MyHealthPak Makes Another Celebrity Must-Have List

Certified Rocky Road

It was a splendid day yet my heart was thumping wildly as I embarked on a motorcycle ride of my life. A team of eight individuals were on their way to the infamous 23rd km-remote-rural-barangay up in the mountains of Lanuza.

I never imagined myself on that trip as I gripped tightly the shoulders of my companion back riding on the single motorcycle with wooden wings at each side carrying 2 passengers each. Proper precautions were given to each of us so nothing hazardous will happen. One is that, when riding on this kind of transportation, the passengers who are seated on each wing need to be calm in case the motorcycle will be out of balance and he/she should never put his or leg down for support as it might be the end of one's sturdy leg.

Brrrrrrrooooom,  I could hear the engine shouting and screaming as it goes over rocks, puddles of mud, and dead trees; but more on the rocks as I scream and wanted to close my eyes every time our motorcycle tries to run over them and would cause us to bounce and bounce almost falling off our seats.  What's more, there were instances when we were actually in between cliffs!  Indeed, certified rocky road but I guess the ice cream would be so much better.

My knowledge about motorcycles was enriched as I learned that with the type of road, a certain rubber motorcycle tire is required. They were talking about 135 or 130. Searching over the net, it's more of 130 which allows more grip and balance for that kind of terrain.  The speed required should not be too slow or too fast.  There were even moments when we had to walk for a couple of times so we will not all fall off our seats.

After almost 2 hours of motorcycle ride, we reached the barangay named Pakwan (derived from the edible fern called Pako very common to the place) just as the last ray of sunlight faded over the trees.

I can not help but say all the words I know saying Thank You for the protection and safe trip we had.

On our third day, this same adventure will recur as we will still be having the same ride, but this time, it will be descending down slopes of the mountains and hopefully the weather will cooperate having Mr. Sun smiling gladly.

 Do you also have some adventures on the field like this? Tell me more about it.

Return to Mythology

On a day like this, I prefer to just lie on my bed and daydream as hours would pass by while listening to my favorite radio station, Radio Cafe' over the internet. An SMS would make my phone beep and pull me away from my imaginings. My toes happily wiggle to the beat.  In quandary still, thinking what possibly I do to make myself mobile once and for all for a change.

My usual Sunday became something different all of a sudden as I decided to watch with my sister and cousin the Wrath of the Titans. 

The movie was the sequel of the other year's movie, Wrath of the Titans, which critics claim that the classic and older version was better. I care not nonetheless as I feel I really do not have the authority to say so. Would my opinions really matter? Who knows as I have a new dream... to be able to publish my review on movies that could on my way.

Overall, it was a movie about sacrifice, forgiveness, and the unconditional love of a father as displayed by Perseus. My insight definitely is that of knowing how things come out as a result of one's action - good or bad. We never comprehend the extent of damage or grace that things turn out to be.

Spoilers not I provide so you will see the movie for yourself. However, one thing that I can give you is the image they presented in making the labyrinth of the Minotaur well-crafted that you would feel you were also inside it. Make sure you will know how to get out.

So watch and enjoy the movie. Don't forget the popcorn =) Let me know what you think afterward.
