the 23-year-old richard rodriguez, who is involved in a police car chase, dropped down on his face to surrender when he found out that he has nowhere to go. the first police officer rushing to him suddenly kicked his head. rodriguez turned his head and eventually got hit on his shoulder. the second dropped his knee to the boy’s spine and hit him with his stick about three to four times… at least that’s what i saw in the news 30 minutes ago.

lets check youtube to confirm

here’s foxnews’ clip

well, it’s not that accurate, but the hitting is there. clearly, it’s a rights violation.

so, this is how california’s finest behave.

birthday, fiberglass, car show

Posted in diary with tags , , on May 3, 2009 by terrylan

i was out today. i went to my friend’s house, bought some fiberglass materials and watched a car show. it’s an exhausting day, but overall it’s great.

i drove around 70km to a henry’s house. it’s his birthday. that’s from sta rosa to tagaytay to dasmariƱas. some would say i should take the shorter route, which is the south luzon expressway exiting in carmona. but winding and longer roads are more fun.

we drove to panapaan, bacoor to check out the local fiberglass supply and ended up buying some materials to start an experiment with. alex, the shop caretaker gave us some tips of the fiberglass making process. thanks to him, we got the materials we needed and were informed of the seminar that will take place this 22nd of may – not sure of the date though. he also told us there’s a tutorial video that are also sold in pasig. here’s a sample of the video…

the company is polymer products philippines and their head office is in pasig where the session will take place.

if you’re somewhere near manila and are interested to learn, their site is a good starting point.

learning that some of our friends are attending a car show, we drifted to a nearby mall where it was held – sm bacoor. the show was organized by pldt dsl and brian revilla – which i was told about. different cavite car clubs gathered to show off their cars and participate in some competitions. there was also a drifting show which lasted for several minutes, but we decided to go back.

at h’s (as what we call him) house, we got to sit back and talk. we haven’t see each other in months, so we talked longer than expected. he invented me for dinner and talked some more with his wife. i left their house around 11:45pm and got the the house at 12:30

happy birthday H!
