Seven Things
Although the 7-day No Mirror Challenge was over and done with 2 weeks ago, we all got together yesterday for a lovely press lunch at Madison Grill to have a peek at everyone’s videos and discuss the different aspects of the challenge.
I thought it might be fitting to list seven things I learned or realized from this seven-day feat:
I’m addicted to mirrors. (Are there mirror patches...

Kicked Ass
I can never really explain the fascination I have with Mixed Martial Arts. I used to be a ballet dancer for around 18 years of my life and most people think that it is worlds away from Muay Thai but it is actually not. First of all, you need to be a master of your own anatomy and have a keen understanding of physics. You need to know which muscles will help you move to your advantage and give...

Map Your Own Run →
I LOVE this site.
Plot your running routes over mountains (view elevation), through the woods (topo maps), and speeding through the city (street level views) with just a few mouse clicks. Once your running map is complete you can quickly view it in 3D, satellite maps, or share it with friends.

Long Live McQueen
The weekend seemed to be all about the Preview Best Dressed Ball. For weeks prior, the fashion fanatics of Manila have been planning for the perfect Alexander McQueen inspired outfit to wear. I, on the other hand, had considered boycotting this event because I didn’t have the outfit (yet) and I was worried about my face.

No meetings were scheduled so I really did not care so much how presentable my face was. I ran a few errands on the way home then I was done for the day. Pretty much a snooze fest.
The strange part was being home. In my room, the desk...

Goodbye, Mirror Face
For as long as I can remember, people have teased me about my “Mirror Face.” Apparently, I make a very peculiar face while looking in the mirror that’s note-worthy enough for people to talk about. (It really is some what famous) I welcome the jokes like a good sport but I really can’t help but wonder - Doesn’t “everybody” have a mirror face? Or am I the...
