Anthology of Snippets

Hrhrhrhr I am brimming with giddiness as I prepare myself to write this post. Warning for the weary hearted, this is not a short one.

Remember I said I had a little sumthing sumthing that you do not know about right? Well, I just want to say that I have a new baby. His name is Axl (after Axl Rose of Guns ‘n Roses – duh!). As for why I named my baby Axl, you will know in a while. Anyway, Axl is my new steel horse which I ride with pride and attitude.;) Okay, so yeah, Axl is my new motorcycle!! Yipee!! Finally, finally, finally, I have my own motorcycle! That’s another strike out of my wish list! LOL

Although I have always been pining for my own motorcycle since I was around 12 years old, I never really got my wish, so I thought maybe it was high time I fulfilled another of my wishes by myself. At least I am not asking anybody for it huh? Anyway, I rode on the excuse of finding a real pressing need for a motorcycle caused by the crazy road conditions here at Dumaguete where all roads lead away from the city. Plus, there was a window of opportunity that was fueled by the fact that some of my mates at the Pristine Asylum were going to purchase their own steel horses as well.

Now after scouting around the various models and brands, I initially planned on purchasing a Kawasaki Fury, which was what Little Lulu was getting. Miss Muffet was going to get the same model, but we asked her to rethink her decision because she was a bit on the petite side. I changed my mind about the Kawasaki Fury since when I mounted it, it felt kinda heavy to maneuver, and with my scoliosis, my back would die.

Then Miss Muffet decided on getting the new Yamaha Vega. I thought maybe I would get that as well. However, D was against the model and brand, because his preference was anything my Honda. Plus, he thought the Vega had a big butt. LOL He wanted Honda XRM, but he knew that I was not keen on XRM so he thought we could just settle for the Honda Wave 100. However, after browsing the Honda Philippines website, D showed me the link of the new Honda XRM 125 RS, which he thought looked nice. Since my friends were going to a contacted dealer, I told D that I will just tell him what I find and decide on.

My friends and I did get our steel horses at the end of the day. Just so you know have an idea how it the motorcycles look, I took the liberty of taking pictures.   (click on the images for bigger versions)

Kawasaki Fury (I think this is a sweet ride, but it’s not mine, it belongs to Little Lulu).

Yamaha Vega (I kinda agree with D that the butt looks a little bit on the big side, and it’s not mine, it belongs to Miss Muffet).

This, my friends, is Axl:

Honda XRM 125 RS (aka Axl – and yes, this is totally mine ours )

Yes, since I totally trust my husband with his decisions, I went to check out if the dealer had the Honda XRM 125 RS. D, however, wanted a black one, but I fell totally in lust / love with this color. And since D was not there when I purchased Axl, I just closed my eyes and penned the papers before I weaseled out and bought another color. Hey, it was his choice that won regarding the brand and model! I should have at least some say regarding the purchase, eh? So yeah, I inked the papers and rode it off into the sunset (before I could change my mind).

In case you are wondering whether or not D had violent reactions regarding the color, there was NONE. Dude, he loved it! See, I have good sense of decision making. LOL Okay, so maybe I was apprehensive. I thought maybe he would think the color was too girly or what. But he said it was awesome and that I made a good choice. He reckons maybe the black would be cool too, but the color is definitely unique!

So, tadah!!! This would be me, posing with Axl. LOL I have more pics, but I am a bit hesitant coz I think too much of my gut has overflowed in the other pictures. wakekekekke…

Soo.. don’t I deserve congratulations or something?

Oh oh oh… read the post above.
