Digging up the classics… TOP SECRET Japan
Posted by britech | Filed under Art and Photography, Automotive Art
Been browsing through photos looking for a specific shot and I ended up staring at classic photos from old trips and random shenanigans. Saw a few classic photos of our trip to Japan and our visit to Top Secret. We all know what Top Secret has done over the years and it was an awesome experience checking out the shop back in 05. Wow can’t believe that was 3 years ago. Shop was fairly small but with a huge garage on the side and another side lot filled with GTR’s. A enthusiast’s wet dream. Here’s some classic photos from the visit. It’s actually pretty funny because our Super Street cover with the High End Supra came out that month so we gave a signed copy to Smokey and in return he gave us 200 posters. Dopeness!!
That trip was a lot of fun. And I love the fact that you can pretty much just buy parts or anything and then take it home with you. None of that waiting for 6 months bull shit. Love it! Been wanting to go back lately maybe soon. Screw visiting shops and going for business. I’m going there to party next time. From north to south. It’ll be amazing.

in love with this car
Posted by britech | Filed under Art and Photography, Automotive Art
The Ferrari 599XX. One of the new Ferrari Go Ultra Fast cars. Releasing the old model with a different flavor. I assume they just added a lot of spice and chili when they made the recipe. Much like it’s big brother the Ferrari FXX that lapped the Top Gear test track a little bit over 1:10 shattering the record of the Gumpert (which was a bit over 1:17) this car hauls much faster than the Ferrari Enzo. Can’t wait to get mine… In my dreams perhaps.
No facial tats

Since tats in the face is not an option… Gummy stars will suffice.

There comes a time in life where you have to let go of all the pointless drama and people that create it and surround yourself with people that makes you laugh so hard that you forget about the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
Amazing Fire Photography

Some awesome shots of fire breathers. Love how the fire takes form and how they’re captured with so much drama and attitude. Amazing stuff.
Congratulations!

Wanna say congratulations to Vince Wong of iForged and his kick ass Porsche 966TT for getting the cover for PAS mag. This car is a beast! Vince showed with AC Elite in the HIN series with this car and won top honors. Why wouldn’t he? This car is just bad ass. Once again congratulations sir!! Check out the June issue of pas mag out now.

Worst part about Transformers 2 the movie…
Posted by britech | Filed under Thoughtless Blurbs
The Lines!!
Nidia and I watched Transformers 2 last Thursday in Universal City Walk. Got there early since I was expecting the lines to be ridiculously long. And I was right. After dinner and a few drinks at Hard Rock Cafe, which was good but took so damn long btw. Ordered a pitcher of sangria since she said she’s never had it so figured why not try it. It was to surprise tho when I saw the bill knowing that this was Hard Rock where a pitcher for a 9 dollar sangria can cost $30. It was ok tho. She enjoyed it and so did I. Since we finished the meal around 8 I figured we should be good to go since the show doesn’t start till 10:25pm. Figured it’s another 2 hours we should be fine. FAIL. Line was already about 50-70 people strong. To much of my despair we decided to just sit and wait it out for 2 damn hours. Bleh. So was the movie even worth the long wait and line? To be honest not really. But with great company and enough Iphone battery for games (which I didn’t have), it’s not that big of a deal.
Still 2 hours waiting on our ass for transformers movie that last another 2 1/2 hours… long ass time spent on a movie theater. Next time, I’m going to an IMAX Theater with assigned seating.

Transformers 2… My thoughts.
Posted by britech | Filed under The Life
I like it.
I know there’s alot of negative reviews on the flick but the movie is really cool. It’s not perfect by far but it’s very story driven, lots of action, and some really cool action sequences. There are some really annoying parts that they could have gone without but you’ll barely notice them (the twins) since they are all being over shadowed by Megan Fox (’s twins).
How is it compared to the first one? To be honest it’s really hard to compare… On the first Transformers movie that came out a few years back, I was overwhelmed with nostalgia. Hearing Optimus Prime’s voice gave me the chicken skin since it brought back fond memories of saturday morning cartoons and childhood. But since I see Transformers everytime I turn the channel to Cinemax I am getting tired of it. Story wise I like Transformers 2 better. It has more robot action, it has a better story (although it’s not even close to the cartoons) and more umm… more Megan Fox.
What's going on here? Oh... Optimus Prime died and he's in the middle. Should I have said Spoiler Alert First?
I do have some gripes about the movie tho. The robotic death matches could be better. I mean effects were amazing but seriously, zoom the F out! Huge difference between asian cinema and american 
cinema is that fight scenes in US cinema has most of the fight scenes zoomed in the character’s faces. It’s annoying since you can’t see what they’re doing. Movements go so fast that you really can’t identify who’s who and who’s doing what. They’re still good scenes but it can definitely be improved upon. Also a decepticon that transform into a hot chick? WTF was that. That was just cheesy. Honestly. But can’t complain tho since Isabel Lucas is equally hot in comparisson to Ms. Fox.
As I said. Good movie. Although filled with holes and lines that leaves a sour taste in your mouth I really liked it and planning on watching it again… Maybe… just can’t stand knowing that I’m sitting on one spot for 2 1/2 hours. In it’s defense tho, I hardly noticed the time. Plus I had good company. Just make sure not to drink a lot of fluids before the movie tho since it’s a long one and you don’t want to miss a scene. Also, see it in IMAX. Sound alone made the movie worth paying the extra few bucks. Oh and another thing, Please turn off the analytical thinking side of your brain. It’s one of those no brainer action adventure flicks that makes you ask the question why in a few of the scenes. For example, Optimus Prime died and Sam’s adventure is to revive him with the thingamagig that makes the energon machine to work. But then from what the decepticons did was revive the already dead megatron with a shard of the all spark that they stole from the army. And Sam has a shard himself that he used to revive Jetfire… why didn’t he use that shard to revive Optimus is beyond me. That would have been easier and it would have stopped the decepticons to revive the sun destroying machine thing. Right?? Screencaps btw are brought to you by my iPhone hehe.

Artistic. Fantastic

Since Jay, from JDMego, posted the posters of Flight of the Conchords the other day I’ve been on the hunt on getting my grubby little hands on those items. Unfortunately tho most of the designs are sold out since they go really quick. Since my friends and I are big fans of the band (if you call them that) I just have to have these fly ass posters. They’re just some awesome piece of art. Found the website to get these so both Jay and I are gonna be broke from buying these pieces.
While looking for them I came across the website of the creator of the posters. Tyler Stout is the artist that created these pieces and they are amazing. All his work are in a limited run. All signed, numbered and screen printed. High quality and just plain old dope!! Thank you sir now I will be broke because of you. Here’s some more posters that Tyler Stout has done and all his work can be seen on his website tstout.com. You can also buy these posters on his site and also there are links provided on where to get the other posters. Check them out. You won’t be dissapointed.

The week of sadness and realization
Posted by britech | Filed under The Life, Thoughtless Blurbs
This week has been hard for everyone. With the loss of a good friend, loss of an actor/actress and finally a loss of an icon. It saddens me since this all happened this week, as well as all the current events going on world wide. It made me realize that this world, this life is indeed short. And it can always be cut shorter. Life is precious and we should all do what we can to improve it and also savor it. It’s a sad fact that as time goes by, sad news of friends, family, idols will be much more abundant and we can’t do anything about it. All we can do is live the life we know and live it wisely.
I spent the night last night with a friend of mine and had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood. While drinking sangria she and I decided to tip our glass and pour one for the homies that passed on. Not the best idea but it was funny. Sorry for the spilled red wine Hard Rock Cafe.

The Passing of a brother…
Posted by britech | Filed under The Life, Thoughtless Blurbs
We were born in this planet kicking and screaming with no apparent knowledge of anything. From the time we gasp our first breath of fresh air we start the process of aging. We open our tiny little eyes, we scream our first cries, and shed our first tear. Life is a mystery and we are here to find out what our purpose and what we are meant to do. Life is easily created and much easier to be extinguished.
As we go on in life we meet a lot of people a long the way. Our loved ones, our friends, and random acquaintances. And by this we grow from experience, with each laugh, each despair and disappointment we face. We learn from mistakes and live for accomplishments and happiness. Majority of people strive for goodness while others live to bring destruction and sadness to others. Still, life is full of experience. Experience turned to knowledge and with that knowledge we pass along to our future generations. Our memories and our influence is the mark we leave in this Earth. This is how we are immortalized.
This past week has been filled with sadness and mourning. A member of our family had their life cut short by misunderstanding that turned into violence. One of our brother Raffy Bautista, along with this father Raul Bautista and his brother Richie Allen Bautista was slain last June 25, 2009 in the Philippines. Raffy, 34, is in the Philippines to be married the week after his passing. He also left behind a son on fathers day. Raffy is an ACElite member that showed us his creativity by building his widebody mean green Evolution 8. He was also one of the two (along with his brother Robin) that established the High End Performance Store, San Diego chapter. He was always an easy going person. Always Jolly and always had a smile on his face. Nothing but fond memories imprinted in our lives every single time Raffy is present. He is a friend, He is our brother. You will always be in our hearts, and be immortalized in our memories. Let’s celebrate his life and his memory not his passing. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort us tomorrow. We miss you already buddy.
It is the will of God and Nature that these mortal bodies be laid aside, when the soul is to enter into real life; ’tis rather an embrio state, a preparation for living; a man is not completely born until he be dead: Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals? ~Benjamin Franklin, 22 February 1756
