When I started running last Sunday, September 27th, approximately 24hours after the Ketsana (Ondoy) Typhoon struck the whole of Metro Manila, I saw a lot of flood victims on the street still trying to clean their homes.

Ondoy Typhoon Struck the whole Metro Manila yesterday without warning.

My 2008 had its ups and downs. From my initial weight of 170lbs, I lost 35lbs. I now weigh 130 to 135lbs, depending on how much I ate and drink at the end of the day. During my first 10K race of the year (Feb17), I weighed 149lbs and clocked 59:27. It wasn't a time I was proud of, but it became the
