Condura Run: Blast from Funanimous



One of the best run I ever had.

Organization has always been a question, but with this one... Positivity defeats Negative. It was a pretty organized event, though its not that perfect still, but that made the flow very smooth and all our moneys worth. We are all smiling :)

Despite the good event, it did not result well on my running time. It was 1:27:56, as compared to my previous Book Run where I was 7 minutes faster... I had to blame it on my sprainy knees and to my alarm clock that was no succeessful of waking me up, that result for me to have no warm-up before the run at all. It was bad, and my knees could tell... but what is good about it, I still manage to make it to the finish line.

A lot are really waiting for this run, for it offers 3Km, 5Km, 10Km, 15Km, 21Km and 41Km which is a full marathon... definitly not all run event can host a 41KM run, and believe it or not.... there is pool of participants for that death run category. I have to give them my salute, 10KM feels like hell to me that day, and they manage to do my scale 4x and more. I adore them... in time.. I know, I'll be running with them at the same length.

Horay to Condura Run. See you again next year!

Mr. Funanimous Talks about: BEST Valentines Gift

It's Red Month once again. And all of us shares the same "annual dillemma", no other than thinking the best gift for our other half.

BEST is relative. Some defines best as something Expensive, others define it according to budget but, to some it should be relaxing but a lot defines it as something Unique. And we all wanted to be that.

Let me help you identify the possible gifts we could offer our other half this Valentines Day.

Let me start of with the most traditional and mainstream gift for the red month. This is so popular that it becomes the symbol of the month of love. This goes to all the men who wants to make their ladies feel beautiful and special, but not necessarily, I dont mind recieving some of these... lolz. This might seem old and traditional, but the effect and feedback has always been the same. This is effective!

1. Boquet of Flowers and A Box of Chocolates:- Make the night as romantic as the color of roses and as sweet as chocolates.




No happy couple deserves to starve on Valentines Day. And to be full is not just the aim but what I am pertaining to is Good Food. Please! Please! Please! Go over budget than the usual food when the time strikes 7:00 PM. This is my number 2.

2. Special Dinner Date- Make a reservation on the most romantic restaurant that serves both of your favorites. Highlight on "Reserve", i am sure you don't want to run out of seat and wait at the lounge. Make it perfect this time.




To couples who seem very busy and find Valentimes day as a time for solem moments and relaxation, my number 3 is totally not a bad idea.

3. Spa and Massage- Spend the day to unwind and get the chance to talk while having some massage. Or take the time to look destress and pretty the next day, while having that body scrub and a pot of green tea for revive.




Unique! Unique! Unique! Well basically, you should know more... Probably a self-painted portrait of your partner, home baked cake or paintball to active couples, but here is my suggestion. Who would have thought that you can name a constellation/star after your partner? yeah! you can. And this is one unique gift.

4. Name a constellation after your partner- Let the whole world know that he/she is special. Own the stars on valentines day.




Those are some of my suggestions. I bet all of those would work for me at least... I just have to choose which one to pursue. Aside for the mentioned things above, Come February 14, no fights just pure LOVE.

BOOK RUN- Mr. Funanimous setting a record

January 31, 2010, after several months of resting from fun run's & marathon's come BOOK RUN, my first run of the year.



Indeed, its a run for a cause. 450 bucks might sound expensive to tire myself 10kilometers. It felt so good knowing that I am running for something worth while that made my pay worthit and inexpensive.



Book for those who needs it. Pro education.

Aside from the successful registration of this run are couple of celebrities made the event a full blast. Ding-dong Dantes who is the face of the event & the one heading the charity, Coach Rio, Carl Guevarra, Say Alonzo, Mirriam Quiambao, Luis Alandy & Marian Rivera. Need I say more? Was able to take pictures w/ some of them, with me in it. :)





Mr. Funanimous setting a good record for hiself, absolutely record breaking. As of the unofficial text message from the organizers, run 10 Kilometers for 1 hour and 20 minutes. I really thought that almost 3 months of not running woulf effect bad, but I really think I had enough rest to prepare for this. I am in good condition.



All in all it was a fair run. Good flow of program, smooth sailing & star sudded. Minus the shortage of Plastic cups on water stations & un-guided route.

Next in line: CONDURA RUN, February 7. See you runners!!!
