Ok here’s the continuation from my “Got Mamachari?” blog post last month. And as I’ve promised I’ll be posting pictures too of “Biko“,the name I’ve given my mamachari hehe. And mind you, its not just ordinary photos, but in HDR or High Dynamic Range photos.

So basically, I bought Biko simply for health purposes, as I’m gaining weight fast and need some sweating activity. With Biko, I can travel light, do errands, or simply ride around the community. And best of all, Biko is an instant subject whenever I go for a mini-photowalk

Ever heard of the word Mamachari? We’ll its actually a japanese word for their famous City Bike. (Mama – Moms, Chari – Chariot or two-wheel carrier) that was initially designed to be use by the workaholic moms. Its the one that has baskets infront and kid seats at the back which you can see all over Japan.  And because of its durability and ease of use in the streets, it also became a hit to the working dads.

Nowadays, based on my personal experience, mamachari can be seen all over Metro Manila mainly because a lot of these bikes are being imported here by surplus dealers and were sold at a very cheap price.

And yes, I’ve have this blog post because I’m recently a proud owner of a mamachari. I’ll post some other time more photos and the reason why I’ve choose to bought one

Yamaha scooter fans has something to rave again as Yamaha Philippines officially launched the Yamaha MIO MX 125 last night at the famous Bonifacio High Street at the Fort. With the alluring DJ Nina adding that high feeling to the riders around with her awesome beats.

Prospective buyers of other brand of scooter would think twice after now that the Yamaha MIO MX has arrived. Just an example was my friend. His decision was abruptly gone haywire after seeing the MIO MX 125 last night haha! He’s planning to buy a Kymco Like next week but after last night, I dunno haha!

I hope Yamaha Philippines would release more color options. They only unveiled three last night – The Bluish White Cocktail – the Black Metallic and Leaf Green Metallic. How I wish they raffled the 3 last night coz I badly needed a ride wahhh!
