Last Friday the 13th was an interesting day, nothing cool nor any interesting happened, but the “Date” itself.

I heard on the news that, August 13, 2010 is the only “Friday the 13th” that will occur this year. Though people, specially the superstitious ones may not prefer that date to celebrate, having custom cake toppers in any celebration would be a lot more fun.

So I thought of checking out how big of a deal is Friday the 13th to other people?, coz the only thing I know bout it is, it’s a title of a horror movie. I learned a lot after researching about it, there were a lot of theories indicated in Wikipedia which rooted from this 2 superstition, having 13 as an unlucky number and Friday as an unlucky day, but what I liked the most is the medical term “friggatriskaidekaphobia” which is “fear of Friday the 13th”. There were even researches in certain countries, where most people with “friggatriskaidekaphobia” prefer to stay indoors whenever it’s Friday the 13th, though this lessens accidents and crimes, it affects businesses a lot coz they don’t get customers .

Its been quite a while since I’ve watched a motorcycle circuit race. Siguro yung huli kong nood was last year pa! That’s why when I saw a streamer of an upcoming race at Ynares Center in Antipolo. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, I make sure I’ll be available that day.

Since I’m a scooter fan, particularly na ang Mio (coz I own and ride a Yamaha Mio Sporty too hehe), inaabangan ko dito yung bakbakan ng mga popular teams like the MTRT, JVT at ang JAD Racing.

It’s race day! August 8, 2010, and I’m hesitant to go. Why? It looks like the race would be postpone or canceled because of a bad weather, there’s a storm coming.

Whaddaheck! I’ve been waiting for this event to come! Ngayon pa ba ako aayaw? I hit the shower, pack my gears and camera and off we go. By the way, I’m with my kiddo Sean Kirk.

We weren’t disappointed because even with the bad weather, the wet and action-packed race still pushed through. Sean enjoys watching little boys like him race their pocketbikes! While big riders have the guts to attack the wet tracks. Slanting at the curves in top speed was no joke, tapos slippery pa. Astig!!!

Kudos to you guys!!! We didn’t finish the race but I could say that It’s not a bad day after all, but a beautiful Sunday!!!

By the way. Here are some of the action that day! Enjoy viewing!

IT IS KICK-ASS!… I have never been in any movie house for a long time now. This generation has kept me stuck in front of PC’s 90% of the time. I spend some of my time reading, especially at carinsurancelist blog where I got to read a lotta new things about car safety.

Last night, me and my bro watched this Kick-ass movie, which has a Kick-ass storyline, and a Kick-ass approach to the audience, especially teens (Ehem, made me feel way back too). Oops! I guess I used “Kick-ass” as an adjective too much for this movie.

But who wouldn’t?? This movie was indeed a Kick-ass movie, in fact the title is “Kick-ass” .

The movie was released here in the Philippines last April 2010, but I happen to watch it just yesterday night, I have never heard of the movie, even any of its advertisements. That night I realized how fun it is to watch a movie without any expectations on it. Even my bro doesn’t know what the movie is about we just inserted the CD and prepared to get our ass kicked. And I say it did kick our ass immensely. (Note: I Loved Hit-Girl and you certainly would so specially if you love anime: P)
