If I may complain.. (and I tell you I’m no good at this).
Autoreview:
My brother’s name is missing in the race results(!!). Forgive me, I am not, and I repeat - I am NOT, normally easily irked with discrepancies like this, except for this time.
So yes, it’s okay to publish his finish time, it’s not a secret. Double check your data.
Man my bro has been bugging me what his official finish time was(!) and now that results are finally out, I remain empty-handed. And I can only tell him, ’sorry, guess they skipped you’.
Sorry, it’s the boy’s first race. You can imagine an excitement level way above the normal, for him and for a doting Ate.
So I sent them an email asking them to double-check their data. I need to confess that I said that in a bit-pissed-kinda-demanding-but-trying-to-be-nice-still tone. Afterall, my boy isn’t really a medalist or something.
Just plain excited for being a first-timer, and that excitement they – unfortunately - squashed.
Nevertheless it’s not too late. Autoreview, gimme, please.
(BTW, the above isn’t what I emailed them. Hahaha. For that would be emo-much.)

Wow, I’m sorry to hear that Cath. Nothing really sucks more than having all that hard work, anxiety, and anticipation squashed by not having your name appear on the results list. It’s like all that training went to naught. I hope that Autoreview could fix it for your brother!
Regards,
Luis

Tell me about it, Luis. But I guess we wouldn’t be this affected if it weren’t a first race for my bro – you know, the excitement of first-timers, hehe. Thanks man! Yes, I hope they fix it soon.
BTW congrats for putting up your new blog. I’ll have to pay a visit to it again soon. Nice writing eh!

ey cathoffness!
first of all congrats to your younger bro.
pero im sure baka andyan lang yan 
[patience is a hard thing to exhibit at times, but you know, it's also a virtue hahaha]
yup hassle it is not to find his name in the finisher’s list. maybe his bib number’s there? its so much a hassle when everything you’ve worked hard for goes unnoticed noh? tipong you wanna strangle the sagot out from them hehehe
see you around cath! takbo na tayo ulit hoffness!

Not even his bib number, Tim. Ngeks talaga.
Thanks for the mini-sermon on Patience. Now you got a fallback career in guidance counselling, hehehe!

Ow men, that really sucks! It’s his first time and he didn’t even get to see officially how he fared? Sige pagsabihan mo nga yung mga yun at ng madala, hehe. “Don’t mess with a hoff!”
Haay naku Dhenz, wala pa rin. Mad hoffess now I am.
