Akyat: Ba2lao Way back into Batulove

I don’t think I’ve ever missed an opportunity to announce that Mt. Batulao is my favorite climb. And to prove that, I’ve decided to visit it again. This time, I kept track of the itinerary and cost which I neglected to do on my first climb. So let’s dig in!
Padyak: Timberland
Sunday
July 26, 2015
I’ve been contemplating on taking my biking to the next level. And ever since my previous rides with my biking group Godspeed Manila (please like and share), I’ve developed a fondness for road bikes. Now most of my cyclist friends have MTBs (hip term for mountain bikes) but going offroad isn’t much of a priority for me. I prefer hiking up mountains instead of biking up them, thank you.
So after much contemplation, I finally gave in to my wants and spent my hard-earned cash on a roadie! (hip term for roadbikes) This post is to commemorate her maiden voyage up Timberland heights.
Takbo: The 3 Stages of Running on my most Brutal 21km
I recently ran my most stressful and life-sapping half-marathon. I don’t know the exact reason why that run was deadlier than the others, but I have never wished to drop dead so many times in a single run. Kidding aside, I really had to dig deep just to finish. And through that run I was able to see some kind of pattern, a system, if you will, in the feelings I was going through. Let’s dig in.

I love to draw, but I haven’t really been drawing a lot recently. This lazy Sunday, I was organizing my files on my computer because I wasn’t able to go out and jog/bike. Browsing through my old drawings made me reminisce the time and effort I put into them. It really made me want to draw again.
I guess I stopped drawing when I got bitten by the fitness bug and started to focus more on my vector designs because it was easier to create on the go. Drawing required lots of sketches and having to hook up my tablet to the computer which sometimes was a hassle.
But enough excuses, my first love has always been free-hand illustration, and I aim to get back to it. I might have developed a bit of rust, but I’ll return to drawing again. In the meantime, here are some of the old drawings I’ve made, ranging from year 2014 to early 2015. Enjoy!

Akyat: Hike Essentials
I’ve already posted about the Bike Essentials that everyone should check out when they’re about to start biking. Now that I’ve had a few mountains under my belt, I’ve decided to make a little infographic about hiking! Because I’ve only ever done dayhikes, the items listed are those I’ve had some experience with. For overnight hikes, I might make separate post for that once I’ve actually done one. So for now, here’s the EVERY-DAY-HIKE carry list!
Takbo: Affinitea Run 2015

July 5, 2015
I don’t usually blog about individual running events, but certain circumstances led to this particular run giving me a lot of feels. Feels that I think I need to somehow legibly organize in my mind. And to do that, writing them here would be helpful. So here we go, a post about the Affinitea Raise d Roof Run for a Cause 2015.
