There are conflicting advices: one side says take it easy; the others say take it hard. Do hill climbs, do HIIT, do something harder than before. I believe in the latter that is why lately I do short rides but do hill climbs.
So yesterday, I did hard hill climbs to Ynares blvd, quarry road and DOMSA. (Thats on top of push ups, lunges and weight exercises.)
Some 80 million were spent by DPWH in improving the drainage and road network at Carebi and Kalayaan. Less problem with flooding.
However some challenges are facing the residents:
1. MDiaz is now being used as pass through thorugh by vehicles going to Edenville, Baytown since this is a shorter distance to the reroute;
2. Tricycles find it convenient if coming from Kalayaan to do a short cut via 2nd street since there are no humpbs at our street.
It poses danger though to us residents since this a residential subdivision Some forget that tricycles (or even big bikes) roar by and they could be hit and/or run over. We advised vehicle owners to park their vehicles inside their lot to avoid being bumped or scratched
It was the birthday of the youngest daughter and she invited us, me and the clan (15 in all) to a dinner at Barbaras at Gen Luna St, in front of Plaza Luis (the courtyard of St. Agustine Church for a dinner celebration.
It was buffet and pricey because there was a cultural show. There were many foreigners, mostly AFAMs in attendance. The venue was superb - an old Spanish type house with crystal chandelier. The food was 90% Filipino: paella, sinigang, papaitan, stewed vegetables with Bagoong, Filipino dessert. And there was a cultural show: tinikling, sayaw sa baso. An audience participation was asked. Our apo did the tinikling. The dancers received generous tips from spectators.
We should have plenty of occasions or venues where Filipino culture can be showcased to tourists like restos and tourist spots. (Perhaps there are plenty but I have not been active in these spots)
It is a rare sight and experience for me. For decades I have not seen a local cultural show. I=
