04April2019 Morning Chillax Ride: Intramuros x CCP x MOA Mixing work and play, doing official business after some dose of morning sun, seaside breeze and a morning sprint. My meeting starts at 10am, but I don't want to slave on starting my day to Manila's traffic rush. Instead I woke up extra early to catch some seaside morning sun! 🚲❤🚲💙⛵💚🌞💛🌤🧡🌊💜⛪ #tiklopadventures #ushiyuri #DahonVitesseD7 #boomie #BromptonTitanium #ManilaBiking #WhenInManila #IntramurosCCPMOA #AstralBikePards #RookiexLegendbikedate (at CCP Harbor Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4ArC9h8I_PYDIkDZv6xb1m6NS5XG1izL4NXM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qt1852ytqwpp

20Jan2019 Bike to Meeting Taking advantage of the Amihan monsoon chill, Pacman fight and being carless while Mooey is being confined for her body repairs. Today's bike weather was perfect, partly sunny, mostly cloudy with the carless roads of Metro Manila because of the pacman fight. Good thing, I was able to park Yuri inside Seattle's Best while we're having a meeting. The advantage of riding a folding bike, is the option to fold and roll it inside bike friendly establishments. ❤🚲💙🚲💚🚲💛🚲💜 #ushiyuri #DahonVitesseD7 #tiklopadventures #biketomeeting #TiklopSocietyofthePhilippines (at Seattle's Best Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs2wu1vBLQ-VT8olFedI8L21Na0zA7FbnEVA8A0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eupbgu82ofrq

Balikloob TSP LSD with Jared 😀 At first I was hesitant if I could do PAW and climb the Marcos-Katipunan hill incline. I paced myself, and huffed and puffed my way up. My legs can feel every rolling hill. April was my last decent ride, and tonight was the first time I went back to the saddle to challenge myself since I got hospitalized last May. What better way to do a comeback ride, by riding to my beloved U.P.❤ Tonight, I was reminded why I love biking. Moreso, doing night ride under the Amihan night sky. Jared and I meet up at the U.P. Carillion Tower, then stayed a while at the amphitheater. By 8:30pm we ride out to Teacher's course, any TSP night ride is actually more of a bike-to-eat program. We had Takoyaki appetizers along Maginhawa. Followed by a hearty dinner at SGD Coffee. ❤💜💛💙💚 #balikloob #ushiyuri #DahonVitesseD7 #DahonPH #UPbiking #TSPLSD #LinguhangSikadsaDiliman #TiklopSocietyofthe Philippines (at UP Diliman) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqxV9w9hJeb2dQIpXU731AKTWM0aXICluveCz00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j9o9r0wqp9g7

Morning Ride: Happy 37th at the Festival of Learning 19April2018 Spent my day doing what I love: morning bike ride to Norzagaray. Heard the morning mass at St. Peter Basilica, to give thanks for my 37 years of existence and to ask for guidance as I continue on with my life's journey. I added meaning to my day by sharing my time with the kids at the Norzagaray NHA resettlement housing, hosted by ATD Fourth World. I donated copies of the book: "Hale hale Hoy!" a compilation of Filipino riddles, songs and games, with illustrations by members of my org, Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang InK!). The books are for their Street Library in Pandacan and North Cemetery. I also had one copy for the community kids to share. Part of the activities during the Festival of Learning are storytelling and some craft projects. I assisted during the crafts activity, and witnessed how simple tasks like this bring simple pleasure to the kids. While learning some skills like following direction and expressing their creativity. It's my first time to take part in ATD Fourth World's initiative. Hopefully I can also do volunteer work here in Pandacan and the North Cemetery. ❤🚲💙🚲💚🚲💛🚲💜 #HAPPY37TH #ATDFourthWorld #FestivalofLearning #ushiyuri #DahonVitesseD7 #tiklopadventures #solobaliw #BulacanBiking (at Barangay Bitungol, Norzagaray Bulacan)

Maundy Thursday's Bisikleta Iglesia 2018, Old Manila It's my first time to do a solo Bisikleta Iglesia, and part of the challenge and adventure is exploring the century old churches of Old Manila with my folding bike Ushi Yuri. I had a pleasure of visiting 14 of the beautiful churches of Manila, each boasting with rich history and religious art. Eight of which, I visited for the first time. Exploring Manila on two wheels gave me the liberty to weave through traffic with ease. Doing it with a folding bike allowed me to bring it inside the church with me and not worry about bike parking. It was a solemn solo baliw ride, braving the unexpected of what Old Manila has instored for me. Passing through the various streets from posh Intramuros to the grunge of Tondo, there was only one theme as people from all walks of life observe and celebrate the Holy Week. It gave me a glimpse of what it's like to be a Catholic, and how this religion embraces all. Taking whatever is thrown to its face, braving through the imperfections of humanity and just be accepting regardless of what's taboo or not. I've had a glimpse of the many faces of the Filipino Catholic, best experienced in Old Manila. #ushiyuri #DahonVitesseD7 #tiklopadventures #solobaliw #BisikletaIglesia2018 #OldManila #ChurchesofManila #CenturyOldChurchesofManila (at Archdiocesan Shrine of Nuestra Señora De Guia)

TSP TiGAs71 at the U.P. Carillon Tower Always great to meet up with my fellow folding bike riders. Bonus post GA, a side trip to Parang to meet up with another bike mechani, who finally fix up that loud crickety sound coming out of Yuri's headset and stem. 💗🚲💘🚲💝🚲💖🚲❤ #ushiyuri #DahonVitesseD7 #tiklopadventures #TiklopSocietyofthePhilippines #TSPTiGAs71 (at University Theater, UP Diliman)
