Puss in Boots Happy Meal

Just so you know the newest Happy Meal in town is Puss in Boots. I already bought Puss in Boots and Humpty Dumpty in the last two days. Not exactly one of the must have release for happy meal unless you dig  those Puss in Boots puppy eyes.

Sea of Red

It was literally a sea of red as around 8,000 runners flocked the streets  Bonifacio Global City during the 2011  Nike Run Manila last Saturday. When the race was launched last month I was already anticipating a big turnout for the said event. Imagined for only 650 you get  a really nice dri-fit shirt and water bottle from Nike. The finishers kit also come  with a nice bag (may pang-Divisoria na ako).  The 2GB USB has to wait though due to some delay in production.

Since I signed up early for the half marathon for the Adidas 2011 King of the Road, I didn't set any goals or personal records that I want to achieved for the said race. I just treated this as sort of training for my upcoming Adidas 21K race. This is actually my first night race, so me and my friends just enjoyed the leisurely run/walk.

Pardon the blurry night shot of BGC skyline, I was actually running when I took this picture.

Much has been said for the said event, from positive to negative reactions. Anyway here are some few observations for the said event:

• A wave should have been implemented in the starting line since there is there is only one category. The route eventually become crowded that made it difficult for some participants to run freely.

• Just loved the songs that were played during the run. If I can remember Party Rock Anthem and Move Like Jagger were played during the warm-up at the starting line. Parang party lang.:)

•  The hydration stations were set-up nicely and sufficient enough  to hydrate everyone.

• There were some parts that were poorly lighted. I think it is the 8K-9K area the road leading to Kalayaan Ave. It's so dark that I accidentally bumped into some runners.

• Just as any other running event the baggage area were pretty chaotic. Nothing new there. I already expected this, buti na lang may dalang kotse yung mga running buddies ko.

• As for the finishers kit, there were none. Aside from the Powerade and bottled water you get a promissory note saying that there were some delays on the production of the thumb drive. I just wished they could've announced it on an earlier date, these just cause some disappointments for some runners. Tsaka sayang sa papel.:p

• Parokya ni Edgar, Sandwich and Chicosci definitely rocks in the post race event. We weren't able to watch the concert though as we were busy munching on our Crispy Bacon Melt at the Fort Strip.

Despite of some shortcomings from organizers and fellow participants, the event wasn't that bad at all. Overall we enjoyed the run. I'm already looking forward to a better Nike We Run Manila next year.

Finally Got My GetGlue Stickers!

Finally my GetGlue sticker were delivered yesterday.Woot! Woot! In case you don't know what I'm talking about, GetGlue is basically like Foursquare only you check into what you are currently watching (be it a movie, DVD or TV), listening (music), reading(books,graphic novels etc) and thinking. What's good about is you get stickers (physical copy delivered in your doorstep) for checking in variety of things. After you're rewarded with 20 stickers, the site will notify you that the physical copies will be mailed to you. And just like that after 3 weeks, I finally got my first batch of stickers. The stickers i unlocked we're pretty lame and generic. For now I'm planning to give it to my friends (especially the Selena and Rihanna stickers) and put some on our car.

Selena looks lovely here though.

I can't wait for the second batch! I have yet to figure out what I’m going to do with the second batch.Any suggestions as to where I should put them on?
