mga makasaysayang "lakad", literally, ng buhay ko

i kind of lost na my momentum for this post... but worth posting 'cause i literally walked and walked for almost 18 hours. now my legs hurt and it feels like they're gonna fall off from my body soon haha morbid.

unang walk - ccp and baywalk jog/walk with the pretty and sexy maricor (630-900am)
notable notes:
  • the last time i jogged there was about 20 yrs ago... socks: the ones with like fur balls above the heels na uso noon. lemme draw it...

  • there were a couple of aerobic groups there! cool! my mom would love that!

  • after walking around the ccp complex, you could always traverse the baywalk!

  • baywalk is a schizo and has 2 faces: day (the family mode) and night (the gimik mode)

  • i will never forget manong magtataho's kind gesture of accepting our P15 payment for 2 glasses of taho (actual cost: P20) just because he doesn't have change for P100.

  • likewise, the kind gesture of the elderly joggers who offered us their breakfast baon - hot soup... they have this big pot of soup that reminded us of lolo jehan, nelo, and patrash.

  • had the best breakfast at mcdo, p. gil (na nilakad din namin from baywalk)! hotcakes and cold chocolate! yummers!


  • pangalawang walk - women's forum at the world trade center with ma (100-500pm)
    notable notes:
  • it was really boring. full of contacts-hungry organizations.

  • setting: hundreds of walk-in booths that offer products, services, or simply get your contact info

  • nevertheless, good bonding ito with ma


  • pangatlong walk - powerbooks power walk with myself (530-730pm)
    notable notes:
  • the girls and i were supposed to meet at 7, but i went straight to makati from the women's forum rather than go home pa. sayang effort.

  • there were no seats available so while scanning for books, i just stood there, walked a little... scan, stand, read, walk... for almost 2 hours!

  • finally at around 645, the carpet area was finally opened. i read half of this "indulgence" book.


  • pang-apat na walk - dinner at italianni's and greenbelt stroll with riche, allen, mauie, ecel (730-1100pm)
    notable notes:
  • simply put, great food!

  • oh, we met the famous italianni, the owner of the resto! hihihi! ask the girls!!! i swear!

  • there were about a million birthday celebrants that night!

  • we concluded that you have to be a professional singer and dancer before you could be hired as an italianni's food attendant.

  • a night stroll at greenbelt park is so relaxing... the kids at the fountain are so adorable!

  • we learned that mauie bought her bra strap from freeway haha i-broadcast ba?


  • pang-limang walk - clubbing at a certain "sayawan" in greenbelt with the girls, except mauie (1100pm-100am)
    notable notes:
  • wild crowd!

  • young crowd!

  • nasty foreigners!

  • i actually took some gulps of sanmig light! i thought i could NEVER tolerate the taste of beer... but, hey! it actually tastes like cali, ampalaya flavor

  • it was really good to have danced my heart out with the girls... bumped backs and bodies with people you don't know... naniko ng mga irritating people... constantly checked if there were still 4 bags, and a jacket, on the floor.
