Cawws! (More smiles per gallon)
Now that I have my driver’s license, the only thing that I need to be able to get to work would be… yes, a car.
I plan to buy one of those hybrid cars. Toyota Prius (My #1 choice on hybrids, influenced by Ozzie), Honda Civic Hybrid (#2 choice on hybrids), Honda Insight (#3 choice on hybrids, but I dislike that it’s a coupe), or Honda Accord Hybrid (too expensive though). It’s time to put all those wasted braking energy to good use. (I need to save on gas and be environment-friendly too)

I also love the VW New Beetle. They’re so cute. I wish they’d make Beetle hybrids.
Which one should I buy? (Well, not that I have the money, just dreaming.:D ) For now I’m thinking of either the Prius or the Beetle (unlimited surrenders! I thought only Filipinos played this game. Apparently not!) (Could you imagine a world where open and close parentheses don’t exist? )

My first Driver’s License!
Thanks to my Ozzie, I got my drivers license today! He taught me most of the things I know about driving. Thank you! You must be soooo proud of your Yunny!
My dad taught me proper driving (like really stopping [as in full stop] when there’s a stop sign even if you’re absolutely positively sure that there’s no car approaching from the left or right).
I totally failed parallel parking. Teehee. No, don’t get me wrong. I know how to parallel park, I just botched this one when you needed it the most. I got it only on my 3rd try L-) .
I drive an automatic vehicle. I know a little about driving stick. I have to be instructed (by Ozzie) when to shift gear. Someday I’ll learn.

Ant Bully: An IMAX 3D Experience
My Brother, Dad and I went to IMAX to see the Ant Bully in 3D (yes, with my Dad. Teehee). While the screenplay is not entirely as unique or inventive as Disney or Pixar movies (think Monsters Inc, Cars, Finding Nemo), it’s still worthwile to watch (in 3D). The details and choice of colors were astonishing. Ants and bugs seem to pop out of the screen and walk on the head of the person in front of you *giggle*. Unlike Superman Returns, Ant Bully runs in 3D for the whole 1 1/2 hours. No wonder it took them 4 years to finish the movie.
How else could something so unoriginal become so much fun?
The IMAX here is as large, but not as jampacked as the IMAX at SM MoA. I think the one here has half the number of seats.
The first IMAX movie that I’ve seen was Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets. It wasn’t in 3D, but still good. The next ones were short stories like Shrek, Honey, I shrunk the audience, etc. from Disneyland and Six Flags. Then the NEC Losers watched Superman Returns at the newly built IMAX theatre in SM Mall of Asia.
