Formula 1 Grand Prix De France 2008

even though the TV was on last night, i wasn't able to fully watch the race because i was busy playing Sally's Salon in my laptop. nothing much happened. Jenson Button (Honda) was the only one who didn't finish the race. Kimi Räikkönen (Ferrari) got the pole position during the qualifying the other day. i have no idea what happened to him and he landed in second place only. Felipe Massa (Ferrari) won (*sucks*). Massa now leads the driver standings (*sucks* even more).

the winners:
1. Felipe Massa (Ferrari)
2. Kimi Räikkönen (Ferrari)
3. Jarno Trulli (Toyota)

Girlfriend

You wear your hair
Like it's your best accessory
And I don't want to
Ever have to compete with that
And I know you'd be
Nothing but excessively sweet
And cherish me, sing to me, love me
But...

I can't belong
To anybody else right now
Though it is not much of an excuse
I can't belong
To anybody else when I've got
So much figuring out to do.

I don't wanna be a girlfriend
I don't want to talk about my feelings yeah
I don't wanna be some girlfriend oh
I don't want to have to explain what I'm thinking.

I go alone
To watch stupid romance movies
And I sit, wishing,
It was your arms wrapped around me
And I just deny
That all I want is a piece of you
But I guess it's true, don't wanna talk on the phone,
Don't want attachments, don't wanna be your girlfriend.

I just can't belong
To anybody else right now
Though it is not much of an excuse
I can't belong
To anybody else when I've got
So much figuring out to do.

I don't wanna be a girlfriend
I don't want to talk about my feelings yeah
I don't wanna be some girlfriend oh
I don't want to have to explain what I'm thinking.

Is it wrong for me to want you
Just for a day
I don't want to be that kind of girl
But I can't help myself.

I can't belong
To anybody else right now
Like a girlfriend
I don't want to talk about my feelings yeah
I don't wanna be some girlfriend oh
I don't want to have to explain what I'm thinking
yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Formula 1 Grand Prix Du Canada 2008

it's past 3AM here in the Philippines, but i'm still awake because i just watched F1.

... well, it was a good race led by BMW. it was a 1-2 finish for them. it was also their first F1 victory and the first win for Robert Kubica. though i am not a BMW fan, i am very happy for them.

... Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Räikkönen weren't able to finish the race because the car of Lewis crashed behind Kimi's car while they were exiting the pit lane. Nico Rosberg also crashed behind Lewis but he was able to leave the pitlane and finish the race.

... it was refreshing to see the podium with no McLaren or Ferrari drivers in sight. haha.

... Kubica now leads the drivers' points followed by Lewis.

here are the winners:

1. Robert Kubica (BMW)
2. Nick Heidfeld (BMW)
3. David Coulthard (Red Bull-Renault)

next stop: Magny-Cours, France. June 20 - 22, 2008.
