Thank you and goodbye, UFY!

Meet UFY, Richard's car which he bought back in 2000.  We sold it to our friend in 2006 in favor of a bigger vehicle, a Revo.  Then we sold the Revo in 2010 and went carless for a few months, which was a challenge with a baby.  Things come around.  We bought UFY back in early 2011 when our friend left for Singapore.  So, there's a lot of history with this car.

It's a 1986 model, already 16 years old and was still able to take us where we needed to go but it's been having problems, lately troubles starting... Richard brought it for servicing Wednesday last week and was told it would cost a lot to overhaul.  He was linked by the service advisor to somebody who was willing to buy the car and by Monday, it was sold. I didn't even get a chance to see it one last time.:(

The person who bought it is an enthusiast and is looking to soup it up.  I hope I would see UFY again in the future, most likely in better shape.  I hope the new owner will be blessed in having it like we were.

Circa 2000

2003.  I will remember UFY because Richard taught me to drive using that car.  I bruised it a few times but it was still kind to me.

 2005. During our wedding.

We changed its color in 2006, my pick.  After that, I like UFY even more because it was one-of-a-kind.  I've also liked its shape better than the newer models.

This photo was taken last month.

I've taken a lot of pictures inside it.

After Neil's moving up program.

Who knew this would be one of the last few times we get to be UFY's passengers?


Thank you and goodbye, UFY!

Around the Internet 12.09.11

This week's notable links are related to world population.  I tend to be interested in a subject, read about it and discover these links. 7 Billion on National Geographic .  Special series on the world's 7B population, with stories and discussions.  They have a counter of world population as well. 7 Billion Actions .  A site where anyone can upload a story, highlighting positive action.  I was checking through the site and was encouraged by all the good work that people do.  Really, we can be hopeful.  It's just a pity that only the sensational negative stories get highlighted in the media.  Positive stories are found right here.  And thanks to the internet for making this possible. What's Your Number?   7 billion is an overwhelming number.  This site let's you enter your birthday and plots you on the population chart and identifies your specific number (datapoint).  Of course this is not perfect and employs some algorithm to estimate where you are on the cha

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Image
Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget. I very rarely reread books so most of my collection just sit on the shelf after I'm done with them.  I feel it's a waste of precious trees if they are not shared with others.  So I started a Google doc at work where the team can list down their collections and anybody interested in

It's Not Complicated: Samson and Delilah, Ruth and Boaz

Image
The last two topics for the preaching series on love entitled 'It's Not Complicated' were on Samson and Delilah, and Ruth and Boaz. ( Podcast here ) Samson and Delilah .  The story of Samson and Delilah can be found in Judges 13.  Before Samson was born, his mother was visited by an angel who said to her, "You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razorbecause the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”  Samson was destined to lead and deliver Israel from its enemies.  But we know that his life was far from simple.  He made personal decisions that changed the course of his life, including marrying Delilah, which eventually led to his death.  It's a tragic story and Pastor Joe explained why it happened to Samson - wrong place, wrong standard, wrong person. Samson, although he was set apart as a Nazirite, spent time in Philistin
