Running

Soo I finally got myself a pair of running shoes and ran out of excuses. The last time I worked out was hmm id say around September. And because I was being teased that I looked like a lollipop (HAHA) I decided to stop running for a while (big mistake!) And well, its been 6 months.

And though I run for reasons that equates vanity, I also needed to find something else to do than to just sit all day and surf the net. And I also plan on going to beaches ive never been to when I get home soo though I dont feel the summer vibe over here, I def need to look smashing! hahaha

I wish I could say that the 2 times that ive been to the park was good. The first time I went there to run I spent two hours walking, brisk walking or whatever cause I couldnt run for more than a minute without huffing and puffing haha. Oh well thats what you get for not working out for so long!

Today was better. I ran much longer but I took a nap after going around twice haha. My goal is to get to run around the whole place without stopping before I leave. Yeah, right! haha

So im hoping the next time I go back will be much much better. Its only sad that I can go there about once or twice a week. Once on a weekend and when im not "working". I really love the place though, its nice to just sit there and think or sleep or just watch the dogs or the ducks or watch people play soccer.

I really do wish we had something like this back home. I usually run on a machine because I am afraid of dogs and well its not pleasant to run while inhaling car fumes :/

Anyway, here are some pictures of the place.

Not so comforting to see when youre trying to decide if you should hike

Ducks everywhere!

Kswiss ultra natural. I love my shoes :)

I AM POOFED!

Be Responsible

This is a post from my multiply blog. I support spaying and neutering and believe that pet owners should have it done. I love kittens and puppies but if you dont have the means to take care of all of them or have to resort to giving them away or selling them, youre not being responsible. I was guilty of it and at one point I had close to 20 cats! Some got sick and some died. It was a terrible experience and that made me decide to have them neutered/spayed.




Each year, millions of unwanted animals are euthanized (put to death) because there just aren't as many homes available as there are animals. If that isn't reason enough for you, read on. And much worse, there are a lot of stray cats and Dogs roaming the streets which of course lead to accidents causing injuries and death. Especially in the Philippines when there are very few shelters and a few people who have the compassion to help injured stray animals (kudos to you guys)

Top Reasons to spay or neuter your pets:

• Spaying reduces the risk of certain types of cancers and infections in females, especially if it is performed prior to the first heat.

• Spaying also eliminates the possibility of getting blood stains on your couch, floor, bed, etc. when your female has her heat cycle.

• Neutering lessens a dog's temptation to roam, as well as to fight. (Studies show that the majority of dog bites are made by intact , untrained male dogs); Same with cats. Also once they become adults, theyre more likely to be less affectionate (when not spayed) especially the females.

• Neutering also lessens your dog's temptation to fall in love with your company's legs. heheh

A lot of people think its selfish to do this and deprive the animal of their whatever instinct (haha) But the thing is, not spaying or neutering your pet increases the chances of your pets (future) offsprings to be placed in a bad home or worse, to end up in the streets.
