gold
I want to hear something new... something real.
Look at this life sraight in the eye and somehow, feel that the world is a fallacy of everything that the people from the institute have been teaching. Should be ashamed of themselves - depicting a "would-be'"perfect world that cannot happen. Admit it.
Admit.
Give me something new... something real.
People are like machines programmed to obey higher authority. Work is a perfect place to see this. Employees work there brains out because it was ordered by the supervisor, which came from the client's demands, which in turn came from the demands of the customers, which... and the list goes on and on. Hmmm... Maybe there is a God.
Show me something real... tangible.
The mind plays tricks always. Most of the time, it tricks everyone. Time. How can the mind perceive time, I ask. The answer, the mind made some smart ass guy to count 1 to 12 in a circular way and named it, clock. Thus, we have a concept of something seemingly untangible like time. Wanna hear about love? Maybe next time.

Tired of seeing Reality... need something real.


27th-Mar-2009 08:02 am - F1 Brawn GP is for REAL!!!
gold
I was watching the Friday practice session for the 2009 season opener F1 Australian GP and WOW! Amazing performance by the rear-diffuser car club of Williams, Toyota, and Brawn GP!!!

Brawn GP showed that they are worthy of joining the F1 pack even without sponsors! The livery did not have the stickers at all but hell, they were fast! I don't want to assume but it may be a different 2009 season after all.

Looking at the time sheets, it's a totally different set of cars on the front!
Here is the official time sheets for practice session 2:

01. Rosberg Williams 1:26.053 36 laps
02. Barrichello Brawn 1:26.157 38 laps
03. Trulli Toyota 1:26.350 42 laps
04. Webber Red Bull 1:26.370 30 laps
05. Button Brawn 1:26.374 38 laps
06. Glock Toyota 1:26.443 42 laps
07. Nakajima William 1:26.560 33 laps
08. Vettel Red Bull 1:26.740 19 laps
09. Sutil Force India 1:27.040 29 laps
10. Massa Ferrari 1:27.064 35 laps
11. Raikkonen Ferrari 1:27.204 32 laps
12. Alonso Renault 1:27.232 28 laps
13. Fisichella Force India 1:27.282 32 laps
14. Heidfeld BMW 1:27.317 34 laps
15. Kubica BMW 1:27.398 36 laps
16. Bourdais Toro Rosso 1:27.479 36 laps
17. Kovalainen McLaren 1:27.802 35 laps
18. Hamilton McLaren 1:27.81 31 laps
19. Piquet Renault 1:27.828 35 laps
20. Buemi Toro Rosso 1:28.076 33 laps


This only goes to show how much the car's set up is important for the driver to drive well! It's not 100% driver or car alone... Look at Adrian Sutil in the Force India!!! hahaha! sweet!
I just hope Ferrari and Renault get back to the pace. But... let's leave McLaren to where they are right now. It's good to hear the engines rev up again... music to the ears. Cheers!


7th-Mar-2009 03:03 pm - Silence
gold
I am in the office and the silence is unusually relaxing... I can only here myself typing and a few mouse clicks here and there. Tell me, how can silence mean so much?

And it just came to me that being succumbed to silence for more than a minute can feel a lifetime of loneliness and endless flow of thoughts... Is that how impatient people are nowadays that it takes so much of themselves when they are idle? Well, that means I am one of those people too because I felt that way. But thinking out of the box... In a world where everything has to move to be "productive"... I say, "Fuck that". Silence is the IN thing today. Try it and there's a high probability that you'll go to sleep...

If you are still reading up until here, congratulations... you just read one of the non-sensible mumblings of my mind. But hey, at least you got to "see" and "read" what was going through my idiotic mind even for just a few minutes.

This only means I have to sleep now... Thanks!

When someone from work, who you do not see everyday, who you do not really know at all, just gives you stress because of pure irresponsibility and apathy... I listen to THIS!!! Just imagine running over that mother fucker makes my day better! Nothing personal though... Cheers!

guide from www.Formula1.com

Tyres [para mas maraming aksidente kapag umulan]
After 10 seasons on grooved tyres, Formula One racing returns to slicks in 2009, as part of moves to increase the emphasis on mechanical rather than aerodynamic grip.

KERS [kumbaga parang NOS ng mga dragger sa Fast and Furious]
From 2009 teams have the option of employing a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) to boost their car’s performance. As its name implies, a KERS recovers the (normally wasted) kinetic energy generated by the car’s braking process. This energy is stored using a mechanical flywheel or an electrical battery and then made available to the driver, in set amounts per lap, via a ‘boost button’ on the steering wheel.

Engines [para mas lalong mahirapan mga driver na balahura]
In a move designed to boost reliability still further, drivers must now use the same engine for three, rather than two, consecutive events. There are also plans for measures to equalise engine performance between teams. How this will be achieved has not yet been finalised.

Aerodynamics
Along with slick tyres, this is the biggest area of change for 2009. Downforce will be dramatically reduced and the cars’ bodywork will appear much cleaner, thanks to new dimensional regulations that effectively outlaw extraneous items such as barge boards, winglets, turning vanes and chimneys.

The front wing becomes lower (75mm from 150mm) and wider (up from 1400 to 1800mm - the same width as the car) with driver-adjustable flaps. Drivers will be allowed to make two wing adjustments per lap, altering the wing angle over a six-degree range. [para madagdagan ang trabaho ng mga drayber ng F1 at sulit ang bayad sa kanila]

The rear wing becomes taller (up 150mm to bring it level with the top of the engine cover) and narrower (750mm from 1000mm). [para pangit yung likod ng kotse hehe]

Also at the back of the car, the diffuser has been moved rearwards, its leading edge now level with (rather than ahead of) the rear-wheel axle line. In addition, the diffuser has been made longer and higher, all changes that will reduce its ability to generate downforce.[para hindi iwanan ng Ferrari at BMW yung mga nasa likod]

Testing [para hindi masyadong makapag-develop ang mayayaman na F1 cars]
2008’s testing allowance of 30,000 kilometres is expected to be slashed by a third to 20,000 in a bid to further reduce development costs.

I was surfing google when I came across the concept of Time Traveling after watching the movie, Donnie Darko. I came to encounter the word, predestination paradox.I got interested with the word and the concept of time travel which made me read on and on about it.

One of the examples of Time Travel was this game that I played a looooong time ago on my Play Station 1 - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. I suddenly remembered how amazing this game was from the graphics, gameplay concept, and of course, the story line. I bet the most of the game freaks should know this game, Raziel, and Kain. If you don't, you missed out something very interesting when you were a kid.

Reminiscing the high school days when I would not do my homework coz I wanted to finish this game so badly. Come to think of it, I came home to play PS1 back then. Hahaha!

Just sharing this great game and story line... I hope they make a movie out of it or re-release it with better graphics or something like that! Wishful thinking...

12th-Oct-2008 07:33 pm - F1 Japanese GP - Viva! Alonso!!!
gold
The Japanese Grand Prix saw Fernando Alonso win AGAIN!!! Back to back wins from Singapore and Japan... And yes, he is the best pound-for-pound driver with no driving issues unlike the man leading the WDC as of the moment. Alonso is the best, no doubt!

Aside from the great win were the accidents and penalties. When I saw the incident on turn 1 on the first lap, it was just clear the Hamilton will have a penalty. What is he saying about the penalty not fit for what he did? C'mon, he blocked Kimi that's why everyone turned wide except for Kubica and Alonso because they were not blocked! Massa cannot do anything coz there was no space on the outside... And again, Hamilton had the balls to late break (and locks his break, as usual) but this time, recklessly! Remember Brazil 2007, Lewis?? HE EVEN PUSHED HIS TEAMMATE for God's sake! Then Massa gets a penalty for making Hamilton spin, that was no surprise in the wake of all the blabbering and complains of the English people... In comparison with Bourdias-Massa incident, it was only right that Bourdais gets a penalty for making Massa spin... When the stewards are consistent, people complain... when they are inconsistent, people complain...

Main point, people are insatiable coz they want their drivers to win! That's why it is senseless to read articles from websites that you know are pro-Hamilton and vice versa. Another significant point is Hamilton is no Senna who can climb from the back to win a GP that's because there are other great drivers than him! He did not even get a point while Massa fought to get a point or two... Just look at won the Japanese GP of 2008.

This came from Manager Kelvin... He asked his friend who came from Japan if "Aya Ueto" was a known figure in Japan coz almost everybody we know who lived in Japan haven't heard of her!! And yes, she is a known celeb in Japan under the name, "Uedo Aya"... Then I remembered my Japanese 101 class that "to" should be pronounced as "do"  (I should've paid more attention to class that time. hahaha!)

So, the correct pronunciation is "Uedo". This is good information especially when asking my friends/ sisters going to Japan to buy me something about her (mags, dvds. etc.), they would know what to say to the stores.  Galing talaga ni Kelvin!
