Valve Clearance Kept Changing

I don't know why the valve clearance of my bike kept on going bad almost every single month.

my last valve clearance adjustment was last October 8. and then today October 24 it started to act like it needs an adjustment, AGAIN!

How did I know? its hard starting in the morning. There are times that its very hard to start that I have to use a hair dryer pointed at the valves just to warm them up. Also the rpm sometimes drop when I'm riding and about to do a full stop. (you can feel that the bike will stall so I just rev it slightly)

Its been like this for several months already. so annoying that I have to kept on going back to my mechanic for adjustment.

This is my daily ride to work which is just about 30km per day (18miles). I don't ride hard since here in Manila, traffic is terrible.
