Another Marathon!

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

I’m joining another marathon! This’ll be my second marathon. I haven’t trained for days now though; so I’ll have to work harder tomorrow. I don’t think I really need to rest the few days before the marathon since it’s only going to be a 5-K race. I’m still going to load on the carbs though. The marathon’s going to be on sunday. It’s the Midnight Run, so it’s going to be starting at 12 am. For those who wants to join, please do! Hehe. We’ll be meeting up at City Sports at 10pm this saturday.

NO CLASSES TOMORROW! =D Tomorrow’s going to be our school’s Christmas presentation. Only those guys who were chosen to perform goes (how I pity them =P). I’ll just have to go there at six.

Okay, sorry for the brief blog. I’m going to play badminton and have some vegemite =P

I’ve just tasted the Vegemite! The first time I’ve tried it, I found it horrible. That was because I tried it with the Vegemite layer that’s half an inch. I’ve just recently tried it with butter and this time, with a very thin layer of that substance. It actually tasted great!

I’ve also just read the Newsweek a few days ago and I found out that Coconet, a Philippine company, won The World Challenge! If you wanna’ learn more about it, here’s its website…

Right now I’m listening to a different musical. I’m sure many of you have heard of Le Miserables. This has recieved alot of good reviews. It’s too bad that the musical isn’t in a movie. It’s too bad the majority of the Philippine population doesn’t listen to this (45% under the poverty line =< ). You can listen to some of its songs at its site…

Just click the "20 YEARS" link, then go to "Sights and Sounds", then "Music". You can go to the photo link to check out its cool stage design. Hey, I haven’t bought the book yet! =P Okay, I should promise myself to buy it next weekend.

Today, I’ve missed classes. The morning was just mass and a pilgrimage anywayz. My aunt’s trip was moved so she chose to leave today. We borrowed some snorkels then took a boat to an island (I forgot the name). Surprisingly, there were alot of tourists there. The fish and coral were great! Just bringing a bag of rice really attracts the fishes. My aunt says that the coral variety is much greater than Australia’s. This makes me less surprised why tourists come here.

After that trip, we left the hotel for the airport. Our relatives were now leaving for Manila (and one for Australia). She left me some vegemite! I was really curious how it tastes like; and it actually tastes like solidified soy sauce. I’m trying it out with butter next time. I’ll post how it tastes sometime.

Okay, that’s all for now. =P

Today’s been horrible. The past week in fact has been horrible. I have found out that the person I like has never liked me back. What aches even more is that I have lost her trust. I do not know why and how I did it; and she won’t tell me. This happened last friday. I felt that I have one again become a living death.

The day after that, I went to her school’s intrams and their Christmas bazaar. The only time I found her was from a short glance. I left early.

Right now, I’m still trying to find why I had lost her trust. This and knowing that I had been irking her really gave me a bad day. Two hours worth of badminton really did help out alot. This really helped me out in forgetting about it.

I want to think that this is just the rough part of life’s road and it’s going to be over soon =>
besides, what do I really get by just weeping?

My aunt’s going to back to Canberra on thursday instead of today (yeah!). She’s really lively for her age, and I also get to ask her heaps of questions in economics. She’s getting her Ph.D in economics soon from the Australian National University. I intend to migrate there (or another country) when I’m much older (it’s still a long way from now). She also keeps urging my parents to migrate there (which I really want, hehe =P). She’s already some veggemite here. Now, I’m asking her for a year’s supply of Horlicks. =P

Whoah, that last one was surprisingly long. Okay, I guess that’s all for now…
