My first motivation for running is just to get fit and loose some baby fats. I've been playing badminton for atmost 4 years, and let me tell you, you won't slim down if you don't cut on the FOODS. Clearly its not working for me. I have to increase my playing time to burn more calories which i can't because I lack the time (being a new father and all the baby stuff to take care of). Or I can stop eating which is a difficult vice to get rid of. Hehe. And of course I can just introduce a new activity to burn additional calories and still have the time (run in the morning when baby is asleep hehe) for some baby stuff. So i thought, what about running? Its all the craze I've been hearing.

So i've started running. With the goal of loosing those baby fats. Last Dec 2012 I did some practice runs and started out with some light jogs. I log my runs using www.mapmyrun.com website and used their android app for tracking my pace, distance and time. After a month, I thought, these darn smartphones are just so heavy in the pocket that I decided to invest in a running watch. I've bought a Garmin FR10 and log my runs using the Garmin Connect site. 

I'm planning to post a review in the Garmin  FR10...hmmm..maybe..hehe. For now, I'm loving that I can use it for running and just an everyday watch.

Keep running...Next up, 5k Fun Run...

So I've jumped out the apple bandwagon (IPhone 4 - 16GB) and on to HTC's Android smartphones (HTC ONE S). Its been 6 days and here's what I miss of the old and adore of the new...

I miss...
1. Touching the top panel of any scroll down page takes you directly to the top.
2. Clicking the Home Button to turn the screen on.
3. Double Clicking the Home Button while screen locked to get the music player on.
4. The seamless text selection, editing and clipboard management.
5. The Search Bar (the left most part of your screen)

I Loove...
1. Widgets, need i say more?
2. Never to switch keyboard layout just to get to some punctuations.
3. Unlocked Grid Icons. (Yeah...)
4. Network Signal issues...gone baby. :D
5. HTC Sense UI (some may not like the Sense)
6. The helicopter view
7. Animated wallpapers
8. Face Unlock (pretty cool stuff here, although still has some kinks on it)
9. The Mobile Data (you can track your data usage, see what app uses the most, etc)
10. THE CAMERA...hehehe - very fast, built in customization like instagram effects, control WB-ISO, camera modes.

I think i'm going to stop here for now...will look for more "Miss n' Love"...haha

Zeee Yah. Thanks for dropping by.

I have been out for awhile with a very good reason. I'm already a Dad!!! :D Here's a photo of our little guy! xoxo
