karting and scrat(ty)
above are the cute little tykes (that means the big guy is not included, hehe) and
below is the track in city kart=)
i am a bad driver actually i think i am the worst. i destroyed p’s clutch because my feet are so heavy and i drive d crazy because i always forget to use the brakes even if i’m going too fast already. knowing that i thought it was not a good idea to try karting. i was scared but being a danica patrick fan i was also excited and then the race was on, actually it was just me and c (and we’re both first timers) so it was not exactly a race. i didn’t do anything right in the first two laps: i was not holding the steering wheel properly and i kept pressing the brakes and accelerator together so it was no surprise that i was stopped by the track manager on my first lap and then bumped on the sides of the bridge on my second lap. thankfully i learned from my mistakes and my time improved in the succeeding laps but even if i started clocking well i got so frustrated because i still fear going too fast and i’d hate it that i seem to always not get the timing to slow down. still nothing beats the first time so i was on a total high afterwards. i think karting is another sport i can add to my list so i will go back to the tracks again...soon (and not even getting lost and those skyway patrol guys can stop me)!
another high point of the past few days was the ice age 2 premiere. i think the work part was not so good but i’m still learning the ropes so go easy on me please (wink) but watching the movie with p and his cute little nephews sonson and tantan was such a memorable experience! these two kids are two of the sweetest and smartest kids i’ve ever met (not to mention behaved or are they just scared of their uncle? hehe)…now i miss my pamangkins, awww…i hope they are doing well because that’s all auntie can do - wish them well.
there’s gotta be a low point somewhere and that would be one of my closest friends leaving for singapore. i can’t help but cry as i hugged her after the surprise despedida. i am happy for her but it’s just really different and there will always be that weird sadness when a person close to you leaves even it’s for a good reason and even if you know they are coming back. please welcome your sentimental fool, i’ll miss you e but as i said ROCK their world!
