  1. What is the ideal distance for a beginner runner?

     

    Thank you.

     

    Depende sa kaya bro, na definite distance since depende sa baseline or kakayanan mo. Ang mahalaga is may gradual improvement at consistency. Meaning run regularly like at least once a week then increase distance. Rule of thumb, wag pilitin or biglain otherwise, injury kalalabasan. Factor din dito age at lifestyle.

  2. For me traffic is a complex problem that a simplistic solution like wider road is enough to solve. To start with:

    • Yes a competent, forward-looking and strong-willed leader or gov't agency head would help or simply someone whose head is at the right place that listens to sound advise from capable consultants or advisers.
    • A road map in doing so always usually helps in terms of not coming up with a quick fix but also come up with medium and long term plans.
    • Next would be changing the culture of people in terms of road courtesy, environment-friendly transport ie. bikes or pedestrianization or discourage the blind love for car ownership among others. This can be done via a holistic marketing plan as well as policies or laws that obviously needs to be implemented to the T like making it more expensive to own a car or requiring parking to own one or requiring a specific space allocation for commercial establishments to operate or simply updating of coming up with a sound land use plan and zoning ordinance.
    • Obviously, a good infrastructure would help specifically coming up with a reliable, safe, convenient and affordable mass public transport that goes hand-in-hand with the culture change. Coming up with bike lanes and safe bike parking areas could be included here as well as having pedestrians utilized by people and not owned by street vendors. Instead of building more expressways that encourages car ownership, the railway program should have been continued if not expanded. Obviously, trains carry more people than cars (please refer to the image below for visual explanation).
    • Decentralization of growth nodes also helps to decongestant traffic. Having a central sea port, airport, government hubs, military camps, schools, commercial centers and residential areas (including exclusive subdivisions) all concentrated within Metro Manila explains this one. Plans like utilizing ports in Clarks and Batangas as well as the airport of Subic is a no-brainer if only our political leadership can move past the thinking that this was the brainchild of the previous administration. Thus, a good roadmap always helps.

    Wala nakong ibang maisip so i'll leave the rest to you come up with additional inputs. In a way, WE, the voting public are somewhat guilty of electing the same old clowns to come up with shitty, knee-jerk solution/projects that does not add value or do justice to the taxes that are somewhat being robbed from us. #mytowcentsworth

  3. I miss my old work gang wherein we used to travel and hang around a lot and talk about stuff like girls, basketball or play poker. When you're young, you always tend to take for granted certain things and simply assume that there's always tomorrow and that everything lasts forever. Well, the group has been scattered at various parts of the globe now and it feels like an eternity from the last time that the group was complete.

  4. Kaka miss talaga ang Cebu.

     

    The STK restaurant uptown.

    Or the STK restsurant in Mactan.

     

    The newly opened restaurant called "lantaw" where ambiance is perfect may it be by the sea or above the hills.

     

    The Brian's ribs in Casa Verde.

     

    The "inato" bbq in Larsian.

     

    The amazing night out at Vudu, Formo or bars in mango avenue or in IT park.

     

    Oh i love Cebu.

     

    Nakakagutom lalo post mo tongue.gif Will you volunteer as my tour guide pag naligaw ako dyan and you happen to be around?

  5. I think it's human nature na hindi tayo marunong makuntento. At natural sa atin na ma-curious or magsawa or maumay. Best example ay yung palipat lipat nang trabaho only to move to another company with the same job but of almost the same payscale. Funny, we just really needed to breathe once in a while.

     

    Pero alam mo, sa mga nag-aabroad, common ang ganyan. Sa tingin ko, nangyayari din yun sa mga naiiwan. What I meant is I've seen long distance relationships where the one abroad became closer to his/her partner. Siguro kasi dahil kanya kanya tayong ng reaction sa paglabas ng comfort zone ntin. Kaya ang tendency, mas nakikipacommunicate - skype, ym ym, viber, chaton, kakaotalk (lol) , bbm etc.

     

    Well, nakakatuwang di ka nagsasalita ng tapos. Pero base sa statement mo, masasabi ko na at some point, open ka pa rin talaga sa thought na yun. Hindi ka naman nag-iisa.

     

    Agree with your work analogy, at times you never really get to appreciate that you already had and only get to find out afterwards in a point of no return circumstance na.

     

    Also, its a personal belief of mine that its pointless to have an open-ended outlook at things in life since what is ahead an infinite world of possibilities. As you've earlier raised, looking back at your views a decade or 2 decades ago, it has changed in leaps and bounds so moving forward, its probably bound to change. No point in saying no now and only to break your word after a couple of years based on the ready justification you'll have and depending on the circumstance that you'd be in.

     

    You have a good thread down here by the way, to think that the question seem very simply enough.

  6. "The grass is alwaysgreener on the other side of the fence"

     

    This is a natural tendency of people irregardless of gender. And it would usually depend on ones level of contentment, lifestyle, self esteem and what not. People simply make up excuses to justify ones actions but in reality, its really ones natural tendency to wish for a life that somebody is having or look at a certain time slice of another person and hope that one could live that life for eternity which usually never happens in the real world. I emphasized the gender part earlier because when I had a short stint in Abu Dhabi 5 years ago,adultery is rampant among our kababayan there (including the opposite sex)based on the fact that they have all the time in the world (after work), are lonely or seek companion, wants to experience something new, lives on packed coed houses/apartments and the fact that sex simply is gratifying or there's a probability of one. Personally, I think the reason that men are associated to being one is cultural since there seem to be an unwritten rule that you are"The MAN" if you still get to have some variety on the sides even if you are tied-up with someone else and yet a woman tend to be labelled as a slut if they open up about it and therefore tend to bottle it up and keep it a secret.

     

    Now to answer the question, yes I've cheated on my previous relationships and I've paid the price of its consequence. But there have been points in my life where i was content with what I have or there simply were more pressing matters that requires ones energy to be focused to that the thought of its probable consequence is not worth pondering upon to begin with. Do I still do it now and will I continue to do it in the future? Well I won't be a hypocrite to say never, after all, I do still have my needs and being separated doesn't make it less convenient.
