A week after returning from the shores of Boracay I found myself back at the beach! This time around though it was much closer to Manila, around 110 kilometers south at the beaches of Canyon Cove, Nasugbu, Batangas. Batangas as far as I know isn’t really popular for white beaches but surprisingly Canyon Cove was,…

Runner’s World Philippines, Page 36
Have you seen this month’s issue of Runner’s World (Philippines) magazine? I missed the first issue (I’m not really much into reading, much less into magazines) and this one is my first copy of the magazine. A friend of mine told me what’s inside that’s why I got myself a copy (included with this month’s…
Boracay Adventures: Realization (Day 3)
Coming to the third day of our Boracay trip I realized something—three days are not enough! There’s just so many things you can do in this lovely island that three days are simply not enough. Our return flight to Manila takes us to the Kalibo International Airport about an hour and a half away from…
Boracay Adventures: Exploration (Day 2)
After our team-building activities on the morning of our second day (facilitated by Patio Pacific) we were again set for more adventures the island offers. What’s the most typical sight you see on popular beaches? Banana boats! Believe it or not it was my first time to ride a banana boat because I wasn’t too…
Boracay Adventures: Last Dose of Summer (Day 1)
Before summer came to a close (at least for the Metro) I had a last dose of summer in none other than one of the world’s finest beaches—Boracay! It had been a dream of mine to visit the island ever since I’ve heard of its legendary beaches and this summer I had a chance to…
The Perfect Spot for Barefoot Running…
I thought I had found a great place to run barefoot but last weekend I found the perfect spot! Where is it? Soon 😀 (I just got back from this place so I haven’t got time yet to write the story :))
Ten Running Essentials 2010 Edition
My first post about the ten running essentials served as my shopping guide when I was just starting with the sport. Back then I had no experience to rely on so I was dependent on guides like these. Now, more than a year hence I can say I’ve gained some knowledge to finally update the…
More than a Name Change: Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) 2010
Last year was my first ever marathon outside the Philippines during what was then called Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM). This year, Standard Chartered, the event’s title sponsor, decided to give it some makeover by having a name change. But the changes with this year’s event is more than superficial—new sponsors, Race Director, routes, and…
RP’s Shoe Designs
Remember my ancient post on mi adidas? For the longest time I can only imagine myself designing a shoe of my own and by chance I happen to drop by mi adidas’ site. To my pleasant surprise I found that the site now allows us to customize a variety of shoe designs as base for…
Ask RP: Buying Shoes
I’ve been receiving quite a handful of enquiries lately from various fronts about all sorts of topics, and so for the convenience and benefit of all stakeholders I decided to post my replies here. While I don’t claim to be “all-knowing” and didn’t intended this it’s probably inevitable with any runners with presence online. Without…
TNF100 2010 Chronicles: Post Race Hurrah (Part 5)
After a successful TNF100 campaign the next agenda on our list was to eat and freshen up! Who needs rest after a hundred kilometers of trail? 😛 This is part of a series① ② ③ ④ ⑤ What I love about Baguio City was that practically everywhere was just a ride away—a taxi ride away! …
TNF100 2010 Chronicles: Conclusion (Part 4)
Although I didn’t commit to the pact with Jonel and Ronald of staying together that night, I didn’t oppose it as well. Deep down within me I wanted badly to complete this race. I may not be in the best shape possible, but I would not give up so easily. And I don’t want to…
