vintage

1963 BUICK SKYLARK

So… I’ve been really eyeing vintage cars sold online. Not that I can afford, but it thrills me to know that there are still those old car models built at around the 50s or later that have been kept in the garage. Where else? Philippines!

(I am a huge HISTORY geek. Thanks to History channel for providing me interesting facts. I loved how time evolved, what happened back in the days and how come things are what they are now. Surely, it has a past, worth telling and knowing.)

I am awed at old cars. I saw one in Fullerton hotel. I did not get the model but I think It’s probably built at around 1920s. super old. The ones that have spare tire at the back. I couldn’t help but be mesmerized. Beautiful!

Perhaps… if I were 100x richer, I probably know what my hobby is. My friends would tell me I like boy stuffs, but really… it excites me more than makeup ands heels. Duh! Don’t get me wrong, I am not against these girly stuffs but I just don’t think it’s appropriate to stereotype WOMEN as having to be bounded to bags, shoes etc. We deserve a percentage in the woman’s population; those who love electronics, cars, vintage stuffs raise the roof! I am quite sure I am not the only one! haha

Anyway, I saw this car online it was painted blue. The rear doesn’t look a bit pleasing although the seats were so-so. Then I thought, wow! I’d like to have this car. I want to have a project car for which I would restore its grandeur slowly or perhaps to have me busy. Then I saw the price, and I was computing mentally, I thought I can afford it.

I immediately asked Manang how much did her car’s transportation cost from Manila to Davao is… she told me it was 23K but I found out, it depends on the model, the weight and some minor details. It’s possiblle! My mind went over excited, adrenaline rushed in.

I got too excited. I contacted the seller. I imagined a lot of repairs already. Perhaps, it would be a major overhaul. I’ll have it repainted in pearly white. And revive the wheels like those of an early American era. Fantastic!

I told my sissy about my plan and she laughed at me. Gosh! I am serious! I have never been so passionate about something, just now. Perhaps because, I know I wanted it more than I want anything else. I can imagine driving it around Davao. Cool ride, huh?


I checked my email again today… I haven’t got any reply. Awww too bad. But once I receive a bit of message from the seller, I’ll blog it up! Excited aren’t we? ^^

Friendship is spelled with END

Image
As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
