This is my Late Show

I was going to make this entry two weeks ago, but though it would be highly inappropriate because of the, um, Boston Marathon bombing. If it's still fresh for anyone here, I'm really sorry and please don't read any further.>_<

But two weeks ago, on April 13, I ran in my first ever marathon!>w< I'm really clumsy and unathletic, and the weather here in the Philippines has been downright unbearable.x_X But the marathon was a night run and there were zombies all over the course. How convenient and cool is that? And the one who invited me was an online friend who I've been wanting to meet up with too.♥

I was really hesitant to join at first, and both my family and officemates were far from encouraging. My supervisor even estimated that it'll take me 3 hours to finish the 5km run.=/ Because of my waffling, my friend's 'wave' had closed by the time I registered. I ended up getting in the next wave, and ran the entire course by myself.x_X It was really hard and tiring. There were areas in the course where I had to run past 2-6 zombies, which would have been easier with a group of friends. Oh, but I'm really glad I came! Even though I had to run alone, it was still such a blast!>w< And best of all--

I SURVIVED THE ZOMBIE RUN!!

That's right. We didn't give a fucking damn about the time it took us to finish the course. (My friend estimated I took 45mins.) We were just so happy to survive and get our medals.>w<



Isn't it cool?* ^ * What's not cool though is how one of my shoes' soles ripped off before the race. I ran 5km sole-less and the bottom of my shoes burned through. Thank god for that soft rubber padding whatchamecallit.



I also tripped during the first 100m-- which, haha, my family sort of predicted-- and scraped my knee and two fingers. It's a good thing I wore jugging pants or it would have been worse.=(



But overall? It was such a fun and liberating experience. Sure my lower half was aching for the next four days and walking hurt so much that I felt like crying, but that's part of the experience too. Sometime last year I took up the resolve to try as many new and exciting things as I can, but I haven't really make good on it.

No matter what I do I seem to be trapped in a cycle of one heartbreak after the next, and even now I'm in the middle of a sort-of fight with very dear friends. They already said they're not mad at me...but they're not talking with me either. And when I can muster up the courage to speak first, they respond so coldly. Couple that with how demanding work has been, and I'm completely sapped of all energy to have fun. And recently I've been thinking, "I feel lonely" a lot.

But I think writing this post has done me some good.>w< I don't know how well I'd be able to do it, but from here on out I'll try my best to do new things and go to new places and have fun!!
