Make a bad thing

make shitty poetry,

ill make dog awful shitty fucking poetry and post it without regard,

it'll crawl under your skin and make your lip curl, like that pile of dog shit outside my garage that i swear my neighbor left as revenge.

my blood boils hot and red,

and because of events we will not name,

so is my hair. bright red, cherry red,

it clashes with my skin and brings my angry girl in the celler out of hiding- good, because if she is not heard, she kicks up a real fuss and tries to take over.

That girl is why i refused to see anyone and eat half a cake from safeway. she deserves to be fucking heard, I hear her.

i went to church today and praised Jesus's name. it felt quite hollow, and left my stomach curdling. How can i praise the names that tell me being a woman is weakness, an afterthought, under man?

I'll keep going, because loneliness will drive me.

Bitter coffee i will swallow,

and eyes that see the glimpse of the bright crimson in the back of my vision,

reminding me i am seen, heard,

and exist, in a very real way.

Amen.

RUNNING THOUGHT #10

tulisan ini dibuat karena kejadian sedikit membuat kaget satu IGD.

singkat cerita aku jaga malam dan seperti biasa membawa botol minum 1 liter yang wadahnya dari alumunium, memang besar banget berasa bawa barbel. kemudian karena jaga ruangan dan aman pol, akhirnya aku leha2 tiduran dan standby. botol minum aku taruh di meja infant warmer yang alasnya empuk yang kalau ditaruh botol berdirinya agak goyah.

walhasil ketika enak2 tiduran tiba2 si botol aluminium (yang terisi penuh air) menggelinding jatuh..

dan suara jatuhnya kencang sekali, mirip tabung oksigen kecil jatuh..

satu IGD kaget tidak tau apa yang jatuh, dan apa yang terjadi sedangkan aku meratapi botol minumku yang penyok karena jatuh...

yaa memang terkadang kalau tidak ingin jatuh itu memang baiknya selalu ada di bawah...

namun ada di bawah bukan berarti kamu akan aman dari bahaya 'jatuh', masih ada ancaman terinjak dan kejatuhan sesuatu...

yasudah nikmati saja apa yang ada setidaknya botolku masih utuh dan bisa dipakai...

Feeling so much pressure

One step at a time

Just a steady mist but we are pretty soaked to the bone over here! We are faster today, being uncomfortable is a good motivator. And that’s why I prescribe to the “Whiplash” method of teaching. It’s hard to make yourself bleed. We all need our own JK Simmons to make us want to bleed our own blood to impress him. Today mine was rain! Are you impressed now Mother Nature!!! LOL awwww truth is I just love JK Simmons. (Especially when he’s making drummers bleed their own blood). #runadayproject #runningthoughts #motivation #whiplash #jksimmons #nikerunclub #rain #runningwithdogs #spring (at Sunny Corner, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/BysEnp_DL56/?igshid=os5gmwbhfy0s

Adrift by the Moon and the Tide.

I am me.

I know no others like me, because I have felt none other like me.

I thought I did.

I would be pulled by the reflections of lights, and turn back and see myself in the sea and witness a halo of who I never was.

I would fall fall hard at such a velocity where water would be a wall and the impact so quick, as it happened I’d be enveloped and caressed by drowning sense of regret.

Death?

Are these thoughts mine are they simply a reflection that I have the ability to reiterate.

I know My words are romantic and I wish for them to be;

but they are reminiscent of a past that’s it littered with tragedy that eventually at some deep in the smile a sliver of the moon.

I miss you and I am crying far distant from the memories I have left the identities I have crafted with you, are me.

The now me, and the now you is the words never shared. Yet I still feel pulls of a face pulling my attention as hers.

Running Thoughts: Halfway Through With The New Normal

Running Thoughts: Halfway Through With The New Normal

I was flipping my calendar to set it for the month of July and realize we are halfway through the year with the new normal. How time flies that a lot of things have change especially in how we interact with our family, friends, colleagues and surroundings.

Now that we are halfway through the year with the new normal There is a new normal way in…

Without Limits:

Steve Prefontaine died in a car accident at the end of May 1975. Without Limits was a movie released in 1998 about him, that is largely overlooked and forgotten but something I still watch on the rare occasions that it comes around. The film concludes with a memorial at the University of Oregon track where he starred. The clock was started and stopped at exactly 3:54.6, his fastest recorded mile…

this too shall pass

Just until we breathe. Drought season-yes, there's that season in life. and it is this season now as for me. I am talking about Financial aspect in life. We all experience this.

I have been saving through this wallet account (i call it this way), COL Financial. This has been plugged by Bo Sanchez (i think we all know him. If you're a Filipino reading this). It's a stock trading platform where you can buy securities of those blue-chip companies. I have with me JFC and MBTC. Intentionally bought them for emergencies (i should have thought initially as investment). And, oh, well. Life happens. Couldn't imagine that I would again face this phase (but not complaining, though). I know this is temporary. Decided again to sell my remaining stocks. Again, because I have sold few of them previously. I remember I bought them half of the selling price now way a year ago. That means, it has increased by 8% to date. That's the advantage of knowing the "time value of money... ...it's just that now, including the cost of buying it, i have to pull out too. It saddened me even by just thinking about it.

However, i left a minimum portion enough to maintain the account and so that the COL Company will not close it. It has to be this way for now. I/we can come back anytime, STRONG! Shall fill you soon. Much bigger! Wait for me.

I want to write something about this in no time. That? Maybe? I have already filled this with more than that I could ever imagine.

The spice and fuel of life for me.

What I have learnt in recent days is that your effort is not necessarily dependent on your pace 8-| !!! Just yesterday I ran 16km with easy pace but the effort was so much and I do not know why 8-| !!! Today I ran 17.5km with a little bit faster pace and the effort felt was so easy and relaxing 8-| !!! - Today I saw a man running and he was very much slow but he was out of his breath and it looked like he was giving his 100% effort 8-| !!! And then he just laid down and rested after the intense run 8-| !!! What counts at the end is your effort and not the relative pace 8-| !!! He was in a way better than me as he appeared to be giving his all out efforts 8-| !!! - This pace, distance, and elevation are becoming my comfort zone and I think I need to increase my efforts 8-| !!! - - - - - #mrhappy #universeofmrhappy #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runnerslife #10milesrun #pace #nightrun #runningthoughts #mymind #efforts #relativeeffort #comfortzone #instarunner #stravarun #stravarunner #fitnesspakistan #pakistanfitness #16kmrun #instadaily #instarunning #happyrunners #runnerprobs #runningefforts (at Shaheed.e.inquilab Ground) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4BHtBNjXYr/?igshid=1hyn4flvoiqyb

Running thought #9

Perjalanan ke barat hari ini dalam rangka menemani istriku yayayang sympo dan sebuah harapan menikmati udara sejuk pagi gelora bung karno.

Perjalanan naik kereta kemarin lumayan seru karena pertama kali bisa2nya makan mendoan di kereta, sambil menikmati pemandangan sawah berhektar2 sepanjang perjalanan. Terkadang suka kepikiran, sawah segitu luasnya tapi kenapa kok Indonesia masih impor beras? Orangnya kah yang kebanyakan? Produksinya yang bermasalah? Atau apa? Ingin berusaha mikir tapi kok gajiku masih di potong pajak. Biar beliau2 yang gajinya dari pajak aja yang mikir, biar sesuai tupoksinya hehehe.

Lanjut ke pagi hari esoknya, lumayan excited dan agak lumayan overthinking mengingat lari di kota orang sebelumnya aku hampir kesasar. Lari dimulai akan tetapi tidak seperti lari2 sebelumnya, perasaanku aja udara di ibukota ini kok agak engap ya, panas iya, cuman entah kenapa engap, ga terasa segar seperti biasanya lari di deket rumah atau pas di semarang yang walaupun itu di perkotaan.

Ekspektasi lari having fun di ibukota jadi terasa agak kurang gara2 ini. Mungkin benar yang dishare orang2 kualitas udara kota di jakarta buruk. Tapi aku ga menyangka seburuk ini, get well soon Jakarta.

Semoga suatu saat aku jogging di GBK udaranya sudah tidak se engap ini.

We’re back at it again! 💪 safety first! A very large man in a very large truck parked in front of me as I was running and motioned for me to go to his drivers side.AHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOPpPPPEE! So I kept running, he gets out, and is like where are you going? In a gruff way. I’m like “What?” (Most likely squinting my eyes at him and looking ready to let these dogs loose) He says “oh your not Lindsay”, I like nod ok, gonna keep running, and he’s like “where do you live?” Ok I get it, everyone around here wants to know where you live, I was like up the road. So he knows I’m a neighbour. Should be good now-nope. “Where up the road?” In nunyabiznessland! So I just point in a direction, cause I’m about to just run away yelling STRANGER DANGER!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! So then he just tells me about how he was gonna tell me, Lindsay, to tell my dad to come down to see him! And Lindsay has two dogs she walks. So he thinks I’m a kid!!! LMAO! Anyways! Don’t do this. Just roll down the passenger window and introduce yourself. Much better. I know this guy was just doing his thing, but I don’t need added real life scares after going through that haunted corn maze on the weekend!

Running thoughts: week 10

Today I ran a one-mile time trial.

By the time I was done, I felt like I’d been hit in the face with a brick.

You know that feeling? When you run so hard your face actually hurts? It probably comes from clenching my jaw while trying not. to. think. about how my lungs might explode out of my chest and my legs might melt into puddles of lactic acid.

But I did it nonetheless, and I did a fairly good job. I got a few new personal records, including the fastest mile I’ve ever run (7:28) and the fastest 1k I’ve run (4:33).

Both of these are numbers I’m exceptionally proud of.

I’ve been working my way through a running training plan. It’s the first time I’ve ever actually stuck to the training plan (or at least, mostly stuck to the training plan). And while it might not seem surprising...I’m amazed at how much faster I’ve gotten over the last 8 weeks. I’m faster now than ever before.

I know this isn’t rocket science. Consistency and commitment is what makes you better over time. I get better at running because I’m doing a bunch of speed work a few times a week, not just running 5k three times a week and calling it good enough.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot in my life recently, especially since the last three months I feel like the only thing I’ve done consistently is mess up. To be totally honest, I haven’t been doing that well. The last three months have been a hole without a ladder; I’ve been stuck at the bottom, the soft earthen walls making it impossible to climb out into daylight and normalcy. Winter is always hard for me emotionally, but this one was especially bad for a few reasons, including injuring myself, a car accident in the family, and other dramas.

I’ve been lacking consistency in my life lately. The only thing that has been consistent is my running. And the results are obvious: I’ve PR’d multiple times this week.

Frankly, the only person who can make me more consistent is me. I’m an adult. I’m the one who is ultimately responsible for me. So if I need consistency, or if I need structure, or if I need anything for that matter, I have to figure out how to get it. Nobody is going to deliver what I need on a silver platter.

The last three months have been a struggle, yes. But I’ve learned my lessons, and I need to move on from them.

The good news though is that as the days are getting longer (and as I finish some projects for work), I can feel myself lurching my way awkwardly out of this stupid hole. As I’m rebuilding myself and pulling myself out, I’m going to go back to focusing on consistency in everything I do.

My First Stride Towards A Half Marathon

My First Stride Towards A Half Marathon

Hard work cannot beats talent in anything and everything you want to achieve in life.

Trust me it works! I completed my first half marathon (21.1 km) under 2:47 hours at the WNC Navy Marathon in 2017. Running a half marathon had been in my long list of to-do things since 2016. (more…)

The fun part about runs alone is that it gives you time alone with your thoughts. The worst part about runs alone is that is that is gives you time alone with your thoughts. #running #hittingthetrails #missthis #ineedtostopbeinglazy #runningthoughts (at Rockville, Maryland)
