Give us space!

The same way men want us to give them space and time so that they have a nice night out with their male friends, ladies also want to enjoy the same luxury. No, we don’t need to get drunk or go clubbing for that matter but it would be nice to just get some time away from the home and catch up with friends.

I know lots of friends who are unable to do this just because their spouses refused to take care of the kids when the mommy want to go out and play so much so that my friends are always unable to attend any get together I have arranged which is so frustrating to me sometimes. It’s like, get us a gps tracking system in our car already if you care about our safety so much so that you know where we are all the time in case you need to locate us or come to our rescue.

Agreed ladies?

Men and Cars

What is it with men and cars? For us ladies, it’s just a mode of transportation, to get us from point A to point B. However, for them, it is an entirely different story.

My mother-in-law always relate to me how when my hubby was a wee little boy of four or five, he was able to tell the model of any car that he saw on the road. Now, his mother was very puzzled as she herself would not recognized some model especially those that are not so popular on the road. So one day, she asked her son and this boy of four or five told her,

“Just look at the face of the car mommy!”…lolzz…

Who would have known that at such a tender age he was already noticing such things!

Nowadays, my hubby is an avid fan of shows like “Fifth Gear”, “Overhaul” and “Monster Garage” and he keeps saying how if he has a lot of extra money he would buy a Mustang and how he would hot rod it just like Chip of “Overhaul”. He would explain to me in detailed how he would get the Mustang parts online (I guess he already source out for it..lolz) and ship them here and how he and his group of friends would work on it. He would get so excited that sometimes I get excited just hearing him talk about him!

Anyway, today I surfed to the website that he was raving about and I saw some nice Mustang accessories. But I guess the only thing that I can get him right now would be this nice cap to just keep the dream alive.

Cool Travel Machines

We women love our beautiful things. But then again what gender doesn’t so let me rephrase that. We love beautiful things. That includes from clothes, shoes, accessories and cars.

Speaking of cars, I had an education with my hubby yesterday as we were waiting for his car to to be repaired at the shop. He showed me how accessories can make or break the way a car looks. From paint job, to tinted windows to tires. He also showed me how chrome accessories like chrome trim, rear spoilers and cargo liners, can make all the difference in the way a car look. From a normal looking car, you’ll get one awesome cool looking travel machine. And you know what? He’s right. I saw a car being transformed right before my very eyes at the shop.

Making Up Car

LadyJava — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 15:32:00 +0000

I may be a woman but I enjoy looking at nice cars. Now you many wonder why I say this. Well – because to a lot of women, a car is only a mode of transportation, getting them from point A to point B.

To be honest, I was one of those women hence, the oh so experienced statement, but all that changed as I watched more and more “hot-rod” show with hubby and started to appreciate the finer “art” of making a car beautiful and how difficult it is to get the proper body shop supplies for their artwork so much so that most of the times they have to make it themselves.

I know making up car is expensive and a lot of people here find alternative ways or cut-cost by just going to any mechanic and getting it done but I believe if you got to do, do it right the first time. Do it at a reputable mechanic who knows what he is talking about and please don’t just cut the suspension spring coz you want your car “lowered”. It ain’t worthit if you have to keep going at an angle at every road bump you encountered.

Cheerio…
