Computer Software:
I’m still using the same computer I built during the quarantine days. I love how it has held up over time but also pissed I didn’t upgrade it a bit before the AI-pocalypse.

Shoes:
- New Balance Fresh Foam X Kaiha Road (Walking) – Used on a few runs, but the upper isn’t very durable so now I just use it for daily walking as the insole is very comfortable and remains cushy and bouncy. My oldest shoe as of the moment.
- New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz ST (Walking & Road Running) – 2nd oldest shoe but it still handles short distance running. But mostly used on my walking rotation.
- New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4 (Walking) – My least favorite shoe on my walking rotation. Not as cushy as the others, but still more comfortable than other brands.
- New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3 (Road Running) – Another Evoz, but a half-size smaller (and that’s how I found out I can also wear 9.5s comfortably). Makes me feel more zippy when running so I made it my race shoe.
- New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 (Trail Running) – My first trail shoe post-pandemic and it got me through my aircast days because of its high stack height. My main outdoor shoe for hikes and trails.
- New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 (Trail Running) – New shoe thanks to my uncle from Canada. Still haven’t battle-tested this yet, but I’ve been breaking it in from a few daily uses. Looks really good on my feet.
- New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 (Road Running) – Bought on the same weekend as I received the previous Hierros. These were out of stock in Metro Manila, but I fortunately found a pair hiding in the province. On sale for a very cheap price. I couldn’t NOT get them. Tested on a run and they feel amazing. Lightest and cushiest shoes I’ve ever had.
