Confetti falling from the roof adds up to the excitement of events and gatherings, especially during ceremonial toasts, congratulatory portion and awarding of grand prizes.
Of course, this could be a bit of a problem during toasts.
When we went to the opening ceremony of the recently concluded Manila International Auto Show, some of the confetti from the roof looked like loose diamonds, according to my daughter who was watching from a distance.
Well, if that’s the case, I would be the first to catch a few 😀

Our son loves playing racing games and watching racing sports. Currently his favorite is the first season of the Bullrun Season 1 which he watches on DVD. He watched the whole season twice already 😉
So when we were having our Memory Drill games yesterday with two of my students, I was surprised he misspelled “Daytona” when he himself associated the word/place with “Nascar” (yes, where we see those Nascar jackets with a lot of colorful logos) when one of the boys he was having the drills with asked what Daytona is. (The word in the drill was Dayton, actually)
Frankly, I was disappointed when all of them misspelled Daytona since this is one of the racing games they can see in the arcades.
When I reminded them that they all said “Ay, tama!” (That’s right!) Yeah right 😀

Bulky Challenger Tube Cars here in this entry.
Do you know what this sign means?
Yes, it is a Volkswagen emblem on a Beetle that has no photo of the body, boooo to me 😀
Bulky, yes it is and it can seat a lot of people inside especially when one sits on another’s lap since it has a tall roof. Its true! I’ve seen that on TV for what car can seat the most number of people inside and if what I remember is right, the VW Beetle won 😉
Fast cars. My children love these: car shows, racing games, and car toys. They do not settle for those mind-boggling/out-of-this-world designs but instead opt for real car designs.
Can you name the make (and if you are good with these, model) of these cars? Except the last two on the bottom of course 😀
Great weekend to y’all!

Been busy yesterday afternoon and last night watching a DVD of Bullrun, as I have Plurked this morning which of course can’t be seen since I have my time line set to private.
Anyway, in my Plurk thread, I wrote this about the team BMW M3 that I was rooting for:
been keeping myself busy: am watching Bullrun, a reality show car race from Montana to Mexico. There was a Filipino contestant (not so sure) there who…
who had to forfeit their place to another team because they have to go home since an uncle died. Before he left the show, he said that…

“Money is not everything” He was even wearing a Noli me Tangere* shirt then. To you, I say   and  |

Bullrun is exciting. That my son refused to sleep and wanted to finish the whole series could attest to the excitement of the series. Or maybe he really is just really into cars.
The car he was rooting, a Nissan 240SX retired early from the game. I wonder if it was using a supercharger because it was so powerful! It just so happened they weren’t able to fix the car on-site.
*Noli Me Tangere is a novel written by the country’s national hero, Jose Rizal.
