//:: Exiting the paddock for the last time as a driver...

In the 2008 British Grand Prix, in which he considers it already a home grand prix, is where he announced that he is to retire from Formula 1.

David Coulthard at the age of 37 will now retire his flag from motorsport. This weekend for the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix (the last race for the 2008 season) will mark his 246th and last Grand Prix start, as the Scottish veteran calls time on his 15 years of staggering competitiveness in Formula One.

Here are some facts and figures for you about David Coulthard prior to the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix

• Taken part in 245 Grand Prix (in 15 seasons/years)
• Had 13 wins, 62 podiums, 18 fastest laps, 12 pole positions
• Best championship finish is 2nd in 2001 with Mclaren
• Scored a total of 553 points
• Driven for 3 teams (Williams, Mclaren & Red Bull)
• Started from the front row 37 times
• Done 55,400 interviews
• Worn 160 race suits, 140 helmets, 85 pairs of gloves, 1 space suit
• Middle name is Marshall
• Done 31,332 hours of fitness training
• The only man to wear a Superman costume on an F1 podium
• Taken 1927 flights
• Had 7 team mates
• Got his own museum that sells DC 'baby-grows'
• Eaten 432 chickens for lunch
• Done 22 fashion shows
• Dressed up as a New York policeman once

What I like about what he has told everyone when asked about retiring is ... When he said that his journey in life has now reached a natural conclusion that upto to this very moment in his life he is still very competitive and he is very happy of racing. He will now end it while he is still on a high rather than end it when he is already unable to do it and would end up retiring and live the rest of his life thinking "I could have done better!" Which for me is also the case when I said I think I have to put a stop on my music career. In the same way as David is now entering a different world when he finally decided to become a father and a fulltime husband.

During the FIA press conference in Brazil in preparation for the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix. Coulthard, when asked about his thoughts about the weekend said. It is going to be a very very emotional weekend for him. As after he crosses that finish line when the chequered flag is waved, when he steps out of the car, when he walks out of the paddock is his last time to do it as a Formula 1 driver.

In honor of his last race he has asked the permission of everyone (FIA, F1 teams, drivers, etc.) That he will be using a special livery on his RB4 (Red Bull 2008 F1 car) for the last race of his career. He will be using the "Wings of life" foundation colours.

This blog really is about me giving a salute David Coulthard for his achievements in life and how he faced a decision in life and how he has handled it to be happy when he made the decision.

//:: Tone jams with Kardams Band

A night of music with Kardams Band. I always enjoy playing with these guys. It's not about just the music or being up their up on the stage with them. But it's the whole experience when you get to talk to them and be with them. When at the back stage, eating or resting we always talk about almost anything and I promise you won't get bored cause almost all are very interesting. Also I awe a lot from there guys. I learned so much from them, specially Manong Toni Alba "drummer" who always pushes me to play a solo that I always end up ruining their set, ahmm to manong Ernie Alba who teaches me alot of types of beats I can play along with different types of rhythms, to Paolo Sisi "Bassist" who has always been there! Ever since I met this guy it was always a learning curve for me "Oh yeah his one of the best bassist in town"

So anyway, here's Kardam band (the instrument section) playing an instrumental piece called St. Thomas.

You can catch them live at Taboan and Kanto bar at Matina Town Square every month and in some places in davao like Jack's Ridge, etc. Without me ofcourse :) hahaha I"m just a silly little guy who ruins their set everytime I jam with them :) ... Have fun!

Kardams plays a variety of songs and genre' such as Jazz, Standars, Samba, Reggae, Pop, etc. and if you wanna hire them you can contact them thru +6309177563532.

//:: Island Plunge!

Great weather, great food, drink all you can! That's what it was like during the "Island Plunge" Octoberfest Pool party of Marco Polo Davao. Saw quite a friends around though it was not that full but still it was a fun night with a very nice setting by the pool, fun and games with prizes sponsored by Havaianas. Was just a great night for a pool party.

Some of my friends would have hoped for a cheaper ticket. Some of them didn't really bother cause they knew it only happens once a year and that's during October when beer is really flowing like a fountain. Some "danced" at the ledge/stage floating by the pool and some went up to the instruments to jam with the El Quinto drumbeaters.


People came wearing their best beach wear, some where even wearing just their bikini's and upon arriving jumped straight into the pool. I could have done that! Jump straight into the pool... not wear a bikini! ;) hehehe Oh yeah ofcourse the whole night was filled with flashing digitial cameras!!! Thanks to a good friend of ours "WACKY!!!!" who took some nice shots of us. But anyway.

Congrats also to Marco Polo Davao for celebrating their 10th year anniversary as the only 4 star hotel in Davao.

Below are pictures taken from the Island Plunge pool party

//:: How to scare your wife...

Former Formula 1 driver Riccardo Patrese` takes his wife for a hot lap on a Honda civic around the Jerez Circuit.  

It's so funny to see how scared his wife was not knowing that she was being "filmed" the whole time. It's really amazing to watch great drivers drive.  Riccardo was so calm behind the wheel balancing it nicely over the kerbs where the car was going like hell going around the corners.  It's just amazing how they carry those speeds around those tricky corners. It's a Honda Civic for cry out loud!
