  • Update : Rexona Run 2012 moved to September 23, 2012

    The Rexona Run 2012 has been moved to a later date, September 23, 2012 due to the bad weather that Manila has been experiencing for the past couple of days.  Please see official statement below from Runrio’s Facebook page:

    “Dear Runners,

    Due to the heavy rains, we will be postponing the REXONA RUN 2012 event to SEPTEMBER 23, Sunday still at the Mall of Asia grounds. We feel that due to the current calamity, it would be inappropriate to still push through with the event. We have taken into consideration that a lot of the runners may be living in affected areas, and that our route marshals are part of the AFP so th
    ey will be busy with relief operations.

    Instead, we will be focusing our efforts on relief operations this weekend, particularly in Marikina. You are very much welcome to participate or help out in any way. More details will be posted soon.

    Thank you for understanding. Please stay safe and dry!

    Coach Rio”

    See you on September 23, 2012 at the Mall of Asia (MOA)!!

  • Regrets in Helping

    Before I start, I would like to let the readers know that I am not against people or organizations who are asking help from me in promoting their events/products/whatever they have.  I’m open to offer some help even in the simplest way.

    Have you ever experienced helping others even in the smallest way you can? It feels good right?  But have you experienced offering your assistance and then regretted it? I do.

    I was asked by Daniel to help him find bloggers for his running event. So I gave him a list of my friends who can help, unfortunately not all were able to confirm to his invitation because of their busy schedules. Not to mention the invite was not done in a good taste either.  Still I posted his event on my blog to help him promote albeit the many changes in his posters, dates, and what nots.

    All along I thought the event was running smoothly not until I got a comment/message on my blog. You can sense the frustration of the sender about the organizer.  And the way I read her message, they thought I’m part of the organizing committee.  As a courtesy I offered to forward their concern to the organizer and made clear that I’m not in any way part of the organizers.

    I messaged Daniel about this and that’s when I knew that they no longer handle the event.  I got a little furious about the news.  My point is they should have told me and the rest of the bloggers whom they’ve sent their press materials about the changes.  It felt unfair on my part being someone willing to help out and yet get complaints from runners without the slightest idea of the issues to think I’m just a messenger or email away.

    I apologize for ranting.  There’s this need of pouring out how I feel about the incident.
