Looking Back....

I posted some things i wanted To Do before i die

pretty crazy to my standards... but i am not backing out... if there is an opportunity, i'll still go for it, but i won't die trying. hmmm... is there an irony there?

well... here's a new list... something more educational... useful and cultured...

1. Learn a third language - Mandarin, French, Spanish what will it be? Mandarin is for business purposes, French is sexy, Spanish is classy.. hmmmm... let's play it by ear.
2. Learn sign language - i was meaning to take this class last year, but i never got around to taking it. It could have come in handy in one our acquisitions.
3. Take a regional tour - Bangkok, China, Indonesia, Malaysia... money and priority.. which to go to first... hmmmm... Bangkok first... Phuket would be on top of my list. China will be next...
4. Take a Europian Tour - Backpacker style... i would have to get advise on this... but this will be an adventure... wild, crazy adventure. haarrrrrrrrrrrrr
5. Play the Stock Market - this will be my source of income to sustain this adventures. Invest at least 100K... play the market well, get returns to fund this trips... sounds interesting...

well.. got to get the ball rolling... ta ta...

NSWE?

There comes a time when we come to a crossroad in our lives. Where a decision is inevitable. A decision that has to be made... that will play a crucial role in where you will be in the next 5 years or so...

No decision is bad when you make them, after seeing the results... when it's after the fact... that's when it counts.

It takes courage to hold on the reigns and take charge of your life. Out of the safety net your parents have provided, a longer leash, a bigger elbow room... for us to be independent... for us to succeed... also for us to fail... fail and learn!!!

Where will we be down the road? 5... 10 years from now... who knows... that's what life is all about... a big IF right smack in the middle...

Flame On!!!!

Saw Fantastic 4 again on cable last night... Jessica Alba is so hot... that body is to die for,
















but that's not what this blog is all about... i was thinking, if there was that cosmic wave that hit the earth, how will my DNA mutate?? will my alter ego come out? my insecurities? my hot-headed personality?

lemme see... what powers do i want to have?

1. Mind reading
2. Astro - travelling
3. X-ray vision
4. Speed
5. Shape Shifting
6. Flying
7. Time Travelling

Well, most probably by the normal course of nature, my strongest asset being adaptable, so i probably will become a shape shifter or my superman complex will give me speed and time travelling ability, so i can be everwhere anytime to help.

But if it will be a curse of nature then i will probably be able to read minds, hear other people's thought. I say its a curse, given that you'll be hearing every bad thoughts, back stabbing remarks that was meant for public consumption except yourself... it will make you wary of people... given everyone is guilty of such hypocracy and back stabbing mentality disguised in the politically correct or socially accepted attitude of being diplomatic or being civil.

though its cool to have x-ray vision, but i'd rather have "what-lies-beneath" revealed slowly and deliberately... hmmmm... Sue Storm...

5K Fun Run

Feb 17, 2007, my first 5k marathon... marathon?? fun run lang uy... :)

The weeks of "training" somehow paid off. 4 rounds in Ayala Triangle - Ayala Ave - Makati ave - Paseo de Roxas - 1.25 km per round. I started to feel my lungs wanting to explode after 3km, the sides of my ribs began aching... water... deep breaths... brisk walking... go ulit...

Jake, Mabi, Caloy, Justinn, Jan, Roann and me were the CII team... Alex?? hah!! no show... well Jake was among the top 5 finishers. Jan, Roann and me were the back packers... we were at the back of the pack.. at least for the team. Jan lagged a bit behind me and roann but managed to catch up with us in the final stretch and the moron left us behind... last minute sprint... daya nito... well its not a competitive run anyway... it was fun by the way..

thanks for breakfast jake..... Jake Roxas that is... congratulations.!!!!

Pictures to come... soon!!!
