    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

running is good for the heart

so, you're a runner. you've heard and might have read the benefits of running,  and what running (or exercise in general) does to you and your body. other than the stated obvious reasons why running is good for the heart,  here are some more reasons on why running is really good for the heart. let's just have the pictures speak for themselves...     (akala ni fifi sha lang ah :) hahaha)                             running is really good for the heart, as can be seen through these images (but running also is not that friendly to your pockets, hahahahaha) for other run-related love entries check on the following blogs too: -   kikayrunner - ronald a.k.a. halimaw so ano, tara, takbo na! ayot? apir!     eto talaga ang dahilan sa break up ni...

virgin no more

people say that it's painful when you do it for the first time. a lot of my friends have done it way ahead before me.  people have been telling since mid-2009 that i should already try to do it.  i've always thought of doing this when i feel I'm ready for it, to commit to it.  I didn't want to do something I would eventually regret. doing this entails responsibility, and commitment, and would be really time-consuming.   let's begin with the end when i started seriously running at last year's Condura Run, I never imagined thinking of ever running a full marathon in the near future. after that condura run, i started training for 10K races, then slowly leveling up to having LSDs and 15K and 10milers, and eventually had my first half marathon at Botak Paatibayan in May 2009. during that race, i witnessed how a not so "well-organized" full marathon that packed up everything way before the "cut-off" when the race didn't even have a cut-o
