I'm Riding For

Uncle

Sometimes I find myself dumbfounded by the way the world works. I understand hardships come in many ways and forms. And we can only wish and hope that after each trial there is happiness waiting. Last year Niko and I rode in memory of a strong woman who was not only a mother of three, but also the hearth to her husband’s life. Now her husband, Mr Tung, a man of due diligence, discipline, and a dad to three amazing children, is battling cancer as we speak. I have nothing but respect for this man. What started out as family friends became more to us; as we view their whole family as a part of our own. And we would do anything we can to aid them whenever. So this year we ride to honor Uncle’s fight; as we know he will persevere and come out stronger than ever before. He will teach cancer never to mess with a Tai Chi Master. Please join us and send all your love and prayers to this wonderful family. And may the world please work its magic and bring happiness to all.

  • Niko’s Royal - Royal Oaks Bike Trail
    23 Sep 2025

    Longest bike ride Niko has done solo. A whopping 3 miles on his big boy bike. Learning to glide and ride. I can’t tell you how many times he’s been eager to ride for kids cancer this month; asking if we have the time to do more miles. Even when he fell face forward; he just got back up and wanted to keep pedaling.

    Thank you all for supporting him be the best he can be.

  • Pumpkin Patch Ride
    23 Sep 2025

    No school Friday means boy time. :)

    Neeks and I went down to the OC Railroad Park area where we got to ride a hayride, pick out pumpkins, and rented a bike to get some miles in.

    It was a beautiful day and an absolute blast.

    “Thank you my brotha from another motha! :) When I told him that Chazmanian and his fam donated Neeks was so confused. I was like “it’s uncle Chaz” and he was like “oooohhhh”. I think he misses y’all. He still remembers playing under the tent and reading stories in his room when you three last came. Hopefully, we can do more play dates and the two of the boys can ride together when they’re older; like we use to.”

    “Hmm… I wonder who this could be… ;) If I’m right then it’s probably an auntie and dadhima who love their little nephew/grandson sooooo much that want him to know that they support him without even needing any recognition. But don’t forget; I will always recognize all that help and will never forget what your influences have done to help him grow. Love you both dearly.”

    “Big, HUGE shoutout to you, Auntie Lana, and Uncle Gooch. Every year, you both show so much love towards Niko and my aspirations of being better. Your generosity always dumbfounds me as the both of you have so much love to give and ask for so little. The true definition of unconditional love from your family. Niko and I want to personally thank you again for the ongoing support. The immense amount of love. And for never changing. You two are prime examples of the type of people we want the world to become. And slowly are role modeling that to Niko. He knows how much you do when we bike and how much you selflessly give. And those things stick to him. So I’ll say it a million times if I have to… thank you. Thank you for what you do as Samaritans. You are changing the world into a better place.”

    “Since we met, I’ve only known one thing certain about you… it’s either that you’re Philipino or that you have a huge heart for making a difference in people’s live. I mean we did meet in a volunteer organization where you spent hours of your life giving back to the communities not only around you but wherever you could make it to. And I only know of two types of people in the world… the talker and doers… you definitely are a doer. The one who is making a difference in the world. Thank you bro bro. We truly appreciate you. Hope to catch up soon.”

    “I’m going to be honest… I thought building community was not something I was going to find in Temple City… But then we met y’all. A neighbor who is not only friendly, kind, supportive, and present… but also has wonderful children who brighten up all of our days. We are all so excited to hang out with y’all whenever that garage opens. And now we are counting down the days to meet onboard the ship. Seriously, thank you for being you and being apart of our lives. We truly appreciate everything y’all do.”

    “I love how fate works. Niko was suppose to go to Japanese preschool in Hacienda but they were all full. So we went to SGJCC to check it out and we were hooked. And from there Niko met Mila and the rest is history. Niko now not only has a strong friendship who also shares the same cultural backgrounds as him, but is friends with a girl who has the heart of gold and so much love to give. We can only thank our lucky stars to have met all of you. Thank you so much for your support and friendship. It means a lot to us. :)”
