NOS Father's Day Ride to Kwebang Lampas

The Sands of Kwebang Lampas

150th Birthday of Dr. Jose Rizal celebrated June 19, 2011, Father's Day and NOS's RIDE Day while heavy rains devoured Manila.

Majority of the participants with this Ride to Kwebang Lampas, Pagbilao, Quezon was last accounted to 10 riders. Due to the rain and zero visibility, four remained and took off from Manila 0600, armed with rain gears, and trailed old highway alongside SLEX to head to Calamba City to join up with The Shaman (saisake mcp). 0730 the fantastic four arrives and becomes the furious five and continued on the journey. With minimal rain and dark to clear skies onwards, NOS cruised the road until they reached San Pablo City and stopped for a quick break (45 minutes to 1 hour.lol).

The journey just started, read on after the break.

Troll's Sunday Ride with The Like Riders Pilipinas

The Troll (saisake - Nouvo Owner's Society from MCP boards) rides with TLC (The Like Club Pilipinas) last Sunday. A quick ride to Real, Quezon for a little road adventure, Twisties and a lot of cornering.

Responsible Riding, Traveling, and Comraderie are the three basic things you will have if you travel in packs. Inclusive with a bayanihan meal of seafoods served in a long table on banana leaves.

A group of riders left Calamba at 6:30  am, and a few more joined us from Los banos, and Sta Cruz until we reached Famy/Siniloan Area where we meet up with the Manila Pack who traversed Rizal and Marilaque Area. Together we joined force to travel Real-Siniloan Road.

More Photos after the cut.

Mother's Day Date with the Troll's Wife

Happy Mother's Day

For all mothers out there, The Shaman greets you Happy Mother's Day.

My wife and I hanged out at SM Calamba City and watched Fast Five. Action-packed and oozing with pure awesomeness. For those of you who haven't seen it, watch it you will surely enjoy every minute of it. [Spoiler Alert] After the Movie flashes the cast and credits, stay in your seat, there will be a short Movie that will leave you hanging.

Ninei had her hair done at the salon for a little trimming. Then we head out to be surprised that there is now a Mernels cakes at the ground floor. Now if you are not from around Calamba City and Los Banos Area, but have visited our hot-spring resorts in Pansol and aware of our Buko Pies. You need to try out Mernel's Cakes & Pastries.

The shaman's trip to the beach

Sorry Yuki you can't

The shaman's recent visit to puerto galera for a little R & R.

Off-peak season is a nice time to visit, have a few people around, and everything is cheaper compared to peak seasons.

The Shaman visits 8corners

bebe fajardo's facebook

A rainy Friday night yesterday, the shaman and ninei headed out to visit 8corners, Paciano Branch, Calamba City. Just a few minutes away from our dwelling cave. This is a restobar that has live bands performing on the roof deck. We just occupied the ground floor, for a little drinks and grubs.

We were entertained by the owners, Bebe Fajardo and Tita Beth our good friends. We talked about stuffs like technology, facebook games and all while we lounged.

We had a good laugh with facebook game, especially cartown and others. Then we started the night with a pitcher of mixed drinks and some tasty grub dishes.

Food is superb, service is excellent. I only have my camera phone with me at the time, with no flash but somehow have a good shot with night mode.
