Midnight Run @ UP
A group of concerned citizens and groups will be holding a midnight run on Tuesday, March 9 (12:00am) to make a statement against the Midnight Appointments being made my PGMA. It is also to denounce her persistence in wanting to appoint the next Chief Justice. As the clock strikes 12am on March 10, it signifies the start of the Constitutional prohibition on appointments by the President.
The assembly will be at 11:00pm in front of the Malcolm Hall, UP College of Law. We aim to gather over 200 people to participate.
We’ll firm up on the details but it would be great it a lot of people can join us

Takbo Juan!
On February 28, 2010, Sunday, The University Student Council, the UP Industrial Engineering Club and RUN4CHANGE INC. will be hosting the first ever University Cup entitled TAKBOJUAN: One run, One vote, One Country.
We would like to show that as Filipinos, we should take the first step towards a brighter future. TakboJuan will be held in the UP Diliman campus, with distances of 3k, 5k, and 10k. The objective of this event is to allow the youth to show their love for their country by participating in the upcoming elections.
The regular Juan has the power over his future. Our organizations would like to unite the youth to help them realize that despite having different views on candidates, we should unite to get the right candidate elected.

The Biggest Loser
I just finished watching Season 7 of “The Biggest Loser”. It has been one of my favorite tv-shows. It’s amazing how they can lose over 150lbs and going from over 410lbs to less than 200. This Season was supposedly the “biggest” in almost every aspect. As Jillian Michaels (one of the trainers) put it,
We have the oldest at 63, the youngest at 18, the heaviest, the sickest, the heaviest woman, the most number of contestants and the longest season. It was also different joining them on their experience from being huge to being extremely active.
Here are some before and after pictures:
This is Jerry. He’s the oldest at age 63. He won the at home prize of $100,000 for losing over 54% of his starting body weight. Amazing!
When the whole world runs
It’s been more than a year since my favorite picture was taken…

It was taken during the Nike Human Race (31.08.2008). It was the time when I was at my so-called “PEAK”. It was when I had passed some people I had been training with and it was also when I realized I loved hills! This race was held at McKinley hills. I think it was one of the very first events that used this venue for road races.
Can anyone guess who’s standing next to me in the picture below?
(HINT: She’s now a Nike Human Race Ambassador) Yes! It’s Bards Bathan, the Nike Ambassador of Team BananaRunning. She was actually the person who inspired me to put up my first blog after I had visited hers and read her amazing weight loss story.

RUN FOR CHANGE is an advocacy. It is about inspiring and motivating oneself and others through running. It is about achieving one\'s goals and seeing the finish line.
