Just like what I announced at my SELaplana blog, I already launched our new Online Photo Gallery. This gallery will be the place where we can publish all the photo we took from our trip with my Honda XRM motorcycle.

As of now, we only have seven photos taken from my trip to Mt. Tabjon of Hinunangan, Southern Leyte, as shown below:

I wish to replace my old helmet with the new VOX Helmet as shown below:

It's a full-face helmet (of course) and a DOT approved helmet with one hand touch of the button opens the entire front of the helmet which allows you to talk, get gas, change glasses, or visit an ATM without taking your helmet off. But not only that, it is even more convenient, to just flip up the shield with good ventilation and is really easy to clean.

Just take a look at this image below if the front face of this helmet is opened up.

It's really a nice helmet. I really like it.

I wish somebody will buy it for me.

These pictures (of the Honda XRM) were taken yesterday at the Lungsodan, P. Burgos, Southern Leyte

Today, my new Honda XRM motorcycle marks its first 2,000 KM run as shown on the photo below:

One of the problems that I am now experiencing while driving my new Honda XRM motorcycle, is the feeling of sleepy.

I was really thinking what's the cause of it. And got several reasons as listed below:

1. Maybe I am already tired.
2. Maybe because of lack of Oxygen because I am always wearing a closed-type helmet.
3. Maybe I need to take Iron.
4. Maybe I need to take a nap first before driving.
5. Maybe I really need to take energy drinks.
6. Maybe my blood pressure raises again.

I will still observe my body to know what really is the reason. I really need to find remedy for this problem to avoid any accident on the road.

For several days of using my new Honda XRM, I almost experienced accidents twice:

First last Wednesday when I was on my way home from Hinunangan. In Barangay Nahaong, Libagon, Southern Leyte I overrun a dog and I almost lost control of the motorcycle which was running at the speed of 60KPH during the incident. I really thanked God for saving me from that accident.

However, this afternoon, after my transaction at the Land Transportation Officer here in Maasin City I took the road in a hurry which led me to almost hit the coming passenger type Multicab. The driver shouted at me, cursing me. But I didn't give him attention to avoid problems...

What's the lesson here?

1. Avoid driving in hurry. You can drive faster but don't drive fast because you're in hurry. This is because if you're in hurry, you're mind will be filled of those things that made you in hurry and therefore can't focus on your driving.
2. Before entering the road if you're off the road, make sure that there's no vehicle coming from any direction. Give way to those drivers who have the right of way.
   
3. Be ready on what emergencies you might encounter on the road. Practice defensive driving.
   

I created this blog in order to segregate my posts about my travel experiences from my main blog, "SELaplana".

I know, my acquisition of my new Honda XRM 110M motorcycle will lead me to experience different adventure from Southern Leyte down to other places in the Philippines.

Few days ago, I was on my journey to Hinunangan, Southern Leyte. That was a great adventure. But I forgot to bring camera to record all the beautiful places I passed by.

But now, that I have this blog, I think I am now more inspired to go to different places and to do some exciting adventure.
