Another year is about to end.
Christmas Day came and left so fast. The days after Christmas always feels gloomy. And I still haven't found my favorite Christmas CD in the house. Better luck next year perhaps?
Today was another dull Saturday at work. As usual I was at my desk drinking some warm coffee while working. Can't work without snacks, can I?
Only a few more days and it's 2010. I hope it will be a year of better luck for me and for my loved ones.

December 13, 2009...

Another unholy day at work. My assistant was off today so I had to handle my tasks alone.
It was raining for the whole day today. As usual the lower areas of the city have been flooded. Fortunately it's not as bad as the flood last year. I was worried about my car's engine dying from getting soaked. Fortunately I was able to drive home safely.
Driving in the rain has a lot of handicaps especially at night. For one thing, it's hard to see the side mirrors because both the windows and the mirrors are wet. And it's dangerous to drive fast in the rain since the tires can't grip wet asphalt.
On the bright side, you get a free car wash during rainy days. And the wet roads slow down tire wear. It makes me wonder how much life my tires still have before swapping them.
According to the online weather forecast it will stop raining tomorrow. If the sun does come out, I'll probably go for a solo joyride since it's my day off tomorrow.


For the past few years I've always wanted to have a customized/personalized car. But now I realize the importance of the stock visual appearance. It's actually camouflage.
If you're driving a car equipped with your choice of visual upgrades/accessories, people will recognize it anywhere... especially your enemies and the cops! With the stock appearance, on the other hand, people won't know it's your car unless they see you driving it. And of course your plate number is what identifies you on the road.
So from here on, the car stays the way it is. Though a new set of tires won't hurt. And, if possible, I hope I can equip it with a better suspension kit.
