After a long hiatus (I backpacked Mindanao for 16 days) just want to start up this blog again.

Just a quick note of thanks to RUNNR for their Twitter contest that won me Php500 GC for my tweet:

@RUNNRstore Coach Sid Vildosola inspires me a lot kasi even putol ung kamay nya, lumalaban parin sya sa mga walang kapansanan.nagcocoach pa!

When I claimed the GC at RUNNR Trinoma, I bought a RUNNR shirt right away.

Muchos Gracias RUNNR!

Hope to hear from you!

Going Green with BIOMOGO

Brooks have taken the long-lasting cushioning of their MoGo midsole and made it more environmentally friendly by adding a non-toxic, natural additive to the MoGo compound that encourages anaerobic to munch away once it hits an active, enclosed landfill. In short, when your shoe retires and goes to the trash, the MoGo ingredient in the sole would activate and will accelerate the biogradation process from the usual 1,000 years (for a regular shoe sole) to just 20 years (BioMoGo). I’m in support for this kind of development! Way to go Brooks!

Shoes with DNA technology

DNA is a groundbreaking, patent-pending cushioning material that provides a customized ride for runners of all sizes and speeds. DNA responds to your every step, dispersing impact and providing ideal comfort and protection as the pace and surface change.

• Highly viscous non-Newtonian (non-linear) polymer fluid 
• Engineered at the molecular level to provide adaptable performance for Brooks shoes
• Patent-pending formulation and application

Something to look forward to, right… Me? I still want that T7 Racer. I heard that the new model is designed specifically for triathletes because you can easily slip on and off the shoes.

Pogi ng shoes diba?

When runners relax, they watch a movie…

I was invited to watch Fast Five by Teleserv last Wednesday. And the movie was awesome! Thanks to Teleserv, seems like you guys want to imitate the quickness of Vin Diesel by delivering our documents like Birth Certificate, OEC or an appointment with the DFA for our passport (which I will be needing soon).

Teleserv or Pilipinas Teleserv, Inc. (Teleserv) began operations in June 2000 as a multi‐channel contact center provider. The company conceptualized and developed proprietary services for various Philippine government agencies that have revolutionized the way citizens transact with government. These services have changed the way Filipino transact with the government.

Teleserving the nation.

I am reminded of how I was able to get my Birth Certificate when I was applying for a Passport really fast years ago. I just called 737-1111 and they delievered the NSO-certified birth certificate just in time. Now they also offering a live chat via birthcertificates.com.ph.

Why go through the long queue lines (like when you are getting the loot bag or free photo from a 10,000-runners race) when getting your documents if you can accomplish it in the comforts of your own house. You can watch the video to have a better look at what I’m talking about:

So if you need your NSO-certified Birth Certificate, OEC (for OFWs) or an appointment with the DFA for your passport concerns these are the contact infos:

Thanks again Teleserv and I will be contacting you soon!
