Occasionally, Patrick would leave us to cover a Press Conference while at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS). We would find ourselves wandering around the Main Hall and the rest of the exhibits until he finished his work. I think the last time we attended a Press Conference as a family was for the Manila Speed Show with Marlon Stockinger. This time, we were allowed to attend Mazda's Luncheon Press Conference and what a blast we had! :)

2017 MIAS: 13th Annual Manila International Auto Show
02 April 2017
We've always gone to the annual Manila International Auto Shows. This time, it's a bit special because it's Patrick's first MIAS event that he's covering under the Carmudi group. Though the event itself goes on for four days (March 30 - April 02) at the World Trade Center, we only came with him on the last day. But still, we all were excited at seeing all these brand new cars! :)

Last Saturday, we all attended the launch of the country's first and only off-road adventure/lifestyle magazine, Adventure 4X, at the 2015 Manila Auto Salon held at the SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia.
Checking things off on the wishlist :)
Do any of you maintain a wish list - a list of things that you really wish for regardless of how crazy some of them are? I have maintained a wish list since 2000 and it's fun to look at the list and see how it grows and see how fast I was able to achieve some of them. Actually, some things took too long but still, in the end I was still able to check it off hahaha
Some of the things I have on my list which I've been fortunate to acquire over time include a TV, a PS2, a new computer, an effective sound system, a facial (can't seem to remove it hahaha), a massage, the renovation of my room, replacement of the windows at home and a lot more. It just makes me happy that things get checked off and there's room for more wishes :)
The latest wish that got checked off was the treatment of the warts on my face. Yes, uggh, I agree with you. For the longest time, I keep seeing them on my face and I know that I have to go for treatment but I just never found the time nor the money to actually pursue it until now. I finally met with a dermatologist, Dr. Jaz, and she got rid of them (not just on my face but on my neck and chest and back!) Some people will find it painful, really painful but my tolerance for pain is high so it was a walk in the park for me hahahaha It was through electrocautery and you need 1-2 weeks for the wounds to heal. But after that, there's a new me - a fresher, younger looking me!! It's not cheap though, you need to really save up for it :) I took pictures but I'd rather you don't throw up while reading this post so I didn't include any here LOL
If I had one thing removed from my wish list, Patrick also had one wish granted. His was totally awesome. He got to ride in one of the Subaru cars that the legendary Russ Swift used in his exhibition stunts at the 2010 Manila International Auto Show. I'm still fixing the videos to upload so check back later for them.
The stunt he was involved in was Russ Swift driving the car on it's side, on two wheels alone!! I was afraid for Patrick but I was also excited for him :D I knew what a privilege it was to be part of the stunt.
Just to let you know, I had my ECT (electrocautery treatment) the day before the show. I didn't really want to go because my face was yucky (really bad like I had chicken pox or something!) but I didn't want to miss Patrick's moment so I soldiered on hehehe
Here are some pictures of the kids at the show:

2009 Manila International Auto Show
Ever since Patrick took up that writer's position for Top Gear Online Digital Magazine, our weekends have often been spent at car shows. Last April 2-5, the 2009 Manila International Auto Show was held at the World Trade Center in Pasay City and we spent both Saturday and Sunday there LOL
