at 4:30 am, i finally got out from my green dress which i've been wearing for 16 hours. ahhhh! freedom!
i put on my shorts, red shirt and running shoes. at 4:40 i was in the street of jaro going to the iloilo riverside boardwalk for a jog. i wanted to join the morning aero group but it was too late. now i know that i have to be there before 5am if i want a fun workout. i did kick a few joints before hitting the track. i jogged three rounds from end to end of the boardwalk. it was nice to sweat out my annoyance early in the morning!

after jogging, there's nothing more refreshing and gratifying than drinking a cup of fresh buko juice. there are vendors at the entrance of the boardwalk and a cup of that thirst-quenching buko juice costs 10 pesos.
i got home around 7am. i took a shower and hit the sheets. oh, it was such a good feeling to drift to the dreamworld after being awake for almost 24 hours. i got up at half past 8, had the usual early morning talk with faye and kyra over breakfast and prepared for work.
today is pepero day! so i got some pepero's from my online students. what a sweet way to give away pepero's. haha!
according to wikipedia, Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine's Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date "11/11" resembles four sticks of Pepero. The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts. Lotte denies starting the holiday and instead states that they noticed a bump in Pepero sales around November 11th and after continued popularity they decided to then encourage the holiday with special gift boxes and other promotions.
according to one story, Pepero Day was started in 1994 by students at a girls' middle school in Busan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero".
there goes the 11.11.11 trivia!
i ended the day with a chat with Pulutong ko, whom i haven't talked to for a couple of days. i was so happy that we got to hang out for a few minutes online, share a few laughs and hugs and flying kisses.
it's the most wonderful feeling in the world...loving somebody and being loved in return.
dolce vita!
happy 11.11.11!
