33

"And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return"

- Excerpt from the lyrics of the Smashing Pumpkins' Thirty three

Biologically, I turned thirty three yesterday. Thanks be to God for I'm still alive and kicking. Hope and pray for the next thirty three years in my life... If God wills.

I Have Eyes For Mature Ladies

This lady got my attention among the flock out there one sunny day. She has toned curves. Standing with confidence and sophistication. Dress for a kill. Until her man came in, took her and runaway. She stopped my world from turning for a moment. And that is the 1965 - 66 Ford Mustang GT.

I don’t breathe, eat or sleep cars. But I do have a “distinct” and “sheer” type of an attraction with muscle cars, particularly the Mustang GTs – whether be a Shelby or a Ford make.

Muscle cars per se has its character that a newer model lacks of especially in physical attributes. I like mine with a bit of a “rebel” attitude and will go down and dirty but still manage to keep her stature and not the “in-your-face” type one. Though, I like some of the new models out there. They are built for ease, functionality, space, safety and even speed to suit our particular needs in this time. But it’s not unfair as well to compare both of them side by side since they’re both from different periods of time. Each has its weakness and strong points on a given situation.

I say, it boils down to a matter of personal preference or need in a given situation.

Sorry, young ladies. I didn’t mean to hurt you.

Déjà vu

Days ago I was thinking of a new blog — more of a creative outlet of my not-so-new hobby which is digital photography — so, I made anew to have a different feel and perspective. As I tinker the dashboard page down to its Widgets, I’m thinking of copying my profile’s description from my “other” blog. And when the browser opened my supposed "other" blog, and to my amaze, it said: Blog not found… Wow!

I held that blog for 2 years. The entries was so personal and I have a new list of topics I was planning to post on it soon. But come to think of it, it has a reason why it was suddenly erased.

So, to make my mourning cut short for the lost of my old blog, I welcome you to Rain Walk — my new blog.
