One today is worth million tomorrows

Hi I'm Patrick you can call me Pat or Leck. I'm a runner and a foot traveler.

Welcome

This is my first article here so I guess it's appropriate to write things about me and my interests as introduction, to give you insights on where we are going. I hope you continue reading.

I am open thank you for the visit

Hello, I hope all is well and welcome to my blog.Thank you for taking time to read my article.

My name is Patrick but you can also call me Leck or Pat, I am on my first half of 30 but people say I look as if I'm 24 or 25 or 26 I just hope they are all sincere ha ha ha.

I live a simple life in a small simple town in Calamba City, if you are not here or from the Philippines my town is located somewhere in the South of Luzon, I am a full time employee in a call center company servicing people from the land down under. Doing my full time job, building my network online through blogging and pursing my passion in running are the three most important things that make me busy in a daily basis. Before we go any farther, I just feel the need to say, so I would like to tell you that I did not study journalism nor have an education or background in awesome formal writing so if you get to encounter misses or incorrect stuff on my articles whether it is grammar or punctuation please let me know so that I can correct them and republish, I promise to take them seriously and positively. To further give you more information about me I listed some of the things that I like and I like less.

LIKES

1. I am into sports and my passion is in running most specially long distance running, though I only really started to focus in it at the beginning of 2017 but running is something that I have been wanting to do since I was a kid they call it the desire that God put into our heart in my case it is running. what is yours? You know it is never too late to be who we could have been. I run distance ranging from three kilometers to 35 kilometers. The longest distance that I have run is 35 kilometers in less than 4 hours. I also swim but I do not know how to properly execute those strokes and properly swim like an Olympian but I do know how to swim and if I am boarded on a ship or a boat and it sinks I will definitely be able to survive cause I know how to float unless sharks attack me ha ha ha. Oh by the way I forgot to mention that I have collections of running medals and I had two podium finishes and the rest are just top finishers award like top ten finishers award on local races.

2. I love eating fruits and vegetables specifically those organic ones. you know when we age we also mature and along with it is the realization that we must start taking care of our body cause changes starting to happen and appear in our body. So at the start of 2017 apart from registering to different fun runs and marathons that serves as my work outs, I committed to eat more fruits and vegetables and decided to become picky and careful when eating. Don't get me wrong I still eat those sweets and fatty high cholesterol food but I only eat them in some occasions not like before, when I crave for them I eat them and eat what my cravings dictate me to eat, but those were the days, well I believe we still need them for energy but keep in mind balance is the key.

3. I like travelling but I've been unable to really allot or find time travelling. I want to travel abroad and explore my home country but I have not done it. I go out of town once in a while or have visited some province yes, but not for holidays and that's about it. Travelling different provinces here in the Philippines for holidays is something that I want to do in a month long trip, because you know we have the best beaches and excellent tourist's destinations here. I think it is funny because we can go anywhere do anything and be who we ever wanted to be we just really need to want it and do it. And with the needs for this blog I think I now have something that will require me to travel a lot so I can blog and share you lots of my experiences.

4. I am an extensive reader but I have no favorite author, nothing in particular nor a particular book that I can recommend you cause I only read books or articles that I find interesting whether it is written by an award winning writer or by an anonymous blogger. I think reading is something that we need apart from breathing. We may not notice it but we do read in a daily basis. In the case of writers and bloggers we write good if we read a lot in short a good writer is a good reader.

5. I like pets, I have one dog whose name is Elmo and a cat whose name is Duchess and I'm planning to breed them or make them reproduce cause in case you do not know they are the best stress reliever. I had a shih tzu before his name is Oakley but for some unknown illness I lost him and I'm telling you right now, though they help you ease your stress once they leave you you'll be depressed.

DISLIKES

1. No offense meant but I despise smoke and I get upset when I encounter irresponsible smokers who smokes on non designated areas who keep violating the nationwide non smoking ban considering that it is an executive order. Pollution, smoke coming from cigarettes and bad odor destroy our lungs and our environment. We all know what's gonna happen and the effect of these air pollutants to our health and environment so in case you didn't notice apart from being health conscious I also have the heart for environment protection which makes me obliged to plant trees. I recently pledged to plant 1000 trees whilst I am still here living and I already planted one.

2. I am not into watching series and television shows because I find them irrelevant to my needs as I mature, yes when I was a kid I did watch a lot of television shows and series and yes I still watch some entertaining shows but it is almost once in a blue moon now. What I often watch is news and reality shows like talent shows and movies.

3. Before I engage myself into time wasting social media opinion battles such as debating, arguing with the use of keyboard and mouse and smartphones specially during 2016 election here in the Philippines. Now I don't do that anymore, not because I have lost the appetite to do it, it is simply because I realized engaging myself into those kind of stuff will just give me stress and will just consume my time, time that I could have allotted to do some important things and be productive. At the end of the day the word battle and online arguing won't pay us and by not doing it we keep ourselves away from unhealthy people and issues of our society that greatly impacts our health and mental condition.

I think I better stop from here I maybe beginning to be boring already and I don't want you to get feel that. I will surely be able to impart more of me to you my readers through my future articles and video blogs and that is why I am developing this blog to basically share my interests in sports specifically in running, health, pets, travel, YouTube, opinions (cause I'm so opinionated) on some significant issues, food, places, movies, experiences or maybe sharing anything from anywhere. I will do my best to give you if not excellent articles or information at least helpful ones, because my aim and my main goal here is to share something that you can use for whatever you wanna use them.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MY BLOGS

I will be posting lots of articles about my travel without riding anything, travelling only using my feet but not barefoot. I will be travelling from my house going to anywhere I wanna go. So if you see someone wearing spectacle that appears to look like taong grasa that is definitely not me I'm not gonna get to that point but I will post photos and videos of my encounters during my travels.

I really wanna say lots of things and give you more of what I can offer more in my future articles but I'll reserve them for future writings and just so not to prolong this article further so I'll stop now.
