hugs anyone?

just saw this commercial in studio 23 regarding an episode of oprah which features "free hugs"... couldn't help but rewatch the video Free Hugs Manila, Philippines in youtube:



thanks to chay, a previous officemate who shared the link sometime july. felt touched the first time i watched the video. yes, there was some nostalgia and reminiscing too because most of the scenes were shot in a school/environment that's all too familiar and the moments/times/memories it represents - UP Diliman... having watched it again, it still sort of strikes a chord and maybe i won't even grow tired of it.

btw, just found the link of the origin of "free hugs":
i've never really been a sweet/demonstrative person. As such, hugging has not really been something i'm accustomed to. well, probably also due to my nbsb status i've never really "discovered" how therapeutic it is. so when i changed companies and realized that for the lady newbies hugging is a habit and is normal i was quite hesitant, ilang and ilag... i am learning and getting used to it though. still getting the hang of it but i have to admit sometimes all we need is a hug... =)

on other news: i got to jog again. this time I jogged more than i walked! yay for me! though i jogged a "lap" less than the previous week i hope i will be able to really make this into a new habit. Hopefully next time, one whole lap of all jog and no walk and afterwards, more laps! *i wish i wish* Next stop, eat less and crunches! >>> i'm going for a tipid way to monitor my weight and form since i lost the free gold's gym benefit since june and i have a hard time waking up early for a game of badminton before work. hehehehehe

can't wait for AR! it's AR season again! AR season 12 and AR Asia season 2! whopee! =)
