Meet My New Shawbike

Although I didn't have a bike when I was younger, I was able to learn how to ride one. If I remember correctly, I learned from my Grandfather's bike. It was an old-fashioned one. It had a side-car attached to it but we remove it when we wanted to learn how to balance. Luckily I was able to learn through that bike, though not without some cuts and bruises!

Japanese Surplus Bike

After 29 years, I finally own a bike of my own so I can pedal around to my heart's content! The one I bought is a Japanese style bike. I actually bought it two weeks ago when I saw it in Ligao City. I fell in love with its basket the first time I laid eyes on it! It reminded of bikes used on Korean novelas :).

Reminded me of Korean Novelas

I knew then I just got to have it so next day I bought it with the help of my brother and sister-in-law. My sis-in-law alternately pedaled from Tuburan, Ligao City up to Muladbucad. My legs were really challenged by the task! It was tiring but fun at the same time! By the way I named it Shawbike.

Here are some pictures of my bike and our time biking! Enjoy!

One Invigorating Sunday

I know it's been a while since I updated this blog. I've been really busy. I went home home last weekend, well, I actually spent the whole week there since it was going to be a very long weekend for me anyway due to Eid El Fitr. Anyway, it was a good time for me because at least I was able to exercise...one thing that I haven't done in a long time.

Together with Mandy and some of the folks from church, we went to Kawa-Kawa in Ligao City. We woke up at 4.30am so that we can be there in time for the mass aerobics. The short climb to the peak left me out of breath, which shows just how out of shape I am;). Anyway, when we got to the peak, the aerobics exercise was already starting. There were lots of people participating - children, teens, adults of both sexes. We immediately joined in! Although I couldn't follow some of the steps, it was still so much fun and was able to sweat out some of my fats! Well, i hope so.

I'm so looking forwards to another hike up there! And also to the aerobics exercise. It's really much more motivating if you see other people exercising with you.
