Gearing Up For A Marathon

macky, , 2 Comments

When I was in High School, and in Freshman Year of college, I was pretty fit. Not necessarily in shape, but I had quite an endurance. I distinctly remember being able to go distances without breathing so heavily, and without having to take breaks. That was 6 years ago. Yikes!

Ever since Sophomore Year, I had gotten busy and the time I usually devoted to evening runs have turned to sleepless nights, or deep slumbers. I know, not the best excuse. When I went on my Junior Term Abroad, I got to do evening walks. I didn’t think of bringing rubber shoes back then, but how I wish I did!

Senior year came, and I started entering the workforce, and I completely disregarded the whole idea of physical fitness. It wasn’t until last month when I decided to get back on track. I had to start somewhere, and the perfect motivation for me was that I get to buy myself a new pair of shoes [should I want to get into the fitness bandwagon]. And, I did!

Without a clear sense of purpose of going into the unknown, and without being prepared to face whatever hazards, the chances of coming out of the woods triumphant, would be very slim. And honestly, that’s how I very much felt this whole year.

7 Things to Keep in Mind for Your Marketing Defense

Finance, Operations and Marketing are considered as the “JGSOM Triumvirate”. These three courses, I believe, are the three most important pillars in any business regardless of size. Of the three, despite to be noted as one of the easiest ones, Marketing is in fact, rather complicated. The course presents a challenge because assessing strategies proposed by students may have a more subjective dimension than a 50-50 balance along with objectiveness.

Toby’s Estate in Pasig

My first encounter of Toby’s Estate was in Century City Mall. It had a quaint space, just enough to seat around 6 people comfortably–bar style at that. It was one of those third-wave cafés that had a more high-brow feel compared to the others which were more cozy and quirky. No worries, the quality of beverages and food is still great.

I just found out recently that Toby’s Estate opened shop in Pasig, discreetly positioned along one of the less busy streets of the Ortigas Business District.
