GPS is a Great Safety Measure

I find Google Earth very remarkable. Imagine the privilege of exploring geographic information. It's amazing how one can view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, an 3D buildings. I even heard Google Earth can explore galaxies in the Sky. Technology has indeed gone a long way.

Even vehicles have incorporated hi-tech gadgets to improve capability and performance. One remarkable gadget is the GPS Tracking. GPS or Global Positioning System is a revolutionary and hi-tech system that you can add to your vehicle.

I'm amazed by this small and easily concealable vehicle tracking. It is called a Tracking Key which happens to be the smallest and lowest priced passive GPS tracking system in the world. The Tracking Key has a strong magnet which enables you to place it under the car. It is even water resistant. The Tracking Key is also compatible with Google Earth. Imagine all those features put into one GPS tracking system.

I'm sure any driver would love to have a vehicle tracking system in his car. If for some unfortunate reason, the car gets stolen, the owner and the authorities can rely on the vehicle tracking system to help them locate the stolen car. The GPS carrier can help pinpoint the exact location and speed of the stolen car. The vehicle tracking system is a great safety measure that can be a great advantage to vehicle owners.

Project Ferrari Complete

Our Ferrari collection from Shell is now complete. Thanks to the help of my brother-in-law, Keats. The two Shell stations near our area do not have the complete set anymore. Good thing, Keats is always on the road and was able to find the other three cars that we needed.


It's amusing because my son, Yohan has easily memorized all the models of the Ferrari. It's nice to see my little boy very happy.

Some Points to Consider in Purchasing a Car

Buying a car is something that needs to be given thorough thinking. Purchasing a car is an investment and before putting your money into something, it is advisable to think about it first. Avoid making impulsive purchases because you might just realize at the end that you’ve wasted your hard earned money.

The first thing to consider is most probably your budget. Determine how much money you are willing to spend to purchase a car. Work on that budget. If you have limited budget, you can buy used car. Insurance is also cheaper for used cars.

Another option is car finance. Instead of investing all your money in a car right away, you can choose car financing. You can pay part of the amount of the car and invest the rest of the money elsewhere. This is a good idea for business inclined individuals who are thinking of using part of the money to generate more income.

If you have the right budget, then it is best to purchase a brand new one. New cars are guaranteed to be at its best working condition. A brand new vehicle ensures you that its engine is working well and there are no hidden problems compared to used cars.

Ferrari Craze

My husband is an avid fan of Formula One Racing. Rarely does he fail to watch F1 races on TV. He is a fan of Michael Schumacher and Kimi Räikkönen. He is a great follower of the Ferrari team. Just recently, he was excited to tell me about the current promotional offer of Shell.

In celebration of this year’s Formula One Championship and to cap off its 60th-year anniversary celebration with Ferrari, Pilipinas Shell recently launched its unique premium promotion allowing loyal Shell motorists to own their very own Ferrari model car! - source

This promo started last November 1 and will end on Dec. 30. With every P500 worth of Shell V-Power or Shell Helix Ultra products a customer may avail one Ferrari for as low as 49. So far, we only have three Ferrari cars. Three more and we'll have a complete set.

A few nights ago, my hubby and my son were watching Discovery Channel and it featured the Ferrari factory in Italy. I was amazed at how Yohan seemed so interested and fascinated on the program.

It was a coincidence that we saw a Ferrari Spider (same as left most car model above) at the car showroom on the way to school. Yohan was so upset when we couldn't make a stop over. Funny because he wanted us to go down and drive the Ferrari. :)

Honda's Popularity

Honda is very popular in the Philippines. In fact, I know many people who patronize Honda. When I think about it, my first car was a Honda. It was given to me by my brother before he went to the States. It was a blue Honda CSi. My husband's family also loves Honda Cars.

This week's theme: Vote or Any other word starting with V.

I decided to go with any other word starting with V. Time for a little wishful thinking on my part. I saw Hyundai's new release - The Veracruz. I like it!

The Hyundai Veracruz is a new mid-size crossover SUV to be sold by Hyundai on the US and Canadian market and its home market. source

Secure Behind the Wheel

My brother takes good care of his car and considers it as one of his valuable assets. He bought his first car, a Honda CiviC ESi, when he was in college. It was a second hand car but he was very proud of it because he used his savings to purchase it. When he started working, he saved his money to buy a brand new car. He sold that car in favor of a new one after a few years. This is his current car, an Eclipse sport coupe. The first time he sent me a photo of his car, I told him that the bright Sunset Orange paint suits his fun and jovial personality.

My brother has a carefree attitude in life but he always takes security and safety precautions seriously. When he found out that I was late in renewing our car insurance, he reiterated the risks of having an expired one. He convinced me that having a reliable car insurance will secure me, as well as other parties from damages and physical injuries brought about by accidents. Safety should always be the number 1 priority.
