Clicking My Heels

I finally gave in to the fact that I have no fast-healing mutant power and my bones are not engrafted with indestructible adamantium metal. Reality check!

After months (or maybe a year) of feeling discomfort and some pain in my heels I had my feet checked by an orthopedic doctor. He examined my feet but required x-rays taken from different angles to have a conclusive diagnosis.

I have not really bothered to find out whether I am suffering from plantar fascitiis, heel spurs or some other running related injury. I ignored pain for the longest time. Getting myself checked gives me at least an assurance that I could still push myself to greater limits and achieve a more running goals. Ending my running career this early because of an injury is definitely beyond my wildest imagination.

X-ray results to follow.

“Recovery” position hehehe

SC SG Marathon Registration Now Open

The Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon registration is now open!

I just signed up for the full marathon event. Who else is joining?

Compared to its Hong Kong counterpart, the SG Marathon is reported to be on a relatively flat course. But despite being held in December, the weather can be very humid.

This will be my first time running a race in SG and my second out of the country marathon. I can’t wait to start training! My goal is to beat my HK time of 4:50:06.

Ateneo Law @ 75

I can’t help but be nostalgic from the hype of the Ateneo Law School’s 75th Anniversary. My years in law school is perhaps among the most memorable time of my life.

From it’s previous Padre Faura, Manila and H.V. Dela Costa Makati locations, the law school moved to its present site in Rockwell, Makati.

“The Guru of Destabilization” himself: Fr. Joaquin G. Bernas, S.J.

He was more than a Dean to us. He was a father, grandfather and friend to all.

But he can be a terror(ist) in class. I was never under his classes because I was enrolled in the afternoon/evening class. I often visited him in his office when there’s a new camera gadget or Apple product released. I also drop by to share with him photos I took during various school activities.

Rededication of the Justitia Hall. This is where we had our moot court or practice court class. In this photo are notable alumni being introduced by Dean Cesar L. Villanueva.

Law school will never be as memorable without my brods. The Gentlemen of the Fraternal Order of Utopia live by the codes of service, sacrifice and excellence.

The first Sunday morning of the 2005 Bar Exams. We were billeted at the Manila Diamond Hotel. In this photo we were having a buffet breakfast while reading the Ateneo “Blue Tips” ang the Utopia tips. Every single one of us was conditioned to to top the bar. We didn’t make it to the top 10. We all settled for number 11.
