Whenever I’ve a run planned out, whether short or long, one thing I always remember to prepare is my phone. I need to make sure it’s fully charged with a heart pumping music playlist!

Case-Mate: Quality Cases for Your Smart Phones and Tablets
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 17th, 2013
When I first bought my iPhone a couple months ago, I didn’t think of buying a case for it. As my fiancé said, what’s the point of buying an iPhone if you’re just gonna cover it with an ugly case. So I opted to just use an invisible shield instead. Don’t get me wrong, the invisible shield worked really well, unfortunately, I don’t think it was “Cheryl-proof”. You see, I tend to drop my phone a lot ‘coz I’m clumsy like that… so...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 12th, 2013
They say that 1 out of 8 women in the world today suffer from breast cancer as if it were as easy to get it as the common cold. Sadly, it still remains the top killer for Filipino women up to this very day, what’s worse is that several of our public hospitals are not yet 100% ready to battle the condition. Simply knowing these facts won’t really change anything, but concrete action towards better prevention, treatment and support in whatever...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Trails can range from easy, which refer to those flat trails that are solid like pavement to extremely difficult like the one we experienced at the Teva Trail Challenge. More on that HERE. Selecting the right pair of shoes for each surface is another challenge athletes need to take. It’s important to wear the right shoes not only to ease the race for you but also to ensure s...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )
