Did a Taktak DOMSA ride yesterday...

Wheels of Happiness

Went up Tikling and to Antipolo Cathedral yesterday, then went home via Domsa.   Did not stop anymore at Fibertex or Beverly Hills.  Tuloy2 although before the ride I dreaded the ups.   At MLQuezon, going to All Homes and the Transfiguration Church was the challenge.

Sweated well.   Nice ride...

Former neighbor, "kadaro" classmate, friend of wifey passed away yesterday

Wheels of Happiness

A former neighbor in Poblacion, a kadaro  (being a neighbor) elementary school classmate, and lately bff of wifey passed away yesterday, after battling the big C.    She got it according to experts for inhaling fumes for preparing soil for planting.  She was popular for dragon fruit growing, vinegar and wine.  Leading the way for preserving and finding out various uses for excess produce rather than wasting them away

She fostered organic farming although it was more expensive.  Her farm had constant DA visitors, and we understand she was a constant awardee.  

Her farm is some 55 km away from our town, in the last town of the province

Thank you for company the wonderful years we spent together.   Vaya can dios

We will surely miss her company and a confrontation with reality that our batch is being harvested.   At 75 you are ripe for harvest...

Higher fuel surcharge will prevent me from travelling to Mindanao?

Wheels of Happiness

CAB has allowed level 17 in November  fuel surcharges due to higher fuel costs.  This is one of the highest.  As of now air fares seem unaffordable.  I could not go to Visayas prior to November 1.  

I planned to visit a proposed future site in Mindanao.  Now I am not sure whether the plane fare is still affordable.
