Introducing Potpot

One of the best things I can freely do back in my mother's friendly little surfing hometown, Guiuan, Eastern Samar, this passenger pedicab or "potpot" as the local people would call it.  

Locals call the pedicab Potpot because it features a bike horn that makes a cute "Pot! Pot!" sound.

Me: "You reek of sweat. Ew. Change your top.

Friend: "Okay." 

Me: "And please stop being oh so clingy. You act like a freaking toddler." 

Friend: "Okay." 

Me: "Also, your laugh sounds like fart sometimes." 

Friend: "Okay." 

Me: "Only sometimes." 

Friend: "Okay." 

Me: "I'm trying to tell you I love you." 

Friend: "What?" 

Me: "What?"

This Oar

Humming seas do deplore

This aging piece of oar

‘Neath the rocks, kissed by waves,

Comes carriage of graves

Hail, the master of seas

Plunge for the Golden Fleece

With the mermaids steering,

“Go fo'ward!” cries the King

And misfortune, indeed

Clutched to sails, whilst they bleed

Humming seas do deplore

This aging piece of oar

We Are Groot

Sorry, I'm such a crap at updating my blog and when I do, I seem like a shallow Valley Girl, gushing about things. But from now on, I'll try to post random stuff as often as I can. I have graduated from Tumblr so . . .

Anyway, this is a really cool snapshot of the oldest Balete tree in the Philippines. #RootRoot! #WeAreGroot

PS: Please bear with my lame commentaries on every matter. I promise I'll edit everything, write a bit longer, and delve into things properly when I can squeeze in some time.

Vios Cup 2014

Vios Cup 2014. Clark International Speedway.

#JustBecause we're awesome friends, we drove up north to show our dear friend, Rhian, some love.

Obviously, I had a blast spreading madness all over the track. Here goes my nonsensical photoblogging . . .

#PEEmpMyRide. Had to wish Rhiri's car good luck. 

With Rhian and the amazing three-time Vios Cup champ, Jason.

With Nadine. Gahd, I missed this lovely lady.

Rhian Howell and her rad ride. #08 FTW. 

With Rhiri, Lancer, and Mike - one of my favourite human beings.

Drifting. So freaking dope.

#NotHawaiian

Sorry for the randomness, but I just felt the need to discuss this here. I am not from Hawaii, OK? Haha! #CommonMisconception

Nothing against Hawaii, though. I seriously love that place. It's a dreamland!
