Racing Weekends
Monday, May 14, 2007

I think I'm falling in love with a new hobby. If I am to answer the what-are-your-hobbies part of a slam book (as in the ones you pass around way back in gradeschool) right now, it would say slalom racing in big bold letters. Haha!

So far, I've been to three racing events with Jax*** - two at the Shell National Slalom 2007 (one of which I was actually a driver-participant!) and one at the 2007 Autocross Series.

The first time Jax and Tammy joined the race was the day after I slept over at Nix's so we (Nix and I) "watched" together. I say watched with the quotation marks because 85% of the time we were just camwhoring and malling and motormouthing. We'd only go to the race site whenever Jax texts or calls me to say it's almost his turn.

* breakfast at good old McDo ATC * ratskee girls grace the event with their appearance * camwhoring in the dressing room * lunch at kenny rogers (stuffed kung stuffed dba?) * trying on gowns (won't forget mama hanika's scolding for being too loud inside the fitting room, thus the harassed-looking us) * mid-afternoon chikahan (yes we can't get enough!) over coffee and tea at starbucks * post-race pics (me claiming to be Tammy's driver) *

The second time, which was the (early) morning after Che's birthday dinner, was my least fave of all because:
  1. Uhmm..Uh.. I burned my nose. Arrgh. Imagine getting your face burned except for the 2-inch circumference around your eyes because of your sunglasses! Ugly, I tell you. Grrrr... Sabi na I should've brought my sunblock eh, never mind if they laugh at me. Actually, I burned my whole body - my shoulders, my arms, my back - that I actually looked like I just got back from the beach. *rolling eyes*
  2. I didn't get to take as much photos (and a decent one) of Tammy. I did get to record his practice run though. (I look like I'm a bored texter in the pic below but I was really trying my best to get a good grip of my phone).

To say that the last race was my favorite is an understatement. I heart Tammy for being good to me and for being obedient in avoiding those pylons. I heart Jax for being my masungit coach. 180! 180! Yung ganun-ganun! (referring to the sh-caine - however it's spelled) Haha! Classic to, Jax. I heart Tita Bing-Bang. I heart mymitsu.

1st place, Ladies' Class? Come on, you gotta be kidding me! =) Yup I was 1st, but then the other girl was DNF-ed. Hehe... Anyway, watch out for our interview at Studio 23's Stoplight TV. Naks, feeling artistahin ito!

almay here. i'm 25 and act like it when the stars are aligned. i'm currently attached (and loving it!) to the most spoiled big boy in the world aka jax. i'm an augustinian and an iska. i'm not a party person, more of the dinner-coffee type. i miss dancing though (it's been ages!). i'm a self-confessed crybaby and drama queen. i talk a lot, often even in a language only i could understand. recently, i've turned into that boyish kid. i love cars. i like driving, sometimes alone when i want to get away and think. i have a sweet tooth. give me chocolates with almonds and blueberry cheesecake and i'm yours forever.

(someday soon) i'd like to: swim in the pacific ocean. ride a hot air balloon. be (and drive) in a real racing circuit. sing with a band. have a month-long vacation without having to think about work. see the egyptian pyramids. lie in a bed of roses, literally. climb a mountain. have my own butterfly garden. complete my bath and body collection. finish reading the Bible, cover to cover. be in the set of grey's anatomy. go on a totally unplanned road trip. learn three other languages.

"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
