Running because I CAN!

I made my first official jog outdoors tonight. What was so surprising about it was that I enjoyed it. However, initially it was still painful just because my lungs and my entire body was not used to running for that long. But it definitely felt exhilarating running around the track and just jog off my troubles for that hour. It also helped to have a good company too though. :)

I'm hoping I can do this jogging outdoors once a week. I'll have to make sure I bring my iPod if I go alone. Running around the track without music would be a little challenging without music.

I'm going to attempt this jogging challenge. My goal in the future is to do a marathon. I hope I can do that. :D

Hello there...it's been a while!

I know I know...I've been neglecting you my good ol' blog lately. I guess I just haven't been wanting to write any words down. There have been lots of things that has happened in the past few months though. Mostly it's good things and I couldn't be more happy about it.

I'm just going to say it without being too vague or short about it.
I'm in love with my best friend! <3
I couldn't be more happy with someone that I truly care about. We have known each other for almost 9 years now. I met him when I was 17 (he was 18) and my first impression of him wouldn't make me think he would become the love of my life. I guess it took me longer to let that sink in too. I'm just happy it finally came true. :)

I'm also in the right course with my career. And I hope this will only open up to more possibilities for me in the near future.

I'm just loving life right now. :D

Smartening Up

"All I ask of you is one thing, particularly of young people: please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism -- for the record, it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere.

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen!"~ Conan O'Brien

My Choice

I don't like starting the day feeling bothered about something. I still have a choice to get over things that bother me, but it still bothers me that the issue bothers me. Say that five times fast? lol

But again, I have control over my feelings. I get annoyed easily but I can also easily get over it with some rationalizing and maybe discussing the issue with the person to clear the air.

I'll get over it.

Lucky

It just keeps getting better and I couldn't ask for anything more. :)

Jason Mraz's song Lucky, featuring Colbie Caillat is very suitable song to dedicate to this post.

Each Passing Day

Each passing day I learn more because I'm with you.

Reflection On A Trip To Cuba

I just came back from a wonderful trip in Cuba. Lots of experiences, laughter and pictures to look back on. It's a beautiful country to visit and experience even just once.

What I brought back from the trip (aside for the souvenirs) is the realization how damned lucky my friends and I are to live in a country that gives us the freedom to be happy citizens. We have the rights and freedom of speech and we are taken cared of by the government in many ways.

We deserve it and I wish everyone else in the world can have that luxury too...
