like some famous good actors

September 28, 2009

I like cars. I like looking at them and dreaming of having and driving the best of them. Imagine the sleek design. Imagine the speed. For now, I have to satisfy myself with my collection.

When I’m on the road, if not my mind, my eyes wander. Often, sports cars and other luxury cars catch my attention. They shine like a star in the night. They look so precious, I stay away from them. It’s big trouble to even cause a scratch to them. Unfortunately, there are very few types of cars here. Most are Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Honda. Some of their better cars are not available here in the Philippines. From what I have heard, import taxes are so expensive that even the rich are discouraged to import a car. And of course, with our struggling economy, the country is not a marketable country for cars. I hope in the future we’d have a booming economy and a wealthy car industry. So for now, equipped with my old Canon camera, I contend with posing besides beautiful sports cars I see in the street, like they are some famous good actors.

As for me, I have always liked the Ferrari. But if I get to choose which car I’d really like to have, hmmm, I’d say Lamborghini.

no ID, no entry

I have always had troubles with ID. Yes, ID cards. I just hate wearing them.

I am not particularly a shy person. I have outgrown shyness. I might appear on direct tv, and it would not matter much to me. I can even sing in front of a crowd I barely know (heck, even on direct satellite tv), and I would be unconcerned with what they would say about my out-of-tune voice. Maybe I can even dance with people on direct tv satellite, and I would not mind what they would think about my incorrigible lack of dancing skill.

BUT I do not like people looking at my ID. Really, I do not know why I do not like wearing an ID for all people to see my name and my frowning ID picture. I do not know exactly why. Problem with authority?

When I was in elementary, my adviser sent me out of the classroom for not wearing an ID for the nth time. In high school, I literally climbed the wall to get inside the school because of the “No ID, No Entry” policy. In college, well, I have not much need for ID (mabuhay ang UP!). In the office, I have several encounters with persons in “authority”. In law school, I still do not wear an ID. But at least I have it now in my purse. I do not want miss anything just because of the ID.

I know ID is for some good purpose. But I feel “tied” when I wear it. I’d do anything to get away with it. haha.
