Fearlessly Furius

Since the day I dreamed to ride like a man, I haven’t given it up! From the first ride till to my last breath, I could say I have lived my life well each day. Few maybe can’t understand US but the satisfaction when you are taking these two wheels on the road, there’s already a FOREVER. I have been back and forth to the places where I want to go finding for serenity away from crowd.  This is my way of ESCAPE.

Yes - Driving is a skill but riding is a sense of passion and a social responsibility. Everyone can drive but not everyone can ride with respect. Respect can be earned firstly with yourself before with others. When you know how to accept & respect yourself, then there’s a place for other people to stay with you with respect. Brotherhood will be built and that you know you can go along with them and trust them in any ways around. You know you are safe and that they are harmless just like your wheels.

Every time we have a get together, I have observed that it’s priceless how these men take good care of lady riders. I mean, it’s not because they think we are weak but because we are like a glass to be handled with care. It’s a CAUTION!

 In addition with that, many times I’ve observed that it’s men who are preparing meals for their girlfriends and wives.  This is the 21^st century relationship goals.  J

An Open letter to my Crushes

Hi Crush #1!

You added me on Facebook and I checked on your profile how many mutual friends we have before I clicked “CONFIRM”. I accepted your request not because I was into you. You were not that attractive to me on Facebook (hihihi sorry). You even bothered to chat me and say “Hi” but since I was not interested, SEENZONE ang peg (feeling gwapa kaayu ko para mang seenzone) BTW, pa hard to get lang cguru ko ato..Until the day I met you in personal (nga di nalang nako esulti nganung ngkakita ta). Your face sounds familiar hahaha I mean your face was fully covered that I could barely see even its own shadow. However, I was just amazed how I could see some sparks in your eyes when mine met yours since I was fully covered, too ( mura man tag Moro-Ami ) . Honestly, on that day I felt something strange siguru kana ganing mura kag gekilig? Hihihi … You were in a distant but my heart dashed like a galloping horse. How could I feel that way when in the first place I was not into you online? Amazing feeling! On the same day, I saw your angelic face and I was totally into you. You were far better than “the you” online.  Fast forward, you sent me a message again and no further explanation I replied. We had a long conversation. You knew half of my life-story and I knew yours. We talked about lovelife, too! You were single and mine is questionable! Fast forward times two, you posted something on your wall and I was like --- ooh men, like the Economy in the Philippines, my feeling was depleting. Fast forward times four, I tried to ignore and forget my feelings for you. I avoided seeing you, too because I’m afraid I will fall to my ideal man physically but not emotionally. Xoxo #CASECLOSED

Hello Crush #2!

I have known you before crush number 1… I was in Cloud-9 when you stood closer to me with our pals long time ago. Probably, you have already a clue who am I for you have known me for years already. Yes, I have a crush on you but it’s just on that line since from the beginning. It won’t ever develop into love I swear because it’s PROHIBITED! SKWELA ug tarung please para makahuman na jud ka medyu dako na imong edad Kuya uy..and pwede hangyu? Ayaw sa pag-UYAB uyab ha!!! I will be MAD...

Hi there my new love Crush #3

I have just met you lately 

Nagkasabay ta going to the highest peak of Burgerland

And just yesterday our road to forever has crossed again;

For the second time, I've met you in the deep blue sea.

Hasta La Proxima Mi Amor !

Hey Folks, Gangsters, and Musketeers!

Irica is back! To me, Writing seems a hobby but not doing it every day!  A kind of hobby that needs enthusiasm of doing it. The passion that flares within a single moment: whether you write it or leave and forget. 

Here I am again. Found my fingers starting to press each letters and hearing the sound of click click click !

Cutting it to the chase, this blog is all ‘bout the bass! Nee, it’s not about the song by Maegan but about the bass of the broom broom broom !

Way back how many years, every time I saw a group of Riders on the road, I wished I was one of them.

‘Till I’ve met AMBC-SCC somewhere on June 2015.

The first longest ride with them is from Argao, Carcar, Barili, Malabuyuc, Toledo, Central Highway, Temple of Leah in Busay, going to SRP and heading back to Dalaguete.

Here at Felixberto , it started to rain and the fog was really thick that I almost couldn’t see the mountains. No! I mean, I really didn’t see the mountain after a few minutes. However, Rain or Shine we proceed to the next level. We drove going to Temple of Leah.

The next ride was in mountain side sa bukiring bahin sa Oslob going to Divine Mercy. Super duper adventure that I looked like a Kaber using my two feet to support the wheels in order to balance it.  You know, I rock but I’m afraid of rocks! Got an accident because of it way back 2011 of May.

But it doesn’t stop me to drive the wheels: just it made me more careful… I made it and took the wheels to Inambakan Falls for the second time and to Kabutungan falls where we did hiking to see the falls. Sorry girlalus, we were not able to take photos since it‘s dangerous for our phones and cameras to get wet! All I can say is, I had tried sliding on the strong current of water going down. FANTASTIC! Good job for me and to my sissies and bros who did it.

But the experience is worth. Worth of the stiff neck after the ride!

HELLO DUMAGUETE J

2015. Me, too I couldn’t believe it I have gone here driving Alone. We went to Bais and Tanjay. Hmm nothing special happened except with the long long long ride. Yaye driver na jud ko..aww..

HELLO BACOLOD J

2016. It was raining while trekking the Mambukal Resort. Approximately, we drove from Cebu to Mambukal at 3AM to 8PM.  I enjoyed riding but I was just too tired that my body couldn’t help sleeping safe and sound at Mambukal.

AIM HIGH with STI

Seek and listen to your heart; God will do the rest.

It was a God’s amazing blessing to me given an opportunity and a new level of journey in the field of teaching.  I was so blessed to be part in this democratic and friendly environment institution.

From the start ‘till the end, each day was filled with an excitement meeting with my first ever University students. Some maybe liked me and some didn’t but I know for sure that I was giving all of my best with a heart and confidence.  Through thick and thin, my fellow co-educators especially to our Dean and administrators didn’t leave me behind. They were always there to support and encourage us that we can be the best we can be.

Honestly, I don’t have any idea how am I going to start this blog because I have too much in my head. I just cannot exactly express it in a way I wanted to be.  How I love I could encode each details in here but I can’t. Everything has its limitations. I cannot even draw any emoticons to express how happy and lucky I was being in STI. Nevertheless, it could be better if I am going to give my insights about teaching as what I have learned with STI.

Foremost, teaching is FUN but not a joke! IT’s fun in a way you are mingled with different people highlighting their inner capabilities. Having them every day makes you discovers their differences and its true colors that sometimes the reason of your sleepless nights.  It isn’t a joke to bring some paper works at your residence just to get it done at the right time. Then, here comes the Friday! What you may call it? Thanks God It’s Friday (TGIF)! You will be happier because ooh goodness it’s Friday! I could sleep without expecting my alarm clock to buzz.  However, your supposed to be day-offs would end-up like weekdays. Why? Saturdays and Sundays are the days you would prepare your lessons for the whole week. Thinking about activities to be done and making PPT’s here and there.

Teaching is really an art. You have to dance wherever your feet will take you because it is mixed with lots of responsibilities e.g to students, school, communities, and so on.

Thank you STI, for challenging and inspiring me to pursue my career in education. You have molded me as a dreamer to aim high.

Lovingly Yours

Well-trained kaayu ni siya kay if ka popo on and pepe on na, mutihul dayun signal nga mugawas siya sa iyang balay. ^_^. Dili nalang kaayu nko tas un ang estorya kay y kahumanan ang among naagiang kalipay ug kalisod. Basta, siya ang akong pinaka pinanggang Nichole .
