I just had quite a perfect morning. True, i had to wake up at 5am to bathe and go pick up my girlfriend but it was worth it. First, there was no traffic. Second, the weather was cool and refreshing. Third, the breakfast buffet we had at Eastwood was great and very affordable. Fourth, i had a perfect cup of hot chocolate at, wonder of wonders, McCafe. Kudos to Mary the barista this morning. Her cup of choco with the great conversation with my GF capped a nice morning. Im attaching a picture of the cup :) I took it before i drank. It was too nice not to photograph. And last, a nice drive to Becca's house and then to mine for us to get back to sleep. Mass, dinner and fireworks to follow later.

It has been an exciting weekend to say the least. Anyway, i just wanted to note my experiment. When i finished my tank of Petron Unleaded, i replaced 41.264 liters with Shell unleaded this time. The Petron gas, who claims to provide more mileage, just gave me 353.8 Km with 25 min idle time. Compared to the previous tank of Unioil, this mileage sucks big time. I guess there is no truth to their ads. I'll update on how shell is when i finish the tank :) This is turning out to be an interesting experiment.

I loaded about 40.71 liters of Petron unleaded a couple of days ago. Prior to that filling, i tanked up with Unioil from near empty and travelled 393.4 Kilometers. My aim is to check on what Petron claims is a superior unleaded gasoline that will provide better mileage than the others. Seeing their advertisement on TV that a car ran 1100+ km. on a full tank made me want to do this as i really do doubt that it was as they claim. Anyway, i'll update this after i used up this tank of Petron gas.

There has been quite a lot of things that has been happening since i last made a post.

On the first weekend of January, i will take the 3 day Black belt seminar to attain my 2nd Dan with KDA (Karate Development Arts and Sports). Ive been training for the past several months for it. When i started, i was from 167 to 172 lbs. and starting to get occassional headaches. My headaches disappeared after the 2nd black belt session and since then, i have gained about 20 lbs. The fact that i also lost 3 inches around the waist despite the weight gain should mean something. I got my black belt in 1990. 15 years later, i will get my 2nd dan/degree. I hope to grow old in Karate. I know better now than to stop doing it. My body deteriorates and i get sickly if i dont do martial arts. True, i am still a little in pain from a sprained ankle because of it but it will heal soon and it feels good to be able to expect my body to move the way it used to.

Review begins the week after the seminar. Sigh. Oh well, it too shall pass.

I gave up the domain super.ph since nobody visits it often. Why waste money on a frivolous thing as this right? I did transfer the files to a subdomain of the registered-for-life, Perez.ph. It can be accessed via http://super.perez.ph. I also gave up some of the other domains that earned me money before but not anymore. At least now, it wont be so tough to maintain the ones i have.

My sister is getting married next week. I just hope i still get to see her now and then and chat the way we used to. Yeah, she wont be just in the other room anymore. C'est la vie.
