A run for a cause, organized by Philippine National Police (PNP). It was held last Sunday, June 10th, 2007 at 6:00AM. Supposed to be it should be at 5:00AM. It seemed to me that the organizer didn't have good preparation for the event. Imagine, we ( Tony, Neriz and I) there before 5am and it took us more than an hour just to get our number! there are hundreds of people who joined the event and they already assigned number to each participant. So what happened was that, when we asked for our number, it took them like 20-20 minutes to find our printed number. I really didn't like the idea of us falling in line waiting for eternity just to register. So I told the policemen assigned on the table that it would be better if they would just get our form, write whatever number is available and arranged them in their after the event. Good thing they were open-minded and they just distributed the numbers to us even if we didn't get our original number. The registration was a mess. The place was so crowded that for minute I regretted why I ever registered to be part of that event. But thinking about the real purpose of that it made me realized that I'm still lucky that I'm healthy and very much capable of running. When we were running, I couldn't run fast, I easily felt tired. Well, I didn't run for quite some time so my knees turned weak. We didn't win the race, but we were not also the last. It was fun to be running along the road where we could see ships,boats and ferries few meters away. The South Reclamation Road is located along the sea going to Cebu City port so it's a great view. After the run we had a breakfast at Chowking in Lahug branch. We met Leaf at Neo Neo. The staff was really friendly and accommodating, specially the manager...
