Well I am with my partner sitting in Makati Avenue in the Philippines, so busy compared to what we have back home in Sydney. Having a few beers and some novelty drinks, why not they are only like $1.5 $1AUD good quality reputable local alcohol, add a few dollars and you can have any type of food you fancy from $5-10AUD!
Cant fail to notice the amount of exotic and modified cars passing through the slow moving traffic, then again it is friday night and I know in some places in Manila there are a few people having fun racing on the streets. From where I am sitting it does not feel or seem like a third world country. But hey even if you did see the locals here people have a sense of satisfaction, no matter how hard life is people know how to have fun, and no matter what you will still see a smile on their faces. Kids here inspite of how unfortunate they can improvise and construct their own toys out of used cans etc.. what ever they can find and the rest is driven by their immaginations, how resourceful isnt it but at the same time sad to see. Makes you appreciate life more, yet we cry and sulk because we cant install ITB's or have them latest wheels on our cars :)
You guys may seem to also think I just took off and left Sydney with out much warning, but there is a very good reason for that mainly stress! 2013 was very busy for us and I must admitt I bit more than I can chew that year, and I have been feeling and developing very bad anxiety attacks when my phone rings, when our dog barks etc.... even though the financial side of the business was good I can no longer operate efficiently. So I learnt that there is a time where I have to draw the line no matter what people think. I do then again must take care of my self first before anything else, because with out me LLT-Racing is no more ;) I am sure inspite of the repercussions due to my actions I look forward to what 2014 has for me and LLT's.
