I've been on hiatus for a loooong time so I'm beginning 2016 with our engagement photos! Last January, Quick and I went for a two-day prenup shoot in Nueva Ecija with our glam squad: Team Fine and Dainty and Team Rose Abastillas.
When I tell people I don’t know how to ride a bike, most of the reactions are like, “Ha?! Hindi ka marunong mag-bike?!” (What?! You don’t know how to ride a bike?!). They find it odd and surprising. People I know first learned how to maneuver a bicycle when they were kids (complete with knee pads, elbow pads, a helmet, and a bike with a pair of balancing wheels), but I never got to learn how to do it when I was little.
I remember I was riding a bicycle with balancing/training wheels which I borrowed from a neighbor, but when my mother saw me, she was furious and commanded me to step down pronto. I was probably around 6 or 7 years old back then. Of course I can pedal on a stationary bike or a tri-bike/sidecar, but I just couldn’t find my balance on a bicycle.
