The Beauty of Pain

"Caily Lane!"

"Caily Lane!"

"She's so fucking good!"

Nearly a year after Caily Lane, 26, became the first woman to complete Ricky Carmichael's Road to Supercross, which earned her an endorsement to compete in the 250 class in Monster Energy Supercross, the sixth-time X Games medalist has announced that she will make her supercross debut and race against men in the 250SX East Region next month.

Lane, with three X Games gold medals in Women's Moto X Racing and a three gold in Moto X Best Whip, will ride for the Mississippi-based Hanson Racing Team (HRT) aboard a Suzuki. Golden's first event will be June 14 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

"I'm out there and I'm trying to race just like every single person on the track is -- because they believe they can do it," Lane said. "I believe I can go out there and make a night show. And that's why I'm going to do it." I said and ended the interview.

God! What a tiring day. But the feeling of fulfillment embraces my soul right now. I am beyond happy. One of my dream is coming true.

Sino naman ang mag aakala na ang isang tulad ko na babae sasali sa larong panglalaki. Most of women loves luxury bags and shoes. I love motor cross racing. I love cars and dirty bikes more. Well, I have one vague habit- collecting lacey lingeries. Ang madalas namin gawin ng best friend ko.

Hindi ko na matandaan kung kailan nagsimula. Siguro noong bata pa ako. When one of my brother gave me a motorbike as a gift. I remembered na galit na galit noon si daddy. Parang niregaluhan daw ako ni kuya ng kamatayan dahil sa binigay niya. They were all worried. Baka daw maging tibo ako o hindi kaya maaga akong mamatay.

I know why they are over protected over me. Kaya nga gusto ko ang laro na'to. Dito napapatunayan ko na malakas ako at hindi natatakot. Kaya kong gawin ang pinaka impossible. Ang sarap ng feeling pag umaarangkada na ang aking motor. I feel so carefree and contented.

Pauwi na ako ngayon sa Pilipinas. Lumuluwas lang naman ako patungong ibang bansa pag may race ako. Mostly in US and mga racing na sinasalihan ko. I miss my best friends. Magsisimula na rin pala ako ng aking residency. Minsan tinatamad ako ngunit pag naiisip ko kung bakit ako nag doctor nawawala bigla ang aking katamaran.

Bigla namang tumunog ang aking cellphone. It was Drake one of my fling here in US.

Drake:
[Hi babe! Where are you?]

Me:
[Going home.]

Tinatamad akong makipag-usap sa kaniya.

Drake:
[That's so fast. We haven't spend time with each other. I miss you.]

Me:
[I have to go home. There's an emergency. Maybe next time. Keep safe!]

Drake:
[Ok ok. Be safe also.]

Hindi na ako nagreply. Napapansin ko masyado na itong clingy this fast few months. Parati na itong nag memessage dati rati deadma lang. Bahala siya sa buhay niya.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport...

Finally landed and at last I'm home, iba talaga ang feeling pag nasa Pilipinas ka. Dala dala ko ang aking hand carry language na dumaan sa exit patungo sa parking. I saw Tatay Rigo and his son Mark, kanang kamay din nina Daddy. Sinundo nila ako gamit nila ang sasakyan ni Kuya Declan sinabay din nilang dalhin ang aking Duccati Panigale V4 SP, my new baby. Alam na nila na hindi ako sumasakay sa four wheeled vehicle. I'm used to riding a motorbike. Except for some untoward situation that a four wheeled car is needed.
