Last night, I had an epiphery (ref: the office)
: if Instagram disappeared, I’d have no online presence for my artworks, and no way to revisit my past adventures. So I added this not-so-secret section as an experience library: a space to archive my physically draining side-quests.

First ultra and first international race. Ang sakit mo sa katawan! 58km. 2700+m of vert. 3 mountains. It was a HOT climb with technical descents, but managed to power through. 11:05.03.

Probably my peak form in cycling. A 1v1 Vigan one-shot with Louise. A 400KM gran fondo—we managed to reach Vigan in one day. Then we stayed there for a night to rest. It was still considered a pandemic in the Philippines during this time, so we had to take swab tests whenever we crossed provinces.
Our hotel on the first night seemed to have been uninhabited for a year due to the lockdown, and we were the first ones to book it, sooo... Read more.
Growing up in a household one tier below middle-class, I never really considered making this a hobby. I enjoyed it, but I knew I couldn’t afford that kind of lifestyle at that point in my life... Read more.
