I’ve Got You Covered

“Howy with his Eddie Merckx bike“

I was on my way back from the pharmacy earlier and I was rocking my dad’s old road bike.
It wasn’t the best of bikes, but it was a bike nonetheless. And suddenly a realization of how much I love riding sank in.

I ride not because I’m an environmentalist.
I do care about the planet but I don’t go out riding my bike because I believe taking a car or any other form of petrol-powered vehicle is harmful to the environment.

I ride because I love pushing myself.
I ride because  I love telling myself: “Look buddy, it’s only 30 kms left!”.
I ride because I love the cool breeze when I make my way home late at night.
I ride because I love that sore feeling on my bum and legs after a long ride.
In short, I just love riding.

Enough talking, more riding.

Beautiful smile. Really.
I’ve always been amazed at how such a simple gesture such as smiling can do wonders.
She had no idea what it meant to me to see that smile.

In the midst of sweaty bodies and over-enthusiastic boys trying to be as rowdy as the infamous England football hooligans,
I must admit that to see her smile is a very welcome respite.

So whoever you are, thank you for smiling.

p.s. – I don’t know her. Really. Do you know her?

Yes

Ask me again and it’d still be a “yes”.

48 Hours

It’s a Monday morning. It’s 6:49 AM.
It’s time to rediscover & resurrect some lost emotions.

Wednesday

I have never looked forward to Wednesdays.
I only know that it’s the middle of the week and for the past few weeks, Wednesdays have actually turned into a ride night for some of the CAS boys.

But this Wednesday is different.
I can’t wait for Wednesday to come by.

She told me that she’s into action flicks, so Ninja Assassin, here we come!

p.s. – It’s not the Wednesday or the movie that I’m really looking forward to.

Palang Biru

She needs some band-aid.

Oh, and for those in the know, tonight’s gonna be a good night!

Broom

How I wish I can use a broom and knock the heads of “musicians” who think that the auto-tune is the answer to making great music. It’s painful to listen to local tracks nowadays.

I’m not hating on anyone here. It’s just an honest opinion. If you guys don’t like it, go lick the ceiling.
Come on guys, I know you can do so much better than this!
