Wheels of gLORIE
Time and time again, my parents would tell me... kung hindi ka sasali, hindi ka talaga mananalo. My wife Lorie, proved once again, na malayo ang nararating ng mga malakas ang loob.
Last September 8, we celebrated Grandparent's day at Robinson's Galeria. May HotWheels event, siyempre yung anak ko gustong mag-race dun sa mahabang race track na inassemble nila. In order to participate in the activities, you have to purchase P200 worth of HotWheels item. So bumili ang wifey ko ng dalawang kotse. Unfortunately, Rohan (anak ko) can't join because he's only 4 years old and only kids 6 years and above can join. Sayang naman. Pero sabi nung mga organizers na puwedeng sumali si mommy sa seniors division.
And so it came to pass, sumali si wifey sa seniors division. The object of the race is to survive the multi-looped track and get the fastest time. Fortunately that day, only 3 seniors joined and they need 5 contestants for that leg of the race. So kahit kulelat si Lorie that day, pasok pa rin siya sa final round that will be held on Trinoma on the 23rd of September. Maraming goodies si Lorie that day, giftpacks from McCormick, Leslie's and 5 hot wheels cars - astig!
There are 3 legs of the race, the 1st is at Robinson's Galeria, 2nd is Robinson's MetroEast, and the last is at Trinoma. The event is sponsored by Hotwheels and Toys 'R Us. The grand prize is P10,000, a trophy + hotwheels goodies + bragging rights. Siyempre, excited si Lorie dahil pasok siya sa finals! We asked people what's a good car to use in these races. And majority told us to look for a PHARODOX HotWheel car. It's common, kaya madaling hanapin.
September 23 came, and there are 13 finalists in the seniors division. Lorie was the ONLY female contestant. Unfortunately she lost the preliminary elimination and didn't reach the final 5. She got a time of 1 minute and 45 seconds, 9th place (that means she kicked the shite out of 4 other men). Nevertheless, may P500 gift certificate siya + a HotWheels car + McCormick goodies. Not bad for a P200 HotWheels purchase.
While we were driving home, I kept thinking that I should've joined :)
There's no harm in joining (unless it's a fraternity or something illegal). Who knows, you might win.

Miss Na Kita Morning Motivation# 1
Ever since I filed a one month vacation leave last May - June 2007, I haven't seen morning motivation# 1.
Here's a lame celfone picture pic of morning motivation# 1
How lame could it get? A friggin' picture of the back of her head.
Ok, tagalog language in the third person perspective story coming up... sorry for my international fans (naks, as if.)
"Si morning motivation# 1 or Miss Imperial (hango sa dating gusali na kinatatayuan ng Shopwise Antipolo) ang babaeng muling nagpatibok ng puso ni Reinard. Hindi kilala ni Reinard ang babaeng ito, ngunit kilala niya lang ito sa kanyang pagmumukha. Dati ay madalas silang nagkakasabay sa sakayan ng FX patungong Ayala tuwing 8:30 hanggang 9:15 ng umaga. Kilig na kilig si Reinard tuwing nagkakasabay sila, lalo na pag nagtatabi sila sa upuan. Sa PBCOM Ayala siya bumababa, pero kung hihinto ang shuttle sa Tower One Ayala, dun siya bababa para sumakay pa ng jeep (Washington ata sinasakyan niya o 'di kaya'y Zapote). Ilang beses na rin silang nagkakangitian ni Reinard tuwing sabay nilang sinasabi: "Sa PBCOM lang po!"
May kasintahan si Morning Motivation# 1 (nakita na ni Reinard sa pilahan ng valley golf terminal sa Ayala). Si Reinard naman ay may asawa (hindi lang niya alam kung alam ito ni morning motivation). So talagang hindi puwede, may sabit na pala ang gagong si Reinard. Isa lang ang pinagtataka ni Reinard, bakit kaya hindi sumasakay si Morning Motivation ng diretsong Antipolo pauwi? Laging bumababa si Morning Motivation#1 sa Valley Golf. Madalas din silang magkita sa Shopwise Antipolo tuwing nag-go-grocery. Mahilig mag-grocery si Reinard ng nag-iisa, therapy ito para sa kanya.
Isang araw ay pinayagang mag-leave si Reinard ng isang buwan. Nung pagkabalik niya sa kanyang mahabang bakasyon ay 'di na sila muling nagkasabay ni morning motivation# 1. Kamakailan lang ay nag-iisang nakasakay si Reinard sa service ni Donald Sibaca (isa sa mga driver ng shuttle sa Antipolo). Siyempre nagkuwentuhan sila tungkol sa trabaho ni Reinard, at nabanggit ng binata (naks) na advertising ang linya ng kanyang trabaho. Biglang naalala ni Donald ang isa pang babaeng pasahero na ang linya rin ng trabaho ay sa advertising, at madalas din daw kaming magkasabay. Nabanggit din ni Donald na hindi na niya naisasakay ang babaeng ito. Pagkakaalam niya ay nagdadalangtao na daw ang babaeng kinukuwento niya.
Si Morning Motivation# 1 na kaya ang babaeng iyon? Nag-asawa na pala siya? Siya ba talaga ang babaeng tinutukoy ni Donald? Hay. Napahanap tuloy si Reinard sa listahan ng mga bloggers na taga-antipolo. Marami siyang natuklasang nagba-blog na taga-antipolo. May mga kakilala pa nga siya na dati'y mga school mates niya noong hayskul pa lang siya. At maraming magagandang antipolo girls na nagba-blog, sayang lang at hindi ito updated.
Miss na kita Morning Motivation# 1.
(oo alam ito ng misis ko)
siyempre pag may #1, may number 2 motivation din, pero yun... ibang kuwento na.

TonTon Kariton!
Some pics from the Legendary Comicbook Heroes Toy Launch last Saturday (August 18, 2007) at Toy Palace Farmers Cubao. Direk Avid Liongoren and I have no plan to join the art contest, but when they said that the raffle would resume in a while, we just decided to join for the fun of it. Pamatay oras nga ika nga.
Tonton Kariton was drawn in a span of 30 minutes or less. Everyone knows that I'm obsessed with Iron Man and this character is my tribute to him. Tonton is a mix of TONy Stark and Calvin & Hobbes. There's no backstory about this kid, it's just something I drew to kill some time. I only thought about this character after seeing Avid's photo of him in his MULTIPLY.
Si TonTon Kariton
Si Tonton ay isang batang mahirap. Hindi siya makabili ng sarili niyang laruan dahil kapos sa pera ang mga magulang niya. Lagi siyang pinagtatawanan ng mga kalaro niya dahil, ang mga laruan niya ay gawa lamang sa ginupit na kahon. Lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat, si Tonton ay isang batang malikhain na mahilig gumawa ng kung anu-anong bagay mula sa basura. Ang kanyang obra maestra ay isang malaking robot na gawa sa kahon. Napapagalaw niya ito sa pamamagitan ng mga pusa, insekto at dagang nakatira sa loob nito. Isang gabi ay sinakyan ni Tonton ang ang kanyang Robot Kariton. Tamang-tama nakita ito ng mga akyat bahay sa kanilang kalye na may masamang balak. Natakot ang mga kumag at kumaripas ng takbo dahil ang laki laki ng robot. Simula noon ay nagro-ronda gabi-gabi si Tonton sakay ng kanyang Robot Kariton upang ipagtanggol ang parokya nila sa mga masasamang loob.

by the way, after someone won the major price in the raffle, we left without knowing the fate of our artworks.

Diyaryo! Bakal! Booty!!!
Bakal Booty
Eventually, I know I would come up with something like this. Sounds geeky. But doctors say that Iron is good for the blood.

Medical Shitty +
Long time, no post. That means I've been real busy the past few weeks.
Medical Shitty
Rohan was confined yesterday at the Medical City Ortigas. He was suffering from "fluctuating fever" since July 12, 2007. Fluctuating fever means, he'll get a fever, and it will be gone the next day, then come back again. We thought that he fully recovered last week Saturday and Sunday. But Lolo Ric and Lola Remy took him out for his cousin Leeyan's 1st birthday in Manila. I also let him have an extended bath that Sunday morning. We decided to have him confined come Wednesday morning, June 18 - because he's suffering from high fever (40c) + Stomach Ache and Vomitting. His Lola Remy suggested that we admit him to PCMC (Philippine Children's Medical Center), but they don't accept Medicard, so we decided to confine him in Medical City. It would be easier for me to confine him there since it's on the way to my office (unlike St. Lukes and FEU Hospital).
We arrived at Medical City around 5:30 in the morning. There are no available rooms, we had to wait. My dad called St. Luke's but they were also full. The nurses told us it's peak season for them since the weather is constantly shifting. Since this may be the same scenario for other hospitals. We decided to wait, hoping that there will be available rooms come lunch time.
Medical City's waiting rooms look fantastic. They have nice "closeable" dividers, that make your cubicle appear like a room with it's own aircon and lights. You can have your lights turned off and not affect the other cubicles. The only problem in the waiting area is that you don't get attended to very often, they won't even inform you that there are available rooms, unless you constantly visit the admitting department. The "intern" who also handled Rohan is not as efficient, especially when he placed a dextrose on him. Good thing, a senior supervisor arrived and did the work properly.
We only got a room come 3:00PM - thanks to my wife who persevered looking for a room in the admitting section. From thereon it was smooth sailing. The room we got is very nice (costs P2,100), they have a personal ref and my favorite, hot and cold shower. The staff is also very attentive, in fact even the Medicard Health Officer in there even assisted us on how to pay using our Medicard. :) I hope Rohan gets well soon.

This PostSecret postcard came in at a perfect time. On the other hand, what I felt was opposite.
It's really weird whenever it happens.
