Aside from running until my feet bleed, yours truly also has a love for music. With The Killers concert fast approaching, one can’t help but wonder if they will have enough money to get their tickets by concert day. No fan would dare pass up the chance to watch his favorite band and I’m one of them. I seriously admit that I won’t be able to gather enough funds to get me tickets for The Killers concert on January 31, 2009 and for the past hour or so, I have been trying to find a way to get me those tickets.

It’s a good thing Globe Tattoo Broadband has something for the fans to help them out.

Am I good Enough to Win Those Tickets? That my friends is me trying my best to pose with my imaginary Globe Tattoo Broadband stick. I went to my favorite Globe Business center a few hours ago and they seriously ran out of the new Globe Tatoo Broadband stick designs. There must be a lot of people trying to join the contest. It’s a good thing that stocks will be back up tomorrow so I can surely do my best to pose with NEW Pinoy theme inspired Globe Tattoo Stick.

Just take your best photo with the NEW Pinoy theme inspired Globe Tattoo Stick and post it on the Globe Tattoo Broadband Fan Page in facebook. If you get enough votes, you win the tickets!

Check out the full guidelines and visit the Globe Tattoo Broadband Fan Page in facebook for more information.

If you were ever a fan of The Killers at some point in your life, I guess it’s a fair bet to say you would just love to meet them in person. Here is your chance.

Last Friday, we launched the contest to get free tickets to the concert via our Facebook fan page. This is essentially the extension of that contest. The mechanics work pretty much the same way.

We launched the NEW designs for Globe Tattoo sticks today, January 18, 2010. They look like this:

pinoy akoThis is how you join.

1. Take a picture of yourself with the NEW Pinoy theme inspired Globe Tattoo Sticks and post it on our Facebook fan page.

2. The top 5 entries with the most “likes” wins one (1) ticket and they get to meet and greet The Killers. You’ll get to talk and take pictures with the guys who did Mr. Brightside.

3. At 9PM, of January 28, 2010, the contest cuts off. We will no longer accept submissions or count the “likes” past January 28, 2010 at 9PM.

4. We will announce the names of the winners on this blog on the evening of January 28, 2010.

5. Winners must confirm by texting their names and contact details (landline number, cellphone number) to 0927-3890762.

6. Winners can claim their tickets on January 29, 2010 at 4th Floor, Globe Telecom Tower 2, Pioneer St., Mandaluyong City. Look for any Digital Marketing representative. Or at the concerts grounds, January 31st. Again, just look for Globe representatives.

7. Unclaimed/unconfirmed tickets will be given away in another contest on January 30, 2010.

8. In case there’s a tie, the pic submitted earlier will get the ticket.

Here’s to hoping I get to buy my Globe Tattoo Broadband stick tomorrow so I can still join the contest. Here’s to hoping that my photo gets me the ticket!

Running: Chi Running

Running has been gaining a vast amount of popularity and more and more people are looking for ways to run more efficiently. I myself have been trying out new ways of running. As far as I can remember, I some how saw myself running with my forefoot and midfoot landing first rather than the heels of my feet. I never knew about Chi Running back then and I always thought I was a very weird person to be running like that. I kept on running the same way I ran back then as I am running now. I felt like an outcast up until I learned and got introduced to other runners who ran in the same manner.

I remember reading Bald Runner’s post about Newton Shoes and right then and there, I knew I wasn’t alone in the world anymore. As I got to meet more and more Takbo.ph peeps, I got to meet more and more runners who ran in the same way I did. I guess if you’re not really a runner, you wouldn’t really know about mid/fore-foot strike running up until you really get serious.

I kept on running with my midfoot landing first and it really kept me injury free and fast. The key to running lessening the impact on your joints going down and if you land with you’re heel, there is instant impact that reverberates up to your knees and it could get pretty painful over time. Running with your midfoot landing first makes running a lot more fun, albeit, bearable for others.

I was so happy to read about Chi Running. They made me feel less of a freak. Chi Running’s form really had some thought put into it.
