Many bloggers vloggers influencers make staggering amount of money pitching their posts. But this post cant expect to be rich because it was the goal to enrich myself doing this. I was simply doing this for fun and as a sort of log of life events.
Many get rich by creating contents like: green jokes, slapstick comedies, showing wide expanse of flesh and many ladies show boobs and or peek into the origin of men. Others delve on hot political issues of the day and they risk being bashed.
I am sensitive to comments and cant live with bashers
Many small resorts for staycation mushroomed during the pandemic. For the project we developed that is overlooking the Laguna Lake (it is a good fengshui) this post did not realize that there were that many resorts in that residential subudivion (As many as twenty)
The owner of Villa Sophia contacted me via the former institutionn I used to work with for a decade. He needed additional parking space for his resort. He wanted buy the 400 sm beside his property. He was willing to pay an exorbitant price for that. At the same time this post did not want to lose that nice property. The reason why his resort clicked is that it had such a prime location/vantage point
So why not just allow him to use the lot for a nominal fee. The owner is an MD at a big and prestigious Medical Center in Pasig and is a gastroenterelogist
This post just charged him the Real Property Tax + % for the 400 sm or merely P10.00 sm. It was a sweet deal for him
Yesterday, climbed two hills: Sikatan in Mahabang Parang and Antenna Hills. What was surprising was despite that it was hot, the efforts seemed light.
For Sikatan, going up to Pitallo at 34 -36t was continuous and there was no stopping. This was on a road bike. This post invites other riders to visit Sikatan and patronize this establishment There were no customers when I biked there
For Antenna Hills, the plan was to go up only up to intersection of Aristorenas, then at the Church, then at the water tank and eventually ended up at the Antenna. Many think that the road bike is inappropiate for hill climbs but this post did this well on a road bike.
This post feels very much accomplished for this climb
Since Sunday, the number of road rage seem to have been on epidemic proportion: one lately at Masinag near Decathlon, the other a involving a baseball bat incident. Thus be careful kapadyak hold yout termpers in check and be paciencio.
Some lessons in the Boso boso incident:
1. Keep tempers in check;
2. Be humble; bikes should defer to motorcycle, motorcycle should bow to 4 wheels;
3. Do not exage. The allege victims were not sideswiped nor giniliran based on their own video;
4. If the offenders have fled do not pursue nor challenge them anymore. After all the alleged offender may not have meant no harm;
5. Your vehicle (car, mc, road bike, mtb) and your ego are not the same. If na bangga or scratched paciencia, you can touch the bike or your MV< MC up
6. Always presume that the MV owners are armed and dangers. Thats a caveat in US where everybody has the right to bear arms. Do not presume that the other party does not have arms that are lethal. They may be hidden in fanny sling bag, or even bike bag. Reduce your bravery or braggadocio.
7. Dispose off firearms. I did that decades ago. Guns do not allow you to think and your impulse may get the better of you. Guns have the devil with it and can cause you to take actions that you may regret later on and change the course of your life 180 degrees. So be careful
This post rode to Pasig MM and managed 17Km one way for total of 34 km. Was to see ftf somebody at The Grove This was a great practice in riding amongst MC, riding in fumes and heavy traffic. Traffic was heavy and you are always near danger - MC overtaking from your right; near collision with vehicles head on or from behind.
Its odd to see traffic at Highway 2000 being managed according to the whim of traffic enforcer. They turned off the traffic light and waiting can be as long as 5 minutes. And you inhale all the fumes
At this hour, the bike lanes are occupied by parked vehicles. They still have not acquired parking areas for their new cars!
You experience3 one great advantage ie being able to overtake at least 60 vehicles in bike lane. Some MV still respect bike lanes but in Pasig, vehicles: public and private hog the bike lanes. There are great practice for riding uphills going up Rizal Provincial Hospital and the flyovers. Great hill climbs.
Rode up to DOMSA on a Road Bike ((Sworks with Wheeltop gs) this morning. This was much better ride than before. It felt easier (maybe because thisi post shifted to the biggest cog early and rode less intensely) and because I am having more practice.
I met Ruben, Nolite and cousin Rommel Unidad (he was on Colnago with Campy groupset) and several other familiar faces
As usual, the males made Maritess of people who were not here, and talked about ladies with diabetes.
