Training

So, as some of you know, I got bicycles for myself and Cris – and I’ve been teaching her how to ride. The goal is to be able to get Cris’ riding up to a level where she and I (and other friends) can join the Tour of the Fireflies next month.

We started yesterday at the AHS field where she was able to ride in a few hours. 1 Of course, mostly just keeping herself from falling. But still, she’s learning from an MTB which is much more difficult for a beginner’s bike At rate she’s going; she’ll definitely make it.

Oh, nakapikit pa! Joke lang 😉

Today was another day of riding for her; trying to ride straight and turn. But it was also my first day on riding with the cycling shoes I got. So both of us were in “student/training” mode a while ago. Read More

Open Parties

There was a post about an incident during an open party which sparked so much attention. Read about it here. And read the organizer’s side here

While it is true that a bunch of things have to be addressed with regards to the party(ies) nowadays, I can’t help but feel a tad frustrated as to how both ends of the spectrum are seeing this. To me, both sides have raised legitimate points (yes, even the whole “that’s society today” argument, to me, is valid), but I think they all went a bit overboard as to the sense of entitlement they think they deserve.

So let me try to tackle this complex issue as best I can. Read More

Been a busy weeked for the group

Here are some gallery sets from a wedding in Santuario de San Jose. Which was a riot, since the wedding right after our underground group was another underground contingent of the older [non-active] members. Nagka-bukuhan! hahahaha!

Then there’s another memorable one at Santurario de San Antonio; where we started putting our “shy” members into “solo mode.” 1 Actually baka si Vino lang… si Gino naman gusto niya talaga; you’re not fooling anyone with your “modest” approach dude. But I still love you. I always believed that “forcing” [preferably unwilling] people to step up to the plate and sing is always good for individual confidence (and overall group morale) – what better testing grounds than weddings gigs right?

And how could we forget the unofficial “Grand Alumni Homecoming” mini-concert before the mass during the 7th Simbanggabi at Gesu. A whole bunch of members residing/stationed in different parts of the world came home for the holidays… and we ended up doing an impromptu repertoire to utilize the rare “concert-force” attendance.

Congrats Ateneo

People know (or my friends at least) that I’m not really big into the whole UAAP thing (my sister is though). They also know that while my sister and I studied in Ateneo, we root for La Salle.

Having said that, I should be feeling sad… but I’m not.

I can honestly say that this season, Ateneo deserves the championship – unequivocally. They’ve been the best and consistently performing team throughout the season, bar none (nag-sweep ba sila; as in walang talo the whole season? it seems that way eh).

As much as it pains me to say it, the whole “mayabang ang Atenista kasi meron ipagyayabang,” which is one of the main reasons I don’t share the school’s “spirit;” I will let slide this time. Be proud of what you’ve accomplished. Your team definitely earned and deserved it. Just don’t overdo it folks!
