Registered to Great Eastern Women's Run 21km

My 3rd time to join in Great Eastern Women's Run and my second time to join 21km but this time it's in daytime. :) Well... good luck to me. Target to finish this race as early as I can because I don't want to feel the heat of the sun. Remember Grace, this is day time not the same as the sundown marathon. Excited to join for the 21km finisher shirt. Lol! :)

Throwback Travel - Japan

Since I saw a lot of Throwback Thursday posts in FB and twitter, I decided to do my own throwback travel post too. (gaya gaya lang ang peg) haha! This week, I want to feature our Japan trip! :) We went there 29 December 2011 until 1st week of Jan 2012. It has always been my dream to go to Japan to see my sister and her family who are currently residing there. After 6 yrs, finally I managed to see them especially my nieces (Katkat & Kakai) and nephew (Kenzo). They are all grown up now! Time really flies. My nanay was also there that time for a vacation. So it was a good way to celebrate our New Year with them.

We took Singapore Airlines since maarte ako. Lol! Actually I'm not! Let's just say that I'm more comfortable with good quality airlines rather than budget airlines for a long haul flight (parang ang layo no? haha) Ok... ok... I must admit SIA is one of my favorite airlines! Who doesn't like SIA anyway? Although it's a little bit pricey but yet it's safer. And dun na ako sa safe no. :P Arrived at Nagoya Airport and fetched by my nanay, sister and her family. It was very cold since it's winter time. Look how my nanay dressed up. Wahahaha!  

Kakai, Katkat, Moi, Kuya Eric, Ate Sol, Kenzo, Nanay

Went to the park near the house of Ate. 

And went to their supermarket. I looove their market! They sell fresh vegetables, seafood and meat. 

And my favorite part! We went to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea. Wanna go back again!

Our first time to experience snow!! Yey! And yes we did that snowman! Epic! Haha!

We really had a good time in Japan. I'm really looking forward to visit again. I'm actually thinking to live there too. I like the environment, very relaxed. Really different from the environment here in SG. If  God permits, I really wanna settle there with my Ate and my own family. Well... will see how it goes. :) For now, I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to be there. Thank you Lord! :)

I Trust You

God whatever comes my way, I will trust You. :)

Jurong Lake Run 2013

Last Sunday was the most awaited run for this year, the Jurong Lake Run. It was something special because most of us in our CG participated in this run. And the most amazing part was, it's FREE! :) Thank God we have a friend, Gjo working in AIA. And as the major sponsor of JLR, they gave free registration to all their staff. But since not many our interested in running, we got their slot. Yey! 

with my Sengkang Cell Group  and Meng

And finally Ronald and I run together in an official event. He normally go with me for support or take a pictures only but since this is free, he agreed to join. (Yun pala hinihintay, libre!) 

before and after the run with my fiancé

On a personal note, I managed to beat my record last year. Yahoo! Though it's only 1 minute difference, at least I improved for 1 minute. Lol! My record this year is 1hour and 12 minutes for 10km distance. Not that bad. Anyway, I still need to practice a lot.  And the shirt I used was too big for me. Next time, i should wear what is comfortable to me. 

And this is what I got, another medal for my hard work. I love their finisher shirt too, the fitting is just so nice.

 

our Jump Shot! Hoooray! Until next year guys! :)
