Sebatian Vettel Formula One 2010 World Champion

Congratulations Sebastian Vettel, Formula One Grand Prix 2010 World Champion.

“Sebastian Vettel drove a masterful race to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and lift his maiden Formula 1 world title.

The 23-year-old Red Bull driver was third in the standings but led from pole and saw other results go his way to become the youngest champion.” – David Ornstein, BBC

Formula One is my hubby’s super favorite motor-sports show, and MotoGP comes next, if I’m not mistaken.

The son is in the same mold for he religiously watches the races, even if it means he will wake up a little after midnight to watch some races live. The son roots for a different driver though, Nico Rosberg while I like Fernando Alonso. Formula One drivers, some even younger than Sebastian Vettel, are very dedicated, hardworking and determined to make their way to the top. I have to tell him that he can be a winner too, in whatever field he wants to be, if he has dedication, passion, hard work and determination.

Not Made in Japan

It takes a lot to impress my husband to like a car that does not carry the brand and performance of cars that he has favored. So it was a surprise to learn he was reading a site on a car that would probably rank way down should he make a list of cars he like down to the cars that he doesn’t like.

And all this because he rode in a cab that has that brand and make which impressed him, which usually won’t given another circumstance.

Yeah, and he talked about the monthly terms he read. He read the manufacturer’s site and some other blogs related to the car brand.

I told him I have a former classmate who sells this brand which, incidentally, is not made in Japan. He mumbled something I didn’t understand and I didn’t ask what it was.

But if it was me, I’d say no, we are not ready for a purchase like this yet.

Nagmo-Motorsiklo Ka Ba?

Ang disiplina o ang kawalan nito.

quirino highway

Isang pamilyang nakasakay sa motor sa matrapik na Quirino Highway. Dalawang bata lang naman sa sa pagitan ng dalawang matanda. Bakit di pa kaya ginawang tatlo o kaya apat at nang mukhang habal-habal na sila? Bonding nga ito pero naman…

elbow helmet

Helmet. Para sa siko ng ating bidang nagmo-motor na may backride (na may dalang banderang pang-kampanya). Oo nga naman, baka magasgas ang siko kung sakali may mangyari. Tsaka sa EDSA lang naman ito, sisiw lang ang biyahe.

Di man mabilis ang takbo, para sa akin, reckless driving pa din ito, kumontra man ang iba sa akin. Basta, nakakatakot ang ginagawa ng ibang nagmo-motor.

Ang disiplina o kawalan nito. Bow.
