The Journey

     Its been eight years since my last trip to the Philippines. Now it's time to relive all those experiences again. From entering the airport, to take-off, to prolong hours of siting, to landing and reuniting with some of my relatives. This trip will again be forever remembered in our memory. This is the kind of adventure I've been waiting for so long.
     I always adore the feeling of flying, especially the take-off and landing parts. I just like to see the speed, wing flex, and the feelings that the plane go through. The only draw back is that there is just barely enough room for me, but hey that's just typical economy class. What I also find fascinating is as I fly across the world, I see how beautiful this planet is. I find it amazing how us humans as individuals are just a mere speck. Just to think, over 6 billion plus people live on the earth and can create an affect that can cause an effect on other humans and even the planet itself. Anyways, I'm going to continue my three week journey and experience this fun all over again, lol.

My Pondering Mind

     I've been thinking a lot lately about things to come later in my life. Some of them I think I may know the conclusion to, others are just unknown. I tend to be a bit pessimistic about a few things, or just have no hope on a positive outcome to it. I don't know, right now I just think I should just isolate myself a little bit, focus on my own things, and let my life take its own course.

Spectating


     Yesterday I went with my best friend down to on of the Miller Park parking lots for an event of autocross. We met up with more friends and had 3 of the crew's cars registered to race. The objective was to basically take your car (stock or modified)  and go through this coned obstacle course and see how fast you can go through it with out hitting the cones. If you hit the cones, you get time added to your overall run time. It was fun to spectate, watch friends race, and hang with the rest of the friends. What made it even more interesting was that it rained really hard too during the last half of the session runs. We all got into our cars and talked and stuff, ate a lot of food and had a lot of good laughs. I would say it was another awesome Sunday in my books.

     This event also gave me the strong urge to fix the Fiero enough and see if I can register it into autocross. I seen another 88' Fiero Formula out there racing and made me want to just get in and race. I have strong hopes in my future that I'll be racing a car in events like this making my life seem more positive and hopeful. For once I can actually enjoy life again and set back some of the things that have held me down aside. Oh and the idea of getting a Miata is growing onto me more and more now. :D

Cuttin' & Fixin'

 
     Dad told me to cut down some tree limbs that were scrapping on my neighbor's house, so I got those knocked down as well as the ones that were about to hit our house. I messed with the Ranger truck today. The ABS and brake warning light both were on as I was driving. Found out that the brake fluid was low so I added some more. Also after 6 months, I finally changed the serpentine belt on the pulleys. She now sound peaceful and quiet like a kitten sleeping on your tummy. :D

     Overall a good productive day.
