“Even when destiny really wants to accomplish something, it can’t do it alone. You still have to go to that restaurant. You still have to show up. You still have to build a bridge to the one you love.” — Charlie Bellow from the film My Sassy Girl
My best friend, Jayson, asked me to join him to run many times before. But, since I haven’t any rubber shoes to use then, I simply decline. Once I got a hold onto a pair, though, I started practicing. He had me join Kenny’s Open ‘09 Urbanite Run held on his birthday last 15th of August. It was my first ever run, but I managed to have the guts to do 10 kilometers despite being a little overweight. Basically, I finished, albeit with less than mediocre results. Still, I’m glad I did it, and it will definitely be done again.

I’m still pondering on whether to post my race photos or not. They’re really unflattering.
Still recovering from a something that left me with rashes for a couple of weeks, MM visited me at home! Surprised, still, even though she told me days ago she will. Oh, now I miss her again already!
“I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to.” — William Thatcher from the film A Knight’s Tale
“There’s a certain way a man stares at a woman he loves. The man looks like a boy on his birthday. And he treats the woman as if she were a gift that he’s waited so long to open and now he can’t wait to see what the treasure is inside.” — Patty from the film 100 Girls
Wait for me in your happy place. I miss you, Bes. I love you.
This screenshot was taken more than a month ago. I’m cleaning up my user directory when I found this. Definitely not going to trash. :D
“Maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment, you never ever gave up hope.” — Gigi from the film He’s Just Not That Into You
