The election was held last April 24, 2011. Well, it has been a lot of hard works and excitement for me serving the organization as President for two consecutive years. We had a lot of fun and all of our rides brought us more closer with each other. The most exciting ride was the tour to Boracay in Panay Island. It is one experience of a lifetime. To the new set of officers, my unending support shall be with you. I am also hoping that aside from doing my job as a &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt;Registered Real Estate Broker in Cagayan de Oro City,

Before 12:00 PM, we're already back to  Sagay.&amp;nbsp;We&amp;nbsp;had some fun&amp;nbsp;and we sang and danced&amp;nbsp;along with the group and our new  found&amp;nbsp;friends in the island. We&amp;nbsp;all slept before midnight&amp;nbsp;and woke up early to  travelled back to&amp;nbsp;Cagayan de&amp;nbsp;Oro City. We boarded again the same barge at 5:30  AM on Sunday morning and reached&amp;nbsp;Balingoan port at&amp;nbsp;7:00.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76mk3XzBWI/AAAAAAAAAU8/-DLtk3893g0/s1600/100_9872.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76mk3XzBWI/AAAAAAAAAU8/-DLtk3893g0/s320/100_9872.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We had some snacks&amp;nbsp;and  rested for awhile&amp;nbsp;at one of our members'&amp;nbsp;place. After another hour we're back on  our motorcycles homeward bound to Cagayan de Oro City. The next thing&amp;nbsp;I knew,  before 12:00 PM, we're home&amp;nbsp;and still with the excitement that we experienced  during the entire ride.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-2730112360148481480?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/2730112360148481480/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-day-tour-camiguin-island.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/2730112360148481480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/2730112360148481480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-day-tour-camiguin-island.html' title='Three Day Tour - Camiguin Island'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76ibWLQssI/AAAAAAAAAUc/gjsXNREgv1I/s72-c/100_9917.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-710150886666947015</id><published>2010-04-09T11:23:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-09T11:37:14.962+08:00</updated><title type='text'>7 Days of Motorcycle Touring Adventure</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76bE2_HNEI/AAAAAAAAAUE/HI1jm6cvJhY/s1600/100_9708.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76bE2_HNEI/AAAAAAAAAUE/HI1jm6cvJhY/s320/100_9708.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span id="goog_938539527"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_938539528"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;My motorcycle riding&amp;nbsp;group, the &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;Team YBR CDO,   Inc.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was among the very lucky organizations chosen by Yamaha  Motor  Philippines, Inc.&amp;nbsp;to participate in an all expenses paid  motorcycle touring  adventure from February 24, 2010 to March 2, 2010,  dubbed as "The 3rd Yamaha  Touring Adventure, Boracay Leg in the  Visayas". Five delegates from our group  were chosen. Me as president of  our club, our vice-president, the assistant  treasurer in behalf of our  treasurer who is not available, and two board members  in place of the  other two officers, the secretary and the auditor,&amp;nbsp;who backed  out&amp;nbsp;from  the tour&amp;nbsp;earlier. The destination...the Boracay Island in&amp;nbsp;Caticlan,   Panay in the Visayas Region of the Philippine Archipelago.&amp;nbsp;We boarded  the ship,  St.&amp;nbsp;Peter of the Apostles together with our Yamaha YBR 125 g  motorcycles&amp;nbsp;before  midnight&amp;nbsp; of February 24, but the ship started its  voyage at 7:00&amp;nbsp;A.M. of the  following day, February&amp;nbsp;25,&amp;nbsp;from Cagayan de  Oro City, Northern Mindanao to  Iloilo City in the Visayas Region for 15  long hours.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76VM9Hd-tI/AAAAAAAAATs/3ID2as9HMgg/s1600/100_9514.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76VM9Hd-tI/AAAAAAAAATs/3ID2as9HMgg/s320/100_9514.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; After 5 hours of&amp;nbsp;our  voyage, we passed by Dakak,&amp;nbsp;a well known tourist beach in Dipolog City, where  some of the passsenger disembarked. At 4:30&amp;nbsp; in the afternoon, our&amp;nbsp;voyage  continue for another 10 long hours until we reached the Port of San Pedro in  Iloilo City at exactly 2:30 in the morning, February 26, Friday. After  disembarking and paying the necessary fees in the Iloilo Port, we then proceeded  to the heart of Iloilo City on board our motorcycles to Sarabia Manor Hotel and  Convention Center where we are already booked courtesy of our sponsor, the  Yamaha Motor Phils., Inc. We were the first delegates who arrived, followed by  the 5 delegates from Manila. Then 14 other riders from Bacolod City arrrived  with a lady rider among them.&amp;nbsp;The rest came from the towns of Antique, Caticlan  and of course&amp;nbsp;Iloilo City. We are 47&amp;nbsp;riders all in all with paramedics and an  ambulance, emergency pick-up and two SUV back up vehicles.&amp;nbsp;We spent one night in  Sarabia Hotel and the following day the 260 kms ride to Carticlan begun. It was  a five hour tour with two stop-overs in two different towns of Antique.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76cTHFLJKI/AAAAAAAAAUM/GU0LaNeRBnw/s1600/100_9623.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76cTHFLJKI/AAAAAAAAAUM/GU0LaNeRBnw/s320/100_9623.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;One  rider from Bacolod overshoot a curve and ended up in a ditch.&amp;nbsp; While his  motorcyle is no longer usable, he was fortunate to sustained minor injuries  only. His motorcycle was boarded on the emergency pick-up he was made to back  ride on his co-rider. When we reached the town of Caticlan, we waited for thirty  minutes and then boarded our motorcycles in a barge that perried us all to  Boracay Island.&amp;nbsp;It&amp;nbsp;only took us&amp;nbsp;thirty minutes to reach this wonderful&amp;nbsp;Island,  it's a paradise! Fun and excitements filled the air&amp;nbsp;with the different  activities that we had.&amp;nbsp;We also toured the island until we reached&amp;nbsp;it's highest  peak on board our motorcycles. We went for a swim during the night before the  fellowship night.&amp;nbsp;We managed to hiked for more than one hour on&amp;nbsp;the following  morning to give our lungs the chance for a pure and unpolluted air along the  longest beach I have ever seen in my entire life. And&amp;nbsp;after our lunch and a  short rest we again hit&amp;nbsp;the road for another 260 kms ride going back to Iloilo  City.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76db-JgjcI/AAAAAAAAAUU/y5ZBZEffqcc/s1600/100_9498.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76db-JgjcI/AAAAAAAAAUU/y5ZBZEffqcc/s320/100_9498.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another rider from Manila lost control on a curve, sustained&amp;nbsp;minor  injuries and still managed to&amp;nbsp;ride his motorcycle again&amp;nbsp;after uninstalling the  damaged accessories.&amp;nbsp;We arrived in Iloilo city around 8:00 in the evening. The  following day both motorcylces that crushed during the tour were immediately  fixed by Yamaha mechanics and all damaged parts and accessories&amp;nbsp;were  replaced&amp;nbsp;with brand&amp;nbsp;new ones.&amp;nbsp;While the other riders already left bound for  their respective destinations, we&amp;nbsp;stayed in&amp;nbsp;Sarabia Hotel for another day, go  out during the night and visited some night&amp;nbsp;spots, and enjoy the hospitality of  the people of iloilo city.&amp;nbsp;We finally boarded again&amp;nbsp;on the same ship, the St.  Peter of the Apostles&amp;nbsp;homeward bound to Cagayan de Oro City ay 10:00 P.M. on  March 2, Tuesday&amp;nbsp;for another 15&amp;nbsp;hours long voyage. We arrived in Cagayan de Oro  City the following day. It was a very exciting and unforgetable moment that I'm  sure will linger on my mind for&amp;nbsp;long, long time.&amp;nbsp;And I said to myself...I shall&amp;nbsp;  return to Boracay Island..one day soon.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-710150886666947015?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/710150886666947015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2010/04/7-days-of-motorcycle-touring-adventure.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/710150886666947015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/710150886666947015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2010/04/7-days-of-motorcycle-touring-adventure.html' title='7 Days of Motorcycle Touring Adventure'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S76bE2_HNEI/AAAAAAAAAUE/HI1jm6cvJhY/s72-c/100_9708.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-4583202541028195993</id><published>2009-12-30T11:56:00.014+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-09T13:21:07.092+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Community Service &amp; Tour to Gingoog City</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Szq8rlhz83I/AAAAAAAAASM/TUIIQ42tTDM/s1600-h/Me+and+my+YBR125g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Szq8rlhz83I/AAAAAAAAASM/TUIIQ42tTDM/s320/Me+and+my+YBR125g.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hey guys!&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;It's been awhile I haven't post anything here. I have been very busy with all my duties and tasks as president of my club, the Team YBR CDO, Inc., as well as my responsibilities to my beloved family, not to mention my &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;real estate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; job. But, anyway&amp;nbsp; I'm here to summarize the rest of my riding activities since the last post I have here, our trip to Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan City.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;First, Team YBR CDO Inc. donated various relief clothing to the fire victims of St. John, Brgy.

A copy of the Resolution No. 085-07-2009 was given to the group expressing the deep gratitude by the local government officials to Team YBR CDO, Inc.'s effort to participate in such activities specially intended for the welfare of&amp;nbsp; the people in need like the more than 100 households that became victims of the fire that erupted last July 22, 2009.

It is approximately 122 kilometers east of &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Cagayan de Oro City&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It was a fine Sunday morning, September 20, 2009 to be exact. Fourteen regular members joined the tour making the first stop-over at Villanueva to have some breakfast at a carinderia (small restaurant) that serves hot meat soup, sinangag (fried rice) and other native foods.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The group then proceeded on its tour, and after a total of 84 kilometers run, it had its next stop-over at the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SzrHpyByrKI/AAAAAAAAASk/J5AT0f-H-L4/s1600-h/100_7712.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SzrHpyByrKI/AAAAAAAAASk/J5AT0f-H-L4/s320/100_7712.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Balingoan Port for some picture takings for souvenirs. The great backdrop you can view is the Camiguin Island that lies off the northern coast of Mindanao. The group altogether had its merienda (snacks) at one of its regular member's residence. In less than 30 minutes, the group were back on its route towards Gingoog City. The group reached Gingoog City and have some&amp;nbsp; fun and picture taking in Arturo S. Lugod Sports and Cultural Center and at the Gingoog Port area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SzrINZdpB3I/AAAAAAAAASs/rM3gBFLsxYM/s1600-h/100_7745.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SzrINZdpB3I/AAAAAAAAASs/rM3gBFLsxYM/s320/100_7745.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After some rest, the team rode back for Balingoan where we took our lunch at our Vice- President's house. We then proceeded to Baleng ni Juan where we continue having fun until night time. We left Balingoan heading homeward Cagayan de Oro City at 7:00 P.M. and after a kilometer and a half run, heavy rains started to fall. We took refuge at the nearest waiting shed along the highway. 30 minutes passed but the rain seemed to be not stopping anymore. We decided to push through with our ride and once again braved the heavy rainfalls that soaked us all and made us chilling while we travel the eastern coastal road of &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Misamis Oriental&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. We arrived in &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Cagayan de Oro City&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; more or less at 9:00 P.M. all wet and chilling like little children but filled with joy and happiness in our heart. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-4583202541028195993?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/4583202541028195993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/12/tour-to-gingoog-city.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/4583202541028195993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/4583202541028195993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/12/tour-to-gingoog-city.html' title='Community Service &amp; Tour to Gingoog City'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Szq8rlhz83I/AAAAAAAAASM/TUIIQ42tTDM/s72-c/Me+and+my+YBR125g.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-8455381154335471334</id><published>2009-07-31T19:01:00.025+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T21:57:40.748+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tour to Maria Cristina Falls and Timoga Resorts</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL-htO07lI/AAAAAAAAAN0/7Vp1YiJHZqY/s1600-h/100_6505.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364629961182604882" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL-htO07lI/AAAAAAAAAN0/7Vp1YiJHZqY/s320/100_6505.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It happened to be one rainy Sunday morning. July 26, 2009, our scheduled tour to Maria Cristina Falls and Timoga Resorts in Iligan City. The weather was so cold and the roads seemed not ready to entertain any traveller. While my mind was set to brave the rains and enjoy whatever pleasure riding wet and wild could offer, I was also worried that others were not used to ride while raining like I do. As I sip my hot cup of chocolate, I was eagerly waiting for something to sound off. I was waiting for a sign, asking myself if this one's  going to push through. Then my cell phone gave the 5:00 o'clock wake up alarm. I was awake earlier than usual and had &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL2YZGA2mI/AAAAAAAAAMs/6sVUfdYQMdY/s1600-h/100_6511.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364621005065083490" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL2YZGA2mI/AAAAAAAAAMs/6sVUfdYQMdY/s320/100_6511.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;already taken a very cold morning bath. Heavy rainfall from 4:20  to 4:45 A.M. had just lessen a bit, and I knew the sun will not just get up the way it used to be, not this time. The next sound that I heard was the message alert tone from one of our rider member from &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/rawlands.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. "It was raining hard here awhile ago, are we gonna push through with the tour?". It was what I read written on my cell's LCD screen. "Can you ride now and ready to get wet this time?," I replied. The next message I read was, "I will be at the assembly line in 20 minutes". Yesssss, that's the sign I was waiting for. I picked up my bag and re-checked the things I readied th&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL1ZAn5wII/AAAAAAAAAMk/_pWagbDUoIw/s1600-h/100_6508.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364619916164579458" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL1ZAn5wII/AAAAAAAAAMk/_pWagbDUoIw/s320/100_6508.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;e night before. I just added some rain gears and a T-shirt. Before I can get down from my &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;house&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to the garage, one rider texted, "Sir, there is no rain in Iligan City", the other message said, "We are now here at the assembly line,  where are you?. "Oh my," I said, "I'm not the only motorcycle addict here." I hurried up, warmed up my bike and there I went riding carefully on the wet highway to get at the assembly line as fast as I can get, with the rain still pouring moderately. From four riders that I found already waiting for the others with great enthusiasms, one by one the rest of the members arrived. There was this YBR rider (not yet a member) who's just  passing &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL3E80FTHI/AAAAAAAAAM0/Z8wj4KcxRDc/s1600-h/100_6560.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364621770567797874" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL3E80FTHI/AAAAAAAAAM0/Z8wj4KcxRDc/s320/100_6560.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;by and stopped with curiosity and then asked,  "What are you doing here guys, where are you going". Upon learning of our scheduled  tour to Maria Cristina Falls, he quipped, "Can I join you?." I asked him how far is his &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;house&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and how many minutes we have to wait for him to get some things for the tour. When he replied that in fifteen minutes he will be up  and going, I immediately said, "Ok, then go, welcome to our company!." 17 riders, 3 wives and two friends, that made us 22 heads in all. We were late by 30 minutes on our planned departure time. After some safety briefing and a prayer, all 17 of our YBR motorcycles started to roar, in great sounds &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL3kwBnNfI/AAAAAAAAAM8/BbHMwA1Vcbs/s1600-h/100_6541.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364622316890699250" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL3kwBnNfI/AAAAAAAAAM8/BbHMwA1Vcbs/s320/100_6541.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;like thunders, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead of us as we toured the highway westward Misamis Oriental, to the City of Majestic Waterfalls, which is Iligan City.&lt;/div&gt;The rains had already stopped and only  small particles of water that came from almost all directions touched our bodies while we drive in moderate speed while we traversed the city proper and leaving &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/commercial.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cagayan de Oro&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,  just for awhile. We gassed up at Jetti Gas Station in Bulua  where bystanders started to multiply while being amazed by our rides. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL6WsGCQKI/AAAAAAAAANE/jGcIdhc-S9I/s1600-h/100_6572.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364625373852221602" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL6WsGCQKI/AAAAAAAAANE/jGcIdhc-S9I/s320/100_6572.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;At the next town we were joined by another rider with his girlfriend on&amp;nbsp; the back of his ride. Then the 24 of us continued the tour on the beautiful highway of the Cagayan de Oro and Iligan Corridors. What a nice place we have here in the northernmost part of the Islands of &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/featuredproperties.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Mindanao&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. All riders who can taste the breeze, the unpolluted air of our island, not to mention the beautiful roads, especially the challenging sharp curves, the beautiful coastal scenery...I bet, they will be coming back for more rides like this one that we had.&lt;br /&gt;We had our stop-over at the coastal road of Iligan, just before we entered the city proper where we started some picture taking, for remembrance purposes, you know. We also had to stop for awhile at the Caltex Star Mart to take &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL7E58aEFI/AAAAAAAAANM/O0xiA3TW6Xk/s1600-h/100_6576.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364626167843917906" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL7E58aEFI/AAAAAAAAANM/O0xiA3TW6Xk/s320/100_6576.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;a little snack and to buy some bottled water. We continued our tour, passed the city proper and directly went to Maria Cristina Falls. It is a waterfall of the Agus River on the island of &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mindanao&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. It is sometimes called the "twin falls" as  the flow is separated by a rock at the brink of the waterfall. It is a landmark of  Iligan City, nicknamed the  City of Majestic Waterfalls, because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls  in the city. Well-known for its natural beauty and grandeur, the 320-feet98 meters/320 feet  high waterfall is also the primary  source of electric power for the city's industries, being harnessed by the Agus  VI Hydroelectric Plant.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL7s2efcMI/AAAAAAAAANU/ntKwlTiM01M/s1600-h/100_6605.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364626854107902146" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL7s2efcMI/AAAAAAAAANU/ntKwlTiM01M/s320/100_6605.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After some time of feeling the beauty of nature within this twin waterfalls and listening to the sounds of heavy water pouring hard to big stones and down the stream, we felt relaxed, our minds,  bodies and souls were filled with enjoyment and serenity that nobody among us just can explain. We then proceeded to Timoga Resorts for our lunch and continued fun and enjoyment embraced us all. Some gone to the pool and other preferred bonding with each other over a long neck of Tanduay and few bottles of Red Horse. There, we had conceptualized to help the fire victims of Brgy Tabaco in Puntod, Cagayan de Oro City. There were more than a hundred &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;houses&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; burned and families left homeless. We agreed to donate used clothing and dry goods on Sunday, August 2, 2009. At 3:30 P.M. heavy rain started to pour over the makeshift hut that we are staying. That made us decide to delay our departure time until the rain completely stop, hoping that it will. One hour passed, but it seemed the rains just want to hold us hostage in Iligan City. By the concensus of everybody, including the 4 lady backriders, no heavy rains can stop us now in going &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;home&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. We started our rides for &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;home&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; at exactly 5:30 P.M. Our rides, the Yamaha YBR 125 G never give up on us. After 30 minutes of driving, the water started to penetrate my jacket. The rains drowned my entire body in complete coldness and with the long unlighted highway due to the brown out in some municipalities we passed, this rides, our own rides, the YBR's...you'll never think of getting &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;home&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; too soon, even if it is raining hard and all you see is a piece of the road ahead of you...you'll love the way its engine adopts itself in different conditions and temperatures. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL90CxpPLI/AAAAAAAAANs/I2yZH6VwEM4/s1600-h/100_6630.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364629176691801266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL90CxpPLI/AAAAAAAAANs/I2yZH6VwEM4/s320/100_6630.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;With a few more squeezes of the throttle, we arrived in  &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/index.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Cagayan de Oro City&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; at about 7:45 P.M. safe and sound, all wet, wild and filled with happiness and with a hope of another ride like this...with or without the rains....To all the members of Team YBR CDO, Inc..."Daghang Salamat Kaninyong Tanan"...It means..Thank you very much to all of you...of course, "Glory be to our Lord, Who is always our Co-Pilot".....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;View all pictures of the tour at &lt;a class="domain" href="http://teamybr.multiply.com/photos/album/10/Tour_to_Ma._Cristina_Falls_and_Timoga_" target="_blank"&gt;Team YBR CDO, Inc.'s Site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-8455381154335471334?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/8455381154335471334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/07/tour-to-maria-cristina-falls-and-timoga.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/8455381154335471334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/8455381154335471334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/07/tour-to-maria-cristina-falls-and-timoga.html' title='Tour to Maria Cristina Falls and Timoga Resorts'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SnL-htO07lI/AAAAAAAAAN0/7Vp1YiJHZqY/s72-c/100_6505.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-5368377705634943089</id><published>2009-07-23T14:35:00.017+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-09T13:19:46.797+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ybro Orlando Tagolimot&apos;s Birthday'/><title type='text'>Ybro Orlando Tagolimot's Birthday</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgO2Sbnw0I/AAAAAAAAALs/7xWXNWRhfUo/s1600-h/100_6387.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361551682207990594" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgO2Sbnw0I/AAAAAAAAALs/7xWXNWRhfUo/s320/100_6387.JPG" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It was July 19, 2009, a bright and sunny day and good for a short riding adventure. But it was not all about riding, though we assembled again as a team and had prepared all our rides to the best of their forms and conditions, all of us had two things in our minds... it's Ybro Lando Tagolimot's birthday and of course a short 23 kms ride &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgQiUHu00I/AAAAAAAAAL0/v86OzYqKAHo/s1600-h/100_6385.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361553538087310146" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgQiUHu00I/AAAAAAAAAL0/v86OzYqKAHo/s320/100_6385.JPG" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;on board our YBRs. What a great simple lives we have. We traveled about 28 minutes before we got to Ybro Lando's &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;house&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. There were seven of us originating from Cagayan de Oro City. One rider joined us along the way at Agusan Highway, the other one in Puerto and another two from the Villanueva. Eleven of us, YBR riders graced our Board Member's birthday celebration. It was a day full of fun, native dish like lechon, &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgRHQhd98I/AAAAAAAAAL8/mae9QsPNFVY/s1600-h/100_6399.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361554172776675266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgRHQhd98I/AAAAAAAAAL8/mae9QsPNFVY/s320/100_6399.JPG" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;drinks and videoke courtesy of Ybro Lando. All board members were present, so after partaking our meals, a short board meeting was held under a big tree (I just can't remember what type of tree it was). We talked about the plan for the upcoming tour to Maria Cristina Falls and Timoga on Sunday, July 26, 2009. All 20 &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgSZQZ8kHI/AAAAAAAAAME/5rA4yELYlQQ/s1600-h/100_6435.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361555581494399090" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgSZQZ8kHI/AAAAAAAAAME/5rA4yELYlQQ/s320/100_6435.JPG" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;active members of the club are confirmed to join the tour plus the 4 other applicants who are still to be introduced to the general asssembly and finally accepted to the club on the same day of the tour. We also hope to have with us some non-members who had signified their interest to join the tour as well as the organization. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgS96CGgsI/AAAAAAAAAMM/3dtkrh_Pgpg/s1600-h/100_6455.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361556211143967426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgS96CGgsI/AAAAAAAAAMM/3dtkrh_Pgpg/s320/100_6455.JPG" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After the said short meeting, we went back inside the &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;house&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of Ybro Lando then songs and laughter fills every corner of our Ybrother's &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;home&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. By the way, YBRother is what we call each of us in the club, Ybro for short. At exactly 5:00 P.M., all were geared up to travel back to our &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;home&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; city, Cagayan de Oro. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgTWf4lxVI/AAAAAAAAAMU/mkYxUFBBuAE/s1600-h/100_6478.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361556633621480786" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgTWf4lxVI/AAAAAAAAAMU/mkYxUFBBuAE/s320/100_6478.JPG" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-5368377705634943089?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/5368377705634943089/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/07/it-was-july-19-2009-bright-and-sunny.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/5368377705634943089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/5368377705634943089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/07/it-was-july-19-2009-bright-and-sunny.html' title='Ybro Orlando Tagolimot&apos;s Birthday'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SmgO2Sbnw0I/AAAAAAAAALs/7xWXNWRhfUo/s72-c/100_6387.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-4129947463587801826</id><published>2009-06-02T11:22:00.040+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T21:38:49.433+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yamaha YBR 125 g'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yamaha YBR 125 g Tour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini tour'/><title type='text'>TEAM YBR CDO Mini Tour</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxN53zlBFI/AAAAAAAAAKk/Mqtk99Ua2E4/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+063.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358243313292215378" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxN53zlBFI/AAAAAAAAAKk/Mqtk99Ua2E4/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+063.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Friday, May 29, 2009, another lovely day for TEAM YBR CDO, woke up 4:30 in the morning, sent some reminder texts to all members and immediately took the early morning bath. The water was so cold that made me shiver down my spine, but all were set for this touring adventure, no matter how cold the water was. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SjXvDrbgYLI/AAAAAAAAAEw/n_QoUcLiIpM/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+076.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347442979049070770" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SjXvDrbgYLI/AAAAAAAAAEw/n_QoUcLiIpM/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+076.jpg" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Yes, we've all waited for that day and it had come. After a cup of hot chocolate and while filling up my empty stomach, text messages started to come in. Seemed like everyone were all set to go. Except for one rider from Iligan City whom we've expected to arrive late because his place is 89 kms west of &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Cagayan de Oro &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxZbEK0DeI/AAAAAAAAALc/a6sjuElqwfU/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+117.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358255978174483938" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxZbEK0DeI/AAAAAAAAALc/a6sjuElqwfU/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+117.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;City&lt;/b&gt; while our route was eastbound of Misamnis Oriental, Balingoan to be exact, a well known stop-over for travellers and tourists going to Camiguin Island. We were assured that this rider will be with us along the way around 50 kms away from our destination. Four of us met at the Yamaha Showroom in Gusa, &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CDO City&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and we started our tour at exactly 6:30 in the morning. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxOiXbGevI/AAAAAAAAAKs/rNteKY5eOLA/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+002.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358244008974252786" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxOiXbGevI/AAAAAAAAAKs/rNteKY5eOLA/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+002.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We were joined by another rider at Agusan Highway and before we reached Puerto, the rider from Iligan City was already with us. How did he do it? I wondered. He must had left Iligan City at 5:30 A.M. and twisted full throttle most of the time. He is a rider anyway. When we reached Villanueva which is 23 kms away &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SjX7xerXYkI/AAAAAAAAAFg/OyUpvBkv_Fc/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+016.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347456960039445058" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SjX7xerXYkI/AAAAAAAAAFg/OyUpvBkv_Fc/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+016.jpg" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;from &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;CDO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; CIty, two more riders joined our group. The eight of us then continued our tour to Balingoan where two of our members who shall host our group are already waiting. We arrived in Balingoan at around 9:30 in the morning and after a moment of rest, food and drinks were served. We then proceeded to Baleng ni &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Sie1Dcqj7mI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/qNmqkgFWgxQ/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+050.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343438553737326178" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Sie1Dcqj7mI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/qNmqkgFWgxQ/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+050.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Juan, a restaurant and resort owned by one of our members. We had a short meeting and discussed some important matters concerning our group. Our meeting was held in the most beautiful place there is, with the Camiguin Island as backdrop. After the meeting, &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxPRcMVuOI/AAAAAAAAAK0/gHGOmvQ8kE8/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+075.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358244817708366050" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxPRcMVuOI/AAAAAAAAAK0/gHGOmvQ8kE8/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+075.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;we went to the &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;house&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of our member where our lunch was served. After a short but healthy discussion, we extended our tour to Talisayan and shortly stayed at Villa Arcadia Beach and Resort. That place is one very good hide away, the best place to relax away from the busy city life. Oh yes, we need to be back at that place one day and must be soon. We went back to Balingoan, and to our &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SjXucqyKpDI/AAAAAAAAAEo/GCsFWnZJMeA/s1600-h/YBR+Mini+Tour+137.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347442308860781618" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SjXucqyKpDI/AAAAAAAAAEo/GCsFWnZJMeA/s320/YBR+Mini+Tour+137.jpg" style="float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;surprise, another rider had just arrived. More fun and discussions followed, and at exactly 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon, everybody started warming up our machines, ready to ride homeward &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cagayan de Oro&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; City. One stop-over in Villanueva, a few moments of bonding, a bottle of coke and again everyone were set to hop on our rides. We arrived safe and sound at exactly 6:00 o'clock in the evening. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e1771e;

For almost three years, we toured the entire Misamis Oriental and the rest of the northern part of Mindanao Island in the Philippines. They were indeed great moments one rider can not just forget easily. Although I don't have regrets letting my KMX go, those pieces of memories that keep playing inside my mind just won't make me give up. A rider is a rider, and I will always be one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class=domain target=_blank href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph"&gt;Real Estate in Cagayan de Oro City Philippines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-3396011965735521743?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/3396011965735521743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/05/kmx-125-kawasaki.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/3396011965735521743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/3396011965735521743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/05/kmx-125-kawasaki.html' title='KMX 125 Kawasaki'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Sf2YmjgXjgI/AAAAAAAAADQ/S0oUFnYkHWA/s72-c/KMX+Blog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-1958234808188615149</id><published>2009-04-29T16:59:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T21:33:45.735+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kawasaki KMX 125'/><title type='text'>Kawasaki KMX 125</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Sfj1TgX8J_I/AAAAAAAAAC4/eSK8IclXxpI/s1600-h/Just+posing+with+my+KMX+125.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330279874449647602" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Sfj1TgX8J_I/AAAAAAAAAC4/eSK8IclXxpI/s320/Just+posing+with+my+KMX+125.jpg" style="float: left; height: 223px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is me in 2003 with my Kawasaki KMX 125.&lt;br /&gt;It is a water-cooled off road motorcycle which I found to be also very good for street riding. It runs so fast like a turbo-charged machine and can endure very long distance travel. We have been together for less than three years travelling along the streets of the beautiful city of &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Cagayan de Oro&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and its nearby towns and municipalities especially along the coastal road of Misamis Oriental, the northern part of Mindanao, &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Philippines&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. I've loved this bike, all its features, except for being a two-stroked engine bike which is very good for off road competition. But I do not compete, I only love to ride. So one day, I had to let it go with a plan to replace it with a four-stroked engine motorcycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/foreclosedproperties.html" target="_blank"&gt;Bank foreclosed properties for sale in Cagayan de Oro City&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-1958234808188615149?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/1958234808188615149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/04/kawasaki-kmx-125.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/1958234808188615149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/1958234808188615149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/04/kawasaki-kmx-125.html' title='Kawasaki KMX 125'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/Sfj1TgX8J_I/AAAAAAAAAC4/eSK8IclXxpI/s72-c/Just+posing+with+my+KMX+125.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-3483267450846942318</id><published>2009-04-29T16:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T08:37:58.997+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kawasaki Z400'/><title type='text'>Kawasaki Z400</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 203px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330031993835796354" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SfgT29IMt4I/AAAAAAAAACY/6JZ_y88BC6k/s320/Kz400.jpg" /&gt;This is an image of a Kawasaki Z400 motorcycle. My first motorcycle is exactly like this bike, however, its color was green. I bought it from a friend in 1984 after I resigned from my job as a cost accounting staff of Nippondenso, Phils. I rode it for almost three years in the busy streets of the cities of Makati and Manila not to mention some of my trips in the provinces of Luzon, until I finally sold it in 1987. I don't have any documented story about my Z400 except for all the memories of the joys and happiness it had brought into my life.

Some print media riders from Luzon also joined the tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We, YBR riders Cagayan de Oro Team assembled at the Star Mart, Caltex Gas Station in Gusa, CDO City where we started our tour on board our own Yamaha YBR 125g motorbikes. One rider from Surigao City and four from Butuan City joined us in our starting point. That made our group a total of 14 riders. We left CDO city at 7:00 A.M. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxUudYy4GI/AAAAAAAAALE/NDSFs7aV7-c/s1600-h/100_4912.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358250813803389026" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxUudYy4GI/AAAAAAAAALE/NDSFs7aV7-c/s320/100_4912.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;We passed by the famous Mangima Road connecting Alae and Malaybalay Bukidnon. It is a Baguio-type winding road that made Bukidnon an attraction to travelers from Northern Mindanao to the provinces of Bukidnon and all alon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;g to Davao and General Santos City, the southern part of the island. After more or less an hour &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;of riding, we made a stop in a safe part of the highway to unload some excess water and replaced it with about 8 ounce of cold mineral water. We resume our journey after 5 minutes while the breeze added more coldness to the mineral water inside our bodies. Before we arrived in the City of Malaybalay, I started to shiver and the next thing I knew was, I'm already in pace with the fast tempo of our travel that I may say was an instinct to heat up our bodies to kill the coldness of the air that touched our skin. When we enter the City of Malaybalay, we slowly reduced our speed and while we are passing through the main street, all eyes were on us, or shall I say, on our bikes that bear the beauty of a ride that one rider may ever dream of. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxWeLDDmgI/AAAAAAAAALM/M9ve5NnREiY/s1600-h/100_4724.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358252733025720834" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxWeLDDmgI/AAAAAAAAALM/M9ve5NnREiY/s320/100_4724.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;We made our next stop-over in Valencia City and took some snacks at Jollibee. We were joined there by 9 other YBR riders from the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia. We then proceeded on our tour. All 23 of us travelled the long highway that extends from Valencia City to Buda, in Davao City. We arrived at Davao Seagull Moun&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;tain Resort at 1:00 P.M. There, all YBR motorcycles from Gen. Santos City and Sultan Kudarat were already parked and look very awesome. The YBR riders of Davao City arrived after a little while. We had our lunch together then continuous activities followed. We had a trail biking competition which was won by a rider from Gen. Santos City. During the night, there was singing activities, signing of tarpaulins and fellowship. In the following morning, all were set to go back &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;home&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to our respective regions. We left Buda, Davao City at 8:30 A.M. and travelled back to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; Cagayan de Oro&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt; City taking two stop-overs in Valencia City and Malaybalay City. We arrived in Cagayan de Oro City at exactly 11:00 A.M. all Sound and safe. "Glory be to the LORD".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxXlOazFzI/AAAAAAAAALU/J5pdwv9KUoc/s1600-h/100_4728.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358253953701320498" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxXlOazFzI/AAAAAAAAALU/J5pdwv9KUoc/s320/100_4728.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;The most challenging part of our ride were the constant leanings from one side to the other as we traversed the long and winding road of Buda. It was a very exciting experience. Our rides, the YBR's, they are great rides. They can withstand those closed curves like big bikes. You can depend on its stability, its endurance and most of all, it's economical. Imagine, 5 liters of gasoline for a 435 kms distance run. You've got to have one for yourself to believe it and experience "YBR" (Yamaha Brilliant Riding).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/featuredproperties.html" target="_blank"&gt;High end residential and commercial properties for sale in Cagayan de Oro City&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-f6255d5be300efe7" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df6255d5be300efe7%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1333127200%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D7E2B0AB9FBFD4E71E1557FFCD8E6EC4B22B76BB0.7322C45BE8C7BEA9212477DA7327DAA0B3EED93E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df6255d5be300efe7%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dlk3SjBv09xw1LvlJ3Bw4Ya94Fvo&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df6255d5be300efe7%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1333127200%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D7E2B0AB9FBFD4E71E1557FFCD8E6EC4B22B76BB0.7322C45BE8C7BEA9212477DA7327DAA0B3EED93E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df6255d5be300efe7%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dlk3SjBv09xw1LvlJ3Bw4Ya94Fvo&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-3211210487464386986?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=f6255d5be300efe7&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/3211210487464386986/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/04/yamaha-ybr-1st-touring-adventure.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/3211210487464386986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/3211210487464386986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/04/yamaha-ybr-1st-touring-adventure.html' title='Yamaha YBR 1st Touring Adventure'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SlxTDEqQndI/AAAAAAAAAK8/mzwNKYnNJVg/s72-c/100_4901.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840704849856316324.post-709778635652946391</id><published>2009-04-11T15:00:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T08:36:54.946+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yamaha YBR 125 g'/><title type='text'>This is my new ride, a Yamaha YBR 125g</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SeBAH_r1AzI/AAAAAAAAABA/Ip-6lDVcE9U/s1600-h/YBR+125g.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

Owning motorcycle had always been too difficult for me. My first bike was a Kawasaki Z400 which I bought from a friend in 1984. It is a big type of a bike that offers both comfort and safety riding during low and high velocity. I sold it in 1987. I promised myself to buy another one, but I have to let go of this goal for awhile due to financial reason. When I arrived here in &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;Cagayan de Oro City&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/a&gt;in 1996, I started to dream of riding motorcycle again. I had a very hard time looking for another bike to buy, until I had a Kawasaki KMX 125. It is an off road bike that is also good for street riding. It has power valves that give additional speed like a turbo charger. I also had to dispose this bike after three years, because I wanted to go back to a four-stroke engine motorcycle. I again left being a rider for quite sometime. A month ago, I found myself looking fascinated at every beautiful bike that I see on the streets. I started to missed being a rider again. I look around &lt;b&gt;&lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;CDO City&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in an effort to find another bike to own. Until I found this Yamaha YBR 125 g which was recently introduced here in &lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Mindanao&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. After carefully inspecting one unit, I decided to buy my own YBR. Now, I finally realized that &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;riding is a lifestyle...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="domain" href="http://www.cagayandeororealestate.ph/residential.html" target="_blank"&gt;House and lot for sale in Cagayan de Oro City&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8840704849856316324-8039895470186958140?l=facai882004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/feeds/8039895470186958140/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/04/yamaha-ybr-125g.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/8039895470186958140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8840704849856316324/posts/default/8039895470186958140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://facai882004.blogspot.com/2009/04/yamaha-ybr-125g.html' title='Riding is a lifestyle....'/><author><name>facai882004</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03113415741186181491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/S8G6baQbCiI/AAAAAAAAAVM/fO53Tzskb3E/S220/BLKRDR.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_BtAVaZxY4/SfmgeF54IDI/AAAAAAAAADI/cMBY8z3LRlE/s72-c/100_4911.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
