A RACER"S BLOG
« on: Mar 27^th, 2005, 1:42am »

Try reading this... ill change the name so that it wouldnt be biased ... at the end of the story, you'll know!

Sept. 23 05

Today is my birthday...

Oh well... spending my birthday alone is not new to me... My mom went outside the Philippines and my dad died 3 years ago... My siblings flew later after Dad died and followed mom in California...

I spent my birthdays at my apartment together with Chris, a college friend of mine... He loves taking videos and photos coz thats the only thing that makes his world go round...

He has lot of stuffs that he likes that i also do... Like the Amazing Race... Well, we both love travelling seeing other races... So much for this, i need to celebrate my birthday at home together with my friends and classmates....

Beforehand, after the pizza came ringing at the door, the Phone rings. Chris answered the phone and i walk through the door... As i reached the pizzas on my hand... Chris is screaming like a freak. And i, as to my astonishment rushed near Chris. I put down the pizzas rapidly as he tries to hand the phone to me...

As i put the phone in my ears, a man named John Ligasso told me these phrase: "Congratulations, you are prequalified to be on the Amazing Race"...

Shocked, i am so goddarn happy... but at the same time, im clueless on how i got in to the race thingy... We and Chris havent had some audition tapes that are broguht to ABS. We hadnt do it at all...

Then i put down the phone... Chris came near to me and tells me...

"Im sorry dude, i passed an audition tape... Actually, i didnt tell it to you because i want it to be a surprise... Las two months, we were in the mall remember... i brought my camera and starting filming of you and your coming birthday celebration... A stolen shot i guess... i told them that i want it to be a birthday gift for you... "

Of course, im shocked... my jaws are hanging like clothes in the line... One thing that i was thinking bout that time... is i want to say a lotta thanx to my buddy...

It was like the hell out of me... im so excited and that is the start of my Adventure In A Lifetime!!!

to be continued!!!

Sept. 24

its 12:23 pm in the morning... just got sober... it was a wild night... But never told anyone that i have been prequalified for the race... Oh well... they told us to go to the studio to have interviews and stuffs...

Right there, out of my bed, i was thinking... will i make it... or just too much for my thought... i hope it is...

AS i walked out the room, i saw Chris lying on the sofa... Walking around the messy room, i opened the fridge... everything is gone... another shopping that is...

I got dressed up and shopped. Doritos, oats, non-fat milk, sodas, beers, breads and many more... At the counter, i saw this hot chick... her name... Sheila... I saw it on her badge.. i introduced myself... but she is snobbish... but she smiled afterwards... the only phrase is "HI, there cutie!" and then i left...

5:02 pm

We and Chris are waiting outside the studio... Its odd to have an interview in the late afternoon... So many people around here... probbably those people are the ones John Ligasso phoned... we look around... And to my surprise... It was her...

to be continued!!

This bolg is just a made up... i just want to have a new genre of fantasy AR game... I want my readers to feel the way the racers feel... Its like You are the one whos racin around the world

6:40 pm

It was her... Sheila... the girl from the grocery store... She is nicer out of her uniform. She's wearing a pair of faded jeans and a pink tank top... she looks sexy that time... compared to us with Chris, we only wear a shirt, pants and pair white shoes... well who cares...

I came near to her... And made a conversation...

"Hey", i said "why are you here?"

"ANd why are u here 2", she grinned...

I told her that we were qualified to join the race... And so is she...

"Wow, thats very cool..." I replied... "By the way, who is with you to join?.."

She said without hesitation... "Him!"

"Who's him?", saying with the thought in my mind that i wish she is single...

crossin fingers....

"My dad"... He's with me...

I sighed in relief for a second but afterwards nervousness after seeing her father coming toward us...

"So you into this too..." THe father said...

"Well... yes..." while looking at Chris from afar giggling like i was so belittled by the situation...

"Well then, we'll be leaving right now... our interview is done and we hav 2 go..." Sheila's old man replied...

"Okey, bye..." i said "i hope to see you in the race..."

And they are gone, but Sheila left me with a small wave of hand for a bye...

I came near to Chris... And then seeing him, someone hits him at his head!...

"Hey what is that for", after hitting his head..

"For you a$$hair!," i said... then a moment is silence between us...

"She's hot", chris uttered...

"Yeah, i mean, she turned me on forno reasons at all... I cant believethat she will be on the race with us..."

Silence struckthe air... And suddenly i asked something personal to CHris that i never asked him for almost 5 years....

"Chris?"

"Yeah!"

"Have you seen your father?"

Chris stumbled in silence. After a while he replied, "Me, my father? Nope never seen him since i was a kid..."

I see sadness in Chris's eyes... I knew that his father was also dead like mine. But at least i had seen my dad. Unlike him...

"My mom, after divorce, i dunno..." Chris said. "She said he was a very good Father... I cant remember his face. I cant remember anything. The only picture that i gotis from my mail... "

With pity, I looked at Chris. With his teary eyes, all i can do is taphis backand show sympathy for him...

Then someone called our names... Yes! I guessits ourturn for interview... darn, cant wait to hear the news...

10:23 pm

As we got home, I changed my dress to boxers. Then Chris called me... A phone call for me...

"Hello, who's this?"

"hey, its me shiela"...

"How do you know my number"...

"Well, i snatched it from the directory... i got your full name on your credit card so i looked up and called you"

"Wow, thats very impressing!"

"Thanx", she said "By the way, i never had said bye to you that time... my dad wanted to go home that time..."

"Its ok", I answered. "So are you ready for this? i mean the race... ?"

"Well im excited, i cant wait to go abroad and travel..." she anwered. "It will be my first time to ride on a plane..."

'Are you serious?, i mean, really?"

"yeah!"...

Our converation lasted more than an hour and the we hang up... Our constant phone talk lasted for 5 weeks up to the race has started...

Oct. 29
11:42 pm

we are briefed about the race and how we should and we should not do along the way... Yeah right... Im sick of long hours of talking of this n that... but i have to...

Its like talking about how to be cooperative to the cameraman with you... How to sit on a car... everything and anything...

but one thing is my most awaited day...

And that is tomorrow!

Oct 30
6:00 am

Its a very esciting morning... I feel both nervous and excited... Oh my god... this is it... The race ive been waiting for... Minutes from now, will be arriving somewhere in Manila as the start of our leg... hmmm. Wonder where it will be our first destination...

On a ferry, 11 of us teams... We are clueless on where will land... We dont know where is our starting line... But my wild guess, will be on MAnila... I mean the Manila Bay...

Pair by pair, we got off the boat.. Some sort of the 'introduction of teams' shooting... As our time to jump off, we walked to the area that the crew told us... We walk like bragging. Some thing like "yeah, were the newest contestants of the AR, heheh"... Oh well...

As all of us got off, we walk on a line and formed a semi circle in Baywalk, Roxas Blvd...

Chris whispered to me before Phil came...

"Im nervous... are you?". He whispered...

"I am!" while looking at the other teams and last look at shiela...

Ok. Phil is in... He started talking... I can't hear anything on what he is saying... All thats in my mind is the GO word...

I'm starting to breathe deeply. So as Chris... Well, Chris is ready for his sprint... He's already almost kneeling on the ground...

Me... Oh my god... Everything is slow... I wanted to pee... There are lots of excitement in my mind that i am paralyzed by it...

Ok... I heard the $1million word... We clapped...

"The world is waitng for you..." Phil continued.

"Ready"

"Travel safe..."

Ok. here it is my first ever stride on this show...

"GO!!!"

We ran to our bags... Grab our clues... Chris tears it... And... Ok great... this is exciting...

Chris read the words loudly and said. "Fly to your first destination, ..."

Yes this is it!!

I was bouncing inside when Chris read "Fly to your first destination, TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS".

Oh yeah! like way half the world we're going...

Chris continued, "There are only two flights to get to Honduras. American Airlines that will depart 1:00pm in the afternoon can only carry 6 teams. and the other flight Delta air 2 hours after the first for the remaining teams..."

Ok its time to run the hell out of here and go to the airport... Like 10 miles from here... Yeah its great...

We ran like freaks... Like we chased by a chainsaw murderer... Screaming taxi like we were chased by a cannibal... Oh well. Its a race... who cares...

We and Chris found a taxi... and we found inside a 57-year old driver... Ok. Well no comment about that... What if - just what if - he can drive faster than i am...

We put our bags on the trunk, jump behind wheels and we blast off... actually blast off is not the term... like we crawl off...

Oh my god... like Shandy the Sloth is faster than us... Almost three teams pasts us - including Shiela and Armand. Same as the two tall dark handsome twins, Mark n Sean. Its not only them. The two oldies Celeste n MArio, the oldest in this race had just freaking passed us...

Flame starts to boil on my head... I cant yell to the driver but i can kill him. Chris is talking like freak like 'faster' ...

And now, we are here on the aiport... Damn it... i nope we are on the first flight....
