Bike Story

Hi, .

Two Sundays ago, I decided to hear the 7:30 am Mass in our parish even if I woke up at around 6:45 am.

Kasi, sa dami ng Misa dahil sa Simbang Gabi, kumokonti ang tao na nagsisimba. Mas marami nang church goers sa gabi at madaıing araw. Baka biglang mag-cancel na ng 9:00 am Mass schedule sa simbahan namin. 

Ayoko namang magsimba ng 4:00 pm kasi 6:00 pm ‘yung anticipated Mass for the next day. Baka umabot ako sa stratosphere ng kabanalan. Char.

Ang problema, ang sabi ng kapatid kong biker, may malaking truck na nagmamaniobra sa parish area. The truck is huge, both road lanes were on traffic.

Lagot. Paano na ang plano ko? Ayokong magbayad ng P9.00 para maghintay sa dip at ma-late. Ayoko din namang maglakad kasi male-late din ako. (15 mins walking distance at parish namin.)

“Pwede bang pahiram ng bike mo?” I told my brother. To which he said yes.

He adjusted the seat (ehem, height problems). Then I was off to the church.

Totoo ang balita: traffic stood still because of the truck. But because of the bike, I was able to catch the 7:30 am Mass on time. 

2019 might have treated you badly.

You let go of irate clients.

You think you are doing the right thing but somehow, it is not enough.

You even start to think if you are enough.

If you are reading this email now and you reached this part, it means you are alive. And God willing, you’ll see fireworks for 2020.

Be brave to face new challenges, new dreams, new opportunities.

Don’t be afraid. You are brave. 

Brave people have bikes. They work around the challenges to make their dreams a reality.

2020 is just around the corner. I hope you ride it in style.

You’re exceptional,
