Walking + a Music Player + Earphones

Lately, i've been conscious about my food intake. I blogged last week about taking in fruits with an empty stomach. Well, in relation to that, i buy these fruits in a nearby fruits stand close to our place, where i have to walk for more than ten minutes or more.  Not only that these fruits are fresh but the cost is much cheaper compared when getting it from the Super Market nearby. Let me check! Uhm, i do walk around 2-3 times a week going to the fruits stand. The reason i do not hoard fruits such as bananas are they easily get ripen. So i decided to regularly walk and buy fruits.

Although i enjoyed walking eversince my childhood days, i never realized that bringing in a music player with my earphones could be so much fun, in the sense that i took note of the songs that has been played during the course of my journey(Ofcourse i did this too back in Pinas when I was jogging in Luneta and within Baywalk but i never appreciated it much just like now) . You might find it corny, but hey! it's awesome! Not only does it enhance your imagination while walking but also, it gives some soothing effect especially that i'm always alone going back and forth.

The feeling - "it's very far, ahh! i'll do it next time" easily goes away from the corners of my mind as i foresee the excitement it brings. Another thing that i observed about walking, is its ability to give clear thinking, it's like, it gives room for you to see out-of-the-box situation especially if i'm torn in a knotty problem at work or something's bothering in the back of my mind, i resorted to this brisk walking! and the effect is quite remarkable, i can feel the results immediately. Like suddenly! it gave me an idea on how to solve such a certain problem i crossed.

Just 3 hours back, i came from the fruits stand and here's the list of songs that has been played on my phone.

Going to the fruit stand:
BoyzIIMen - I'll Make Love To You
SpiceGirls - 2 Become 1
Maroon5 - She Will Be Loved
Michael Learns To Rock - Nothing to Lose

Going back home:
Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want
Linkin Park - Crawling
Drew Barrymore & Hugh Grant - Wayback Into Love
Apo - Kabilugan ng Buwan

Uhm, finally i did it again! And i'm dead serious, this has became a habit for me, i'm enjoying it. On the mindset, i know deep inside the real benefits of walking, im happy to take note that i'm flavoring it with a touch of appreciation to music.
