Was able to try it out last weekend and I have mixed feelings about it. Weird kasi nya. There's the 80s na element, at the same time heavy on hip hop moves and na-incorporate din naman ang club. Weird. Anyhow, the release is very tiring though. If want good cardio work out, attend Jam classes. Ikaw ba naman tumalon/ or skip sa at least 70% ng class, kung di ka pa papayat nun. Hehehe.

True. And it’s happening not just in war-torn Africa but on our very own country. Price of rice reached historic heights. All over the news, people are queueing under midday sun for a bag of subsidized NFA rice. Government is pulling all the stops to remedy the situation. Even if it entails losses on part of the Government. The presidency is at stake here. Coup attempts may have failed but hungry Filipinos can spell disaster for GMA. And so people are pointing fingers with each other. The more intelligent ones propose solutions. Some proposed using kalabasa as bread additive and carbs source. Some proposed camote instead of rice. Another proposed hyperincreasing salary in the Philippines to cope with the rising prices. Etcetera. I will not propose yet another solution.

Market! and Serendra.   Because I did not warm up and stretch much, my calves ached even before I reached the first water station at the 2nd km. Bummer really! I had to slow down. But I’m still lucky, one runner suffered from leg cramps just after the 1st water station, in the middle of a talahiban near British School.   I reached the finish line after 28:23 minutes. Not bad for a beginner right?  <IMG class=alignmiddleb src="http://images.franayr.multiply.com/image/2/photos/93/300x300/6/Picture%20364.jpg?et=R+0,Rik8qExZz2LN8DfRGA&nmid=89532657" border=0><IMG class=alignmiddleb src="http://images.franayr.multiply.com/image/2/photos/93/300x300/13/Picture%20381.jpg?et=Y1vgzaDoaNTOxpbGeAUnbQ&nmid=89532657" border=0>       &n... http://franayr.multiply.com/journal/item/81/Runner_2742 Fri, 4 Apr 2008 06:22:00 -0000 GSM Outing, Summer 2008 http://franayr.multiply.com/calendar/item/10001/GSM_Outing_Summer_2008_ Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:24:25 -0000 Feats, Feast <A href="http://franayr.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R@cYpgoKCm0AADyKPJw1"></A>Gianna, Glade's little princess,ranked no. 1 this year so school and so naturally, we celebrated!
