Today is our fifth company anniversary so the boss decided that we take the day off and meet in the office tomorrow night for the celebration party. So since I won’t be doing anything this day, I went with my friend to some car dealers to look for the best (and cheapest) car for me.

I have been planning to buy my own car since always. The car I have now was from my aunt for my eighteenth birthday. The problem is, it is already old (too old) and it costs a lot to maintain, not to mention it literally spits out gasoline.

We saw this great store selling pre-owned European and German cars, some BMW’s, Ferrari’s, Porche’s and Volk’s. I could not believe that the cars were already used because they are in perfect condition. Looking around I asked what the pro’s and con’s of some brands. The sales guy gladly gave me some tips. One tip I learned is that, Ferrari parts are the hardest to find. It is because some parts are handcrafted unlike the Japanese cars in which parts are robot manufactured. He also said that German cars are not very efficient in gas and this is where Japanese cars excel.

Unfortunately, even the cheapest pre-owned car is still very expensive for me. Or maybe I’m just too cheap. Haha. So we went to other car dealers to look for more. I’m not in a rush anyway.

If you’re a fan of DSLR’s, and if you’ve got one, you probably have tons of digital pictures by now just like me. Since I bought my Nikon D80 last year, I could not stop taking pictures of anything and everything. I’m not a pro yet, but I think the photos I took were great. And so I ended up filling my hard drive with lots and lots of pictures.

The problem is, I only use the hard drive as storage. Whenever I want to view the pictures, I need to plug in my hard drive to the USB port. That’s okay but what if I wanted to share the pictures to my friends abroad? There’s no way I’m sending my portable drives abroad. I have already tried flicker, photobucket, and similar photo server sites but they don’t seem to support large files especially those in RAW format.

So I have decided to try out online backup services. This way, I have a large storage space that I can access wherever whenever, and won’t have to worry about my files accidentally being deleted. It’s hassle free too for my friends abroad. All they need is an internet connection! Ingenious! hahaha.

Hi! I was laughing my heart out just now because of the news I heard from Julia. She was the one who crashed her car to mine last new year’s eve and she messaged me that her car was towed because it was not able to start. Hahahaha.

Seriously though, one time back in college, my Mazda was towed and impounded for illegal overnight parking on a business area. My transmission was damaged because it was an automatic and the towing crew did not even care. After that incident, I became a member of motorhome towing. This team will be contacted if ever I need towing when my car breaks down in the middle of the road or something like that. This way I can protect my investment against negligence from government towing agencies.

Anyhow, going back to my story. It’s unbelievable that this is happening. It is like instant Karma for her! woot! ;p

Hey! Happy new year to all of you guys! I hope you enjoyed the new year’s celebration as much as I did. Actually, my head still hurts so much because of the booze last night. Anyhow, the party was unexpected. We had our family reunion last night but my friends suddenly came along so there was an after party party with the gang.

Unfortunately, I also got a bang from the new year. One of my friends, drunk, accidentally crashed her car on my rear bumper. Fortunately, my pickup still covered by that three-year comprehensive insurance. I’m on my last year though, so I’ll be getting a cheap auto insurance soon. Anyway, I know it was not her fault anyway ‘coz it was me who forced her to drink. hehe.
