This is probably one of the event/activity that me and my siblings attend to. Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2014 take place for the first time in Manila, Philippines.  "Shell Eco-marathon challenges student teams from around the world to design, build and test ultra energy-efficient vehicles. With annual events first in the Americas, then Europe and Asia, the winners are the teams that go the furthest using the least amount of energy. The events spark debate about the future of mobility and inspire young engineers to push the boundaries of fuel efficiency." (shell.com)







It was an awesome experience. I am really not into cars. I don't know anything about the engine. If the looks look good then its good for me. Nothing more, nothing less. I do enjoy watching Fast and Furious and playing racing but that's it. This shell eco-marathon evolves my liking to cars, though.

My brother is the main reason why we go here. Honestly, me and sister(who happens to be working at shell as finance analyst) planned already to be going here since last January. But we feel lazy to still go til my younger brother told us that he wanted to join us and by that making it possible for us to agree. Minsan lang sumama ang mga kapatid kong lalaki sa mga gantong lakad. My younger brother's first love is engine, or at least anything in relation with mechanics. When we were still young, grade school to narrow it down, he really wanted to be one, a mechanic. He will build his own small cars or even make a fan out of pieces of junks on my dad's toolbox. As he enter college, he's decided what to take up, Mechanical Engineering on this institute. But he decided to enroll on another school, in my school, but sadly, there's no ME in our school which frustrates him the most. Anyway, he's already graduate from he's degree BS ECE. But he's liking to mechanics never fades off.

Unexpected things do happen always. And this is one of those. Team Friday haven't got any luck having a summer getaway last summer for so many reasons I won't elaborate more. We, of course, understand each of those. Anyway, kind-heart Yang, whose one of my good friends ever since we were born (haha!) invite us to their outing with his Family whom actually act as our 2nd family already. It's Tita Cora's birthday and they will be celebrating it at the beach, it's at Ocean View Beach Resort Subic. We leave night before and of course we didn't leave without drinking so much tequila and colt 45! haha! We are that drinkers you know! SO anyway, here are the sets of photos from that getaway!

I've mentioned about my other posts that we went to La Union because our Grand Mother just died. The last time I saw her was like 2-3 years ago. She's so ill but the plan on visiting her always postponed because of my everyday class at school and ate's hard time at the office since travelling from here (Bulacan) to La Union will take us almost 8 hours. We make it a point that by October we'll visit her no matter what. But before the month reach October she dies last September 24 and we are all shock about the news.

My lola is my daddy's mother, she's with us since we were young and the one my Parents leaves us to take care of us when they were at work. I remember when my lola will always massage my feet because it's the only way that I'll be put to sleep every night. Then I get used to that not until we grow up and she decided to go back to La Union.

I really can't remember the time when and how old I am since I last visit my dad's hometown, maybe that's too long ago that I really can't remember. So going there knowing what lies ahead, is kinda heart-breaking. I always thought on our way there that kung hindi pa namatay si lola hindi kami makakapunta, but there ar e so many reasons behind it, I know it sounds so silly to argue about it that no matter what we should find time on going there. 

Our trip to La Union is not only heart-breaking but somewhat a bit fear in us, there's this typhoon I think its Pedring the one before Quiel that really is so strong and can blown us away but it doesn't stop us to still go, we leave our house 2 in the morning of 27th of September and arrives there at 2 in the afternoon, the trip were full of sleep, really, because I wasn't able to have a good sleep so that almost half a day of travel gives me time to sleep. There are some accident that we see, like a big tree falling on a tricicle and too many flooded areas. I wonder how we really pull through the rest on getting there.

We just stay there for only one day, I need to go back to school and ate on her work. We don't stay until libing but my Parents are on their way there, my dad who happen to work abroad filed immediately a memo for his leave. On our way home there is this awesome Church that I wanted to visit, we pass by it nung papunta kami and I'm wondering if we can drop by, my ate at the same time wants too. We both share same thing a heart on wonderful structure of Church especially those historical places. I really not intended to take any pictures on my lola's lamay but I can't help taking pictures of this very wonderful Church.














It is my first time to visit this Church, though some signs I don't understand since its written in ilokano. It's nice to be back here though on a very sad occasion.
