Volkswagen Beetle
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
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!
Bullrun
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…

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.

The Water is Wide
One of the few songs that I love to listen to is the song “The Water is Wide/Deep River” as sung by Barbara Streisand. Click here to listen to her sing. The song has a relation to my entry, in terms of its lyrics, and NOT its interpretation.
Below is a photo of a river whose bed rose because of the sand deposits from the lahar flows as aftermath of the Mount Pinatubo eruption which happened in the early 1990s, after being dormant for 500 years.
Click here to read about its effect.
The Macolcol River was not a wide river before the volcanic eruption but it became so due to the forces of nature that men can not stop. The water has stopped flowing too. To think this river suffered only minor damage compared to other river system just shows how nature is really a force to reckon with.
Pardon the photo quality because we were in transit when I took a snapshot while on the new and taller bridge crossing the river:
The river is not flowing anymore, except maybe during typhoon season. It looks like a wide expanse of white desert with pine trees on either side and the mountains as its backdrop.
I wonder if Pomegranate trees will survive here?
The water should flow towards the sea, though I have not seen that happen in a long time.
photohuntMatchbox Ford GT
Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is METAL.
One of my son’s newer addition to his toy collection, a Matchbox Ford GT toy car. He doesn’t really get this brand since he likes another toy brand more than this but he could not resist not having a Ford GT. Who wouldn’t?
Matchbox toy cars, like the other toy cars being sold like this Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X which is my other entry, are made of die-cast metal
Here is a real Ford GT, my very first Photo Hunt entry, if I remember it right.
