Took me..what…more than 2 months to complete this online defensive driving course?! Why? Procrastination!!!  Until finally I just decided that I will have to finish this thing in one sitting.  Well after some little sitting here and there I just put this weekend aside to finish this thing off.

Now all I have to do is wait for the certificate in the mail. Tapos dadalhin ko doon sa munisipyo ng kalapit barrio namin.  Hopefully I won’t have any more tickets for a while.

Bigat din nito ah! Mahigit isang daan ang binayad ko doon sa minisipyo!  Ang lupit nga.  Pero oks na rin. Matuto ka!  Pero this time ala naman atang akong binili like the last time.

Ok folks! They have Knight Rider the series scheduled to air on September 24, 2008 Wednesday.

Have I mention how i liked the old knight rider and the pilot movie that they showed months ago?

Anyways, the new knight rider series which is the revival of the 1980 TV series about this Trans Am that talks and has artificial intelligence of the latest super computer,of course, in the 80’s concept will be shot not on film but entirely on HDTV cameras.  Since the HDTV units are being sold everywhere and almost the whole population of the US have HDTV capabilites it seems fit for this decision.

Now i guess I’ll have to order my HDTV upgrade…

Papasok na ako sa trabaho at makulimlim ang panahon.  Ito lang ang sarap sa tanghaling pagpasok. Walang masyadong trapik!

Pero one time I tried to leave the house early around 8am-lekba ako! nakakaburyon ang haba ng trapik.

Bigla na naman dumami ang tao dito sa dt. Nag long lunch ako today kasi takot na akong idrive yung kotse ko at kita na ang ply ng gulong. Kung ipipilit ko pa eh baka hindi na ako makapag blog pang muli! Lol!
Nung tininingnan ng sales rep yung gulong ko niloko pa ako at tinanong kung slick tires daw ang nakakabit.  Halos wala na nga kasing ply! Samadaling salita-nagatasan na naman ako ng humigit kumulang ng wadalaanda at sekalat. Yun na raw ang pinakamura nila. Wala kasi ng size ng kotse ko sa wally world kya dito na ako nagpunta.
Kanina mga 4 na tao pa lang at alas tres na ng hapon. Ewan ko ba kung saan lupalop nanggaling ang mga ito at nagsulputan na lang bigla.
Wala pa ring kupas ng galing ko sa bwena mano! Kahit hapon may bisa pa rin!

How else can you describe this kind of parking at the mall?  Come on people! If you don’t want to get your new precious vehicle dented and scratched up or something-leave it inside your garage!!! better yet park it inside your living room!

Sitting here at inside the car on a 93 deg heat is not a good way to spend my sunday afternoon.
As always triple A came to the rescue! There was a slight confusion on the street name whereas the difference between Lane and Blvd will take you a couple miles off the current location.
Thank God my bayaw Jeff is just a few minutes away so my wife and kids got a ride cuz we couldn’t get a hold of my son. I guess he was taking an afternoon nap at that time.
4:45pm - got here at the mechanic’s place since this breakdown happened on a sunday I have to leave this car at the parking lot and sit tight until my bayaw gets here to pick me up.
Well… That’s it for my sunday drive!

Bad trip! Sunday afternoon drive turned out to be depressing. Eh paano ba naman natikitan na naman for the second time!
 Noted sa summon ticket ‘ran a stop sign’. And daya ng lespyak na yun. Eh huminto naman ako eh! Yun nga lang hindi full stop. Nag glide lang ako kung baga eh slight stop. Ngek! mayroon bang slight stop?

Tangna naman! Bayad na naman sa municipal court yan!!! Mahina $100 para sa moving violation na ito. Putris talaga.
Ska this time aminado talaga ako na kasalanan ko. Talagang nag nag-aabang yung alagad ng korte para makaipon ng quota nila. Ahhh busit talaga!
Sa kakatipid ko sa ibang bagay sa wala lang mapupunta ang pinag iipunan ko? Leche!!

 Kaya sa inis ko napa punta tuloy ako sa Best Buy at bumili ng Western Digital Passport USB Portable Hard Drive (120GB 2.5-inch, 3.5 in width, 5.7 in depth, 0.8 in height). 
Inisip ko na lang na bumili ako ng isang bagay na mataas ang presyo. At least medyo nabawasan ang depression ko that day…

Finally got around in getting the expedition for state inspection. Buti na lang at pumayag ang may-ari ng kumpanya namin na maging company holiday ang president’s day. Daming naging activities.
Nakapag-shopping ng konti kasama ang jowa ko at nakakuha pa along the way ng pang-wall decoration sa kirkland.
1st day din ng dalawa kong anak sa trial period ng taekwondo nila dito sa area namin. Grabe din ang presyo ng ganitong activity. Few years
ago wala pang tasingkwen ang isang buwan. Ngayon rereglahin ata ako sa bayaran!

Took an extended lunch today and drove to my bayaw’s house to pick him up.

He had called me yesterday that an new engine is needed and he already found a surplus engine. So we went to Eric Engines and waited for a few minutes while the owner was chatting on the phone with another customer. As soon as he hanged up K. Jess asked for the Honda Accord 95 engine non-vtech b/c he previously spoke with the owner and they said they have it. We were a little PO’d when the owner said that he made a mistake and thought we were asking for a vtech.  What a dyk!
So I took K. Jess back to his house and he started making calls. Then his contact from that same store called him and said that the engine is ready to be delivered. Yea. we were confused. But got it squared away with the owner and I’m out of pocket $500+. Still in the practical way of living I’ll still be better off rather than scrapping the whole car. So next expense on the list- mechanic’s labor cost.  aaayyayaaayyy….

Damn! Yesterday afternoon just right after we visited Daddy from VA Hosp. we had to stop by Mama’s house to pick up the Honda. On the way back home I had to take the freeway. My two daughter was with me and we’re not even a few miles out when the car started to act funny. Don’t know nothing about cars but I can feel if something’s wrong.

Then suddenly there was a loud humming noise and the engine just stopped! I switched the emergency lights on and tried to get to exit at the nearest ramp. Didn’t make it and the car just stop just at the worst part of the exit ramp! There’s a lot of crazy drivers out there and at that time all it takes it just one stupid driver not paying attention on what they are doing and we all be going to the hospital.

Good thing I have an AAA card and a celphone. Requested an emergency service tow and a police assistance. AAA in turn quickly responded and notified the local Police Department and a squad car was dispatched right away. The officers parked his squad car a few feet behind me and stayed with us until the tow truck came. I thanked the officer before we left and head out to the local mechanic shop.

It was quite a scare for me and my kids but thank God we’re all ok. -whew!-
