Probably my last lap at Subic

Here is a video of my run last april in subic at the Ge Garage track day. This will probably be the last since it already closed down. We will certainly miss subic raceway.

Still alive!

It's been a month or more since i've blogged an entry. Been really busy. For the past month a lot of projects were due in and out of school. And one of the projects I've done out of school is this video we did for our Production called "Big Blue Book". Im really proud of how it turned out. I've been thinking about this concept a long long time before I pitched it to my friend and headmaster of BBB, Carlo Lee nights before the track day. And I'm really happy that we made it happen. Props to Carlo for doing half of the work in post-processing and making me part of Big Blue Book so I can make good use of the extensive equipment he invested in. Props also to Kats Catabran for some of the footage and to JP Pacres and Ray Menchavez for some useful insights when we were editing. And last but not the least, Ge Garage for holding such events and giving us material to work with. enjoy!

Dad's new whip

Web Mining: JDM disaster effect

Grabbed this photo from speedhunters. Even with the help from neighboring countries, things are still pretty bad in Japan. We can just hope and pray for a fast recovery. Come to think of it, that could've been one of us. Driving home from the tuner shop, happy, then out of nowhere, tsunami. You could tell from the Volk Se37's and Project MU rotors that the owner was once ballin'. Prayers go out to you bradda.

Pray for JDM land

web mining

looks like i was on the right track from the start. lol.

laid back friday

My gf kats, our friend luigi and i decided to have a laid back friday from all the stress the midterm exam week brought us. We had dinner at alabang country club and just took some snaps of our cars after dinner. here's a teaser, i'll upload the rest later.

Grassroots racing

Watched the federal autocross series this afternoon at filinvest alabang. Nice to finally see how this sport has grown since I first tried it back in 2006. I think this is grassroots racing at it's best. It's a true test of the car and driver's abilities. Only took a few shots kinda lazy to move around. lol.

Helmet tuning

I recently thought of stickerbombing my helmet but after just two sticker placements I realized I didn't have any specific layout of where I want them to be. So I decided to take a step back first and assess the situation. I want it to be stickered enough but at the same time remain clean. A sort of livery look.

I WANT!

A friend of mine shared this on FB. The details and shots were incredible.

Dear Girlfriend,

I'm sorry if I still want toys like these.

Sincerely,

Boyfriend who can't grow up.

"Love Lights"

I know this is really far fetched from the videos I usually do but it's for a school project and I think I did a good job. And I'm really proud of it. So enjoy!

Progress report.

So my car has taken some time to rehabilitate, but i can't complain since it was entirely my fault why it had to be. For the last month my car has received a full facelift along with the initial repairs. Progress has been good and with the change of theme I may just be on the right track to driving hard(but safe.lol.) again.

it has come a long way


but it has returned.


as the famous j's racing quote goes.. "racing goes on."

Dad's new ride

A preview of dad's recently purchased BMW 525i. I will be doing a full feature of this car soon so stay tuned.

2010 Outtakes

Back to business.

Happy new year! A new year means a fresh start. And I really need it cause last Christmas eve I hit a major speedbump. My very first accident. I'm not going to expound on this but all i can say is that it was careless driving, no excuses. The shop's working to get the car rollin' out on time and hopefully it would still drive the same way. Also got new parts from Thailand which I will save for the next posts. Again,Happy New Year! Dopegarage is back and I promise this year will be better. Better coverage and footage of the local car scene. Cheers!
