One of the latest US franchises to reach Philippine shores is IHOP, formerly known as International House of Pancakes. As a food lover, I’m always open to trying out new things, and IHOP was naturally included in my “must try” list. I’ve heard mixed reactions when it came to the lone IHOP store in the…

Behind the Scenes: Pico Tri Invitational 2013
I’ve been very privileged to have been part once again of Pico Tri Invitational for the second year in a row, and this year’s event saw the event grew much bigger than the previous. Here’s a behind the scenes look back at this event that happened last April 06, 2013.
Mornings with Active Health (Behind the Scenes of 2013 Run United 2 Launch)
I seldom do blog posts about event launches (since my intention is to focus on the event itself, not the launch) but every so often an event launch comes along worthy of one, and that “one” being the recent launch of this year’s second leg of Run United. Unlike most event launches which happen on…
Visita Iglesia 2013
Like many Filipinos, I commemorated this year’s Holy Week with a visit to various churches. I realized that I wasn’t able to do this last year, so this year it’s a must that I outdo the shortcomings of the previous year.
Summer is Here! My Long Overdue Return to Puerto Galera (Part 2)
The following day was a total opposite of the day before: it begun with rains and for the most part cloudy. Just as when I was seriously considering running barefoot on the beach!

Product Review: ID On Me
Everyone knows that emergencies occur when we least expect them, and sometimes getting vital information about the patient outright could mean the difference between life and death. Some would argue that an ID is enough but in situations when you don’t have your ID with you (like that casual jog for example), how many of…
Manila Chinatown: Chinese New Year Walkabout
It was the eve of Chinese New Year, and what better place to be in Manila than Chinatown? I wasn’t running of course, but it was really nice to walk around and see how this festivity is celebrated.
Bohol + Cebu Quickie: Roaming Around Cebu City
Cebu City was the real destination for this trip so early in the year, and as a runner Cebu City Marathon was naturally the expected reason, but this time it is not. The real reason behind this trip: to go to Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño to give thanks for all the blessings. 2012 was…
Baguio City Quickie + Food Trip
Just before 2012 drew to a close I managed to take a quick break from the hustles and bustles of Metro Manila by “chilling” in cool weather of Baguio City. Here’s my trip in pictures.
2012: Last Hurrah
2012 had been one of the most “interesting” years of my adult life but unfortunately running took a back seat for me this year in terms of mileage. That doesn’t mean though that there isn’t much to share about this year! Here are ten (10) of my favorite posts for the year:
Season’s Greetings
