Easy Breezy

First off, I want to give myself a pat on the back for having been able to run nonstop for more than 20 minutes yesterday. Yey me! It was a first, let me tell you all. Haha Well, I sort of have this breathing problem every time I run that I always seem to be too conscious of my breathing and tend to not breathe normally. Does that make sense? I hope it does. Hahaha Well, for the longest time, I have been trying to fathom the proper way of breathing whilst running that I even asked my marathon-running friends about it. Crazy? I know. Sorry for that. Hahaha Well anyway, yesterday, whoala! I was able to to figure out not only breathing properly, but jogging without pausing. Such a feat. I'm so proud. Hahahahaha

It takes around 20 minutes by foot to get to the place I'm comfortable running at. It's a bit far from our house and I prefer walking which also serves as a warm-up. All in all, I spent more than an hour to-, back-, and jogging at Ponticelli. Ha! I still feel marvelous until now.

I guess the sky has to do something with it. I got too busy looking up the magnificent vast space above that I haven't had time to worry about breathing. Best thing that happened yesterday, if you were to ask me. :) Anyway, here are some snippets of my work-out chronicles. :)

This has to be my favorite shot yesterday. Lookie! The sky's red :)

 The red sky being more pronounced

 Some hues of lavender were present too!

 Sunset during the first work-out day. I simply love the province

 Some more of the pretty sky and look, this time it's pink!

Simple things like these help make me appreciate life more.

Who am I to give up when everything's just this beautiful?

God must really be awesome.

I just thought that this post just gotta have some music to back it up. And well, hey guys, I really loved this rendition of Put Your Records On. Such a wonderful song with such amazing artists to sing it with. This video has got me repeatedly listening to it on the loooooooop. So cute. So girly. Just flimsy. Nuff said. Hope you guys enjoy! :)

Hay. Life is beautiful. I feel so blessed. Thank you, Lord for sunsets here in the Philippines are always beyond amazing. :)

Not Miserable at all

Too much emotion all at once.

I do hope that people see beyond the love story this magnificent tale tells. It speaks so much of the culture and of the people at that time - the suffering, their pain, joys, victories and battles. Such a rich story that I can't even begin how to describe. Never in my life have I imagined that I'd be able to encounter a story that can depict almost all (if not all) of the forms of love. Hands down too to the director, cast, crew and all of the people that made the movie possible. It is nice to make this generation be reminded that not all what seems to be apparent right now is what's all there is. There was once a time when people worry not only of petty things such as academics, money, and love, but of bigger things such as their own lives per se. It's a big world and what's in front of you may not be exactly what you'll get beyond an arm's reach.

I am thankful for having been able to encounter this story at this point of my life. Victor Hugo really never fails.

“Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.

For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
