My Lifestyle ~ My Life ~ My Blog

Is there a time in your life where you want to cry but decided not to or could not find any reason why you have to? For some unknown reasons, I always find myself in this situation.

I was watching P.S I Love you when I realized something about “crying”. It may be some sort of an ordinary love story or just a typical drama movie but for whatever reasons, it made me think why I opted not to cry in a moment where I should be crying. I made a few mental notes of my own reasons and here's what I came up to.

• I associate crying as a sign of weakness - I should have realized a long time ago that crying is a way of showing someone’s emotion, whether he/she is happy or sad. It is never a sign of weakness as what I always thought.
• I don't want people see me cry for I have an image to uphold - whatever that so called “image” might be. I'm still in the process of figuring it out.
• I'm a very private person – everyone who knows me may disagree but I am. My life is an open book especially to my friends but there is one soft spot in me which I have guarded for quite some time now. Releasing this guard is something I'm still in the process of working on.

Each one of us has our own share of life's drama and I think we should appreciate, embrace and learn from those dramas because that's what makes our life exciting and I guess makes our blog worth reading. If you have your own special reasons why you opt not to cry or smile, share it. You’ll be surprised what reasons you would come up to.

I was talking to Oric about my first meal in Yoshinoya and he started laughing because he told me that they've been open for quite some time now. I'm actually familiar with the establishment but I didn't dare to go there since I find the place boring and too ordinary for my taste until recently when I went to Mall of Asia to register for the Adidas King of the Road. I went there for several reasons .... 1. to register for the marathon 2. buy something in CD-R King 3. buy gifts for Carla and Barney 4. take photos using our brand new cameras and finally to eat something delicious.

I was able to accomplish everything especially the part when we get to eat in Yoshinoya. I know this is just an ordinary restaurant but they are better than other Japanese fastfoods when it comes to food quality. I ordered Miso soup and their Jumbo B which contains rice, gyudon and yakiniku. It cost me around 180-200PHP which is think is reasonable for their good food. One thing I noticed is that their food is not oily and it taste better. As for their restaurant set-up, I still find it boring. A little re-arrangement of their chairs and tables would help but one thing for sure I will definitely eat there again.

I registered in "Adidas King of the Road" to be held in The Fort this coming October 25. I enjoy jogging with my friends which we normally do during our rest days and now this marathon will prove if I somehow develop a thing for running. I know that marathon not only requires me to be physically fit but I also need to be motivated to finish the race. Like the rest of the marathon, this is a run for a cause. I'm still convincing my jogging buddies to join me in this event.

I cancelled my gym membership because they eat up a big portion of my budget so I resorted to jogging which is one way to get all my muscle worked up for free. I invited a few friends and we now have a regular Thursday/Saturday group. We normally jogged from Vito Cruz to CCP. We developed a routine ---> running CCP's main entrance path for 5 rounds then doing our own steps routine (just like one you see in aerobic classes) for our cool down. We will then run the perimeters of the area and finally I'm going to do my own version of ab workout (i badly need to loss some of my tummy fats). You may find this physically exhausting but I get to enjoy every minute of it. We normally reward ourselves with a breakfast in Mang Inasal near Century Park Hotel.

While doing all our exercise routine, I notice a few peeps (some are really HOT) gathered near Manila Bay and I get instantly curious as to what's going on there. Then here comes a new and possible sports for me --- the DRAGON BOAT. I develop an interest to learn how to paddle and I might start paddling this month. No one can beat a good exercise so come and join me jog and run this coming October 25. See you guys.

We watched "Spring Awakening" last Sunday in RCBC's Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium. When I went there I don't have a clue what its all about. I pretty much have an idea that the story will tackle something related to sex. I was right at some point but its more than sex, they tackle provocative theme like abortion, homosexuality and the likes. They also show parental relationship on a different perspective.

Spring Awakening is a story of a group of teenagers eager to learn stuff that's happening around them. Majority of us can relate to the story since in some point we all experience the same thing, ask the same question and feel the same way. I personally like (especially the bed scene...just kidding) the play contrary to my friend's comment. I like how they transition one story to the other, how they utilize the stage and above all I love the story. You get to see Sitti and Jett Pangan sing theaterical songs. I like Joaquin Valdez portrayal of the lead role Melchoir.
