Sunrise road run
Eucharistic celebration
Healthy breakfast
Happy Wednesday
Good morning sunshine!

I'm looking forward to Sunday
I'm excited to run on new routes
with Myang Ligaw and Running Warrior

I'm still discerning if I will
wear this (my new motto)
on my back as I run--

RUNNING HAPPY.
LIVING FREE.
LOVING MORE.

for a mutant friend

You are a man of few words, minsan may mga kwento at reklamo ka rin pero ang dating macho pa din. Siguro ganoon talaga ang personality mo, direct to the point, wala masyado explanation and emotion. At lalo pang naemphasize ang yung pagiging tahimik kasi ang mga kasama mo ‘di matigil sa pagsasalita (sabagay kung sasabay ka pa sino na makikinig sa kanila). You’re a man of action. Kaya siguro ang galing mo tumakbo. Minsan duda ako na mutant ka,(most likely totoo nga) okey lang mabait ka naman. Palaging busy, pero may social life. Focus and rational. Adventurous and carefree. Seryoso at low profile.

Salamat

For the many movie treats (lalo na kapag 3D), ‘di ka nadadala magyaya. For the ice cream times. masarap talaga sa CS (lalo na kapag libre) at masayang kakulitan ang mga kasama. Tawanan at kwentuhan na walang humpay. For the road trips (photoshoots at swimming) mga lakad na kung saan-saan, basta may kalsada, may pwedeng puntahan, sa mga bundok, tabing dagat at mga falls. Because of your sense of adventure, mas napamahal ako sa ganda ng bicol. For the get togethers. Isa ka sa mga promotor ng buko juice sessions, of which I’m very thankful na dun ko kayo (mga katulad ko na lakwatsero at ayaw umuwi ng maaga) nakilala at madalas nakasama (nung may mga bisyo pa tayo hahaha).. Kwentuhan. Tawanan. Inuman. Kainan. Pagkakaibigan. For the road runs (our saving grace) sa ating lahat ikaw talaga yung seryoso dito. I was privileged to witness your metamorphosis as a runner.. From your first 10km run up to your farthest, lagi ako happy and proud sa tuwing mag-aabang kami sa pagdating mo finish line. Thank you for the tips and techniques (running coach), sa mga pagkain at energy drink na baon mo (na halos kami ang nakakaubos haha) and for the challenge and encouragement you give to us to pursue for more.

I will miss your company and your eccentric (in a good way) personality. I am very happy that you survived the last two years (despite the dangers, storms and earthquakes) without change of heart. Let my prayers accompany you, as you journey back home.
Go on, the road is long, run along. Be free and be happy. Together let’s run to the finish line! God bless you, dear friend.
See you soon.

basta

Sa tuwing tayo'y magkakalayo
Hindi matahimik ang puso ko
Bawat sandali hanap kita
'Di mapakali hanggang muling makita ka
Dahil kung ika'y makita na
Labis-labis ang tuwang nadarama
Magisnan lamang ang kislap ng iyong mata
Kahit ano pa ay kakayanin ko na

**Basta't kasama kita
Lahat magagawa
Lahat ay maiaalay sa'yo
Basta't kasama kita
Walang kailangan pa
Wala nang hahanapin pa
Basta't kasama kita.

Giliw, sana ay ikaw na nga
Ang siyang mananatiling kasama ko
Dahil kung ika'y mawawala
Pati lahat sa buhay ko'y maglalaho

Repeat**

Walang kailangan pa
Wala nang hahanapin pa
Basta't kasama kita.

luma na ang kantang 'to. korni rin kung iisipin. pero kamakailan lamang ay nakuha ang atensyon ko ng muli ko itong marinig(dun sa korean teleserye na secret garden hahaha). ewan ko ba kung bakit may kilig at kakaibang haplos sa damdamin ko. para bang may kiliti sa puso ko tuwing naririnig ko ito. pakiramdam na may mumunting kuryente na tumatawid sa aking dibdib at nagdadala ng ngiti sa labi ko. toinks!

siguro dahil, ikaw ang naiisip ko--espesyal ka talaga sa buhay ko.

hehe, excited na ako magvideoke. kakantahin ko ito sigurado.♥♥♥

sunday's best

Dear God, please bless all mothers, specially mine. Thank you so much for their great love, constant presence and gentle hands that unceasingly love and nurture us. They have shown and shared to us generosity, endurance and strength through their comforting words and unparalleled support that motivate and inspire us in our endeavors. May we (their children) make them proud and happy for they are our inspiration. And through our simple ways, may we make they feel that they are loved beyond measure and they are irreplaceable in our lives. Amen.

mama, without powers and magic you are the best heroine in my life.♥♥♥

I was very happy to hear the news. Listening to you, excitedly telling me the story in between sobs(drowning with joy) on the end of the line, brought happy tears in eyes. We’ve been waiting for this. The prayers had been granted. The blessing was given.

My only regret is that, I’ll not be able to witness the ceremony in person. For that, I am very sorry. But I will surely celebrate with you, across the seas and in between islands.

Never forget how happy and proud I am of the man you are now. I will never cease to thank God for allowing you to be part of my life. You will always be my best memory of summer.

Prayers and love for you always. ♥HB
