Eat. Run. Love (A One-Day Saga)

As promised. I'm gonna try my best to blog as often as possible. So how was my weekend? Well, it was quite fun and healthy in a way. Highlight of the day was warming-up for the upcoming TikTakbo fun run on September 22, 2013 at the UP Campus. Mr. Jameson and I have decided to prep-up for the event since we have not run for quite sometime now. My last run was last year (I can't even remember the date) that was held at SM MOA. Jameson has gained some tummy and needs to loosen-up a bit. Hahaha. Good luck on your 16K! My weekend all started at Eastwood. We planned to meet at 1 AM (well actually he set the time) and I was there earlier at 11:45 PM 'coz I don't wanna leave too late. Strolled around the area, walked in the park and did some sight seeing (as if I don't see the place everday!). I was magnetized by the music playing in Agave and so since I'm a little bit tired walking, I thought of chilling-out for a short moment and ordered a glass of Coco-Lychee Margarita. As the clock ticks at 1 AM, Jameson is still nowhere to be found. 1:20 AM, no-show! 1:40 AM, Nada!. I said maybe my boo is still busy putting up his BB cream and styling his Jonathan Yabut (not Manalo!) hair! Though the music is nice, I got bored 'coz I have no one to talk too. Thanks to the waiter, Daniel, for giving me his time and building some rapport and for...should I say..."flirting" with me??? hahaha. He said he recognized me as I was there last week. Clock ticks 2 AM, still no signs of the VIP coming. I'm feeling kinda tipsy already. Daniel asked me if I want to order another glass, I resisted 'coz our next itinerary was Something Fishy (I need to have an empty stomach so I could enjoy the unlimited buffet). Heaven's door finally opened at around 2:30 AM, Mr. Jameson Nagrampa Lacsamana has finally arrived. Hallelujah! What was supposed to be "short moment" became an hour and a half of waiting. Well, I guess I have to be used to it, as they say "Better Late than Never". Is this your way of revenge since I was late last week? Hahaha.

EAT.

Then we're off to Something Fishy. We want to make bawi this time 'coz we weren't really able to enjoy and maximize our meal last week 'coz we were so much bloated with the unlimited Strawberry Margarita in Agave. But this time it was kinda worth it. Unlike Jameson who actually got tons of rice and mixing it with Macaroni, green Gelo and Paladusdos ( geez is that what you call it? sticky rice rolled in coconut shreds?) in one plate, I took the time of getting a small portion of each cuisine and organizedly position them on my plate. For me, food presentation matters! While my mate's plate was a mess with garbage presentation! (wahaha...why not pour the champorado on your rice as dressing next time!!!), I was taking the time to savor my food. After finishing my main course,  I had some French toast, pan cake with choco syrup garnished with mallows and candy sprinkles, biko, green gelo, and fruits. It was a superb meal but Mr. Jameson did not finish his rice! Gosh, you better watch the Grave of Fireflies again!. Now, I'm craving! Damn!..And off course, as usual, we had lot of discussion during the course of the meal. We love to fight you know! Trivial issues that Mr Jameson will always exacerbate to the extremes!. He's the great opposition! Well I guess, it's not us if there's no debate. Right, Tayguts????

RUN.

It was raining when we left Eastwood to go to Marikina Sports Complex. I was like, OMG, not now! Pls don't ruin our warm-up. But then the moment we arrived and entered the complex premises, the raindrops slowly faded faded and the sun started to shine a bit. Thank God! And so we changed to our running outfits and did some stretching before we run on the oval. They say, the oval's size was 800 meters total. So for someone like me who's running a 3KM -distance, I need to complete roughly 4 rounds on the oval. If my Math is right, 1000 meters is equal to 1 KM. And for someone like Mr. Jameson who's running a 16KM-distance, he needs to complete 20 full rounds on the oval. Again, Mr. Jameson, that's 20 and neither 7 nor 8 only! You have to trim down your tummy boo! Hahaha. There's that heaviness that slows down every stride you make and you easily get tired. Get rid of that baggage mate! You were a graceful runner with full of speed before. Well, in case anything happens to you during the actual run, I'm there nman..(knock on wood) hihihi. After finishing a few rounds, I decided to rest and sat on the bleachers and guess what everytime Jameson passes by, all I can see is him singing. I was like, was he rehearsing his vocal cords instead??? You should've told me it's a vocal warm-up and not a fun run warm-up, we could've gone to Karaoke Republic instead! Hahaha. Thanks to Emil's sour gummy worms, it kept me going! hehehe

LOVE.

While we were resting on the bleachers, we had a discussion again. It's about love....that's right L-O-V-E...but oops!, don't get me wrong, it's not like about him and me..wahaha!...it's about having experienced the most painful thing in love and yet you still hold on to that concept of love. It all started when told a story about his 2 friends who have been a couple for 10 years but broke up. Sad ending. But they were able to find their own new lovers in a very short period of time. Interesting how they were able to move on that fast. Per Mr Jameson, the other party was not used to being alone. In a way I've learned a few things from Mr Jameson. (so you're now the Love Guru??). Top 3 lessons of love for the day:

1. Learn from the past. Learn a lesson from your previous relationship.
2. Don't be a cheap product who is being patronized by a lot of consumers. (Hirap i-explain here pero gets ko..hehehe)
3. Doing s_x (censored! bka ma-MTRCB ako), doesn't need emotions all the time. If you like the person then go for it. (ok, I won't preserve myself anymore hahaha)


But at the end...Yes, I'm still the hopeless romantic. 

So much for the cheezy stuff. As an icebreaker should I say, we thought of names to call each other. While mine was Beh, Boo, Mahal ko...Mr Jameson prefers Cutie, Lover boy, Sexy, Hottie..wahaha...sooo conceited!..I'd rather call you Tayguts!!!

Well, so much about love and name-calling, our day ended with a refreshing Halo-Halo with Ice Cream in Chowking. My mate was in a rush to go home so as not to miss the flop Variety Show, S.A.S. (joke lng sa flop wahaha).
