Inefficiency & How to Counter It

I hate it when I have to do something over and over again and for what? Because there’s no definite and explicit coordination between the parties involved. This could’ve been solved quite easily. There’s some overlap between sections so why is there a need to do everything all over again? What a waste of valuable time.

Oh well… If you’ve ever felt this way about work then just try and relax. Listen to a calming song (because you can’t really do anything about it but try to improve the work process for the future):

(Donna Lewis)
We were strangers starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we’d have to go through
Now here we are and I’m suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

(Richard Marx)
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(Chorus)
And Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

(Both)
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(Chorus)
And Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

(Bridge)
Knew there was somebody somewhere
Like a light in the dark
Now I know that dreams will live on
I’ve been waiting so long
Nothing’s gonna tear us apart

And Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Using gait analysis to find the perfect pair
By Marjorie Gorospe

MANILA, Philippines— A worn-out pair of sneakers can be considered a runner’s best friend. Hector Yuzon’s goal is to make that a more lasting relationship.

Yuzon owns Second Wind, a store that specializes in all things running located in Teachers Village in Quezon City. He introduced video gait analysis when he opened the store in March.

Already common in other countries, video gait analysis allows runners to identify certain factors in picking out the ideal pair of running shoes.

“Its advantage is you can actually see the foot in motion, assess the proper biomechanics and rate of pronation since running shoes are designed not only for comfort but also to address those kind of needs,” said Yuson.

A runner himself, Yuson understands the needs of other runners and tries to help them in their quest for the perfect pair. He also envisions Second Wind to become a converging point for people passionate about running.

It begins by making the customer run on a treadmill for less than a minute – barefoot and preferably in shorts (or pants folded up past the knees). Why? Because the entire portion of the knee to the heel will be captured on video while running.

“From there, we playback the video and assess their foot pronation,” said Yuson.

Pronation is the movement of the subtalar joint between the talus and calcaneus, anatomically speaking. Overpronation, Yuson pointed out, poses risks of injury for runners.

“With a static assessment, some will just recommend them to use a stability shoe but with gait analysis, we can assess if it’s just a mild overpronation and further prescribe which shoe suits best,” said Yuson.

Running shoes also come in different categories. Lightweight shoes are ideal for people a five-minute phase per kilometer.

‘Stability’ shoes are often suggested for overpronators, although depending on the level of pronation. Cushioning is recommended for beginners who aim for comfort while improving mileage.

“Runners always set a goal in every race that is why runners need shoes that will give them optimal performance, not distract their focus,” Yuson said.

New Divide

I remembered black skies / the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash / as time began to blur
Like a startling sign / that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this
memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space
between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight / but memories left
abandoned
There was nowhere to hide / the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in / between where we were
standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this
memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss / in every lie
In every truth that you’d deny
And each regret / and each goodbye
was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this
memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space
between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

Drive by Damien Fernandez

I drive I get in my car and I go
Oh oh, now I’m on the freeway

Some people tell me I should slow down
But everytime I try I just lose it
Feels like I’m in a movie with no sound
Just music

Roll the dice if you don’t mind to
Wait around and see
But waitin around just aint like me

So I drive, get in my car, fast as I can
And I aint stopping for the red lights
I know what I want, I know who I am
And if I want it I get it so don’t forget it

You take your time, I take what’s mine
You make your mind, I make my life
And now I drive as fast as I want
And I never slow down

Tryna keep my head but I don’t know
If there’s a drug that’s worse than fame
Addicted to the lights and the big show
Got me livin in the fast lane

So many places that I’ve gone I never even see
Through the windows of my technicolor dream

So I drive, get in my car, fast as I can
And I aint stopping for the red lights
I know what I want, you know who I am
And if I said it or did it I don’t regret it

You take your time, I take what’s mine
You make your mind, I make my life
And now I drive as fast as I want
And I never slow down

I do it for the love, I do it for the ladies
They love this in the club cause my beats is just so 80’s
Japanese girls say that they wanna have my babies
And haters getting mad cause radio finally play me

I just do it for the lights, I just do it for the crowd
I just do it for the noise, when I do I do it loud
Do it till you get enough, till you say you had to much
I aint never gonna stop, I aint never slowing down when I drive

I drive I get in my car and I go
Oh oh, now I’m on the freeway
I don’t care if you tell me to stop
Cause I never listen anyway

Earth Run 2009

Joined Earth Run in McKinley Hill yesterday. Enjoyed it a lot. The uphill parts were challenging but manageable (just kept it steady).

Planning to join the Mizuno Infinity Run this Sunday.

This is the singlet I used.

But I got an officemate to exchange her blue with my red (after laundry, of course). Hehe…
