optimus....

one of my childhood favorites! these characters never really ceased to amaze me even after all these years. like the millions of fans awaiting to watch this movie i was really so excited. i hope michael bay makes another film about these robots but with a complete set of characters hopefully the dinobots would appear :)

after a day of unending stress (financially that is) look what i found!

just when i was to start my week (on a sunday!) yep! my work starts on sunday, i encountered again one of the disadvantages of having your own mode of transport, a somewhat serious mechanical problem on my vehicle. as i was starting it up early this morning because i have to accompany my wife to work there was an unending flash sign on my panel board for which i thought was not that serious to ignore. last week, the car won't start so my first assessment was the battery, but when i checked the indicator on the battery the color was still blue and this means it's okay, hindi pala! then i remembered it has been two years since we acquired the car and this means that the lifespan of the battery has come it an end. masakit sa bulsa pero kelangang palitan na and after that i thought everything will be okay. so this morning i called a mechanic and inquired regarding that green flashing light on the panel board and he said that something's wrong with the four wheel drive mechanism (hindi ko pa nga nagagamit sira na). the mechanic explained that everything in a modern car right now is electronic, in layman's term "komplikado na ang lahat" hehehehe. so i drove the car to the shop and i was even more shocked when a "kabayan" told me it will cost me 1000++ qatari riyals!! (pucha dyes mil!) :( just for a switch and solenoid valve and i don't even know how do they work! hehehehe so i left the car in the shop, went out for a walk to the bus stop with a 44-degree celsius temperature outside samahan mo pa ng sandstorm a pagsakay ko ng bus para akong umubos ng isang lata ng spray net sa buhok ko! imagine walking under the sun at 10 AM!

i couldn't even relax inside the bus, the aircon can't keep up with the heat plus the passengers! man! ang baho!!! lahat na siguro ng klase ng baktol maamoy mo sa loob ng bus. pwede sa Guinness!

i wasn't able to report for work on a regular time so now i'm here in the office until 10PM. i was reading some news on www.inquirer.net and i read on the breaking news link regarding Club Dredd. haba ng story ko no? hehehe it made me wax nostalgic nax!!! hehehe when i read that Club Dredd has been brought back to life, with the efforts of none other than Patrick Reidenbach. i really miss those days when i was still in college, saving 100 bucks for the entrance fee and 50 bucks for beer and smokes. nakakamis yung amoy ng banyo! yung palpak na sound system at yung gotohan sa tabi ng Dredd dati.

i'll be on vacation on october so definitely i will go to Club Dredd! nga lang sa eastwood na baka maging "conio" na Club Dredd wag naman sana.

the enigma that is raul

well he did not make headlines when he said that when the Human Security Act is effective next month, the media could be a target for surveillance such as wiretapping if they are considered threats to national security or suspected to be sympathizers to so called enemies of the state (or enemies of Gloria).

how the hell does this deranged man have a position as a cabinet secretary and address him as "honorable" and a salary from a hard earned taxpayer's money? when everytime he opens his mouth nothing significant comes out of his pie hole. he should be forcefully retired from his cabinet position and live in his world of the unknown. i think he already has dementia which is full blown. i am put pf the country right now and everytime i read the news about the philippines and this guy shows up it really irritates me. look at his face, a face only his mother could love! :) siRaulo talaga!

driving in qatar

if this was more of a close up pic it could get a bit gory. this is just one of the reminders of driving way above the speed limit, actually a year ago the other vehicle was a toyota landcruiser i was just wondering why they removed that SUV and placed a smaller vehicle. this landmark is seen on the doha - al khor road. from my own observation as a motorist here in qatar, this landmark does not seem to make a great effect on most drivers passing by this landmark, when the speed limit is 120/kph and after passing through this one six cameras are waiting along the stretch of this long road and yes these cameras don't offer that much scare to drivers going way up the speed limit, especially landcruisers and nissan patrols driven by locals and expats alike.
