If Sunday afternoon was spent watching yoga practitioners do their best at the Yoga Asana Championship, Sunday morning was spent at the Bonifacio Global City to show some support for Twitter buddies JB and Sef at the Men's Health Urbanathlon.

It's been a while since I saw these two guys (and the rest of my Twitter buddies), so I made sure that I'd be able to go when JB invited the usual suspects to have brekkie after their run. I missed the guys.

It's also been a while since my last organized run (augh!). That's why I decided that I would be early at the Bonifacio Global City so I can see the run/extra challenge while it's ongoing and hopefully, I would get my groove back. Haha!

Another reason why I wanted to be there early is I can take photos of my friends running, as well as other runner who may serve as "inspiration." Haha! My trusted LX-3 Hanschen was with me to help achieve this. Haha!

Jamie and I waited for JB and Sef near the finish line. We got to see the two running and triumphantly conquering the last of the six obstacles for the race - the Wall Climb.

Waaay to go JB and Sef for finishing the race and for completing all six obstacles!

I was sort of kicking myself for not signing up for the race. I knew about that obstacles were part of the race. I guess I was just being too chicken about it. Haha! But after seeing JB, Sef and many others challenging themselves and winning, I definitely want to be part of the next Urbanathlon.

From the run, we headed to Seattle's Best where we spent a good few hours talking over breakfast. We were quite a large group - JB, Sef, Jamie, Me, Gelo, Fidan, JBC, and Ponch - so you can imagine all sorts of topics that were brought up. Haha!

Fun, fun get-together. I wish we had more of those, and I definitely would want to see these guys more often.

After the meetup with the boys, I had to head home and do a quick change before heading back to Makati for the yoga event.

Readings for the week...



Class is now in session.

Readings for the weekend are the new issue of Garage, and some recent issues of Preview and Men's Health. Haha!

I've always been a fan of magazines. I love the visuals and the articles.

If I had a little more money to burn, I'm quite sure I would definitely be getting my hands on the latest issues of my fave mags.

Thank goodness though for Booksale, which sells some of my fave mags for a quarter of its original price. Hehe!

Uhm, forgive me but I'm more of a fan of foreign magazines. Specifically, US Vogue (I'm such a stereotype, I know. Haha!) and VMan.

For the former, the one issue I always try to get my hands on and I'm willing to pay the full price is the September Issue.

For the latter, it's a collector's item. I remember it was my friend Edsel who introduced me (and many of our friends) to the awesome men's magazine. Too bad it's not available locally. Ugh! And I'm just lucky to have friends based in SG who are generous and kind enough to get me my Vman fix.

I do also enjoy local magazines. When Mega came out several years ago, I would almost always save a part of my allowance so I can get a recent issue (Again, I'm such a stereotype. Haha!).

Lately, I've been enjoying Preview, Men's Health and Town & Country. The one local mag that I collect though is Garage. Awesome, awesome men's magazine. I have to look for back issues though. Ugh!

If there's one other industry I can probably work for and enjoy working in, it's the publishing industry.

Having put up a magazine with friends once upon a time, I know I would.
