Musings of a human trapped in the Philippines
#BoysWhoGalaw is for all my fitness endeavors. From hiking, running, biking and everything in between, this is where I celebrate the art of movement.

I opened up the year with some bike riding during the weekends. For January 3 and 10, I went to two different parts of Bulacan, which is roughly very far from my place. And while both of the places we went to were in the same province, the rides for each were very different!
I’ve been biking for more than month already so I know I have enough experience and authority to post this. Here’s an infographic about the basic gear you need to bring with you whenever you go on a bike ride. I’m also gonna give a quick description on each item.

The trail ran along the bank of the Marikina river and, since there was news of Typhoon Hagupit about to hit the metro, I decided to ride before the rains and winds come.
Here’s a quick update about what’s going on in my life. I bought a bike!
So, it’s been a while since I last posted something… I got to thinking about things that would be nice to blog about. Since I’m at work and I have some idle time, I’m going to continue on a fitness streak and post something gym-related. This is going to be a kind of continuation of my previous blog post, and will be about the things I learned while in the gym.
So, recently, I’ve been into fitness. And by that, I mean I’ve been hitting the gym religiously for almost a year. It has become one of my priorities at this point in my life. I started consistently attending from November 2013 until now. To be honest, I didn’t expect to be this attracted to working out because I am naturally a lazy person. But seeing results motivated me to sticking to it and now I can’t stop. This post is going to be about how I inadvertently found my passion in the gym. Continue reading “Galaw: My Fitness Story”
