HAVE BIKE, WILL TRAVEL

I was told by a claustrophobic psychic that I was a marathon cyclist in a past life. Needless to say, I too was equipped with all those muscles and endurance angst to win my race. Today, I just want to finish it as a complete person. In photo is a Colnago I have had since 1988. quite a collector's piece, don't you think?

 

BRILLIANCE NOT MINE

This is an Orlina. And no, I envy not its brilliance, but only its ability to remain that way. The coming seasons bring about so much change, and the things we used to give a hoot about no longer matter that much. I used to like my hair shiny, so I put a little oil to make it that way. To look brilliant, remember? Today, with my hair thinned out, I only want it to be combed. Yes, we shall overcomb!

 MY HEART

I was told by our cardiologist in Singapore that I have no blockage in my heart, an accomplishment for a man like me who has had his share of of foods high in fat and oh so fried stuff. Nevertheless, this is my heart from a CT Scan.

 KUYA NORMAN

When he passed away last August, I knew deep down that his ashes would stay longer in the US before they finally arrive in PH. He was 75, but my memories with him and of him are ageless. I am still hoping that kinder hearts would prevail and would finally put an end to this issue once and for all. 

Please let him come back home.

FAN DAY

Glad to have one fan behind me. In this world where outside appearances weigh more than what really is in a person's heart, plus the fact that it is a popularity contest for each celebrity, it's always better to be discreet while living a simple life. 
 

VIGAN PASSPORT

One of the notable legacy projects of Vigan City Mayor Jose 'Bonito' Singson Jr. is the Ciudad de Vigan Pasaporte de Turista which will be launched in a few months. This tourism gem aims to promote the Heritage City up North. In doing so, every individual who visits Vigan will have the opportunity to have a Vigan Passport and will earn points each time he or she visits. These points will be the passport (pun unintended) for visitors to avail of discounts and freebies from establishments doing business in Vigan. They come in three colors (blue, red, green), but are not in any way color coded for priority. The passports will be a vital component in boosting the local tourism industry in Vigan City.

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

Have you ever seen such beauty and perfection in God's heavenly creation? A snapshot I took of these cotton ball-like clouds over Vigan City. Perhaps, a portent of good things to come.
