luxury yacht


Here's another one of my wildest ambitions. It's a yacht! I want a yacht because I want to learn how to navigate it. I love driving. I even wanted to be a pilot when I was young but I know that's not possible because I don't have a 20-20 vision. Yacht cruising sounds like fun especially when you're the one in charge of navigating it. If I'll learn how to navigate a yacht, it's a dream come true!

For my dream to come true, I have to purchase a yacht first. I would name it, Escalera. It's a Spanish word for poker. Escalera sounds nice. It depicts a strongly-built yacht for me. Then, I would have to look for a parking space for my yacht, I already chose one even if I don't have one yet. I plan to park my yacht at the Subic Bay Yacht club where Willie Revillame's yacht and Chavit Singson's yacht are parked. It's a safe place for yachts. It's also not that far from Manila. After that, I have to look for a training school wherein I can learn how to navigate a yacht. I already looked for one and found "Yachting Experience". It's a yacht training school that teaches people how to navigate a yacht. It's based in the US. There you go, everything is pretty much planned. My only dilemma is how to raise money for my dream yacht, Escalera. Sometimes I hate myself for being so ambitious. But hey, it's okay to dream. Walt Disney said, "Don't just dream about it, Do it." I have to do something about my dreams. Right now, I'm only envisioning my dreams but in the future, I'll make sure that I'll do something about it.

The Electronic Poker Table


There a new product of technology out there in the market for gamblers. It's the electronic poker table. It's like the regular poker table but everything is automated. There are screens for all eight players. The screen displays the cards of each player. In the middle of the poker table there's a big screen for the flop and the other cards and chips. Everything will be automated from the distribution of the cards, opening of the flop, counting of chips etc. Another feature of the electronic poker table is that you can swipe your credit card to buy in. I think in Las Vegas, Nevada they have this device but in the Philippines, I haven't seen one yet.
I love the electronic poker table. I want to experience playing poker where everything is automated. However, there are disadvantages when using this automated machine. In poker, you have to interpret the body language of your opponents, right? In the automated machine, you won't see the how the other plays count their chips or look at their cards. You'll lose the opportunity to detect body language which is crucial to the game of poker. Furthermore, jobs will be lost if we all use electronic poker tables. No manpower will be required to distribute the cards and chips. I'm pretty sure it's more economical for casinos to use automated poker tables but it won't do good to the people whose jobs are to distribute poker chips and cards(I dunno what you call them). But hey, I love this product of technology. It's exciting. It would be fun to have one in your house when you love hosting house parties and sleepovers.

home theater system

I love movies. When I'm stressed or dealing with a lot of problems, I just go and watch a movie and I immediately forget about my worries. It's a Filipino past-time. I'm just not a fan of movie adaptations of novels because I only get disappointed when I see novel-based movies. Movies don't capture what the text in the novel really says. But other than movie adaptations of novels like Twilight and Harry Potter etc., I love movies.

Another one of my wildest dreams is owning a home theater system. I've seen some home theater system's in MTV Cribs. Mariah Carey owns one and so does Snoop Dogg and Lil Bow Wow. I guess home theater systems serve as a form of recreation to busy people like them. Even right now, as a college student I am always busy and stressed. A home theater system can be helpful in reducing stress and for recreation. It's not a necessity but I want it. It's just cool to own one in the comfort of your own home. You can choose what movies to watch and what time to watch them. In the public movie theater, the movies you can watch are selected and can only be screened during pre-determined time schedules. In a public movie theater, you have to deal with noisy people, couples making out and people kicking your seat. It's just annoying. In a home theater system, you're in control. 

private jet is love <3



Owning a private jet is one of my wildest dreams. =) There's nothing wrong with dreaming, right? Of course, owning a private jet in a third world country is out of this world. I don'treally expect that my dream will come true. But I know some politicians who own them and I can even name some of them. I was able to ride a private jet owned by a former politician on the way to my province, Ilocos. The ride was sweeeeeet.

A private jet costs whopping billions. It makes me wonder how this certain former politician was able to afford it when we all know that a politician's salary is just meager. If ever I'll buy a private jet, I'll make sure that the money I will be spending on it is a product of my hard work. I love travelling and it would be nice to own a private jet where you can chill and relax without having to worry about the meager space in an economy class seat. A private jet is also a determinant of status. It screams success. I want to reach a point in my life where I can confidently say that I am successful. Part of success for me is owning a private jet. 

Manansala condo unit at Rockwell





After graduating from college and graduate school, I want my own pad. I want to experience living independently. Wouldn't it be nice to have your own space where you can relax, fend for yourself and decide for yourself on what you want to do inside your home? I want to decide for the color scheme of my condo unit and choose what furniture to put inside.

The Manansala Tower at Rockwell is one of my dream condominiums. You can rent it for 60 thousand a month. It's kind of steep but it's all worth it because of the tight security and commendable services that comes with it. Some of the facilities of the Manansala Tower are the infinity pool, gym, sauna, steam room and more.  The Rockwell mall and Ateneo graduate school are accessible. There's this fully-furnished unit that I've been eyeing on and I posted its pictures here. Unit 1409 of the Manansala is for rent. I saw the pictures of that unit online and I fell in love. I love minimalist and elegant designs. It's interior fits the description. I hope I'll be able to buy a condo that looks like this. I have to work hard to earn enough money to buy myself a nice pad.

Iphone 3GS is on top of my wishlist :P


Techonology really does wonders. I'm a fan of Apple products. Thanks to Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs and other people behind the Apple corporation because I'm enjoying products like Macbook, Ipod and Apple Airport Express. There's one product that I've been eyeing on for the past few weeks. I have to say that it's on top of my wish list right now. It's the Apple Iphone 3GS. 
I read about its features and it has a camera, video camera, compass etc. You can use the internet with it. It's touch screen. It's fast. You can load applications without having to wait for a long time. There are a lot of applications to choose from. I heard that there's this cool application called pocket guitar and then I've tried the digital zippo lighter. It's fun. Some applications are not really a necessity. It's also pricey. The 32GB Iphone 3GS that I want costs 299 dollars. When I told my parents I wanted the Iphone 3GS, they laughed and said, "Why? Are you already working?" They said that I can only have one if I start earning money and work to buy the things that I want. 

I love you Miata MX-5!!!

While I was passing by Mazda Ortigas branch, I saw my dream car. It's the 2009 Mazda MX-5. It was on display. Wow! Everything about it is just perfect except the price tag. Hahaha! it costs around 2 million PHP.

I've always dreamed of having my own sports car. I love watching people drift and I want to learn how to drift. Have you ever seen someone drift? If you haven't watch any Too Fast Too Furious movie and you'll be amazed. I just love the screeching sound that you hear when you drift. Even though I haven't test drove this Miata, I know it's the perfect car for me because it comes in this stunning shade of yellow, it's small and light. It's a convertible. It's keyless. It's got speed. You can start the car even without inserting a key and having to twist that key. The only problem that I have with Miata is that it's a two-seater vehicle. I want to be able to take my friends on a joy ride. With the Miata, I can only invite 1 friend. I learned from a review, that the seats are cozy and comfortable. That's good. I'm also planning on buying Recaro seats if ever I'll get my own sports car. As for the moment, I really want a Miata MX-5. Santa Claus, please give me one for Christmas. I've been good lately. Hahaha! LOL.
