Tonight, I will be preparing for our 3-day epic ride from Davao to Cagayan de Oro. Just got the attackcdo.org decals, bought extra long valve CST interior, and got my salary! Deposited some cash then checking emails, updating some of my online events here in an internet cafe here in Divisoria before getting busy. I will be bringing some shirts, jerseys, bike gears, sleeping bag and keep 'em all in my awesome black Nike bag bought from divisoria night market a year ago.

Tomorrow, we will be leaving before sunrise to Quezon, Bukidnon where Cocoy Neri, a klub comrade, will be expecting us and show us this place where we could do some wall climbing and swimming in a spring. We will be having lunch there too! Sheep yeah! *hopefully if buhi pa ang karnero or we'll end up karne sa iro*

By night, we will be arriving Davao and spend our night there.

Friday, our bike journey begins. Setting up some light reflectors for an early morning take off from Davao then at some point, I am thinking of the ascends before reaching the Overview. It'll be awesome! We won't be riding at night so we will have to stop at Cocoy's place again for an overnight.

Saturday, bike ride to Cagayan de Oro. A route with more descends compare to Davao-Quezon. I've been to Malaybalay twice and biking from the city to Kisolon Terminal was actually no-sweat probably because of the cold wind from a 60kph bike speed. Thinking of the ascend in Mangima at noon would be one of the challenges in this epic ride. Traffic, buses, cars, smokes are expected.

Bukidnon as it's one of my favorite biking/tripping/visiting place in the planet, have been a magical place and even before when I was a kid, I have been visiting these places with my late mom as she enjoys collecting some orchids from Bukidnon.

As a cross-country mountain biker who have been travelling for 9 months now with my Rina the Rincon Giant hard tail bike, this epic ride surely be something that I'll be proud of. A story that I am gonna share to the whole world. A ride that will unveil paths and crossing different adventures in my life.

God speed!

1. The last thing you should be doing when you first meet a rider on or near the trails is look at his bike. Hindi yung bike ang potensyal mong maging kaibigan.
2. Unless safety ang reason, wag ka nang mag-comment sa pagkaka-set-up ng bike ng ibang riders. If you think you’re cool giving unsolicited advice na yung gulong nya ay hindi angkop sa trail or yung piyesa nya hindi okey, asa ka pa.
3. Unless close kayo, kapag nahihirapan na yung kasama mong rider during climbs, wag ka nang magbigay ng tips kung paano nya maaahon ng “madali” yung uphill section na yun. Wala syang paki sa tips mo at naghihingalo na sya.
4. Wag mong gamiting reason yung bike kapag meron kang kapalpakan sa trail. Kaya ka sumemplang dun sa turn na yun, hindi dahil kulang sa grip yung gulong, kulang ka sa skill. Kaya di mo maakyat yung uphill section, hindi dahil pumapalpak yung drivetrain mo, kailangan mong mag-ride more.
5. Kapag sumemplang yung isang rider, lalo na’t baguhan, tulungan mo agad tumayo, check for injuries, check the bike & ride when ready. Don’t spend an exhaustive time playing witness as to how the rider “made a mistake” which caused the crash. The rider will tell you what he/she thought happened & will ask you kung hindi nya alam.
6. Don’t tell other riders you “did it before” when you can’t even come close to doing it right there & then. Di rin naman sila maniniwala kung di nila na-witness nung ginawa mo yun dati. Magmumukha ka lang trying.
7. If there’s a difficult section on the trail that you know off, just give out the needed information on how to go about it & the potential dangers if there are any. Don’t spend 10 minutes telling them about the danger at tinatakot mo lang sila. If it really is THAT dangerous, then don’t take ‘em there.
8. When you’re telling stories of your riding escapades, stop making it sound you’re extreme. Hindi ka extreme, ‘tol. Merong mas extreme sa ‘yo, maniwala ka.
9. When a new rider is asking for tips, wag mong bigyan ng 2 pages worth of tips. One to three tips puwede na. Ikaw ba nag-register lahat ng sinabi ng titser mo during that 1-hour class?
10. Lahat ng klase ng mountain biking cool. Kung tingin mo mas cool ang freeriding kesa XC, hindi ka cool. Kung tingin mo mas cool ang XC kesa freeriding, hindi ka pa din cool. So wag kang mang-discriminate kapag may nakilala kang kakaiba trip na riding kesa sa ‘yo.

While browsing the profile of a friend ronmas, my sadness, frustrations, and loneliness disappeared nang makita ko tong picture na nakapost dun sa gallery niya. Di ko na idi-detalye, basta nakita ko lang.

PLEASE READ WITH FEELINGS..

Pagtawanan ba? I don't know kung trip lang to or sadyang di lang kayo marunong umintindi sa pinagsasabi niya.. At eto ang mga paborito kong mga pamatay linya niya:

"I thought before that Dennis only use me to his toy but sonner and later I'm realize that he really can't not beared or stomached to be with you anymore.."

Di ko alam kung naglalaro ng barbie tong si dennis at balak pa gawing "barbie" mismo ang babae. Ok na sana yung beared kaso pano nagkaroon ng stomached? Baka naman "it's too much?"

Thought you're the most preetiest girls he knows about. What do you think you are "BeautifulGirl" of Jose Marie Chan?

Uu nga naman, sino ba yung pinariringgan ni Mister JMC? What do you think you are? Thinking of me?

".. you do not have the right to called me whatsoever or else difference name one time or the other for the real purposed to insults my personality because I'm never call you names either in the front of Dennis or in the backs of Dennis.."

Natalo yung "I never said that i love you", ni pareng Piolo Sam Milby. 360 degrees kase siya kung tumingin ng tao, harapan at talikuran!

At eto yung pinaka matinding hirit sa lahat....

"P.S. You say that I'm the bad breathe but who is Dennis want to kissed. Me or you? And the final is me. There you go."

Napakahiwaga nitong si "sexiest Girl of D.M." Marunong lumaban at may self-confidence pa! Di bale na yung english, ma-iimprove pa naman. Ganda at sobrang sexy siguro ng chiq na to. WAH! 1996 pa pala tong letter na 'to! Isa na lang siguro ang gusto kong malaman..

Nanay na kaya siya ngayon?
