Riding the Trails of Sta. Ines

2013-12-11T02:57:00.001+08:00

The ride started with a favorable weather. Everything seems to be great and uneventful until we got to Kinabuan falls. It began to rain...hard. The river's water level turned the calm currents into raging torrents. Crossing rivers to get back to our vehicles became a difficult, if not impossible, task. Needles to say, we got to the nearest Barangay after traversing dark, narrow, steep,

Solo Bike Ride from QC to Boracay

2012-11-06T18:54:00.001+08:00

I'm not gonna let the long weekend pass by without doing some riding. I decided to go on a solo bike ride to Boracay... Actually, my initial plan was to go to Lubang Island. I'll tell you more about it later. I left our house in Novaliches exactly 6:45am. The plan was to leave at dawn but my alarm clock didn't seem to cooperate. I'm headed towards Batangas Port. The ride going to there was

Japanese Karinderya

2011-10-02T15:49:00.004+08:00

After my wife saw this episode on Poptalk, she demanded that we pay Mr. Suzuki, a Japanese cruise ship chef of 20 years, a visit. We searched the net for directions. We found out that it is located along Hermosa St. corner Clemente St in Tondo. Took out OVI Maps and looked for the best route going there. It's really easy to find. We got there around 1pm but they won't open till 5pm. So we went

Turn your iMac into an Access Point

2011-06-29T11:34:00.000+08:00

I needed a Wireless Internet connection at the office to connect my phone so I could update it, none was available so I created my own Access Point. I used my iMac's Airport as an AP. My iMac's is connected to the internet using Ethernet. Here is how you do it: 1. Click on the Apple logo on the upper left corner of your screen > Select "System Preference", A window will pop out. 2. Under "

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:

Something I got from my E-mail. I think most guys can relate to what's written here. ====================================================== WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED: Men Are Just Happier People -- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You

My New Bike

2011-02-15T14:34:00.001+08:00

When I got in to cycling, the first bike I fell in love with was the 2010 GT Aggressor. I didn't get to own that bike, I got the 2010 Vision 1.5 instead. I was happy with the bike but not completely. Though the Vision didn't gave me any problems and performed quite well, I wasn't 101% happy with it. I guess I should have gotten what I fell in love with in the first place. So I sold the Vision 1.5

A Culture of Impunity

2010-11-03T03:21:00.003+08:00

With the recent scandal involving a Hong Kong-based labor attaché, I can't help but ponder why our government is in terrible shape. Much as we don't want to face it, We have a flawed culture that tolerates dishonesty, ass-kissing the boss, doing under the table deals, screwing over your country by taking bribes from suppliers (ZTE scandal), pirating talent are all celebrated and the creativity

An afternoon ride to the Bay

2010-04-14T01:37:00.000+08:00

It was suppose to be a ride somewhere else. I have Sierra Madre in mind but the intense summer heat has prevented me from riding early making me change course. I thought of going to Dragon Noodle Center and try their special lugaw but I don't know where exactly that place is. I just saw it on my ride buddy's facebook page. He's online..good...asked him for direction...it's just a few meters

Tekken Movie Trailer (2010)

2010-01-15T13:09:00.001+08:00

I'm expecting this movie to be F.O.S but I'm still going to watch it because I'm a huge Tekken Fan.

Scootering Calatagan

2009-09-09T16:50:00.002+08:00

My latest trip to the south rewarded me with another unforgettable find. I guess getting lost sometimes has its benefits. Two of my friends who are new to long distance riding, asked me to plan for a ride going south. I told them we could go to Taal and visit Taal Church and other old, spanish style houses there...but we got lost.We left

Fried or Roasted...Chicken?

2009-08-28T18:31:00.000+08:00

However you want it you can now have them at Jollibee. This is their answer to Mang Inasal's dominance in the Roasted Chicken market.One piece chicken meal costs about 80pesos, the meal includes a cup of Java Rice, Atsara (side dish) and a special sauce. Is it good? you asked... GO try it for yourself.

A Not So Solo Sunday Ride

2009-08-28T17:56:00.006+08:00

Finally a time off. What better way to shrug off a weekload of stress than to go on a solo ride. I decided to ride alone...I just wanted to savor the mountain roads and the crisp air that Marilaque has to offer.A couple of hours of riding the twisty mountain roads, I ended up in Famy Laguna.There I met a rider who was also riding solo. We shared stories then he asked me where will I go next. I

Clear view

2009-07-29T04:22:00.001+08:00

Just got my new pair of glasses and I'm so happy on how clear everything is now. I can't believe I waited this long to have my older pair replaced. The frame is by Dunlop and Lens is from Executive Optical. Can't wait to go riding out of town with these on.

Scooter vs Truck

2009-07-01T23:49:00.007+08:00

I love riding the twisty back roads going to Infanta Quezon. But things don't always go perfectly specially when you come across a truck driver that thinks he's Mario Andretti.

My new SYM DD

2009-02-02T03:42:00.000+08:00

New year, New Bike! My first bike was a Honda Dio 50cc. This is where I got my love for biking. I learned so much technical stuff and had a lot of "first" with this bike. I really miss riding the small and nimble bike thats why I decided to get a new scoot. I was hunting for a Honda DIO2 but ended up with a SYM DD. The one I got came from Bacoor Cavite, the owner decided to sell the DD because

Merry Christmas Everyone! I had a great christmas, spend it riding the mountain roads of Laguna. Actually, I just wanted to ride on christmas day as a gift to myself. I don't really have a destination in mind. I wanted to push further and further but the weather isn't cooperating. It started to rain hard after 3 hours of riding. I decided to head back. I had my fill. A not so merry christmas. On

Yeah! Downtempo chill music on my PSP. Try it!

The Best Pares in Town

2008-07-19T20:38:00.000+08:00

I've seen a lot of discussion on which pares is the best and most of the time, Pares in Retiro and the one near Espana tops the list. Their Pares is good but nothing can compare to Enteng's Pares. He sells his pares from his Tricycle turned Mobile-Fastood. He can often be seen near Holy Cross Cemetery in Novaliches. The rich flavor of his beef stew and fried rice is really a must try for any

We're Brothers Forever : Renaldo Lapuz

2008-01-18T02:59:00.000+08:00

I love watching the auditions at American Idol and this year, I think, I saw the guy that will de-throne William Hung. His name is Renaldo Lapuz. I did some search on yahoo answers and found out that he is a Filipino. You gotta love this guy...very funny, very entertaining and has a very warm personality. I hope we haven't seen that last of him. Now, can anyone tell me how to get his song out of

Menace on 3 wheels

2007-12-26T02:46:00.000+08:00

Christmas, time for miracles, booze and accidents. I've witnessed a tricycle flipped on its back when it tried to cut off a jeep thats making a left turn. I quickly pulled my camera and was able to take some shots. By standers was quick to offer assistance. I think I heard someone say "sayang di pa namatay" at the back...or was it just in my head? oh well..good thing no one else was hurt. I guess

Scooter Ride from Manila to Matnog

2007-10-19T23:27:00.000+08:00

At last, I was finally able to ride to Matnog. The first time I was suppose to go there got postponed at the very last minute because my wife suffered a terrible tummy ache. It was very disappointing but I have to cancel...family always comes first....and so I waited.... 6 months later, I recieved an SMS from my ride buddy, Gino. He was asking if I'd like to join them on a long ride to Matnog.

Election Season

2007-04-10T15:32:00.000+08:00

One thing I hate about the campaign season is the junk candidates posts everywhere. Some of them have photos on their banners that looks more like they are campaigning for Miss World, others just took the photos from thier friendster acount.Is this the kind of people we're going to vote, posting their garbage anywhere they want?What a wasteland!!!!

KYMCO People Plays Starring Role In ABC TV

2007-04-01T14:19:00.000+08:00

Found this over at http://www.strmotorsports.com/Hollywood, CA — To instantly convey that a major female character in its new crusading-lawyers drama is aware, independent, and practical-yet-daring, Disney/Touchstone producers took a visual shortcut — they put her on a KYMCO People 50 scooter.read more

Ride to Marilaque

2006-12-05T17:51:00.000+08:00

I toook my scooter out for a ride to marilaque last sunday. I couldn't find anyone to ride with so I went ahead...solo. I left the house at 1:30pm. Most of the jologs rider had gone home by this time. I saw a lot of "lot for sale" there and it got me thinking... hmmm.. I could live there. I had a fun ride, traffic was almost zero, nice blue sky weather and the cool crisp air gently carresing my

My New Scoot

2006-12-05T17:14:00.000+08:00

Presenting...My new Scooter! tada! its a Kymco People 150. I can get 35kms per liter with this pony. I was attracted mainly with its looks, a retro styled scoot in a wierd kind of why. I get a lot of "vintage yan?" or "luma yan noh?" comments at the gas station whenever I have to fill her up. Like my other bikes, I expect a lot of great adventure with this baby.
