MatchaME’s First Voyage

The more time you spend outside, the more time you’re able to look at all sides.

2023. I’ve always been a fan of foldies. The term itself speaks to me: oldie with an F. LOL. As I am on my way to spend more and more time outside Manila, my MatchaME, my matcha folding bike is an investment.  May 2, 2023. My Tito Taurus’ birthday and MatchaME’s first voyage in my ina’s sleepy town somewhere in the South. Of course, I had first fold jitters and booboos. As I unfold this beauty, I am amazed about how well made she really is. Unapologetic. Tiny but mighty. Streamlined.  Dad egged me to get either a Trek or a Bianchi gravel bike because honestly these two are really strong challengers. Bianchi is a top contender because I like cyan and I like the letter B; plus the reviews are really, really buttery. I actually interacted with sellers already but, my heart belongs to the other B, baby! (May foldie ba Bianchi? Parang ‘di bagay though so pass.) Both are not budging in terms of the value for money and most especially, the curation I am slowly building up. Not about being fancy, but, why a foldie?  I am 5 ft. 2 in. and my arms are longer compared to my legs.  I travel and want to travel more both here, there and everywhere.  I try my best to fit a bike session in each trip.  I still am not confident to go back to driving. I am a TINY HOUSE bitch forever.  I am keeping up with city life and the life outside the city.  I am on my way to spend more time around Tagaytay very soon.  I don’t like fast bikes to be honest.  I don’t like upgrading bikes.  I don’t know a lot about fixing bikes.  I have trust issues hence I don’t like getting my bike fixed.  I have “space invaders” issues, too. I feel like my bike is an extension of my being and doing, hence, I don’t want other people to lambast my bike and me, too. (Tindi ko noh? Pati bike, hindi pinatawad.)  I like chill rides that are about 50KM at the minimum.  I dress up and dress down, so a foldie does well with ANY look and vibe.  I don’t mind running errands with a bike so as long as there’s not much smoke and not much distractions on the road.  I don’t want bikes that are placed in racks.  I don’t want bikes to get in the way and my way, too.  I want a bike that I can conveniently bring with me wherever I go, if possible.  I really have a thing for biking, walking, reading, writing in places that have ambient lights and sounds.  Ergo, a foldie is me.  My Tito is one of my fallen Twin Taurus Towers. The other is my mom whose birthday is coming up very soon. Really not sure if I intended to find a significant date for MatchaME’s first voyage but a lot has been happening in between sleeping less and eating less, too. To be honest, I bike because I need to convince my system to focus on more sleep and eating better. So far, I’ve been making a progress and would need to keep at it because I’m still on the cusp of a spiral or a sparkle.  Taurus szn, you shithead. I hope that MatchaME’s voyages would enable me to make sense of your inescapable entrance and exit. It’s not easy as I am still avoiding my emotions since February of this year. LOL. However, there are many times when I allow myself to feel the cut, the shiver, the pierce, the empty, the choke, the fail, and many more forms of vulnerability to come through the fortress I have built for the past decades.  What’s curious though is that through each brushes and strokes of, with and for vulnerability, I am also finding the calm. This 2023 chaos is indeed life-altering. Maybe, just maybe, this time around, I’d be able to go beyond connecting the dots backward. May this 2023 be the pivot that I’ve been waiting for as I make sense of all shit and wins in my life.  MatchaME’s first voyage was all about testing its power and its limits, too. No gear shifted as I traversed some kind of hilly and flat roads. No fancy tricks, just hyperfocus on what I can do with what LITTLE I have. So far, she’s giving. So far, she’s making my hidden dark heart and soul vibing. LOL. So far, I think we’re a really good match that had to wait. She ain’t easy to get as I’ve been dreaming about her since 2015. And so far, the wait is worth it. Super worth it.  Some lessons I got in her first voyage are:  1 Though you can’t fear the mountain when you don’t know its steepness, truth is, when you’re on you’re way up, you need to know how to make it without the tukod  2 Just in case you come across a tukod on your way up the mountain, it’s totally fine because you are human  3 People who belittle tiny packages do not matter. Surprise them and make them go wild as you make your way to the top no matter how slow you go 4 When people look down on your foldie, smile and tell them you got this and they ought to mind their own shit poetically with pektus (tuhuran mo ng very light ng tumigil)  5 You really need to learn how to befriend the break as you go from the top to the bottom 

6 Keep your eye peeled for stories that are worthwhile, always 

7 Stop chasing the distance. Enjoy the journey. Go for a chill ride.  8 The main road is definitely a good one, but the secret streets make any ride richer and fuller with their sudden uphill and surprising downhill  9 Too much wind, sun and rain are constants. Learn how to make it through them 

10 A bike is a tool, a weapon, and a companion  11 Water and coffee and polvoron might be my go-to for pitstops 

12 Learn how to check your bike before and after you ride (lagot ako sa nanay ko sa part na ‘to because this bitch can’t even pump air or do a basic bike check. Gawin natin ‘yan this 2023.)  Thank u, universe for the long wait for MatchaME’s first voyage. Let’s keep her trips, her detours, her dead ends and her stories coming, shall we?

Taurus SZN. ♋

📝

you have a lot of fire energy with your this season; this is responsible for our passion, creativity, & even our independence & bravery. in the preceding season, you have been building up a lot of confidence in what you are capable of & can create for yourself, & now you may want to burst forward with this momentum. while that is the best energy to have, you should be warned of experiencing burnout when you are not carving out time to rest. you've dealt with tough times this past zodiacal year & it has been a lot of test in your strength. you've learned lessons regarding self-worth & the importance of healing the parts of you that get held back through fear. the tarot card represented by Cancer is the Chariot, which can translate to 'vulnerable movement forward' in lot of cases. bravery & vulnerability go hand in hand, especially when wanting to pursue your dreams & desires, from relationships to career. with all of this creative energy, there needs to be a grounded & stable vision & step stool on how to get there. there's much proactivity in your energy now, so now would be a good time to create a steady plan of action or strategy.

💌

♀️

the feminine is embracing any & all opportunities that is coming to her & she is ready to break barriers as the energy shifts in her favor. she senses this because her consciousness is ready to go after what she believes she is deserving of. a lot of sudden changes are happening for her & she is learning to what it takes to truly 'go with the flow' when things feel chaotic. she realizes her intuition & the nuances of the things she notices based on her gut feelings. she knows what one sided relationships look like in their least noticeable form. this is a very powerful position to be in, so she is being reminded of her inner balance moving forward.

♂️

the masculine is going through more healing of the losses he's experienced. he was able to transform that into a truth that he was needing to see for some time now. he is getting used to the intuitive nod though he may still have slight trouble understanding some things that don't need explanation; he is working on creating confidence through this truth. his excitement & determination is starting to create conflict for him because he is in need of a formal plan that has more of a solid fitting. he has the creative energy that can get things moving forward, though he is needing to not let his fears of failure get the best of him. he may also be relying on the opinions of others which is something he should walk away from now.
