Naalala ko yung kwento ni Shadow dun sa nakita niya sa True Value dati. Binebenta na kaya nila yung LC200 at BMW nila?

Hey... S&R has really good pizza, only 99 bucks for a slice of pizza bigger than a "family sized" Greenwich Pizza. Tastes ten times better, too.

...also, soft drinks are 1.25 cheaper at S&R.

... but when they ran out of the Lifetime tables we buy for our canteen and dorm, we went to Puregold down the street to see if they still had stock. Same-same lang naman young company... mas sosy lang dating and "S&R" na pangalan.

Legendary diesel engines? Like the one in my Isuzu Crosswind that's nearly 250,000 kilometers old and still runs perfectly well despite being beaten half-to-death and driven through two typhoon floods?

You can inquire about a brand new Crosswind XUVi with amazing turbo power at your nearest Isuzu dealer, today! Like my status on Facebook!

Yeah, and at P 500+ for a box, not bad. I also pass by the tire section to get high on the smell of fresh tires before heading out. :D

You should have a weekly column where you can devote one paragraph to Isuzu on a regular basis. ;)

BTW, if you wanna be pa-sosy don't forget to pose your yearly "Bora" sojourn on FB.

Yan ang winner. Ultimo airport tags di tinatanggal.

Dapat tinabihan mo siya at nagtanong sa sales clerk, "You have seatcover for my SiR? Sabay tingin ka sa kanya: "Prestige yo."

Ah... vactation pics. Sometimes it actually does make me feel bad to see people posting their Bora trips online... I haven't been back there since after our daughter was born. But we don't spend for big vacations. We don't get credit cards. Most of our excess money goes to construction. We may not be living the high life now, but we're thinking about what we're going to leave our kids. IMHO, more important than splurging on an island-hopping spree every six or seven months.

Airport tags... haha... guilty! When I was a kid, I would leave the tags on my backpacks after coming back from the airport. Not really to show off, though... but because I was too freaking lazy to take them off.

Super jologs siguro yung dating... Carrying a backpack with airport tags on the jeepney while making da sabit-sabit on Taft...

Working on it. Hard to find out who to talk to. I really DO want to get an Isuzu test vehicle... thinking a 4JA1T D-Max might be something nice to review. Tough, rugged, but with a relatively modern chassis. (Super OT).

Which is the proper way to build things. Tiyaga lang yan now and later on you reap the benefits and sometimes it does come sooner than you can expect it.

Puerto kami kahapon dude pare pards... Puerto Azul. :D

Yeah, just by seeing the crowds at Boracay over the summer, you can pretty much tell it's very, very accessible to almost everyone whether it be by bus or by air.
