A scarlet car won the Shanghai leg of the F1 Grand Prix... the other one. Props to Rubens Barrichello for winning his 2nd in a row. Michael Schumacher looked like a mere mortal, getting a tire puncture, colliding with a Jaguar (with Christian Klien unable to continue, tsk tsk), and uncharacteristically spinning out. He finished 12th. My man Jenson Button finished 2nd, fortifying his 3rd

Some news ahead of the inaugural Shanghai Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend. Earlier this week, Fiat-owned Jaguar have said that they will not be participating in F1 beyond this season. Jaguar driver Mark Webber has already been pencilled into BMW Williams driver lineup for next season while co-driver Christian Klien's future is still up in the air. Also, with the impending sale of engine

Ey yo... not so close to the monitor... you never know what you might get from me... Oh alright. It's actually been a week since I've been well but I'm just being cautious. You can never be too careful, you know... better safe than harmful, este.. sorry. I was on leave the entire week last week 'cause I got sore eyes. I was the last in the household to get it.

Much props to Rubens Barrichello of Ferrari for finally winning one this season at the Monza, Italy leg of the 2004 F1 season. It was a nice win on homeground for Ferrari, and refreshing since it wasn't won by a Schumacher. Incidentally, Schumi finished second after spinning out on the opening laps second chicane, and furiously fought back from what seemed like 16th place. Wala... mahusay talaga.

Dang... it's September 16.. that means I've been working here for 13 years. Is that good or bad? Gotta be honest, though. I'm a bit tired of the atmosphere... maybe 13 is a good place to stop. Bahala na...

And oh... it was quite a showcase... no, not the US men's team made up of NBA pros... the rest of the world played much better, actually. The US only got the bronze after being eliminated (and severely outplayed) from the gold medal game by eventual gold medal winners Argentina.

After a race win in Hungary gave Ferrari the year's constructor's championship and a second place finish in Belgium, Michael Schumacher of Ferrari just captured a record 7th drivers world championship. Wow... You gotta give it to him, he may not have that much quality opposition, but he crushes everyone, anyway. Props to McLaren Mercedes' Kimi Raikkonen for the win in Spa, he really gave it

Before anyone gets any bright ideas, let me explain... I've been playing since I was 13 and have always been a fan of music, having been raised on FM radio (besides Reader's Digest and Sesame Street). I love every kind of music, every genre, but I've always found that I'm partial to anything which touches on rock. I'd been listening to radio all my school life, but hardly found time when I

A lot things have been said about this Athens Olympics Dream Team; how they're too young and inexperienced, how they got clotheslined by Italy and needed a buzzer-beater to beat Germany in pre-Olympic exhibition matches (considering both countrys aren't the strongest opposition in international play). But I'm reserving comment until the Games start this Friday. Last Olympics in Sydney, I

Bad trip... most of the ideas I have that I want to post to the blogs come to me at the most inconvenient time... while I'm on the road. I've been trying to configure my blog to accept posts from my cellphone pero di pa umuubra. I hope someone else has got this working... surf, surf, surf...

Wow... I just learned that R&B artist Javier is going to be in Manila. Ok, so he has just one hit so far ("Crazy") but it's the kind of song you'd be willing to sit through an entire 30 to 45 minute set just to hear him perform it at the end. So if I don't have anything lined up Friday, August 20, I might be at the Greenbelt 3 fountain area at 8pm that night.

Jenson Button just signed with BMW Williams for '05.. not sure if that's good or bad given this year's engine performance of the Williams, but he'll be teaming up with another brilliant driver, Australian Mark Webber moving over from Jaguar. Who's up to replace him at BAR Honda? Schumacher fans may not like hearing this... MIKA HAKKINEN :p the only man skill-wise who can really challenge Schumi,

During my last pipeline meeting with our CEO, I was told that they were planning on making me a Solutions Architect. He gave me a brief (read: freaking vague) description of what it is, but given my boss' severe deficiency syndrome with anything technical, I sat there thinking, "uhm... solutions WHAT?" His explanation ran against my perception of the job description like a buzzsaw cutting

Well, what did you expect? Schumacher won. But it was my man Jenson Button's gutsy drive for second place which was the main story. Driving the race's last few laps with a loose neck strap on his helmet, he had to drive one-handed for the rest of the race because he was choking and couldn't breathe. I'm impressed. It's on to Hungary for the next race after the summer 3-week break!

Been getting in touch with some old high school and college friends of mine. I've been 13 years removed from school and I've been working for that long as well. Wish I could afford a break somehow.
