Im the first bionic woman. Tada...


The advantages of youth sometimes i think is not so much in strength or health but in its optimism, naivity, and thirst for the unknown. Age as much as it provides wisdom, knowledge and experience but it also changes the inner core of a person as they go through real life struggles. I hope that no matter how old i am and no matter how much shit life has thrown at me.. i pray and i pray hard that i will never be too old that i am filled with only bitter resentment and cynicsm.. because by then i think life is just not worth living anymore.

The Big Family is aroud for a cousin's wedding and our small home is bustling with activitiy. Its nice to have everybody around but after a while I sort of miss the comforts of silence, the beauty of normal weekend activities and my moments of solitude. Everybody needs a little alone time to gather their thoughts, to recoup. So here i am, enjoying my little corner of seclusion in the endless world of internet. Dont you just love technology?

On a different note, i did still manage a short 6.2KM run with the bro and cous on Saturday and i am proud that i got to run/jog 5kms straight at a slow steady pace of 8.07/km (jumps up and down with joy!). I know ive done a 10km and 20km before, but i think the most i ran before i started a jog+walk combination was 4km. At first i only planned to jog 3km, walk and continue running but when i got there the legs still felt fine so I targeted 4km.. then as i got to the 4km mark i decided to push myself a bit and jogged until the5th KM. By then it was a good point to walk as the left ankle was already getting a little jiggy. So the last 1.2Km was just a little jogging, skipping and walking and boy did it feel good.

oh btw.. i read in Mens Health that running was the best exercise for the glutes... Hot buns here i come! :D
