a different way to Celebrate Christmas!!!

a message from a Dear Friend. :)

Hi Papa & Mama,


I hope you received my previous email/message regarding He Cares Foundation Street Children Caring Center. I am fervently wishing that you'll join me and my other friends in this good cause. To reiterate, on December 26, 2010, we will be going to He Cares Foundation Street Children Caring Center to give the kids our monetary donations and a simple Christmas party. Aside from lunch that we will provide for the party, we will also be giving away school supplies, a pair of rubber slippers for every child, a few prices for the games, toiletries, groceries, old clothes and other things that they might need.
If possible, we hope to receive your donations, either monetary or in kind by December 20, 2010. This is for the preparation of the lunch and gifts that we'll be giving to the children. We also encourage you to donate monetarily so we can buy the items that the children need most.


Please take note for monetary donations:

1. BDO "Cash Pick up Anywhere"

2. Western Union Money Transfer



Note: Kindly text me your name, amount of donation and control number or tracking number of your transaction.



For donations in kind, please contact me :)



We hope to hear from you soon and we hope you can help us in making this Christmas happy and memorable for the children of He Cares Foundation Street Children Caring Center.


Again Advanced Merry Christmas and God Bless!




Thank you,


Ronnie :-) .



NOTE: hope we can raise fund for the CHILDREN, so we can celebrate Christmas with them too. Excited on this activity. Thanks Ronnie for sharing this ...Thanks God for everything.

Maligayang Pasko sa Lahat!!!! :)

just simply being me

These past few months, so many things happened to my life. A very roller coaster feeling, sad, happy, confused, complicated, excited, fullfilled and others.


May – met my long time friend, and happily he become my boyfriend (for being single of many years, yes I’m in a relationship :) )

June – one of the best birthdays I ever had, first time to visit Bohol and Cebu. I also treat my parents for my father 66th birthday in Cebu (there first time to ride on an airplane)

July – saddest part as I need to be far away to my BF, its hard since I’m still adjusting from being single into in a relationship then being alone again. He leaves me because he needs to work abroad.

August – emotional struggle, have to decide for my future. Go with my work application abroad, in other company locally, or in other department only. I just want a new environment, new work, and new challenges. I decided to just transfer to other department, same company where I’m in, at first I was not allowed to transfer since one of my colleague resigned, so ok, I accept it. Since I just want something new, I decided to rent a room near in our office, yes after 6 years of working, travelling everyday from Bulacan to Quezon City, I tried to board. My first time to live away from our home after 29 years of existence.

September – confused moment, HR called me and informed me that my application to transfer to other department was approved by our Division Head. Hmmm, confused because my Boss, my Department Head, and other spoke to me not to push through my transfer (I understand their reason, and it’s hard for me to decide). I talked to my Kuya (my ever reliable confider) and some of my friends, all of them say, do what I want to do. So I push through my application, already talked to HR and my future boss (and I know, the new job will be very challenging to me). So I know I have to leave again the boarding house since I will transfer to our other office next month. I will have to buy a new set of dress, from NOC Engineer (super casual wear) to Customer Engineer (corporate attire), a different world, hopefully I can make it, I should do.

- Complicated also as I don’t have communication with my BF, I missed him.

- Excited and fulfilled, as I climbed a mountain, yes I did it. My first climb at Mt. Tapulao ( i will write a blog on this)

I’m looking forward for the next month, I know this will be very challenging, but I’m pretty sure, I will do the best. Being professional on my new job (need to study again), being passionate and determined on things I want to do (running, climbing, and other) and being a much better person.



Thank you...
Godbless!

Takbo para sa Katutubo Race -- and im late :(

I was so excited and prepared for Takbo para sa Katutubo. My brother registered me for this race (I keep on texting and email him just to register me, since he is not so approve on my running activities, hehe) I get my race packet on their home in Pampanga, a one  hour ride in our place.
My race packet had a T-Shirt, 2 Bib Numbers (front and back) and the Race map.

I knew I can get to the place on time, from Malolos just an hour to SM Pampanga or less. Woke up at 3am with rain pours heavily, I texted my brother if also raining in Clark (he works in Clark and a night shift on that day) and as per him no, rain laredy stop. So fix myself and ready to go. As my usual Race discussion with my Father (everytime i will go for a race)
Tatay: Saan ka tatakbo?
Ubyang: Sa Clark
Tatay: Sino kasama mo?
Ubyang: Marami nandun na sila (kahit wala naman, hehe)
Tatay: Saan ka sasakay?
Ubyang: Sakay ako ng Victory Liner Bus.
Tatay: Sigurado ka alam mo ung pupuntahan mo? Dito ka na lang tumakbo, bakit pupunta ka pa dun?
Ubyang: Opo, naka ready na nga ako e.
Tatay: Ang lakas ng ulan.
Ubyang: Hindi na kaya (it's true, rain stop for a while ;) )
Tatay: Tara na, ihahatid kita.

I ride a Victory Liner Bus that will pass in SM Pampanga. On my suprise, there is no Bus nor jeep going to Clark-Main Gate as early as 5am during weekends. While still raining, the other passengers also wait since we have no choice (me too, that's the only way I know). At 6am still at the terminal, the caller keep on telling us that the jeep was on the way na, and I knew that the gunstart already started *sigh*, Im already late, but still I try my luck go. (oh by the way, my father keep on texting me where I am and if not raining on my place ;), hehe).

At last on the Clark-Main gate, I  have to ride again a jeep going to CDC office, the starting line. There are also 7 runners in the jeep going to the site (whew! hindi ako nag iisa, and i think they are kapampangan, late also, hehe ;) ).
At the starting line, I ask one of the girl (wearing organizer shirt), if race already started and she told me, "tapos na" with a slight iritation ( :( sorry naman, I'm still hoping I can run pa).

Sayang talaga, the race was so intimate, a 3-digit number runners, around 500? and everyone was smiling and happy. I came 43mins after the gunstart of 5K, so if I run the race most probably I'am already finish,
:( sayang. About more than 10 runners pa, crossing the finish line when I arrive.

I saw Sir BR ( I congratulate him, ask ko sana kung ok na ung knee nya kaso nasa shy ako, na starstruck ako - Im one of his thousands blog follower,and i love his yellow livestrong shirt hehe ) and Sir Jon (hindi ko na siya binati, nahiya ako coz i came late :( )

Here are some of the pictures:

isang gabi sa UP

One night run in UP. First time ni Jack mag run sa UP, as in first time nya ring tumakbo,knowing him as super bagal maglakad (mahinhin kasi ;) ), ano kaya mangyayari sa amin, hehehe. He did 2 loops in UP Acad Oval (4.4Km). Since first time nya, more on kwentuhan mode and motivating him to run (naks, I'm just sharing what i learned from ANR-Ortigas group, though hindi ko rin masyado na aaply, hehe). Nag register kasi siya for our Company's 2nd Fun Run, he will be running 3K. Ako, I did 3 loops (6.6KM), nabitin ako sa takbo, hehe. I hope Jack will enjoy running. :) para madalas ko siya maaya sa UP, ng hindi na ako loner, hehehe.

running? :P

enjoying the run?

body building ba? hehehe

photowalk o photorun?

Thanks Jack! I hope maaya ko na rin sila Lai at Linne.

SMILE - SMBmountaineers In-Live Experience
Had a wonderful Saturday with my newly found family SMB, though hindi pa ako nakasama sa mga climb nila, they accept me to be part of them. It’s a good feeling to see kids smiling and laughing, kahit ramdam mo ung hirap nila, they are still striving and thankful for what they have. Kahit umulan at umaraw, they are still excited on little things that we offer. They participated to the games that we prepared and they showed their talents in dancing and singing. Thanks to SMB for this wonderful project, looking forward in our next S.M.I.L.E ^-^. Thanks to the sponsors, those who donated books, laptops and others; the students, teachers, parents and principal truly thankful for what they receive. This project will not be shown in on air, but in the eyes of God, He will be delighted that every one of us is helping each others. Thanks to all.

July 25, 2010


A much awaited running event of the year, the Takbo.ph Runfest. I was thinking twice if I’ll join the race or not. First, I’m so tired on Saturday activity in Antipolo; second, nahihiya ako (shocks, I really don’t know why) third, sobrang lakas ng ulan sa amin on that morning. But when I see my singlet with personalized name, hmmmm, I should go and besides I will be meeting Madz and ANR-Ortigas group so I know I will not be left alone ;). Since it raining that morning, I’m late and wasn’t able to joined to Madz and friends so I just travel alone to The Fort. I just really don’t know pero when I’m approaching the area to left my bag, kinakabahan ako, excited? Saan? Sa race? Nahihiya kasi mag isa lang ako? Wala akong makitang kakilala? O I saw my crush? :P..hehehe basta . I left my bag in a baggage area, then go to the starting line, I arrive a minute before the 10K gunstart so since I’ll be running 5K, I still have enough time to look for any familiar faces, sadly wala akong nakita, naiinggit ako to those with their friends and buddy? Haiz ako I’m alone, lagi na lang, hehehe. The race started, I run and go at the leftmost on the lane as I know I will be walking most of the time, ayaw kong maging abala sa iba, hehe. I’m not familiar with the place, as always, so I cannot tell where I saw Ric, officemate ko,nag volunteer siya under Coach Mar, I’m happy to see him, yes may kakilala na ko, hehe. When Ric saw me, of course he ask, sino kasama mo?..hehehe ako lang. Then I run again, somewhere along the road, I saw Lee of ANR-Ortigas, I called his name, his running for 10K, and he greeted me also. Ayun, nasa tabi ko pala si Doc Rellie, kasama ko din sa ANR-Ortigas, kaya thanks to him, kasi sinabayan nya ako hangang sa matapos ang race. I also saw Kuya AH, one of the volunteer and a performer :) , Kuya ___ (suplado :P). The ANR-Ortigas group, friends I met in TNF-Baguio, Julius and friends and others Takbo.ph. Lahat masaya, lahat nakangiti, lahat nagpapa picture. Napagod ako kakahanap ng Personalized banderitas ko, buti na lang Jeng found it, thanks girl, wala akong tiyag e, hehe. And I have picture with Coach Rio,un un e, hehe. Thanks to Pedz and his friend Rolly, na isinabay ako pauwi, thanks guys ;). Thanks to Takbo.ph for organizing this event Anniversary Fun Run, a very fun sunny Sunday, looking forward on the next event. Thanks sa lahat, sa organizer, sa photographer, sa volunteer, sa runner, sa lahat that this event made possbile. Thanks. :)
