I love to draw, but I haven’t really been drawing a lot recently. This lazy Sunday, I was organizing my files on my computer because I wasn’t able to go out and jog/bike. Browsing through my old drawings made me reminisce the time and effort I put into them. It really made me want to draw again.

I guess I stopped drawing when I got bitten by the fitness bug and started to focus more on my vector designs because it was easier to create on the go. Drawing required lots of sketches and having to hook up my tablet to the computer which sometimes was a hassle.

But enough excuses, my first love has always been free-hand illustration, and I aim to get back to it. I might have developed a bit of rust, but I’ll return to drawing again. In the meantime, here are some of the old drawings I’ve made, ranging from year 2014 to early 2015. Enjoy!

Akyat: Hike Essentials

HikeEssentials-01

I’ve already posted about the Bike Essentials that everyone should check out when they’re about to start biking. Now that I’ve had a few mountains under my belt, I’ve decided to make a little infographic about hiking! Because I’ve only ever done dayhikes, the items listed are those I’ve had some experience with. For overnight hikes, I might make separate post for that once I’ve actually done one. So for now, here’s the EVERY-DAY-HIKE carry list!

I don’t usually blog about individual running events, but certain circumstances led to this particular run giving me a lot of feels. Feels that I think I need to somehow legibly organize in my mind. And to do that, writing them here would be helpful. So here we go, a post about the Affinitea Raise d Roof Run for a Cause 2015.

Akyat: Mt. Pamitinan and Mt. Binacayan

According to Philippine folklore, mythical strongman Bernardo Carpio was trapped in between two mountains, forever forced to keep them from colliding with each other. Those two mountains, Mt. Pamitinan and Mt. Binacayan, are the subject of my first ever twin hike. Let’s go!

Isip: Off days

Having a bad day?

We humans aren’t invincible, as much as we want to be :(. There will be days where we won’t be up to our optimal performance, be it in fitness or even just in our daily activities. They can ruin our groove, destroy our momentum, and hold us back from reaching our true potential!

But fret not, because I, Jai, fitness extraordinaire and certified gym expert, will help you analyze this phenomenon so we can better tackle it the moment it shows its ugly face.

Isip: What do you think about when you run?

jaiguzon

Running Thoughts

Like I said before in my previous running post, the biggest challenge in running is mental. It takes more will-power than muscles to move one leg in front of the other repeatedly for 5 or 10 or 21 or whatever kilometers. I’ve also gotten used to not listening to music while running so it’s mostly just me and the pavement. It gets a little monotonous, so I just think of a lot of stuff.

For kicks, I decided to keep track of the things I think about when I run. Maybe some of you can relate as well.

Akyat: Mt. Talamitam

As if I didn’t get enough of my Mt. Manabu climb the day before, I spontaneously planned another climb with a friend. This time, it would be on Mt. Talamitam, a mountain that I’ve heard is also another easy climb. Packaged with the climb is a quick swim at the Layong Bilog river. So without further ado, here is the second part of my Back-to-Back Bundok weekend!

Akyat: Mt. Manabu

This climb was already scheduled way back in May. My officemate and fellow hiker, Rosalie, decided to invite other officemates of ours to an easy climb. This also served as a farewell get-together for one of us who was leaving the company. Sadly, she wasn’t able to make it to the climb, but we pushed through anyway. So here’s my account of Mt. Manabu a.k.a Free Coffee Mountain!
