Sunday
August 16, 2015

Hot on the heels of last week’s metric century is this bike ride to Tagaytay City. This is another special ride for me because it’s my first imperial century!

Guhit: Drawings ’14 – ’15

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!

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.

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?

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.

Gala: Whale Sharks in Oslob

Sunday – Tuesday
May 31, 2015 to June 2, 2015

I have officially completed the primary objective of my life. When I was a kid, I visited a museum that had a whale shark installation. Since that day, I’ve always been fascinated by the world’s biggest fish. So when I found out that it was possible to swim alongside these giants, I immediately placed it on my bucket list.

Well, that item has been finally checked off.

If it’s not obvious yet, I like escaping from the hustle and bustle of city life. I was pretty bummed seeing all my Facebook friends post beach pictures and so I vowed to get myself to the beach ASAP!

Baliktanaw: Life Snapshots

Forgive me for not being so active recently, I’ve been caught up in the daily grind of life. What that basically means is that I’ve been living the same routine everyday. Work has been a drag and the only times I feel “alive” has been during the weekends.

So in order to quickly encapsulate the recent happenings in my life, here are some pictures:
