It was another fun-filled weekend for the Qatar Pinoy Riders as we joined hands with the different Filipino organizations here in Doha, Qatar to commemorate our country’s 110th Araw Ng Kalayaan.

Our group took the lead on the motorcade that started from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in the early morning of June 13, 2008 going to the Hyatt Mall where a short program was to be held as part of the celebration.

The CASTROL POWER 1 12-Hour Motorcycle Endurance Races — The Toughest and Longest in the Philippines and in Asia- May 31, 2008, Batangas Racing Circuit

“This was more than we expected!”

Thus happily exclaimed an executive from BP Philippines, the mother company of Castrol Lubricants, when they personally came and watched the staging of the just concluded CASTROL POWER 1 12 Hour Motorcycle Endurance Races held last May 31, 2008, Saturday, at the Batangas Racing Circuit.

The event was just one of the many high-profile launching pads for the newest 4T motorcycle oil to come out from Castrol’s product line — POWER 1, packaged in a striking gold bottle and featuring the company’s signature shades of red, white, and green.

The venue was in fiesta mode as it practically swam in Castrol’s red and green colors and most everyone was seen wearing Castrol jerseys, shirts, and caps. Some even commented that they haven’t seen an activity of this caliber for quite a while at the BRC.

The venerable Honda Super Cub motorcycle is the best-selling vehicle in the history of internal combustion, and there are now more than 60 million of them on the road.

With summer just about to end, I find it a little bit odd that things have started to really heat up lately. Rain has been steadily falling in the afternoons and you hope that will cool down the rest of the day or at least cool down the city to make the heat of the next afternoon arrives. But no, it’s been really hot lately and I have been forced to bring a couple of extra shirts to work to change my sweaty (literally dripping wet) shirt lest I catch pneumonia.

This is the first time in a long while that I’ve found the need to bring extra clothing. I have been able to handle heat pretty well for quite a while but I guess the added humidity has made the conditions just right for profuse sweating. Hay carramba.

So, a word of advise to the urban warrior, bring a shirt, you’re gonna need it.
