oras ang byahe papunta sa jump off. Mula sa jump off, dalawang maliliit na ilog na hanggang tuhod ang taas ang madadaanan bago makarating a bahay ng Aeta’s chieftain. Ang mga lugar na dinadaanan ay ang ancestral lang mga aeta duon. Pagkalampas ng bahay ng chieftain, may madadananag ilog na hanggang baywang ang tubig at ang trail ay parang miner’s trail. Maluwag ang daan at maraming water source (bukal) namadadaan papunta kina Solong david. Mga 1200pm ay lunch on trail naman. Pgakalampas kina Solong David, makikita na ang Tatlong Tirad.

Ito na ang Mt Cinco Picos. Open area at matalahib ang trail. Gradual ang pag-akyat pero mahaha-habang lakaran naman ito. Pagkadating sa campsite eh kinailangan pang maglinis ng onti. Meron ding water source sa camp site. Unahan ang makarating sa campsite para makapili ng pwesto. Kame ata ang unang grupo na makarating sa campsite. Sweetness at yabang !hehehe! Pagtapos magpahinga ay nagluto na rin kame ng panghapunan. Nagkaroon din ng mini socials ngunit nakatulog ata ang organizer namin. Nagkaroon din pala ng paraffle at nanalo si ate flor ng isang bote ng Bailey’s. Tinira na lng namin un the next day nung magswimming.

400 am ang wake up call para sa mga gustong umakyat ng tuktok ng Mt Cinco Picos. Matalahib at ,abato paakyat ng summit.

May mga nakita kameng bahay ng mga baboy ramo. Sa summit din makikita ang 360 degrees ang Subic Bay at ang Silangin.

By 0600am ay nasa campsite na ulit para magluto ng pang-agahan. 0800 am ay break camp at dapat meron na ring packed lunch. Kina Solong david pa rin maglulunch. Nagkaroon din kame makaligo sa ilog duon. Crystal clear ang tubig at ang lamig. Sarap magswimming.

After ng wash up, sinundo ulit kame ng mga jeep na magdadala sa amin sa SBMA Subic Freeport Zone na dating base militar ng mga Amerikano nuon. Gumala at nagdinner kame ulit dun. Nuod ng concert dahil octoberfest nun. Gumala ulit ng konti then dali daling pumunta sa bus terminal, muntik pa kameng maiwanan ng bus kaya ung papuntang caloocan na lng ang nasakyan namin.

Hay, isa sa mga hindo ko makakalimutang climbs ito.

Going mexican on a saturday

my tequila pa

with matching hat pa

Another successful story by A. He successfully made his first taco/nachos although lacking with a quickmelt cheese. Nothing beats a home cooked meal. yum!

Kikay Heart

A and i decide to just stay in the house. Laidback saturday that is. All those devastating news about northern luzon makes me sad and worried about my families over there. My aunts in pangasinan are flooded. We also had a small flood in our house in baguio. Just a little though and its cleared by now. Worry is taken away when i receive text from my sis that my favorite niece just pointed Piolo as her papa. Very funny and bibo kid. Also, just this week, she played withe her tita's foundation stick . She made tita's tv her canvass and wrote all over it. Not enough, she made it her lipstick too! Those things really makes me smile. Heart is in the stage of trying to learn and copy everything she sees. Just like when she goes with tita anne after her bath, and she puts roll on and lotion all over her body. Hay, pakialamerang bata talaga..

Steve Jobs

STEVE JOBS AT HOME IN 1982 - "This was a very typical time. I was single.
All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that's what I had." -Steve Jobs
Wonder if this was what drove him to keep all of his Apple products simple & clean..

Im not sure if this is true or not. i was born on the year 1982. This is what he was doing then.

Skimboarding

Ewan ko ba at gusto kong subukan ang skimboarding. gusto ko sanang subukan ito sa boracay, kaso matagal pa ako makakabalik duon. so try ko na lang muna dito sa mas malapit sa iba,zambales. anyways, compared sa surfing, finless daw itong skimboards at mas maikli cya. Nagdadalawang siip tuloy ako ngaun kung tatakbo ba ako sa NB run o tutuloy dito sa skimboarding event na ito. Hindi natuloy ang NB run dahil sa typhoon ondoy. dapat ito ay nung septmeber pa. anyways, kung hindi amna ako makakatakbo sa araw na un, nagawa ko naman ang part ko. Ang registration ay mapupunta sa beneficiaries.

At ito pa ang isa sa mga nais kung subukan at magawa sa buhay ko, ang magsurfing!

Mukhang sirena ata ako sa past life ko, Mahilig ako sa tubig! Balang araw, magagawa ko din ito! Aja!

Help me think!
