TReK - Trails to Empower Kids

Got this e-mail from my friend and co-Team Boring core Mark Fer Castillo.

It is for a worthy cause... let's extend our help this Christmas season...

Dear Friends:

For the past four years, the generosity of our colleagues, family and friends have allowed our group, Trails to Empower Kids or TREK to successfully hold outreach activities to children in far-flung areas. We have delivered much needed-school supplies, books, reference materials, visual aids and even construction materials for comfort rooms and water system to schools located in the mountains of Itogon, Casiguran, Tanudan, Pudtol, Subic Town, San Luis, Kibungan and Dilasag.

As we celebrate our anniversary this December, we renew again our commitment to continuously help children who live in isolated areas and be an efficient channel of help for other like-minded individuals and group who want to help give these students better education. We will commemorate this by revisiting the young agtas of Aurora, who study at the Sentrong Paaralan ng mga Agta located at Barangay Cozo, Casiguran, Aurora. Last May, 2008, our group had the privilege of meeting these student and we were able to share with them donations including school supplies, generator set, television and DVD player. On December 10, we will come back bringing some school supplies, clothing materials, food items and other items they may need.

Sentrong Paaralan ng mga Agta is about an hour hike from the barangay center, which is about 12 hours away from Manila. The school does not use the same system we are used to due to limited resources, plus the fact that these students are not used to "formal" education. The agtas are generally nomadic people. We were able to bring them some useful materials last 2008 but most of them were either consumed or ravaged by a fire.

We appeal again for your generosity. You can help us bring Christmas cheers to the young agtas by donating cash or other useful materials (school supplies, sporting equipment, food items, etc.), helping us with the transportation requirements of the project or by telling your friends about TREK. For information, please log on to www.trailstoempowerkids.com.

Very truly yours,

Mark Fer Castillo

So you want a Race Kit?

Nangyari na ba sa iyo na may gusto ka takbuhan na race, kaso wala ka pang-register?


Gusto mo malaman kung paano ka makaka-kuha ng race kit?

Image: graur razvan ionut / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Ito yung legal, try mo...

1. Mag-ipon at mag-register (kaso, magastos ka kaya wala ka pang-bayad)

2. Sumali sa mga pa-contest. (Marami dyan sa paligid, buksan mo lang ang mga mata)

3. Magpa-sponsor (ang taray!!!)






Kaso, kung desperado. Di kita kukunsintihin. Ika nga, "Try at your own risk".

Image: chanpipat / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

1. Mag-matyag at mag-abang ng mga hindi makakatabo. (kapalan ng konti ang mukha at hingin ang kanilang kit).

2. Mag abang ng mga nag "Buy and Sell". May ibang runners na maaga nag-register kaso, biglang hindi makakatakbo... at binebenta ang kanilang race kit.

3. Mag-Bandit. (ginawa ko na minsan ito... although may baon naman akong sariling hydration at hindi kumuha sa water stations, di ko pa din gusto ang pakiramdam. di ko na inulit)


Sa tatlong nasa itaas... eto ang pwedeng maging problema... Walang insurance. Kung may mangyari sa iyo sa race, walang sagot sa iyo ang organizer.


4. Kapalan ang mukha at mag-gate crash sa blogcons. Btw, hindi lahat ng blogcons eh namimigay ng free race kit... :)



Pero seriously... if wala talaga pang-register. Marami naman kalsadang pwedeng libreng takbuhan. 

Bakit Why?!?

"Don't take the first step, if you're planning to cheat... " - Anonymous

Actually, imbento ko lang yang quote na nasa itaas... hehehe.

Kidding aside, kung binabalak lang naman mangdaya sa karera, sana huwag na lang sumali...

Mas matatanggap pa ng lahat ang mag DNF tayo, kesa sa mandaya...

Maraming makaka-kita sa iyo. Akala mo lang wala, pero meron, meron, meron!


Dahil naging saksi na ako sa ganitong pangyayari....



50K Ultra 2010...

Tumakbo ako noon sa isang lugar sa may Visayas.

Matarik ang ruta, na-tempt ako mamulot ng mga putol na sanga ng puno para gawing tungkod. Pero di ko ginawa, pakiramdam ko kasi pandaraya din yun. Patag naman kasi yun ruta, matarik nga lang.

May naabutan ako dalawang mama. Ang kaso, magkatali ang kanilang mga baywang. Hinihila ng isang manong ang isa pa... Para sa akin, ang lagyan ng tali ang baywang at magpahila ay isang uri na din ng pandaraya.




42K Milo Marathon 2009...

Pagkatapos ko tumakbo/lumakad ng 42KM. Binalikan ko yung ibang kaibigan mananakbo para bigyan ng suporta. Pag-sapit ko sa tapat ng Aristocrat, binati ko si Runner X ng.. "Okay ka pa?" At sumenyas sya ng "thumbs-up".

Nun aking naabutan ang mga kaibigan, na-i-kwento ko sa kanila na nakasalubong ko si Runner X. Dito ko nalaman na nag-quit na pala ito at sumakay ng bus sa may bandang Buendia.

Kaso, eto ang malupit. Kumuha ng medal si Runner X at proud na proud pa na ibinandera ito...
