A "should have been" a day to make a history. But what happen?

Bikers from different places up north like Valenzuela, Bulacan, Pampanga, and from down south, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Batangas, Laguna and other parts of Metro Manila, we all gathered together to be part of the WORLD HISTORY, we out-numbered the 1,186 bikers in Bangladesh by 4,200 Filipino Bikers. 

Preparation. 

The Event "Bike History - Bike ride from historical landmarks to World Trade Center Manila" has been posted more than a month before the said event date by Jhay Galang https://www.facebook.com/jhay.galang.9. That's why every bike group leaders invited and gathered all their members to participate in the event. who doesn't want to be part of the history, no one right? It's a long preparation for every group. During that day, we woke up early and together and ride out at 5:00 in the morning and pedal our way to WTC. We arrived before 6:30 in the morning, we are early birds! Hooray! We registered our group and individual members. Some bikers who want to have freebies and want to go inside WTC are required to pay a sum of 500 pesos. I just don't know how many have paid or should I say, how many have been scammed, are you one of them? 

So what really happen?

It's already 9:00 in the morning and we're still stuck up outside. No one is giving instructions on what to do, what not and what will happen next. No organizer can be seen outside, no microphones, no stage, no speakers. Nothing at all! just so many bikers that are ready to be grilled under the heat of the sun. Our stomachs are getting angry, we are all hungry. So we decided to go outside the parking lot and find food to eat. While cycling outside the vicinity, we saw our fellow bikers biking together in group, so we decided to come back to WTC because we think it's already the start of the much-awaited ride of the World History, at last! But while waiting for our turn to be inserted in the long queue of bikers, a fellow biker came to us and told us that the ride has already been started. Like what?! we've been waiting for hours in the parking lot for nothing. What happen? Hmm, I think the paid bikers were the priorities. But nevertheless, there should be a proper coordination and organization. There's no program to follow at all, all vehicles outside are getting angry to the bikers due to the traffic created.

What should have been done?

There should be a proper program flow. The roads outside WTC should have been blocked to other vehicles, it should have been exclusively open for bikers only. There should be a host or emcee or organizer that is responsible for giving instructions on what to do and the likes. But there's nothing, there's nothing at all. We are all disappointed.

Result? 

Almost all bikers who joined the event were angry to Jhay Galang, the person responsible for this shit, oh sorry Jhay, you're really in trouble now. You make us all angry to you! it should be a great day to make a history, but it all turns out to be a misery. 

Oh congratulations, by the way, your name is so "MABANGO" in the community of the History Con, you did it Jhay! Great Endeavor huh? wow! It's so nice of you! But you cannot get away from us, from all the bikers you have bump, from all the bikers you have caused pain, from all the bikers who travel long just to be part of your so called History ride. Congratulations once again! 

Your sorry is not enough sir Jhay Galang, please tell us more. 

So the event ended to be the biggest TamBIKE in the Philippine History ever. Thanks to my group "Las Piñas Mountain Bike Group" thanks for being organized. And to all bikers who joined the event, Kudos to us all! We can really say that we are all united as one. Thank you. We did it. We're part of the Histerrifc Con. LOL.

Masakit ang First Time

Pasok pa din nang naka bisikleta, bike is life kasi 

ang hapdi nung nadampian ng tubig 

Betadine, laking tulong, pero basic ang sakit! 

                                                                      At last, natapalan na siya. 

Naranasan mo na ba ang unang sakit? Yung hapdi, yung kirot, yung pagpilipit, ang pagkauntog sa sobrang likot, ang paghampas sa pader at sa sahig dahil sa sobrang intense, naranasan mo na bang magkaroon ng pasa sa sobrang sarap pero fulfilling? pakiramdam mo buo ka na, pakiramdam mo isa ka ng ganap na tao. Parang gusto mo pang umisa pa, parang gusto mo pang ulitin pa, kasi sa mga susunod, alam mong hindi ka na masasaktan, kasi naranasan mo na, alam mo na, handa ka na, at mapaghahandaan mo pa lalo ang bawat sakit at hapding paparating at lalasapin. 

Ganito sa mundo ng pagbibisikleta, hindi mo talaga maiiwasan ang sakuna at disgrasya. Halos isang taon na din pala akong nahuhumaling sa mundo ng bike, parang parte na talaga siya ng pang araw-araw kong buhay, parang hindi ko na kayang malayo pa or humiwalay sa kanya. Kapag papasok sa trabaho ito na yung service ko, less hassle, iwas traffic at wala pang gagastusing pamasahe. Pati sa pamamasyal lalo na sa malalayong lugar, bike na talaga ang aking kasa-kasama, parang ang bilis kasing makapunta sa lugar na gusto mong puntahan, ikaw ang master ng sarili mong destinasyon at sasakyan. 

Pero lahat ng bagay o pangyayari ay hindi perpekto. Lahat ng bagay ay hindi puro sarap ang mararanasan at malalasap, lahat ng bagay ay may kasamang sakit. Oo masaya, ang gaan sa pakiramdam, until last night, nung unang beses kong naranasan ang sumemplang. Gabi na, madilim sa kalsada, pauwi na kami ng mga kagrupo ko sa bisikleta, nang bigla kaming natumba ng aking pinakamamahal na bisikleta. Dahil na naubusan na ng charge ang aking ilaw, hindi ko napansin na papalapit na pala ako sa humps, ito yung umbok sa kalsada, medyo tumabingi yung gulong ko kaya natumba kami, maliit na galos lang naman sa siko ang aking nakuha, pero may mga pasa sa ibang parte ng aking katawan, medyo masakit din ang likod, balikat at braso, pero ayos lang. Napaupo ako, at nagtanong sa akin ang isa sa mga kaibigan ko "Okay ka lang? anong masakit sayo?" at ang sagot ko "Ayos lang ako, yung bike ko kaya?" haha, imbis na sarili ang isipin, bike pa din talaga. Pero serysoso, okay lang ako. Masarap mag bike. Pero dapat palagi tayong handa, palaging kumpleto dapat ang ating mga kagamitan kapag tayo ay papadyak. 

Lesson learned, magdala ng extrang ilaw. 

Lindol Fever

Anong ginagawa mo pagkatapos ng lindol? 

Karamihan sa atin ay ang isa sa pinakaunang gagawin ay ang  pag oonline or paglo-log-in sa kani-kanilang social media accounts para ipost ang kasulukuyang sakuna na nangyari. Bakit nga ba tayo ganito? 

Halimbawa sa mga ito ay ang mga sumusunod: 

1. Ang lakas ng lindol, nakakatakot. 

2. Be safe everyone.

3. Hindi ko naramdaman ang lindol, manhid na ba ako?

4. And any other stuffs related to lindol. 

Yung iba parang mga reporter, which is nakakatulong din naman, yung iba naman may magnitude pang kasama, ang bibilis talaga ng mga radar nila. May iba naman idinadaan sa hugot, lalo na yung mga malulungkot. Meron ding mga hashtag king and queens, I know you know what I mean. 

Pero, bakit nga ba tayo ganito? Parang nagiging diary na talaga ng bawat isa ang social media, halos kasi lahat nandito na, pati ata ang pagpasok sa banyo ay ipinopost pa, nararamdaman ko, konting-konti na lang talaga, tuluyan na tayong kakainin ng sistema ng social media, o baka nalamon na tayo? nalunok na ba tayo? baka naman na digest na? or baka anak na tayo, anak na tayo ng social media kaya ganon na lang tayo ka-darang sa kanila. Masyado na tayong nagpapapalamon, nagpapagamit, tulad ko habang sinusulat ko to, ipopost ko din ito sa social media para makarating ang mga bawat salitang isinusulat ko at gusto kong ibahagi sa inyo. 

Ganito na ba talaga talaga tayo? 

Hindi ba dapat ang una nating nararapat na gawin ay ang kamustahin ang ating mga mahal sa buhay kung nasa mabuting kalagayan ba sila pagkatapos ng nangyaring sakuna? Malakas man ito o hindi, nakapinsala man o hindi. 

Sana maisip pa din natin ang pinaka basic na foundation ng buhay, ng society, ito ay ang pamilya, bago ang lahat. Pamilya muna. 

Just my few cents. 

Bakit Parang Invisible Ang Mga Bisikleta Sa Kalsada?

                                                           

                                         LMBG Nuvali Ride

                                          LMBG Wawa Dam Ride

                Nakakailang bell ka na, minsan napapasigaw pa, minsan nakakasalubong mo na, nagkatitigan pa sa mga mata, pero hindi ka ba nagtataka? Bakit parang hindi ka nila nakikita?
Ilang beses na ba tayong nag bibisikleta sa kalsada at ilang ulit na tayong nagbigay ng babala sa mga nakakasalubong or nakakasabay natin na tayo ay paparating? Bakit parang tayo ay mga multong tila hindi nila nakikita o nararamdaman? Parang mga hangin na hindi maaninag kahit anong pilit, pero mas mabuti pa nga ang hangin dahil kahit papano'y nararamdaman pa din.

                Ano nga ba ang mga rason kung bakit nangyayari ang mga iyon? Ang mga sumusunod ay base lamang sa aking personal na karanasan.

1. Pagkat tayo ay Bisikleta lamang.

                Siguro, dahil tayo ay pumapadyak lang, tingin nila ay ayos lang na hindi tumabi sa kalsada kasi hindi naman natin sila tatamaan, saka kung tatamaan, hindi naman siguro malakihan kapag nagasgasan. AT hindi tayo katulad ng mga malalaking sasakyan na kapag may nabangga ay siguradong baka sa morgue ang hantungan. Pero minsan, porket maliit lang tayo, hindi nila tayo maysadong pinapansin. Ano nga ba naman tayo? ano nga ba naman tayo kumpara sa mga naglalakihang mga sasakyan sa kalsada?

2. Kawalan ng Respeto ng karamihan sa mga siklista.

               Minsan ba nakaranas na kayong masabihan na "bike lang naman yan eh" kaya wala na silang respeto sa atin. Hindi na nila naiisip na kahati nila tayo sa kalsada. Hindi nila naiisip na lahat tayo may karapatan sa paggamit ng kalsada.


               Nakakagigil diba? pakiramdam ko talaga invisible ako, pakiramdam ko talaga hindi nila ako nakikita, kahit nakakailang bell at sigaw na ako, pero sila? tititigan ka lang na parang hindi ka nag eexist, anong meron? anong wala? bulag ba sila? bingi ba sila? Kaya minsan, tayo na lang talaga ang dapat mag adjust, kaya ingat ingat na lang palagi sa pag padyak.

               Kung may maidadagdag kayo sa mga rason, paki comment na lang para maidagdag natin sa listahan.
Ride safe!

Top 6 Reasons why Everyone Should Bike to Work

                   It's me on my uniform, but I didn't go to work like this. Wear proper attire guys.

                My first ever picture of biking to work. Taken last year, somewhere in November.  

Oh! it's work day again, are you feeling not so excited to go to work because of the heavy traffic caused by lots of public vehicles in the Philippines? Does it make your head aches? Does it make you just stay in your home and be with your pillow and bed? Why not bike to work? Here are some reasons why you should do it now.

1. Fitness

Biking or cycling is a form of exercise, just like jogging and running, it could burn lots of calories and fats, it lowers blood pressure, build muscles, boosts energy, it also improves cardiovascular and aerobic fitness. It has a lot of good benefits to do with your health. No more time to exercise? Go for a bike to work.

2. Fun and Happiness

Biking is so fun to do. It feels like you teleport to the past and brings back your childhood memories of biking around your place with your friends. If you are doing something fun, it would generate happiness within you. Biking every day to work can reduce stress and anxiety and it could boost self-confidence.

2. Brainpower

Biking can make your brain sharp and make you smarter. It can improve overall brain performance, it can make you think fast and well. I guess it could make you a better employee too, am I right?

4. Money

Biking does not require a fuel because you won't be needing your car anymore, you will be able to save a lot of money, biking to work is a fare free activity and hobby. I guess you know that already.

5. Convenience

Biking could make you get to work early, it's a hassle free activity because you won't go through the hell of traffic on the road, parking won't be a problem too, the bike doesn't need a large parking space. Oh, do not forget to bring your bike lock with you.

5. Freedom

You just don't know how it feels when you are on your two wheels. You will feel free, free from stress and other headaches caused by different stressors of the world. You can also go and roam around your city after work with your bike, you can stop for a coffee or dinner at your speed and pace. Sometimes, you will meet someone like you, it may be a person or a group of people with the same hobby.

Are you ready to be happy and free? Bike to work now. Tell us your experiences.

Oopps do not forget to wear safety gears. Happy biking!  

You'll Learn How to Let Go

Mahirap bumitaw, yan ang palagi nating sinasabi lalo na kung mahal natin ang isang tao o bagay
Kahit ayaw na sa atin, sige pa rin, laban pa din
Kahit isinusuka na tayo, mahigpit pa din tayong kumakapit
At sila ay pinipilit na huwag tayong ipagpalit

Minsan hindi nating mapigilang sisihin ang tadhana
Bakit napakalupit ng kanilang handa
Sa una sobrang saya ng mga alay
Pag naglaon, bigla na lang tumatamlay

"Hindi ko kaya" yan ang sambit mo
"Kakapit pa din ako hanggang sa makakaya ko"
Ngunit hanggang kailan ka nga ba kakapit?
Hanggang sa maranasan mo na lahat ng pait?

Sabagay, mas mabuting namnamin lahat ng pasakit
Nang sa gayo'y masanay na sa poot at sakit
Hayaan mo na, sarili'y huwag nang ipilit
Sigurado, sa kanila'y may naghihintay na kapalit

Larawan ni Lui Abanador​

Mga Panahong Hindi ka Niya Naaalala

Lumipas ang mga araw na naging abala ka sa ibang gawain. Ang hindi niya pag alala sayo ay hindi mo na napansin. Kamusta siya? Nasa mabuting kalagayan kaya? Masaya kaya siya? Nasa piling na kaya siya ng iba? Nasa ibang kanlungan na ba at nag uumapaw ang ligaya?

Minsan hindi nating maiwasang hindi maging baliw o mag isip ng sobra. Oo, napakadali lang sabihin na "keep yourself busy, makakalimutan mo din siya" pero hindi eh, hindi ganoon kadali iyon. Lalo na kung wala ka naman sa ganoong kalagayan. Kailangan mo itong maranasan at masubukan para alam mo kung ano ang pakiramdam. Kahit sobrnag abala ka sa ibang gawain, kahit ang bente kuwatro oras ay dinadagdagan mo pa ng labing anim, gagawin ang lahat siya lang ay maiwasang isipin.

Ngunit, kahit anong gawin mong pag aabala sa iyong sarili, hindi mo pa rin talaga maikukubli na sa paglapag ng iyong pagod na katawan sa humihimlay mong papag ng higaan, bigla pa din talaga siyang sasagi sa iyong isipan, at magsasalita sa isip at mapapabuntong hininga.. "Ako pa din kaya ang nasa puso niya? O sinta, sana magbalik ka na.."

Wawa Dam Ride, San Mateo Rizal

                     Here we are again, another long ride for the weekend. April 9, 2017. We ride out at exactly 5 am at 711 BF resort, where we usually meet every time the group has a ride. We pass through CAA Road, then Sucat Road and we take Valley One, and then we exited to SM Bicutan until we reached the Laguna Lake Highway formerly known as C6 Road. Gosh C6 is like a trail, dusty and has a rough road, But everything went well when reached our destination! a beautiful and scenic Wawa Dam.

This is C6 Road, I have a short video of this ride, but couldn't upload, it says "file too large" haha so never mind, let's be contented with this picture anyway. 

So we arrive there, there's no entrance fee I think? because no one asks from us. We only had to pay for our bike parking which is 10 pesos only, not bad right? 

Cottage rate is 200 pesos. Not so big, not so small, just enough for 15 people. 

There is also a videoke or kareoke where aspiring singers and music lovers can sing, for only 5 pesos per song, you don't need to encode your song because someone will do it for you, she's kind, you'll feel like a queen or king, and her brow is on fleek! hahaha hi ate :-) Please don't be mad at me if you read this. 

    The water is so deep, but you can swim as long as you can control your breathing and of course you should know how to float, for you to be safe. 

This is the perfect view of the Dam.

Woop, at first I was afraid to jump or swim, I am imaging Anaconda around and under the water. 

Ohh sexy back? Not really, nice for the stolen shot Thine. What was I thinking here? "Come on let's go, let's go to the other side" 

And there I am, I really swam across the horizon hahaha

Here's a short poem from me to you

Magmahal ka ng biker
Mataas ang endurance niyan
Mahaba ang pasensya
Kaya ding magtiis at pigilan ang paghinga
Kayang tawirin at languyin ang ilog na doble pa ang lampas sa kanya
Palangoy pa kaya papunta sa minamahal niya?

And here's my other group from north side.. 

Las Piñas Mountain Bike Group meets Team Padyak Gear United and VMTB
Wawa Dam Ride
April 9, 2017
Magkaiba man ng grupo, ngunit nagkakaisa
Walang gulo, lahat ay masayang magkakasama
Walang inggitan, walang yabangan
Ganito ang mga grupong dapat tularan

  Bottomline, the ride is so fun, we bike 130+km two-way. Kudos to my team. More rides to come mates! Shout out to Marikina, BGC and San Mateo Rizal for a having a bike lane, thank you for loving us.

Bike ride to Pantihan Falls Maragondon Cavite

             I love biking slash cycling, I have a bike group in Las Piñas named Las Piñas Mountain Bike Group, it was created on January 13, 2017. Before, we used to ride in short distances only like Mall of Asia and Nuvali, but as the group is growing, long rides are expected every Sunday.

             One of our destination is Pantihan Falls in Maragondon Cavite, it was a 130km ride, wew that was tiring but fulfilling! We ride out in BF Las Piñas at exactly 4:30 in the morning, and we arrived at 9:30 am. Everyone is so enthusiastic and excited to see the beautiful view of the said falls.
Entrance fee is 10 pesos and 10 pesos for the bike, the cottage is 300 pesos. You can also order food for 150 pesos per head, someone will cook for you. Expensive? Do not worry, there's a store outside the Falls where you can order food for cheaper price, the have cooked dishes, and they can also cook a rice for your group, canned goods and drinks are also available, plus fruits are all for free! Amazing isn't it?

                                                             Amazing View from here

                                                             
                                                                  With Dragonfly :)

                                                             
                                                          Thinking of something

                                                             
                                                                             calm

                                                             With my beloved group

More rides to come LMBG! lab lab <3

Pagbangon

Ngayon na ang simula nang pagbangon 

Unti-unti na akong aahon

Hinding hindi na muli pang lilingon 

Sa mga nakaraang malalim ang baon

Madami pang pwedeng mangyari 

Pwede namang hindi ka na isali 

Itutuon ko muna ang lahat sa aking sarili

Baka sakaling magkaron ulit ako ng paki

Hindi ko na iikot pa ang aking mundo sayo

Gusto ko nang lahat ng sa ati'y maglaho 

Bahala na kung saan dadalhin nitong bagyo

Kung sa huli man ay magkikita pa din tayo, eh di go

Pero sa totoo, ako pa rin ay lito

Hindi maiwasang masira ang ulo

Isipin ko sa utak ay halo-halo

Pero gustong lahat ng ito ay tuluyan nang maglaho
