Jazzing Up My TOYOTA!

Saturday, April 24, 2010


I have been contemplating on purchasing another truck or car these days because I am in dire need of something that would be able to outperform my old one from MITSUBISHI. The old one however has been very dependable on out of town trips and can accommodate big bodied passengers like my family where almost everyone is over 200 pounds. One important criterion even then was legroom and its look. I don t really settle for the ordinary stock car and I try my best to make it more adept to the trend most customization shops do. I plan to get a TOYOTA CAMRY so I have something to use if I m going out at night. Toyota accessories will be a priority so I could begin to jazz it up. I would not want it to look like the stock cars of course! It will show up in one of our conversations over dinner and I m sure my brother would hate it if I did not do it. It is a little urgent too because I need it for work and my hobby of photography. It’s just that our house is a little cramped because of the vehicles we have parked inside. We might need to tear down the room downstairs so we have ample amount of car parking space. The location where I live unfortunately has some problem with security. My Uncle just a few months ago lost his pick up truck and has never been seen until now. He got a new one and it’s a TOYOTA too. I would gladly buy him accessories from on line stores like CARID.COM so at least he has something to be thankful about that incident.

I would really love getting this new ride as soon as I get my hands on my annual bonus. I’ll dedicate a whole day for that too! I'm going to start looking for that TOYOTA now!

Greece is Dying


I am a little hesitant to talk about this but the President of Greece Papadou just announced that their country needs serious loans from the IMF to get back into the market. They will be sourcing these funds from Germany but their Chancellor is quite on a setback because she has not seen any strong plan how to get back in its original state. Right now they are showing no signs of recovery and their government is not that optimistic too. Riots of all forms happened in their capital and even the President got onto a remote island to announce them giving up on the government's ability to continue operations.

The problem is, there is quite a huge amount of history in that location that I wouldn't be able to see. Why did they join the EU in the first place?! Their currency did not handle it well obviously. Now comes the rescue plan that never even convinced the one who will loan them the money. I wonder if they would be able to look at themselves a few years from now. Even the labor force are protesting because pretty sure IMF will tell its corporations to cut down on wages. When will this happen?! That is the question that the current regime will have to answer to.

Making My Ride Better!

Friday, April 23, 2010


I like my ride a lot; but there are better options out in the market that has kept me thinking to get a new one. The diesel powered engine and twin batteries are not helping too. I spend around double just for maintenance sometimes and what made me want to change my mind about it are the countless times the truck has failed me. Then again I should have had a different point of view since I am not an expert when it comes to cars and trucks. I just know how to make them look good in the long run. It was just like the time when I needed something to bring our things over to the south of Manila; I had to wait for our van to have a ladder rack installed because the ordinary trunk was not that sufficient anymore. After that it was easier for me to get things moved even without the help of professional movers. That saved me a lot of money and made my truck more efficient for everyday travel.

For the things I got for the truck, I try my best to get them locally but if I can't and I'm in a hurry I go to on line stores that could supply me with the best door handles which are all made of chrome, billet fuel doors and grilles. It is becoming a little addictive to jazz up my ride and if ever I need to consult places to get it the site has it all!

New Lizard Species in the Philippines

Thursday, April 22, 2010


Wow just wow! I was really amazed at what was actually found in the Sierra Madre Mountains in the island of Luzon. This is actually just like the Komodo Dragon that is found in Indonesia but the difference is... it doesn't eat meat or dead carcasses, it eats fruits and veggies. Some sort of a vegetarian dragon hahah.

The Komodo lives on volcano slopes and finds dead things to eat but this one chooses to be healthy and slim. Although I don't know why in the world it is about 6.5 feet in length.. taller than I am HUWAAAAT!!!

Numbers of these species is unknown and the Philippines has no data about it. This just got filed in France and they said it is very endangered. People in that area actually consume this for their food, they might lose this one forever if some sort of conservation plans do not step in. I'm sure these are the ones who bite and crawl if attacked so make sure we all make an effort to protect it while protecting ourselves. Please do not eat BAYAWAK anymore for cryin out loud! We are not cavemen!
