Collecting Family

There's this current trend here... "My Family" sticker on cars. It's really cute and sometimes very funny. So one day, I have decided to collect them. I am still sort of starting, but I am getting there. CLICK HERE to check what I've got so far. :)

To the hills

It still baffles me how I have come toward the hills or mountains (whichever). I always believe there is that one compelling reason beyond tangible or reasonable explanations. Running is my fact. However it is interpreted, I am running. Running to; running from; running against; running with; running fast; running slow; running steadily, etc, etc. I just run. I am not making any reference on that movie, or even establish that life can slowly unfold by running, as again, suggested by the film. Again, I just run.

Lately, I am drawn into running the hills. Me? Doing the dry land? Not to mention the heights. I am not afraid of heights. It's just that, it is not me at all. Knowing that there is no water that seemingly falls into the horizon, euhmm a bit if not a huge problem for me. I am a "water baby," as a friend called me once.

I can remember a day when I went to the woods. I said, out of nowhere, "I am home." Really, whatever that means. I know it's weird. It's something that I still have to find out. I will just keep on running. What's weirder, my soulmate is into it now too.

This Sunday is our yet highest run up and down. I know he will beat me again. He is competitive. I am not. I always tell him, I am just going to run. By that I mean, on my pace... on my own time... on my own breath. No pressure. Yes, I will stop to smell the roses. LOL!

I am just so proud he bought himself new shoes. Funny that, they almost look like his old pair. Yay!

As for me, I am currently trying on the five fingers. I am little by little doing a full-on barefoot run (beyond the sands). Ha! Let's do this:

The Usual

The usual means loyalty. It's funny how Brad and I have that thing in common. I am not talking about loyalty between the two of us, because that is moot. I am talking about common things we experience together or individually. Here are some of those:

Sundays. On this day, we usually have breakfast at Malaga Market. Or, we have dinner at Sizzler's. Even in ordering our food, we stick to what we usually order - All-day Brekky, Eggs Benedicts, Omelets, Etc. At dinner, we just rummage through the salad bar or just a simple medium rare steak.

Pub. We already moved to another suburb, but still, Brad is very much going to The Odin for a boys' night out. Sometimes I come along and order the usual Odin Burger or Fish 'n' Chips (kid's).

Beach. Perth has a long stretch of shoreline and there is a lot of beaches. Still, we like to spend time at City Beach. We go to other spots now and then, but we usually always end up at City's. We even park in the same spot - under the tree near the bin. LOL!

There are still so many things I miss to mention, but we always have that odd loyalty. It's not being safe, it's more of being comfy. We try new things, of course, but not as much as just sticking to what we have tried and tested. I guess, it goes to show that we are indeed loyal without any argument. :P

Giving in console style for empty

Being 99.9% at home where home should be takes its toll sometimes. It's creepy as it become boredom eventually. There is that need for me to do something, usually something to do with creativity. But, with the limited internet connection and limited resources, I recently just confine myself to books, which is not really bad at all. When did the last time I finish a good book? Or, finish reading something I've thought it's good then end up with a "crap" expression?

I feel empty. I feel dead. I feel unproductively stagnant. Bum. Making life a proof of sloth. Adding to that idea is a predicament between a PS3 or a Wii. It's a good thing I still partially know how to make use of my idle time, mind and body. Wait, I do not have an idle body, just mind and perhaps spirit and soul.

I am still grateful of everyday. Perhaps I have inherited such privilege because my ancestors did so well with whatever they had done in the past. Saying that, I am still in the business of what they done, but in my own little way.

There is meaning to life more than this life. I know. I just know. I am just killing time.

It's really getting hotter and hotter

Yup. Today is just so 41 degrees, and it will climb more the next day and the day after that and that and that. It's just so hot. Full stop. A very nice reason to be in bikinis and run around the beach. That's what I have been doing for the past few days. It makes me think to get a new pair of sunnies, just so I could have a different "flare" in my photos. Hahahaha! Vain, indeed! I'm just saying. What do you say, some Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses? I never really have some designer pairs. I never go beyond the surf, water or sports brands. I believe it's not just me to fashion around fashion itself. My best accessory or what I usually flash is my (naked) body... if I could only do it in public. Wearing bikinis is the closest thing I could get with such an idea. Hahahaha! I'm just saying.

All Mixed Up In Blue

Blue is something I could never out grow of, especially bikinis:

It's not being fashion safe, it's more of, I feel safe in the color blue. Perhaps the sky is blue and the sea too. :)

Spam makes me smile

While most of our neighbors' mailboxes say "No Spam Mail, Please," I want ours to say "Spam Mail, Please." I just like them. It's like shopping without actually going to the shops. I just do not like the part wherein I realize how many trees are accountable for those papers, which I usually throw afterwards. Who would not want to know about sales, freebies and coupons like best buy coupons? Right? Yeah? I think our neighbors are just being silly.

Hollywood Celebrity wears a Filipiniana at The Golden Globe

Is it just me or what? Kelly Osbourne looks stunning in a Filipiniana inspired gown by Zac Posen. If it isn't cornered at the sleeves, but rather arched, definitely it would be a traditional Filipino dress.

Stay Puft!

I/We braved elevation and dehydration. It would be my first official trail race and second trail run. I was excited enough to just run the hill, hopefully the mountain next. Little steps with short courses. :p The height made a huge difference. I doubled my time and pace with it. But then, I was equally happy with the results:
