Welcome to Philippine outdoors and
beyond! This blog serves as my online journal for
Philippine outdoors adventure such as mountainbiking,
mountaineering, snorkelling, paintballing, local and international
travel, and anything about outdoors.
06 February 2010.It has been awhile that we do a cross-country ride,
since most of us are more inclined with downhill mountainbiking. Anyway, this ride was planned by Toto of Intense
Bikeshop hitting the Malipay trail near Portofino Village-Alabang with a lot of new faces.
Meetup was set at around 6AM at Intense Bikeshop. But, since I knew Toto to be always late at meetups, I intentionally came in
late at around 630AM. haha!!!

25 October 2009. Well, this is my wife's baptism of rocks and muds at
Mt. Makiling-Mudspring trail. A day before, we have to decide
between Nuvali track in Sta. Rosa or Mt. Makiling in Los Banos for
our trail ride destination for the day. And, I opted for Makiling
(where I can do downhilling) which she agreed. (read more )
10 October 2009. I'm
supposedly unable to attend our 2nd paintball session with
Teradyne guys. But, due to insistence of my colleague, I
squeezed it in my schedule. After my solo mountainbike ride at
Mt. Makiling, I went straight to Splash Island at Southwoods,
Carmona, Cavite where our 2nd paintball session is held. (read more)

2009. It's been a
month that I'm out of the saddle due to typhoons onset every
weekends. Weekend is my only time to bike and I was quite unlucky
that every weekend, there's an onset of typhoon. However, I still
consider myself lucky considering how typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng,
brought havoc to the islands. While those 2 typhoons devastated most
part of Luzon province, my family and I are safe from home. I opted
to stay home as I feel won't totally enjoy riding in the rain,
just like my September 5th ride .
Thus, after hearing the news that typhoon Pepeng went out of
Philippine territory, and brought no more rain starting yesterday,
Friday, I decided to pack-up my gears and be ready for a short and
quick saturday ride. I have to do it quick because I
have another paintball session with my colleague at Teradyne , on the
same day.(read
