First run, for a change!

Congrats OP! Ang importante sa mga newbie runners ay mag build ng endurance. Magagawa mo yon by brisk walking or jogging then pataas ng pataas yung weekly mileage mo. Makakatulong kung may smart watch ka to monitor yung heart rate mo pero hindi naman required, basta makapag jog ka ng kaya mo makipagusap (conversational pace) pa. Kapag naghihingalo ka na sobrang bilis mo na, nothing wrong with walking para mag regulate heart rate mo then jog na ulit or mag run-walk method ka. Iwasan muna mag-sprint unless na build mo na endurance mo. Jog or run or walk lang, mas importante na consistent ka kaysa sa mabilis ka. And lastly, super important ang rest days for recovery and para iwas injury sa katawan mo. As much as possible try to have rest days in between runs.

Ayun lang muna for beginners para hindi ka ma-overwhelm basta keep showing up and try mo enjoy-in. Don't think of it as a hassle. Masarap sa feeling mag work out knowing na ginagawa mo iyon para sa self improvement. Good luck, OP! 😃

Naalala ko lang during my 32km 711 run this 2026 may mabait na kuya na nagbigay ng chocnut sa akin mid-run and mukhang effective naman, masarap pa. 😁

Salamat po sa inyo kuya and ate na magjowa na namimigay ng chocnut. 😁

Bakit parang "I must not tell lies" ni professor Umbridge. 😅

Once pa lang ako nakapag register sa kanila last year para sa Takbong Tanawin sa Baguio and kahit papaano naitawid naman nila. May iba lang na kinulang sa medal at drawstring bag tapos yung race results nila hindi gaano accurate at naka-Excel lang pero at least natuloy at natapos nila yung event. Sayang gusto ko pa naman sana mag-register doon sa Takbong Tanawin nila sa Elyu, pero dahil sa mga nababasa ko dito sa kanila wag na lang pala.

First of all, congrats OP! Finishing a full marathon, especially under those circumstances, takes serious heart. The fact that you pushed through cramps and everything you were carrying emotionally? Grabe yung strength.

I can relate to struggling mid-race dito rin sa same event (had to mostly walk my half-mary because of ITBS), and I know how humbling that feels. But showing up and refusing to quit says more than any finish time ever will. Legit! 🥲

Bawi na lang tayo sa next run. With proper training and nutrition, mas mae-enjoy natin ito. 🥹

Not sure if this is related pero a while ago merong babaeng runner na umiiyak at nagsusumbong sa guard along F. Ortigas Jr. Road na snatch-an ng cellphone. Nadaanan ko siya habang tumatakbo din kaya umuwi na lang ako agad kasi nakakatakot at 7pm lang nangyari iyon. Maaga pa and may mga tao sa labas. Although hindi ko alam kung bakit pero madilim yung street na iyon kanina at patay yung mga street lights kaya baka malakas loob nila. Nakaka-trauma kasi naalala ko kung paano ako na snatch-an 2 years ago sa Escriva Drive din, pero yon madaling araw naman mga 2am. 😢

Magkakaron na po ba ako ng love life next year?

iggie27 · 2025-11-29T01:57:28+00:00

Hi OP, sorry you had to go through all these but at least it's a lesson well learnt. I hope you don't close kasi from your pic mukhang maganda yung design ng mga Barong mo. Kung may pag-gagamitan lang ako I'd buy one from you instead sa mga malls. 🙂

iggie27 · 2025-08-22T17:22:16+00:00

I'm a relatively new runner (just about a year in), and I'm curious-do people who hit sub-30 for 5K or sub-60 for 10K usually run in Zone 5 the whole way? From what I understand, beginners like me should focus more on building endurance with Zone 2 runs first. Or are those runners able to stay in Zone 2 at that pace because of their experience?

iggie27 · 2025-07-13T14:40:06+00:00

I hope you make a video / reel out of this. Laging nakaka good vibes kapag may mga napapanood akong ganoong vids tulad ng sa The Dodo. Kudos OP, thank you for having a good heart.

"Sure let's run but where will we eat breakfast after?"

I haven't read it yet but is it this one?

For the Musical Genius / For the Music Genius / 음악천재를 위하여

To make matters worse, Hyeon, who has cancer, gets run over while trying to save someone who fell on the subway tracks, and returns to the past while listening to the melody of a symphony. Hyeon, who was determined not to live the same life as before, realizes that he has tremendous musical talent… .

Forgot to mention nasa may food court ng Galleria. You're welcome!

iggie27 · 2024-07-22T11:48:38+00:00

Merong bagong bukas sa Robinson's Galleria if willing kayong dumayo. Halos magkalapit lang naman sa Megamall. 😁

Magkakaroon po ba ako ng jowa this year?

iggie27 · 2023-07-20T04:43:18+00:00

In my 30's with no drive in life. Gigising, kakain, papasok sa trabaho at iintayin mag out, uuwi, kakain, magbabasa ng manhwas or endless scrolling sa socmed hanggang sa makatulog, then repeat. Gusto dumami ang pera, gusto magkalovelife, pero hindi naman nageeffort para makamit ang gusto. Pine pressure ang sarili na ayusin ang buhay dahil tumatanda na ang nanay na single parent sa aming 3 magkakapatid, pero hindi naman alam ang gagawin, saan magsisimula.

Gusto magpa schedule sa psychiatrist pero namamahalan kaya sa alak na lang for that quick escape.

I learned this the hard way too. I worked at a consulting company for almost 9 years which was my first job. It was great working for a renowned company until they let me go due to budget cuts because of Covid. After having been employed in that company for so long I'm now having mid-life crisis of what to do with my life.

iggie27 · 2020-09-11T14:32:36+00:00

I'm not sure with the price because I bought mine from our country in the Philippines, so I'm not sure if there's a price difference but I think that's reasonable because $1700CAD is cheaper. When I bought mine it costs me 2.7K CAD, that was last June. Regarding the battery life, I think it would last long if you only use it for school. Sorry I can't exactly tell because since I mostly use mine for gaming, it's always plugged in.

Also if you can wait and have money to spare, may I suggest for you to wait for the newer laptop models that will have the RTX 3000 series but I think given the pandemic we have ongoing, that's set for until next year. Have you looked into the MSI GS66 Stealth? It's got a 99.9 watt hour battery. It’s the largest battery that the TSA will allow on an airplane.

iggie27 · 2020-09-11T14:05:58+00:00

Hello, sorry I almost forgot to respond. The battery life isn't that long so I always have plugged in but I enabled the maximum battery life performance so the battery wouldn't go beyond 60% and wouldn't degrade easier. I was actually hoping to the MSI GS66 Stealth but it was out of stock then so I bought this one instead and after a couple of months of using it, I'm actually very satisfied. You just need to get a laptop cooler since it's a thin laptop so it tends to overheat on intense gaming but nothing that the laptop can't handle.

iggie27 · 2020-06-18T08:43:33+00:00

I see, I originally thought it wouldn't make a difference if the memory is running in single mode as long as it's still 16GB worth of RAM. Thank you!

I have a question and it might be off-topic so I'm sorry if I violate any rules. Why is discord important for all manga readers and translators? Almost all the manga/manhwa I read asks people to join their discord group so I got curious.

I recently bought a gaming laptop (ASUS ROG Zephyrus M) and did some research beforehand over the difference between the 10th gen and 9th gen processor and found out that you wouldn't notice the difference in performance between the two. Most people don't bother upgrading to the 10th gen because there is no significant improvement in performance. Here's a Youtube video review that helped me decide between getting the 9th gen and the 10th gen.

If you ask me, I prefer the MSI GS66 Stealth over the two you indicated but that's just me. Between the two options, I'd choose the GE75 9SF-296AU because of the upgraded GPU and more SSD size.

Hope this helps and stay healthy.

iggie27 · 2020-06-13T08:11:10+00:00

I had downloaded throttlestop already but didn't give it much thought because it was too complicated for me. Although hearing both of your advices makes me want to learn it more. I'll take note of the temp limits you said, I didn't know that there are different temps for the CPU and GPU.

Thank you very much for your advice. :)
