The Latest Stories Of
Bike Scene
I was one of those late people when it came to cycling
Buying my first bike back in 2021, a few months after returning to work
The bike to and from the pier for work was awesome
When we logged off, my colleagues and I
We figured out routes so we could hang around longer
I sold that one and got a gravel bike in the middle of 2022
The office was nearer. This time at the IT Park
Which meant, I took the bike to work almost every day.
I remember having an issue with the pedal one time
Walking from the office to the house was my only choice
I joined the office bike club this year.
Our first ride was across the new bridge, I was ecstatic
Last week, we drove up to Busay
We got new shirts, so a ride was justified
There were only 5 of us but what the
Here are some pictures

Abacus Toastmasters
Many, many years ago, like more than a decade ago
I was elected to lead the Toastmasters Club at Aboitiz
Unfortunately, I had to fly to Singapore for work
Which meant that, that role never quite materialized
When I returned to work in 2021
I kind of forgot all about TM
Only to get reacquainted with the it
As soon as I switched jobs and began to work for NCR in 2022
They have their very own Abacus Toastmasters Club
I don’t think I have the time to return just yet
But I was invited to attend the induction of a brand new set
Of Toastmasters Officers just yesterday evening
As always, I brought a camera with me
Congratulations everybody!

Dumaguete City for Three
Last Friday, I decided to take the boys to Dumaguete City
I thought it would be good for us to experience the long bus ride heading there
And the familiar “Cokaliong Shipping Lines Incorporated
Passenger Safety is always committed” boat ride going home.
Years ago, prior to the pandemic, I was in Dumaguete almost every month.
This was my first trip back to the Land of Gasoline Stations in around 5 years
And I could not be happier Kuya & Coxon are coming with me
Surprisingly, the bus ride wasn’t too bad, I thought I did quite well
And since we took the Dumaguete Bus, we alighted by the boulevard 7 hours after.
I didn’t intend on doing anything aside from grabbing sourdough from Little Harvest,
Eating Jo’s Chicken, stopping by Sans Rival perhaps
And letting the boys play with their cousins
We ran out of Tourist Accommodation Tickets going home so we got the regular ones
Which I think was a blessing because I can only imagine
How cold it would have been.
The boys slept a little after midnight while I did a little reading
Kuya wanted to catch the sunrise but the weather didn’t permit it
And after another 7 hour boat ride, we were finally home.
Thank you cousin & Nabi for letting us stay with you and play with the kids.

Charlie’s 7th
Whenever I find myself in an airplane seat I always tell myself
“This is going to be my last plane ride for a little while”
Which is what I told myself back in July
After flying out to Manila for photography assignments
Over 2 consecutive weekends
On the 3rd weekend, I stayed at home
And then Charlie’s Dad messaged me to ask if I could fly out the next
I booked tickets and an Airbnb
The next thing I knew, I was on a plane again.
I’m on a plane, I can’t complain

Badi & Daday
Last year, I shot something pretty close to this
Two wonderful people celebrating years and years
Of being together, of keeping together
At the same chapel, where I got married
I was excited when I was booked for this assignment
Almost certain that the familiar atmosphere
Will bring with it beautiful memories
Despite…
Congratulations Sir Badi & Ma’am Daday
As for myself, I can’t wait to be part
Of many more celebrations like theirs.
