    Congrats!
    Marami akong question...
    1. Why was the bike assembled?
    2. Was it customized?
    3. Can't you just buy those that were already assembled?
    4. What's the difference of this bike to other bikes?

    So halatang wala lang akong alam sa bikes diba?

    Congrats!
    Marami akong question...
    1. Why was the bike assembled?- BECAUSE WALA AKONG MAKITANG BIKE NA FIT SA TASTE KO :)
    2. Was it customized?- TECHNICALLY HINDI SHA CUSTOMIZED KASI UNG FRAME WAS BOUGHT OFF THE SHELVES, PERO THE PARTS WERE BOUGHT SEPARATELY.
    3. Can't you just buy those that were already assembled?- KASI MAGANDA YUNG FRAME, PANGET UNG GROUPSET. MAGANDANG GROUPSET, PANGET FRAME, SO CHOPCHOP-ING IS THE ANSWER :D
    4. What's the difference of this bike to other bikes?- THIS BIKE IS TIMMY'S :) HEHEHE

    So halatang wala lang akong alam sa bikes diba?- TUMPAK! :)

    Mabilis.
    Eto pa mga tanong:
    1. So alin ang mas mahal? Yung chop-chop or yung assembled na agad?
    2. Kung bibili ako ng bike (na medyo malabo dahil may pwede akong gamitin), ano ang recommend - assembled na or ipa-assemble?
    3. Magaan ba ang frame ng bike na yan?
    4. Pwede ba palitan ang seat ng isang bike? (feel ko kasi palitan ang seat nung bike)
    5. Bakit curved ang handles?

    Ayan ang mga sagot ko sa sagot mo.

    Mabilis.
    Eto pa mga tanong:
    1. So alin ang mas mahal? Yung chop-chop or yung assembled na agad?- USUALLY ANG ASSEMBLED/ CHOPCHOP ANG MAS MAHAL TALAGA KASI SPECIFIC PARTS ANG BINIBILI, MAS MAHAL KAYSA SA BUO NA, KASI WALANG PALITAN NG PARTS DUN :)
    2. Kung bibili ako ng bike (na medyo malabo dahil may pwede akong gamitin), ano ang recommend - assembled na or ipa-assemble?- DEPENDE KUNG YUNG BIKE NA AVAILABLE SAYO EH SWAK SA BIKE FIT MO, AT KUNG ANO ANO PANG BAGAY BAGAY :)
    3. Magaan ba ang frame ng bike na yan?- OPO, PERO ANG IBANG PARTE NYA AY HINDI GAANONG KAGAANAN (PERO OK LANG KASI PARA HINDI AKO TANGGAYIN NG MALAKAS NG HANGIN?)
    4. Pwede ba palitan ang seat ng isang bike?- PWEDENG PWEDE! (feel ko kasi palitan ang seat nung bike)-AKO DIN, PERO PARANG ANG TIGAS KASI NG UPUANG ITO HEHEHE PERO KASI 450 LANG SHA EH KAYA PWEDE NA TIYAGAIN :)
    5. Bakit curved ang handles? -MAS AERODYNAMIC ATA ANG POSITION NG KATAWAN SA GANONG HANDLE (YUN AY HINALA KO LAMANG).

    Ayan ang mga sagot ko sa sagot mo.- TAPOS NA SAGUTIN ANG TANONG MO :)

    Salamat ulit.
    Kailangan munang kunin ang bike sa Pampanga.
    At wag sanang matakot mag-bike sa road.

why do i hate mizuno

Mizuno sucks. BIG TIME. yup. you read that right. why? point #1: they are not a mainstream brand. mainstream in a sense that they don't even ha ve well-known product endorsers unlike other sports brands around the world. i mean, how can they expect their products to sell like pancakes if the y're like that diba? point #2: they do not promote much of themselves. not much print ads if you'd ask me. i work in a magazine publishing company and i don't see mu ch of their products splashed all over our magazines. i don't see them havi ng television ads too. not even in the newspapers does mizuno have anything that will lead people to buy their products. point #3: the products are not that "fashionable." as compared to other "mainstream" brands, you won't see you r regular juans and marias weari ng mizunos together with their jeans to the office. you don't see them usually wearing mizuno s when they go around the malls, walking, shopping, chilli...

can you ENDURE the HEAT?

maraming nag rereklamo sa init ng panahon. makalipas ang ilang buwang pagkalamig-lamig buong araw, ngayon naman ang tindi na ng init, lalo na sa tanghaling tapat. at dahil dyan, kailangang magpalamig! yung ibang mananakbo, tulad ng ilang Ultramarathoners, sinubukan na ang kasiyahan ng pagsali sa triathlon. PERO sabi nila, lamang pa rin ang ULTRAS kumpara sa TRI.  yung iba naman, gustuhin mang mag TRI eh nag iipon pa rin para sa bike. eh paano naman ung gusto lang mag multisport? san sila sasali?  bakit naman sila sasali dito?  this event was conceived primarily to serve as simulation for those joining the Ateneo Aquathlon slated on March 20, 2011. in line with the team's partnership with Microwarehouse, the official distributor of Blackberries in the Philippines, the team decided to make it open to the public as a way of sharing to the public the joys of multisport. Here is the write up from the organizers (which i am also a team member :) )  ENDURE is a buddin...

SURVIVOR International Marathon: Smart SIM 2009 (part 1)

i'm sure a lot of runner-bloggers already expressed their opinions towards the recently concluded Smart SIM 42K SURVIVAL Run held this weekend. this is just to summarize things from MY point of view, and MY OPINIONS. This was supposedly the "most prestigious" marathon in the Philippines (well so they say). if being prestigious means: 1. No water stations for most of the stretch of the SCTEX 2. No support stations allowed along the long stretch of the SCTEX 3. No light along the way 4. runners' safety along the long dark stretch of the SCTEX was unsure (even though the road was closed from motorists, the sheer darkness of the place can put an injured, dehydrated runner lost in the darkness) kahit na they say bring your own lights, ibang level pa rin ito. then i guess this is it. i think it could be likened to training for the BDM, pero sa BDM alam ko may ilaw, at may posibilidad to buy drinks/ hydration along the way. i've had a lot of friends from takbo.ph who had...
