Another day is another story, another experience to cherished.We posted an invitation in PMTB if they want to join us and here it was came to be a very exciting ride with Doc Mel, Al, Ed, Ka Cesar, Jeremy, and of course with my co-riders: Ely, Sir Allan, and Raymond.Here are some

I just want to share this humor narrated by my older sister about her daughter.One evening, Kuya Toto, one of my big brother (I am the youngest among the siblings of my parents) which happens to have a dark complexion visits in the house of Ate Nora. Suddenly my niece Mesica came with cotton saturated with alcohol in her left hand and applied it to the skin of Kuya Toto. Kuya Toto is amazed, so

October 18, 2008, it was Saturday again and of course our usual weekend addiction of going off-road places to seek the excitement in mountain biking. Now Sir Allan and I are changing our view of mountain biking, our objective is to go on places while biking and take some pictures of the trails and portraits of ourselves.It is unusual for us to go alone, also our friends in PMTB invited us to join

It was Saturday again (October 11, 2008) we're joined by one of our office mate Sir Toti on our usual weekend bike run. At first, the plan is to find Ipo dam in Norzagaray then the Angat Dam also in Norzagaray then to have lunch in Nina's Itikan in Pandi believing that it is a short ride only but it's not. It took many hours of uphill pedaling until we reached the Ipo dam and it's sad to say that

It was Saturday (October 4, 2008) and it was our first time to ride in Bulacan trail. As Whoopi of PMTB invited us in Norzagaray, we just say yes.I sent a message to Ka Leo, one of the mountain bike addict and oldies but goodies hehehe to wait for us in Jollibee Tungko to bring us in meeting point in Norzagaray rotonda. He said, "Ok lets meet by 6 Jollibee Tungko" so we decided to wake by 3 in

It was October 1, 2008 celebrating the Eidl’l Fitr or the last day of Ramadan as declared by President Arroyo in her Presidential Proclamation 1625 declaring the day as holiday. Since it was a Wednesday, Ely and I decided to go on short ride biking but we end up riding around 102 kilometers.It was one of the nice ride I have.

I was 14 years old when I enrolled in High School with the support of my parents and the Barangay funds. It was a more difficult challenge in my life since the distance between school and the house is far. Going to school and back home takes 1 to 2 hours of walk, a ride in a jeep, and another ride in a tricycle.My high school life revolves in my Alma Mater(Gen. Licerio Geronimo Memorial National

I was 9 years old when I enrolled in Elementary that's why I am the oldest in the class in my first grade. I was living in the mountain above the barrio Sabangan, the barrio after Wawa which means it takes almost 2 hours walk just to have education (by the way we are the only family living in that mountain until now). I was the youngest of family and the only one going to school alone and no one

Wawa Dam is located in Wawa Barangay San Rafael Rodriguez (Montalban), Rizal. Many of the tourist attracted to visit this place because it is very near in Metro Manila. It also has an enchanted image of nature which attracts photographers to capture their best shots. In 1980's, the dam is left open for the public after the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) abandoned the area and

I was really amazed when I heard about the place "Gubat Sa Ciudad" (forest in the city), how it can be? Our country is over crowded with its population of about 90.46 million people according to the National Statistics Office in the year 2008. But it's true, there is a forest in the city.Gubat Sa Ciudad is located between the boundaries of Caloocan, Quezon City and Bulacan. The place is separated

Mountain biking is really interesting hobby most specially if you want to burn some fats and unwind in stress. We do mountain biking to go on places, to feel the beauty of mother nature and to have some fun.Picture taken by Allan BarredoNow the group is composed of 5 persons namely from left to right:Owen, George, Raymond, Sir Allan, and Ely.

They said try to play because it is a source of staying young. But what will happen if you play all the time? Just a matter of curiosity. Because for me, playing is good only if you do it with proper control of yourself because without control it might bring you to nothing. Always ask yourself what you do today, if that is what you want to be tomorrow?

Got a bunch of books but there is no place to study. I always study hard everyday to prepare in my board examination but there is always a distraction. Lots of topics I must read and review and put in my memory but I can't find a place to do it.I know there is no perfect place like I want to find but someone must consider those who need a place to concentrate. I am not asking a complete silence

Being a "gentleman" is being in a gender of a male (man). In the Philippines, "gentleman" means offering your seat when you are in a bus, train, or even in a jeepney to a lady, female, girl, pregnant woman, and most especially to the elders. Or walking with a girlfriend in street placing the man in a danger side. Or offering the hand to pull up anyone in climbing a steep path. Or offering a help

The answer is simple. I just want to share my experience to those who I doesn't know but might come to ask things I really know. I am not a selfish person to keep my knowledge and experience as treasure so that no one will know. Share it even so little thing but might help to someone. I don't care, even if no one drop bye on this blogs, but I know someone will find his way.

It was December 31, 2007, the day before the New Year (2008) comes. I wake up early and prepare myself to celebrate our tradition in MiCOM; we called it “Culture Day”. We do that every year by watching movies that joined in Metro Manila Film Festival. The objective is simple, for us a Filipino citizen must remember our culture, our tradition, our traits and also to cultivate our life

Who are these ill-mannered person barking below the Pantranco pedestrian bridge? What are they doing?They are called BARKER here in Philippines. I know other country don't have these people (Wala sila noon, sa Pilipinas lang meron nyan!). What they did is to call a passenger by shouting the specific destination.

A colony of notorious killers and hideout of illegal drug peddlers which is located in the right of the Arlegui bridge in Arlegui Street Quiapo Manila is called the "Little Vietnam". I don't know why they called it as Little Vietnam, but maybe because of its situation.Lastly the policemen recovered three dead bodies in the creek near beside the said place.

Self discipline is a hidden force that dictates the true man to a act what is right. It is a habit of decission to oppose the desire of oneself such as lazyness, ignorance and negligence. It is a matter of asking ourself, if I act like this, did the others is affected? It is simply as loving ourself but not taking for granted the rights of others. It is like obeying ourself but keeping in mind

Its white fine sand and clear water is the reason of why I keep in my memories the joy of visiting this place.left picture: taken by Francis Atendido, April 8, 2006It's a small island located at Candelaria, Zambales (the next town after Masinloc, Zambales).This island is more or less 1 kilometer from the town of Candelaria, Zambales.

Natatandaan ko pa ang sinabi ng speaker noon sa isang seminar sa aming school. Ang sabi nya "Lahat tayo ay may karapatan. Ngunit bawat karapatan ay may kaakibat na responsibilidad." Simple lang ang kanyang sinabi ngunit may mabigat na kahulugan.Gaya ng mga sumusunod na pagkakataon:Karapatan ng bawat isa ang magsaya (mag-inom, mag-videoke) ngunit tungkulin din ng bawat isa ang igalang ang

(Nakakatuwa kasi ng maligo kami dito umagang umaga matapos kami mag-breakfast, iyun kailangan mong baliktarin ang paniwala mo gaya ng wag mo isiping malamig. Iyun nakakigo talaga ang ilan sa amin habang yung iba nagkasya na lang na panoorin kami).left picture: taken by Allan Barredo, February 3,

Gusto ko lang po i-share ang ilan sa mga paborito kong tricky question. Heto po ang ilan at sana'y maibigan nyo:NOTE: Para malaman ang tamang sagot, i-highlight lang po ang nakatagong sagot pagkatapos ng word na "SAGOT".1. Isang araw inutusan ka ng nanay mo na bumili ng kalamansi at binigyan ka ng piso (1 peso). Pag dating mo sa tindahan, nagtanong ka sa tindera kung magkano ang kalamansi. Tatlo

Sa mga stress na aking nararanasan sa araw-araw hindi ko maiwasan ang maghanap ng mga posibleng lunas at paraan upang mabawasan ang mga agam-agam, takot at pangamba sa aking isipan dahil nga ako ay isang Engineering student.Minsan naisip ko ang umuwi sa aming province na di naman kalayuan sa Manila at doon mag-UNWIND. Ang plano ko ay mamimingwit(catching fish using hook and string attach to a

Marami man ang nakakaasar at nakakasira ng araw na pagkakataon na maaring mangyari sa iyong pagsakay sa isang pampasaherong jeep, meron din namang nakakatuwang parte kung iyo lang oobserbahan. Gaya nito:Ale: Mama magkano po ang Quiapo?("Hehehe. Naku ale mahal po ang Quiapo.." sa isip ko)O di naman kaya ay ganito ang situation:Ale: Mama bayad po.Driver: Saan ito?Ale: Isa lang(Oooops teka ano ba

Nakakainis talaga ang ilan sa ating mga kapulisan. Natatandaan ko pa ng ako ay may nakasakay na isang estudyanteng tulad ko. Umagang umaga noon papasok pa lang ako sa isang di kilalang unibersidad dyan sa ka-Quiapoan. Ikinuwento ng estudyante na na-holdup daw sya noong umagang iyun mga bandang alas syite (7 AM) habang nakasakay sa isang pampasaherong jeep. Ang sabi pa, ang ikinapagtataka pa nya

I was riding a public utility jeepney everyday to school. My school is somewhere in Quiapo, Manila. In my everyday life, I experience the traffic in Espana which in worse case sometimes late in my first subject, the flood that can result to a five hours or more hours of jeepney ride going home. That two are the major problems that anyone can experienced. Not to mention some of dirty secrets of
