NU 107

My bro, gave me the news - that my favorite radio station in the philippines today bids farewell to all its rock listeners. I can't believe it. This is a sad day for me. Besides, having pests, i mean guests in the house, having brai, and singing worship songs (doing fellowship on a sunday evening- kinda late actually) christian wannabees, just can't get enough of a good thing. My wife loves visitors, yeah she's a people-person, and can throw away 1.5kg of chicken (to be eaten by people she doesn't know.) thats what friends are for.
And now, the home of new rock is closing. I remember, it was valentine's day of 2004. I was a guest at their show called "between planets" - yes, i was interviewed by dj mondo castro. I am live, on air - and played some of my stuff (mostly new wave) to start the show, I put on Nick heyward's "love all day " - because it was feb. 14. My mom's birthday, i've greeted all of my folks in bulacan. They were glued to the station. Waiting to hear my voice. Thanks to my wavelength friends, for bringing me in Nu 107, as a special guest that night. It was great. Many thanks NU 107, for bringing programs like (the nu rockphiles, modern rock sunday, the groove nation sessions, club retro) new wave music that says something to me and about my life. Thanks for the memories. Now, i'm 31.
I'm so much sad, tomorrow is work day again. And the visitors are stil here, damn it. Its 8pm now. Get a grip folkers, if u want to praise and worship - go to the church in the mornings, and don't disturb your neighbors. You're annoying now, not entertaining. Love your neighbor, as you love yourself -
goodnight.

Sirion

Time flies, and it has been a year now, since i bought my daihatsu sirion. I think these 2 websites help me find this car.
Www.cars4sale.co.za
www.carfind.co.za

besides, from the sirion. Here's my other top picks of 2009.
1. Proton Savvy 1.2
2. Renault Twingo
3. Daihatsu charade celeb
4. Citroën C2 (but no automatic transmission available)
5. Daihatsu YRV
6. Chery QQ3 (from china. Yay!)
7. Honda Jazz
8. Kia Soul
9. Toyota Yaris T3 spirit
10. Nissan Micra

Pluriel

This is the citroën c3 Pluriel with a semi-automatic gearbox. Triptronic 1.6l engine. I think its a limited edition 2004. The mileage: 99thou plus. Price: R69900. Its fullhouse. Nice looking car. Very unique and, rare - to be seen on the roads. Individuality, at its finest. One of the best used cars i have seen this year. If only market car sales, would give us a better deal with this car. Surely, we'll take it.

Have myself a merry smartphone christmas

The yuletide season is coming. And the battle of smartphones is uprising. I can't decide which phone is right for me. iPhone 4 - this changes everything. Or the world's first phone sculpted from a solid piece of aluminum, the HTC Legend. I Liked the concepts of both phones. Prices are sharp and stiff. Appearances , both are cool and like swiss thins. Its hard to decide. Watch this space...

At the Johannesburg Zoo

Its a saturday. I took half day work (overtime) and by no means, I ended up in the zoo. As usual, I just tagged along with friends. Not much of an outdoor type, your blogger is. The Joburg Zoo, is quite big, a half-day isn't enough to tour the whole ground. Here are Some of my encounters in this jungle:
1. Scimitars
2. Peacocks
3. Elephants
4. African buffalos
5. Caracas
6. Monkeys (lots of them)
7. Aardwolf
8. Zebra
9. Giraffe
10. African wild pigs
11. Crocodiles
12. Ostrich
13. White lions
well, there's more, but my wife's tired of walking around haha! This zoo is very organized, well kept. And offers rides for recreation, an open park field for picnics. Entrance is R50. Shisas!

Milk Stout

I loved this dark beer from south africa. The castle milk stout. I tried mixing it with vanilla bar one ice cream, about 2weeks ago. While watching the live dvd of Big Country. It was a nasty mix float. Pls. Don't try it. Otherwise, you'll end up in the toilet.
