WOKE UP EARLY SATURDAY AM AS IF I WAS GOING TO WORK, BUT NOPE...I WASN'T GOING TO WORK, BUT OFF TO GET OUR HONDA CIVIC REPAIRED. WE PURCHASED A USED '98 HONDA CIVIC EX ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IT STILL HAS GREAT FORM AND BODY, INTERIOR IS FINE...BUT THE ENGINE WAS A MESS. LIKE PANDORA'S BOX, ONCE THE ENGINE WAS PICKED ON AND LOOKED AT, TONS OF WORMS AND PROBLEMS STARTED COMING UP...WELL, THE CAR WOULD OVERHEAT HALF WAY TO MY WORK IN LA JOLLA EACH DAY THAT I DROVE IT (TALK ABOUT STRESS BEFORE ACTUALLY BEING AT WORK)...IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING AND ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY WE ENDED UP BUYING A NEW HONDA CIVIC...LESS STRESS, IT'S NEW, NO REPAIRS NEEDED, IT COSTS A LIL' MOOLAH, BUT IT'S ALL WORTH IT!!! OK, THE '98 CIVIC SAT IN OUR PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR TILL HUBBY GOT THE FUNNY MONEY TO BUY IT AN ENGINE AND THE MANY PARTS THAT IT NEEDED...BUT (YUPPPP, A DEFINITE BUT....) DESPITE ALL THE UPGRADES, THE CAR WON'T PASS THE SMOG...WE REPLACED THE FUSE BOX, WE DID THIS AND THAT...THEN, LAST SATURDAY MORNING, AFTER GOING FROM ONE SMOG PLACE TO ANOTHER AND GETTING SEVERAL OPINIONS, WE FINALLY WENT TO THIS ONE SMOG PLACE ON 8TH ST IN NATIONAL CITY, CA AND FOUND TWO HONEST MECHANICS WHO TOLD US EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO TO PASS THE SMOG AND THEY DID NOT CHARGE US VERY MUCH...UNFORTUNATELY, THEY COULDN'T SMOG THE CAR, BECAUSE IT REQUIRED TO GO TO A "TEST ONLY" STATION...AYYYYEEE!!! GOOD THING OUR GOOD FRIEND "DONG" WHO IS REFERRED BY OUR OTHER FRIEND "KHONG" HAS A "TEST ONLY" STATION AND THE CAR PASSED THE SMOG........FINALLY!!!! GETING THAT CAR TO PASS IS QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR HUBBY...THE SACRIFICES OF FALLING IN LINE @ THE DMV TO GET EXTENSIONS ON THE CAR'S REGISTRATION, TO FIND THE PARTS AT THE JUNK YARD AND GOING HOME ALL GREASED-UP....GOOD JOB, HUBBY BEAR!!!! YOU DID IT, YIPPEYYYY!!! OK, ENOUGH ABOUT THE CAR....
THE REASON WHY I HAVE "CLASH OF THE TITANS" ON THIS BLOG IS THAT WE SAW THE MOVIE LAST SATURDAY...ACTUALLY, FIRST ATTEMPT TO WATCH THE MOVIE WAS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH THE KIDS (YUPPPP, EVEN THE LIL' CHUMMY!!!)...DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SHE IS 2 AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR HER TO GET IN THE MOVIES $7.95 FOR THE LIL' ONE...AND THAT'S NOT ALL, SHE WAS FINE DURING THE PREVIEWS...WE SAT BEHIND THE KIDS SO THAT THE LIL' ONE WILL NOT TALK OR MOVE SOOOO MUCH...LO' AND BEHOLD, THE LIL' ONE SAW US AND STARTED CALLING OUR NAMES IN THE THEATER JUST AS THE MOVIE WAS STARTING...WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ESCAPE THE THEATER AND GET A PASS TO COME BACK ANOTHER DAY....THAT WAS DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING AT THE SAME TIME...WE JUST CANNOT TAKE HER YET, MAYBE WHEN SHE'S 4 OR 5 YRS OLD. WELL, WE FINALLY SAW THE MOVIE SATURDAY NIGHT...WE ALMOST WATCHED "SHUTTER ISLAND " INSTEAD, BUT THE SHOW TIMES WERE TOO LATE FOR OL' FOLKS LIKE HUBBY AND ME...SO WE STARTED WATCHING THE MOVIE...I SAW THE 80'S VERSION WITH HARRY HAMLIN AND URSULA ANDRES. NOW, THAT MOVIE WAS LONG AND DIFFERENT FROM THE 2010 VERSION...I LIKE THEM BOTH....OF COURSE THE 2010 VERSION HAS BETTER ANIMATION, BUT THE 80'S VERSION DEFINITELY HAS THE "ORIGINAL" FEEL TO IT, VERY NOSTALGIC...OVERALL, I ENJOYED THE MOVIE...IT WAS OK. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE IRONMAN 2 THOUGH...THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD MOVIES COMING OUT THIS SUMMER....YUPPPP, IT'S ALMOST SUMMER!!!! WELL, SUNDAY WAS A BORE...WENT TO CHURCH TO THANK "HIM" UP THERE FOR ALL OUR BLESSINGS AND TO ASK "HIM" TO ALWAYS GUIDE US TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION. YOU SHOULD NEVER DOUBT "HIM"..."HE ALWAYS WATCHES AND LOOKS AFTER "HIS" CHILDREN...AFTER CHURCH WE DID SOME GROCERY SHOPPING...HUBBY AND BRUHAY (PRONOUNCED BROOOHEYYY), MY (STEP) OLDEST DAUGHTER, HAD A MISUNDERSTANDING DURING CHURCH AND HUBBY'S MOOD FOR THE DAY WAS JUST RUINED, SO WE DECIDED TO GO HOME...COOK FRIED PORK (WE CALL LIEMPO) AND CHINESE BROCCOLI IN OYSTER SAUCE...I LOVE TO COOK, THE KITCHEN IS MY SANCTUARY WHEN I'M DOWN AND LOW, BUT I'M BETTER WHEN I'M IN THAT CHEF LEGASSI MOOD...I TRY TO COOK EVERYDAY FOR THE "FAM". WE ARE A "HOME COOKED MEAL" FAMILY, TAKE-OUTS ARE VERY RARE...ONLY WHEN I'M VERY TIRED FROM WORK AND CANNOT MOVE A MUSCLE TO COOK...TONIGHT I WILL FRY CHICKEN, MARINATED IT SINCE LAST NIGHT TO BE CRISPY AND YUMMY LIKE "MAX'S CHICKEN"....OH YEAH, DID LAUNDRY TOO YESTERDAY...WEEKENDS BASICALLY ARE FOR RELAXING, BUT LATELY WE'VE BEEN BUSY...AT LEAST WE HAD ACCOMPLISHED PLENTY OF THINGS THIS WEEKEND...NO MORE STRESS WITH THE CAR AND WE GOT TO WATCH A COOL MOVIE...TILL MY NEXT BLOG...
