Car talk

I’ve accomplished about 98% of what I intend to do with the new car. I was supposed to post this when everything was done, but there’s been a delay on the two “parts” I’m waiting on.

You have to understand that this is essentially my true “first car.” I have this wierd OC-ness with hand-me-downs/2nd hand stuff… I basically don’t like them. I like brand new stuff because I’m the type of person who really takes care of the things I own 1 That’s the reason why people like buying my used items; because they’re almost certain that whatever I sell them will be in excellent condition

That’s why I was never attached to any of our other cars, either they were 2nd hand, or brand new but had to be shared with my sister, etc. etc. I could really never bring myself to care (or spend) for something I know other people have dibs on hahaha. That’s just the way I am.

This car on the other hand, is one I had chosen myself, I had acquired myself, and have full control over. If something breaks… I know it was because of me – because there’s no one else to blame… and I wouldn’t mind spending to fix it. Read More

I guess everyone knows about this by now.

As a musician (you know, the type who actually makes music and doesn’t just sing, etc.), I really sympathize with Mr. Granada’s plight. Bukas Palad even has one of his songs on album; and given very barat sa budgeting ang BP, 1 We wanted to include some songs by Yano at some point – but never pushed through because of fees involved it’s safe to assume that Mr. Granada is not unreasonable with his “rates/fees.”

I know the economy’s in a credit crunch and that everyone’s looking for the cheapest way of doing things. And for the most part that’s fine; they just get what they pay for. But to blatantly “game” the system the way they’re dong and screwing someone like they did Mr. Granada… that just really gets on my nerves!

Twice Blessed

So it seems the stars have aligned! 1 Sorry Katz, it’s NOT that other thing… yet. Soon, dear… I just didn’t want to talk about it until everything was set in stone; nothing worse than making a statement only to find out later that it didn’t push through.

There are two major practical investments a person would eventually have to worry about one day. One would be the roof over your head (home), and the other would be the wheels under your feet (transportation).

Of course the second is not as important as the first (since there’s always commuting), but for the most part it is a legitimate investment that will make life easier. Read More

Here’s to starting the year with an explosion!
