The Good Looking, Safe Ride

When I was in college there was only one guy I always with. He's my best friend Louie. We go way back; and if you ask him about who I am he'll probably tell you a lot than I normally would. He knows what I do behind the camera; and so do I with him. We met through a common friend almost hitting each other but we ended up getting along really well. We finish each others' sentences now and even stay late till the wee hours of the morning. He even taught me how to ride a motorcycle and I enjoyed it I was planning to buy a big one since I adore the ones I saw in MI2, have you watched that movie which Tom Cruise starred in?! Did you see the great bikes and motorcycle helmets shown there? How I wish I could have one of those!

My friend had to work because he just started a family. On his way to work a white plate motor bike cut him off the road and got him flying through the air. Unfortunately he didn't wear any protective gear and it almost got him bed ridden less you know what. He could have been better dressed in real deal motorcycle clothing and got tougher gear; and that was a big lesson he learned a little too late. I stayed with him in the hospital for a few months until he was able to attend physical therapy sessions. It was hard on him, his family and me. Today he spends doubly hard getting a job and keeping it. All that because he wasn't suited up for biking!

It pays to be prepared and safe. Life is indeed very fragile. I never thought it would happen to someone very close to me let alone my best friend. We need all the things that can protect us from harm's way. If it's going to cost me more than black leather pants then I'm all for it. It's that plus the fact that I look good in leather jackets too. I heard the on line store called leather up has jackets, helmets and boots on their catalog. We might as well take a look at the armored jackets, SHOEI helmets (which I personally prefer) and great flame designed boots that they have because we can get it at half the price! Isn't that sweet! We get to protect ourselves and get the best deal too. I better tell some of my friends about it. We need to be better equipped these days so we won't be sorry when accidents happen.


Do you have your own motorcycle story to tell?! Let me know!

Happy Birthday Jepoy!

After a busy weekend, I never stopped going out until Sunday afternoon. I know I still have a lot of things to do at home but I needed something to get my mind off of what happened. To make the long story short I met up with bloggers. Indeed, you have seen that they are a great bunch of people; talking to them was really nice and intellectual. Bloggers are smart. I went home pretty late for stuff I had to do at home and the funeral but it was well worth it. I got to see new faces; and it was really nice... plus we got to celebrate Jepoy's birthday! (Be nice don't forget to greet him! Heheh)

So without further ado, here are some of the photos I took of our get together. It's just group photos but you get to see who went there plus Anna who came in after a few hours. Sorry didn't take too much photos, you can probably see more of these on Jepoy's and Xprosaic's blog. Xprosaic actually was the one who organized this so THANKS! and nice meeting yah John Lloyd hyukhyuk! XD

P.S. Because Jepoy is MOYOMOON he got us lunch at HOLY COW! Thank you for that birthday boy! =) Happy Birthday again Jepoy! =)

You Think You're Cooler Than Me?!

I want to believe in love but it doesn't seem to always work. Why do I often ask myself if I want to love again when I don't even care anymore if I end up with someone or not? I'm a walking psychological nightmare; what have I turned myself into?! Is this all I'm going to be? Am I going to just linger in an entirely abysmal future of failed relationships?! Sheesh... I don't like this feeling... I am so down right now I could knock at hell next door. Hello melon collie... how have you been these past few years?!

I need to be hopeful in more ways than one. I'm pretty difficult to understand in times like these. There were times I was so desperately in love with a friend. That didn't end quite nicely too. I think I never moved on from that either. If I meet her again I probably would feel awkward and lose that sanity... if there is still some left. Haaaay... the last time I felt like this was ages ago. I can't say "I told you so!" to "myself" for obvious reasons. I almost forgot what it felt to be human. I hate it... I hate it...

Love shouldn't be this complicated. I know se* isn't but look at what's happening now. You think I should revert back to my emo rocker days?! Nah.. I didn't look too cute that time (but I'm trying hard to stay not cute LOL). I miss what I had. I thought it was forever but I guess sometimes their forever is so short. What's up with women these days, can't they just listen and understand me first before demanding anything?! Do they think they can just get another man cooler than me?! I doubt it!

You think you're cooler than me?! =)

If You Were In My Rubber Shoes

I am trying my best to go to the gym every day. I have work on weekdays but once I go out of the office I can go there because it is literally just beside it. I am also trying to do fun runs on weekends at Fort but I haven't prepared for anything like that. Initially I just did it for maintaining a healthy lifestyle but these days it probably is a necessity to shock myself with different workout regimens as advised by my physical trainer. I don't hold back on the food intake since I am stressed but I need to try running now to compensate for it. I already have the basic gear and one thing that I think I should replace is my running shoes. I've got a lot of shoes but I never invested on these ones for athletic activities. I need to buy a decent pair soon because my old one looks worn out.

I am currently trying to replicate everything on treadmill and it seems that I can do 5 or 10 kilometers on an easy day. I wouldn't be gunning for a marathon since that would take time to prepare but this particular distance seems achievable. I would probably have an easier run if I do it on real pavement but right now I'd settle for the air conditioned confines of the gym. If I win one of those running events I'll let you know. As for now my quest for another pair of shoes is on. I already have 30+ (for different occasions) but I wouldn't mind another one!
