A New Breed

Sa mga kasama ko nung weekend, yeah I know you know all about this --- sorry kayo at uulitin ko talaga --- besides the fact na ni-require ako ni Cris to blog about it (sa kanya din galing ang title). We went biking last Saturday morning and truly I was amazed sa nagawa namin...before, when I biked alone, I couldn't get as far bukod sa boring e baka mapalayo masyado, nakakatakot baka di na makabalik hehehe...anyway, we started off from Catamaran in Foster City, went around to go to Beach Park but realized we went the opposite way. But we got there anyway, nakarating kami all the way to Oracle building's back which is in Belmont --- lampas ng 10 miles din na bike namin, oo kahit kumontra si Manny (Ate Anna's cousin) hehehe ...took us about 2 hours, the trail was great kasi may daan na din pabalik without going back the same route...

Sunday, the Biker's Club also known as Tropang Bikers T.B. (ansagwa ata a) for short was officially formed. Yeah medyo "health conscious" ang theme ngayon, I guess I wasn't alone with the sugar, cholesterol and blood pleasure issues. Alvin and Ann brought their bikes from Sacramento, gabi pa lang the night before mag-bike daw ng 7am...pero 4am na gising pa lahat at nag-iinuman...the whole day went walang nangyayari...biglang nagyaya sa Bob, magtingin daw sa Supergo ng bike rack aba biglang nagbangunan lahat...habang nag-ikot kami, Kyo found a bike he liked and decided to just get one than wait for the one he already ordered...ang sososy nga ng mga bike nilang lahat...siguraduhin niyong gagamitin niyo yan ha! Bob got his bike from Kiko who got it from Jun at yung sa kin naman e galing Kmart, (ika nga ni Rex Navarette, where the rich people shop)...siguro kapag ready na kami to go to more difficult trails we'll get better bikes, so far nakakasabay pa naman kami.

We went to bike for about an hour to the Coyote trail near Dumbarton...Eric, Mitch sama kayo next time okay?

Well, I guess better pa rin than being lethargic and sedentary. I'm actually amazed at wala pang actual na sakit na lumalabas kahit sobrang tamad ko mag-exercise for the past 6 years.

I hope this is not just a phase...till the next bike session.

Small world...

Saturday Night...we've been alcohol-free for quite a while, I know the barkada at home will sound surprised...we had friends come over at our new place...we've moved just last Saturday --- which forced us to clean up all the boxes in the living room. Man, I still feel all beat up. I'm sure Bobby will just start laughing at how lame I've been with anything that has to do with lifting or organizing coz he did most of it, hey, but still! We stayed up all Friday night cleaning up till just an hour before folks came over...felt like HGTV (which by the way is one of my favorite network these days, I wonder why) doing something like While you were Out.

My favorite sister-in-law Ate Anna (meron pa bang iba hehehe) and Kamille my niece, an expecting big sister, came earlier. They went with us to Home Depot to return some stuff (which is the only store we go to now by the way --- if they sold grocery there, we'd probably shop there as well). Guess what? Two sets vinyl blinds I measured for the upstairs window...off by more than a foot! How can I be off by more than a foot!? To think I wrote it down twice coz both windows had the same size...oh well, good thing I still have the receipts. Kamille had been complaining this past year as they've been going there all the time for a while when they just got their house last year: "Parati na lang Home Depot, Lowes, Home Depot Lowes. Punta naman tayo sa pambata!"

Ann (Bobby's cousin) and her husband Alvin stayed with us straight from their house in Sacramento, dropped by around 6pm to drop by what Alvin was cooking for Sunday morning --- Curry, wish we had Roti huh? Ann and I are blessed with husbands who can cook really well. Should I say blessed?  I'm sure folks will not be able to recognize me now when they see me, blame it all on Bob! :-)

Eric Tanlapco, Bobby's neighbor from Pasig and his wife Mitch, my batchmate from LB came over. Ayon inuman till 2-3-4-ish in the morning. It was weird when Bobby first saw Eric in Kamille's birthday party. They both looked at each other and pointed at the same time: O!

Of course we were both shocked coz we only knew each other post-college at Maginet. But surprisingly, we knew common friends. It really is a small world.

Bea, their 6-yr old kid was up with Kamille playing some online game on the computer, neopets.com. Very behaved naman at sobrang lambing kay Mitch. The 2 really had fun together. Unlike sa Pinas na paglabas lang ng bahay e may kalaro ka na, kids here are lucky to see kids at parties or play dates set specifically by their parents. Imagine needing an appointment to play? Anyway I guess it worked out well, otherwise either one of them would have been bored.

Hitting 2 birds with one stone, while parents are out drinking, syempre play date na rin for the kids hehehe It was fun to have fun once again. Sus parang nakalimutan ko na ata kung pano gumimik sa katagalan. Hopefully, we'll get to do this more often.
