The two sides of the story behind a car accident

“It takes two to tango” – Anonymous The Monday morning and prime time news is filled with news about accidents, most of it tragic, involving motorized vehicles. While watching it on TV I can’t do anything but shake my head in disappointment that once again, lives have been wasted and worse, others are lost [...]

Power is out in Puerto Del Sol

(Bolinao: Day 2) The steady hum of the air-conditioning stopped and while I was anticipating for the electric fan to automatically take its place, it didn’t. Suddenly, I realize that I wasn’t home. I immediately remember us arriving very late last night after an almost 12-hour trip coming from Cavite. I was on the other [...]

400 kilometers later

(Bolinao: Day 1) On Thursday, we were informed of our reservation confirmation by a representative of Puerto Del Sol resort in Bolinao. She said over the phone that although the whole Bolinao is still out of power after the place was ravaged by typhoon Emong, they have power up using a power generator. Damn, that [...]

The prancing horses are limping

The recently concluded Spain F1 race was once again disappointing, well, at least for a Ferrari fan like wifey and I; and of course, for the rest of the Tifosis. Needless, to say it’s more disappointing for the Ferrari team itself whom I’m quite sure has high hopes this season to start it with a [...]

Memories from the car clutter

Yesterday I finally had the time to vacuum the interior of the car. I’ve washed its exterior at least twice in a month but the hectic schedule and the crazy weather prevented me from taking the vacuum cleaner out of the house and into the car. Yesterday, everything was perfect: sun’s up, I woke [...]

There’s a word for it: Stroboscopic effect

I’ve just watched the live Bahrain F1 race and during one of the laps I saw a shot of Felipe Massa’s Ferrari overtaking the Fischicella’s Force India car which is actually one of the exciting moments of the race – watching a red bully battle out with a fighting underdog. The shot also shows [...]

Guilt-free traffic

Bacolod – Just got back home from a crazy early morning traffic jam. The lane was packed – if I can recall it right there were six lanes one way. Others in front of me were moving slow. On my left and right were drivers just merrily chatting with the other drivers of the nearby vehicles – [...]

Fast

It’s just two and half, and yet almost everything has happened so fast. Friday. We went to the beach – it was Marcus’ first. The weather was crazy as it was forecasted to be one hot sunny day. It indeed looked like it in the morning but just before we left the weather changed. [...]

Earth Hour, anyone?

I was attracted to this thought-provoking blog and my curiosity got me reading it. Despite being a self-declared environmentalist and a greenpeace wannabe, I seem to understand where the blog’s author is coming from – she’s fed up with all the hypocrisy and hype. What I find funny though that after reading the blog [...]

The anatomy of our monthly savings

Tonight I’m happy…somehow. I have just finished listing and computing our monthly expenses since it is already the last week of February. I’m not expecting anymore regular expenses as we have already bought our groceries and baby stuffs which usually share the largest slice of our expenses pie. I have actually made a conscious [...]
