Saw the director who won in Cannes this morning on Unang Hirit. Congrats to him... yey Never really was a fan of indie films. Themes like sadness, sex, homosexuality, violence seems to be the ticket to worldwide accolades, well, most of the time. I'm pretty sure the people behind them spent a lot of time and (often, their own) money creating their movies. They really deserve all that praise for their hard work. No offense but, wala na po bang iba? I guess I'm just too shallow for these things.

Gee Whiz...

Allow me to share a shallow yet very frustrating thing... I went to work in decent work clothes with the idea that I would get to do some real work like discussions with the staff, catching up on our projects and meeting some document requirements. I psyched myself up and prepared for what could be a real day IN the office. But alas and alack, Big Boss had something else in mind. I was tasked, no, ordered to take the car we're building out on test drives. Yup, test drives - more than one test drive which practically took up the rest of the day! Our mechanic and I would take the car out, test drive it, search for any kinks, repair it and test drive it again for 4 times. Sigh. What made it really bad was that I really wasn't wearing something comfortable. The sun was out and the A/C was non-existent. Not exactly a jeans, (new) T-shirt and leather shoes activity. Big Boss breathing down my neck did not help. I really hope we get everything sorted. Being some kinda Jack-of-all-trad

And now, a word from our sponsors...

Whew ~ I can’t believe my last blog post was on January! Marlie’s six and half months already and she’s been on a couple of trips with us already. First was in Subic and the other in La Luz, Batangas. Our baby’s beginning to love the great outdoors, especially the beach, just like her parents. She’s also getting to be a girl about town because we’ve been going to the malls and restaurants lately. Our project car might have hit a snag lately as Vic, our mechanic, has decided to pursue greener pastures. It’s sad seeing him go. From here on, we’ll have to rely on his assistant Joey and simultaneously search for a mechanic to help us continue with the project. Sigh~ Earlier this month, the Questor peeps decided to hook up down south. Yep, through the wonders of Y M and Facebook, we were able to actually plan an afternoon together. Though we missed Cecil, we were glad to have Patty (a friend of Cherry and Bambi), join our motley bunch. As alwa

Bellissimo!

It's been about 9 months now but well worth it. My brother and I have been on the firing line most of the time but we're glad our foray into car restoration has been quite a learning experience. Our Italian beauty is already shaping up to be meraviglioso! Hopefully in a few more months, we'll be done. Vic, our mechanic jokes a lot about having the car finished by Valentine's Day, ergo the color Rosso Red, heheh... Believe me, doing all these bits of fettling plus doing my real job is absolutely draining. But nothing's better than being with my girls at the end of the day. Molto bella!
