waakkk!!

hahaha.. ive always loved walking. especially long, leisurely walks. and ive always considered myself a very fast walker. i remember when i was in high school, in the barkada, jill anne and i were always forever waiting for our other friends who walk at a turtle's pace. but kakaibang lebel talaga dito. walk is not walk, its WAAAKK!! my walking power is like level 1/8 lang.

kasi my routine these past few weeks. and until next month include: spending one hour (5 minutes in the train, 5 minutes shoving people inside the subway and 45 minutes walking) travelling to the client. spending 8 to 10 hours at the client's office and then going home (1 hour, same as the morning routine). i spend almost 2 hours walking everyday. and not just your average leisurely walk. its run-walking. or else i might get run over by the crowd behind me.

today was particularly hard for me. its wednesday and i was getting tired of walking (its my 3rd week at this client). i was dragging myself to the client's office this morning. and ang pamatay was going home. i went home with two of my assistants. it was pretty cold outside coz winter has ended (the siberian winds are really full force near the start and end of winter) kaya they marathon-walked the 45 minute walk to the metro station!

halfway through, i was almost tempted to "bumulagta" in the middle of the road or stop my officemates and pant from exhaustion. coz even my biggest strides couldnt match up to their pace. hahaha.. oh God. how i miss the cheap cheap taxis in Pinas! (taxi here is at 500 pesos minimum for a 10 minute ride).. no kidding but i was really being careful that my legs wont fold up under me. kakahiya it would just go to show how physically unfit i am. hahahha.. when i got to the metro and parted ways with my officemates, i walked so slow as to rest my poor calves and feet. and i terribly thank God for escalators!! hahaha.

grabe. every minute here is almost an experience of its own. i should really lose weight after this or else!

PS. for all the people who are thinking of going/migrating to Europe, be prepared to WAAK!! a LOT!
