World Heart Day Fun Run

I ran 5K today in celebration of the World Heart Day. The event was organized by the Philippine Heart Association – Cebu Chapter in cooperation with the Philippine Heart Center – Medical Alumni Society. Since it’s for the HEART, the singlets were in white and red. It was a good Sunday run. About 1,600 running [ READ MORE ]

10K

Nasa Dumaguete ako kanina. No. I was in Dumaguete for a couple of days. Work has made me visit Dumaguete again. This time, I hooked the travel with something that I could do over the weekend. Kanina, merong ganito sa may Quezon Park. About 8,000 ang naka green shirt at tumakbo para sa Milo Marathon. [ READ MORE ]

Ang-Pa-Pa (Angono-Pakil-Paete in Reverse) Part 3 of 3

The group decided to skip this ancient artwork arguably done by the earlier inhabitants of Binangonan. It’s the petroglyph which Carlos Francisco, a national artist, discovered in the 1960s. To reach the petroglyphs, one has to take a long walk to the hills and must pass through a network of caverns. The path is not well [ READ MORE ]

Hindi Malilimutang Pinoy Quotes

Dahil nung Sunday, nagkaroon ako ng ideya para sa susunod na composition ko.   “Si Val, si Val, si Val! Palagi na lang siya ang may kasalanan! Si Val na walang malay!” – sinabi ito ni Vilma Santos bilang Stella sa pelikulang “Saan nagtatago ang pag-ibig.” Ito’y hango sa komiks (Tagalok Klasiks) na ginawang pelikula [ READ MORE ]

2020VAL and the Naga Run

First time kong dumaan sa bagong subway ng Cebu City. Actually ilang beses na ako magpass-through pero mula south papuntang north lang. Pero first time ko pumasok from the north end ng subway. Pasensya na sa accompanying song en español. Wag nang mag-sing-along baka ma dedo pati kayo. Tapos. Tapos na siya after 48 years. [ READ MORE ]

Mes Souvenirs: Les Champs, L’arc-en-ciel

Je vis dans un petit village. Il est situé loin du centre de la ville. Ma famille vit là depuis 1984. Notre maison est exactement près d’une ferme. Il est loin du marché et de l’église.  Il y a longtemps quand j’étais petit, notre maison était loin de nos voisins. Nous avions quelques voisins alors. [ READ MORE ]

Ang Pa Pa (Angono-Pakil-Paete in reverse) Part 1 of 3

Two old paintings of San Cristobal.   Or Saint Christopher. Same size, same concept but done differently. They were paintings on the wall, a few meters from the church’s entrance. The left painting was done on the adobe wall by a certain Luciano Dans in the 19th century. The saint with the little niño had [ READ MORE ]

Life-long Struggle to Come Out

In the blueprint of my LIFE, there’s a certain point in time where I’d just have to be ready to come out and be proud of who I really am.  I have been living a LIFE that is not entirely me. I am living a LIFE that is scared of what others might think and say about me. I’m [ READ MORE ]
