Superrstitiion during Holy Week

Do not go out during Holy Week.  Jesus Christ is dead, and the devils and bad spirit roam the street.  JC will not available to save you.  

I did not believe this.  As a matter of fact when I was working in Pharma, our workmates go to Pampanga and Bataan to visit friends.   We saw several expressway accidents and rescued some of the victims.

This was so until I crashed at Shang when having a rendezvous with daughter after a long ride to Baguio during Holy Week.  We rode Thursday up to Pangasinan, Baguio Climb on Good Friday and return to Manila Saturday.   One of our companions died in a traffic accident on Christmas day while returning from a Christmas drinking party.   

This post recalled that when he was 10 years old he accidentally cut himself  very deeply (the bone came out) while fabricating a toy gun.  The bolo used was very sharp, it slipped and cut his right forefinger

Because of the Shang accident, this post did not ride anymore on Holy Week and just stayed at home

Recyclists Bisikleta Iglesia 2015

Fellow kapadyak Vhen Apran invited me to join him in Motorbisita Iglesia - ie we ride in tandem as we relive the Biskileta Iglesia.  I declined as I am still nursing a broken shoulder

Traditionally the Angono Recyclists hold a Bisikleta Iglesia for almost a decade.  The church visit is complete with misallete and prayers especially for Recyclists

We did not have for the last two years because of the pandemic

The churches we visited are:

1.  St Magdalene in Pililla (sometimes the Bugarin or Quisao Church  St. Vicente Alcala

2.  St. Ildefonso in Tanay

3.  St. Joseph in Baras.

4.  St. Jerome in Morong

5.  Holy Rosary in Cardona

6.  Sta Ursula in Binagonan or Sacred Heart in Tayuman

7.  St. Clement in Angono Rizal

True to our religion we join the Christendom in commemorating the Passion of Jesus Christ

UP win vs La Salle and massive route of UST by NU - level of play at UAAP has gone up

Wheels of Happiness

In the absence of any biking activity due to fractured shoulder, this post has no choice but to watch TV the whole day. and nothing is more interesting than the  UAAP basketball game  I watched the close fight in the morning between La Salle and UP.  La Salle.  La Salle lead most of the way but UP came back and edged La Salle.  UP had 2 points spread which it protected in the dying minutes.  You cant but admire the grit and determination of the UP squad which was catching up only earlier in the game.Zav Lucero was UP's hero.  UP had spectacular treys lay ups  and even dunks in the last quarter.   It was surprising for the audience and even to La Salle

It was different in the afternoon in the match between NU and UST.  It was a rout a massacre of UST 82 -51.  NU which gave scare to Ateneo too (unbeaten) methodically widened its lead through lay ups, brilliant play and even a trey.  

It is going to be an exciting season
