Alarm Clock

At 5:30 am, the stinging of mosquitos woke me up. Since I couldn't exactly kill them, especially considering I could barely open my eyes, I did what any sensible person would do.

I went back to sleep.

Exercise

Woke up again at around 7 am. I was curious to see how unfit I was since it's been a long time I last exercised. I decided to run, at least what passes off for running (or jog).

Warm Ups

Never exercise without doing warmups. Unless you want sore muscles when you're done. Because my PE several semesters ago was running, well, let's just say just because I can run today does not necessarily mean I'll be able to run again the next day.

Around the Village

Well, I ran counterclockwise around the village. Of course just as I was about to exit our gate, the driver was there cleaning the car. And smoking a cigarette. I was already choking before I even started.

Suffice to say the villagers are surprised to see a guy running around so early in the morning (at least their eyes are all on me, until a convertible passes by me or the next luxury car). I mean mom jogs in the evening, probably because it's cooler. I want to feel the warmth of the sun. And sweat. That and if I exercise any other time, I'll probably puke my breakfast/lunc/dinner, so the optimal time for me to run is when I've just woken up since presumably, there's nothing for me to heave.

I eventually gave up running around the village when I was... a street away from home. Which is just as well since walking served as a cool down for my exercise. My heart was palpitating and I hadn't achieved second wind yet, although trust me, I was spitting phlegm all day (while there is a ban on spitting, well, I'm not SARS-infected), especially because of the exhaust the cars were leaving as well as smoke from cigarettes (you just can't imagine how many smokers there are at 7:30 am).

At least I wasn't running on EDSA...

At Home

My respiration was at a rapid rate. Luckily, there wasn't any lactic acid build up in my muscles. I'm consuming as much carbohydrates I need to recover my strength. Enough of the technical jargon. I collapsed at the sofa, took a bath, and ate a hearty breakfast. I eat when I need to.

Blogger!

Well, looks like there's a revamp. And it looks cool too!

Calling D&D Enthusiasts

I was going to rally people interested in purchasing the 3.5 books of D&D since ADB (A Different Bookstore) has a policy of offering 15% discount to those ordering ten or more books but I'm too lazy to coordinate (not to mention money has to paid upfront and I really don't want to handle P15,000 or so cash). But it's nice to know I have the idea. =)
