Three Cups of Tea

“The first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend, and the third, you join our family.” Three Cups of Tea (TCoT) I hardly read non-fiction books, mostly fiction and history books. I just find fiction is more relaxing, which is a good way to free your mind from our daily news and work. I have heard of TCoT for a long time now but never got a chance to read it. I have a tendency...

Negative tide

Heard of it but never seen it myself. The traffic to Half Moon Bay (HMB) around 2pm was insane. Backed up to 92 and 280. It’s rare that negative tide happened during the day from 1pm. On top of that it was a long holiday weekend so people had some extra time to come out. Didn’t get to the beach until 4.30pm. Chance to see trapped critters was diminishing. What left was a beautiful...

Tour of the California Alps 2011

Also known as ‘death ride‘. They don’t call it death ride for no reason. The deadly part actually doesn’t come from the elevation workout nor the distance but more from riders’ ego and descending on these passes. I seriously didn’t have any idea what I was getting myself into since it was my first time. One week before the ride, I went out with my riding club and...

Mountain climbing from East to West

It’s been a long long time since I wrote on my blog. I ran out of ideas. No motivation. However, in my own defense, I’ve been “tweeting” more on FB because I don’t see a point to blog with only one or two sentences. Unfortunately, FB is only for people on the friend list. Somehow I have a strong feeling that someone out there is care enough to read all my posts, so I...

Untitle #1

Your road crossed mine. Our eyes met, Fireworks exploded in my heart. A smile forms over the horizon of your face. Your hands held mine, A perfect match. The dusky twilight ushers me to sleep, A dream that I will never forget. The warm sun rays glistening over our tranquil bodies. Happiness. Blissful lovers. Written by...

From San Jose to Morgan Hill to Watsonville

A day hike today to catch the tail end of the winter in the Uvas Canyon area. I know this area quite well with my bicycle. At least once a month I bike here, it’s such a lovely place for cycling, not to mention to live here. The quite countryside that is not swamp with traffic – almost a perfect place for cyclists. For the complete set go to my Flickr page. “A great photograph is...
