I'M NOT YOUR SHADOW
That is, perhaps, what Kimi Raikonnen and Reubens Barrichelo have in mind after Michael Schumacher chalked up his tenth win in 11 starts this season; and his 80th career victory. Despite Kimi's brand new MP4-19B Mclaren car, the Ferrari team has once again outwitted the other teams by playing not just a superior car, but with an equally wise strategy as well.
Ferrari's strategy for Michael was very apparent once the green light was lighted up on race day. Although he was starting fourth because of his dismal qualifying run, a lot of people expected that he would quickly shoot to first or second place. He ran in that position for about the first 10 or so laps because he was carrying more than the usual amount of fuel. When he pitted on the 15th lap and spent close to 9 seconds for the stop, it was obviously a 2-stop race strategy for Schumacher’s team, as opposed to Mclaren’s three pitstops strategy. When he pulled out of the pits on the 37th lap ahead of Kimi, there was no turning back for Michael Schumacher and the race was securely in his control, victory once again for the Ferrari team.
The only heart-stopping moment of the race was when Renault's Jarno Trulli crashed when he was negotiating the notorious Baker's bend on the 39th lap. With the bend curving nearly 180 degrees, riders were usually slowing from 7th to 4th gear as they negotiated the bend. Unfortunately, Trulli was not able to brake earlier and came into the bend at nearly 170 kilometers per hour. As he was applying pressure to his brakes, something in the drivetrain must've given up and caused his car to crash into the walls, causing a complete obliteration of his car's front wheels. His car rolled once before coming to a stop in the gravel and a couple of moments after, a collective sigh of relief was heard when he gave a thumbs-up to the crowd.
I expect that the German Grand Prix will be as equally exciting as this British Grand Prix has been. Mclaren will spend the next two weeks finetuning their new car to perfection. For Schumacher, it is expected that he will continue to drive harder for nothing can be sweeter than a hometown win. The man is clearly made of champion material. Now if only Kimi can work on that frustrating Nordic accent, it would sure be nice to watch his first trip to the winner's podium.

TODO NA TO!
In exactly 12 hours, I'll be briefing our VP on our readiness for next week's audit. I thought going to Malaysia a full week before the actual audit was a waste of time and company money, but now I realize how far behind I am in preparing for this career-changing activity. Hay, the price of procrastination nga talaga. Wish me luck peeps. In the meantime, back to my presentation muna ako. It's already 2am and I don't think I'm halfway already. If things go well, I owe everybody who cares to leave a comment a cup of coffee. :)

OK PA BA KAYO?
Ako hindi na... Tuesday pa lang pero pagod na pagod na ko.
Kape muna tayo...
PAOLO SANTOS - Coffee Cup
Staring blankly
As I pour some sugar in my coffee cup
Glancing slightly
As I watched some people patiently line
Line themselves up
Looking at a distance
My attention was disturbed
As your smoothin' silky presence
Gallantly approached the curb
Pretendin' that I know you
I pervertedly just smile
Knowing I am just invisible
To your naked eyes
Over a cup of coffee
We could travel with our words
The espresso shoots me up
The surrounding is a blur
Over a cup of coffee
We are drinking drop by drop
Thinkin' lovely lady
Could you share with me
Just another cup
Move myself into a new position
Oh hoh tryin' to get that better view
Like a secret mission
Watching every move you make
Don't think it's time for me
To take a little break
Gotta keep it together
I ain't goin' nowhere
Been here like forever
I just don't really care
Over a cup of coffee
We could travel with our words
The espresso shoots me up
The surrounding is a blur
Over a cup of coffee
We are drinking drop by drop
Thinkin' lovely lady
Could you share with me
Just another cup
I'm glad I choose
To start my day with a coffee toast
I did not sleep all day
Talk about how I spend my time away
Ba da dap ba dap di dawl dey
Ba da dap ba dap di don dey di dit dit
Dey di dit dit
Dey di dit dit
Dey di dit dit
Ooh hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh
Woh yeah yeah
Over a cup of coffee
We could travel with our words
The espresso shoots me up
The surrounding is a blur
Over a cup of coffee
We are drinking drop by drop
Hopin' lovely lady
Wishin' lovely lady
Over a cup of coffee
We could travel with our words
The espresso shoots me up
The surrounding is a blur
Over a cup of coffee
We are drinking drop by drop
Thinkin' lovely lady
Could you share with me
Just another cup
