Maligayang kaarawan sa ating Mahal na Panginoon, Jesus Cristo.  I did not join the long ride. I went to mass at 8:00 am, stayed at home.  Did the posting.  Our Lord's Birthday happens only once a year.  So why not spend it with him?

What did you do today?

Merry Christmas to one and all

Having fun with Ben this morning, December 20 2013

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal Philippines | December 20 2013

                                    Ben, the two of us rode this morning to Wawa

I met Pres Luis and Ben at the park this morning.  Pres Luis said it was his first time to visit the park and he discussed the Luisiana ride on Christmas day.  I declined to join so he did too because it the birthday of the Lord. I said I crashed on a Christmas day ride.  So nadala na ako.

Then I saw Ben as I was leaving to get camera.  I had a chance to take his picture.  We talked about his cure from prostate and my advice.  So he calls me by my aka:  Sir Dok (leng)  I am happy that he got well from my advice on prostate.

Unique Luisiana Church Patio

Bike for Health


These are pictures of very interesting church courtyard (patio) of Luisiana Catholic church where we ate. It is point of interest for church goers and students at the nearby school alike.

Here are the pictures:

We ate at the Luisiana church patio for our lunch last October 30, 2011.  We had packed lunch.  It was comfortable place to eat.  It was complete with a garden, fountain, images of the saints, and animal statues for the enjoyment of the kids.  Of course, there is a CR and a dining table.
