So many colors in this distraction

We Feel Like Your Upper Lip

I pack my bag and lock the door. Behind me will always be an aftereffect of typhoon; a merrymaking that only happens here.

This time, the carpet of Plumeria lies there undisturbed. They will be swept away later on. And so will I.

Nike Free 5.0 v4Barefoot training? We will see.

I have been to several running events using my Nike Tiempo Natural II IC – which is for soccer – and I bought these for recreational basketball. These are not the best shoes for running and basketball but they served the purpose of not having me wear the Forrest Gump Nike shoes.

Monday Morning

What a day to be alive
What a day to realize I’m not dead
