Run

Our office group has been into runs lately. Good thing is that they influence our other colleagues to join the run too.

On our last run, the AXN run, (they have been always going for 21k. I, on the other hand, just went for the dorky 5k. Well, i want to enjoy the run and not tire myself badly.) I've thought of beating my own record. My last 5k record was 45mins. (i know it's easy, but i don't like running, i just do it for the sake of fitness.. Hahaha! Who am i kidding???) anyway, point is, while running my thoughts wandered off, and thought of my dad during the run.

I joined the football team during college. I am only one of the defensive players but I need to have the stamina to stay active during our games. My dad, who was consistently jogging at that time, encouraged me to join him in jogging. We jogged in the morning, he ran while I took my time walking. He did not actually wait for me but I know he is there. I thought now, these runs should be the things that we should be doing together. I never knew I can take on a 5k run, if he were alive and active, he would've tried the 21k. While running, i've imagined him running in front of me, along with the other runners.

So, when I went running with my dad in my mind. I was just amazed that I already reached the end of the line. 5k became easy. I almost cried upon reaching the end. My dad was my sole inspiration for this.

Even if I hate running, I will be joining these runs. For my fitness, and for my dad. I hope you're proud of me up there.

Masks

Probably all of us have masks, I admire people who are consistent with their interaction with different people. I know, I don't but I'm always trying.

Yes, you've read it right, I do also show different face to different people. I guess I normally base it on my comfort level. Well, let me enumerate again:

1. Family/Housemates - I've been with them for a long time and i have deviced different ways for me to enjoy their company. With them, I can be my childish me, and the most annoying person ever. I even annoy the dog and the cat. I don't know why I enjoy doing this. How do i annoy them? I call their name several times, just for the sake of gettig their attention, pinch them, slap their bodies while sleeping even roll on the top of their bodies. Of course, i only do this to my sister, brother, and two other cousins. But the annoying name calling, I do that all the time. Especially, when I've had too much sugar. Weehee.. I will be so in the mood to annoy.

2. College friends - with them, I don't know why I turn into the funny me. Never serious just plain funny, sarcastic and negative. I cried before them, whining I wouldn't graduate I'm still surprised up to now how I did it. But these are the people who could really put up with me. Even if I'm two hrs late, or I don't show up during meetings, well, I don't know why, but even if I'm like this, well I am always forgiven. I'm trying to change this now, my time is really impt now. I am juggling in between activities. Sheesh. Ika nga ni Rhona, I have too many extra-curricular activities nowadays. I have to be in time so that other activities won't be compromised. Yehesss excuse!

3. Office buddies - of course, this is where I work. What's good with them is that we're all buddies, and I can give them my most cuthroat joke and they won't mind. Or not. Or I don't know. Well, what I love about this group is the conversations we share. I feel smarter when I'm with them. I am in touch with my philantropic self (or whatever that means) when I'm with them. They also thrive to be healthy beings too, so I try to be my competetive self (let me emphasize on the word TRY, I'm really not that smart, but I've always tried to be one).

4. Aquiantances - i am a goody-too-shoes girl. I admit I love pleasing other people and I always love to leave a good impression. I can't help it.

Sometimes i go number 4 on my friends or family, or sometimes when I am so not in the mood i will be transforming into my party pooper self and stay inside my room the whole day, reading books and listening to music, or sleeping or whatever.

I think this is not just me. I think it's important for us to socialize properly, every person has the right to be dealt properly even if they act as if they don't deserve it. I also want to change some of these, of course, i want other people to know me as me. It's just that you can't be too comfortable with everyone.

So, I guess these masks are here to stay after all.

As seen below, I can now publish blogs using BlogPress via Ipod touch, or my Popodi.
Bought it for a hundred bucks (php that is!) and i hope it's all worth it. I can now write thoughts even on my own bed. Urrrgh.. Finally.

So excited to start new blogs using this one. I just downloaded it, and I am starting already. Ooooohh this is so fun.
