Columbia Eco Trail Run Leg 5

Single track

To the river. Fresh water!!!

Oh. Yes. Boulders.

La la la la

Last Feb 5 Columbia held the 5th leg of their Eco Trail Run in Brgy Mulao Liloan. It was a 12k (it seemed more that that) run-walk-picture taking. We wanted a break from our regular road runs so we joined it despite the exam the following day. IT WAS SUPER FUN. Well, not to mention the very steep climbs on paved roads which were heartbreaking just upon the sight of it.

It took me and my friends days to recover. Imagine if the earthquake happened on that day.

MEETING OFFLINE

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:22:00 +0800

I met J on mIRC back in high school, around 2005 when there were still a lot of sensible people there that time.

Anyway, J is a Cebuano who migrated to NZ in high school and spent a lot of time online probably to remedy missing Cebu. We chatted til mornings, talking about facts and fiction, school, love life (we were never linked, in case you’re wondering), music, movies and just about anything. We even sent mails and stuff.

After a very long time, he finally came back for a vacation with his family and girlfriend. Cebu is a very small place, as you might have noticed. His close friends happen to be my classmates in med school now. He attended — crashed is a more appropriate word — a medical convention our school held and even though we haven’t talked with each other for months, our first meeting was coolyo…

Tina: J!!! FINALLY.

J: Tinaaaa! Seven years! Man, that was long. I’d hug you if you weren’t wearing that (uniform).

Tina: Nah. Come here!

*hugs*

HAPPINESS. I was even surprised he kept track. Hah. Seven years? I hadn’t noticed.

We had lunch the following day and he crashed the convention again.

And then he crashed our school party, donning his own costume at that. Talk about being prepared!

It feels so good to finally meet someone you’ve been talking with online for years. I tell you, meeting offline is way better.

SINULOG STREET PARTY

Cebu probably has one of the longest series of parties. From Christmas to New Year, and then the streets are filled with banderitas and there it is, SINULOG!

Spent last year partying with friends and strangers. Whaddya know, everybody’s just having fun!!

It officially starts tomorrow.

OH. YES.

PIT SENYOR!

My 11-11-11 date with some live sultry voice in the background. We talked about muses and our not-so-tasty drinks.

Nindot ang cemetery amo pagabisita-an. Dakog hawan, dulhog pa gyud. Badminton ra amo-a gi-dala ug football. Among tupad gadala ug skateboard. Instant friends. Lingawa ba.

Gaki-at lang dagway.
