June 12, 2010, afternoon. Our cats had gone crazy. Somehow… They’re still alive. (Muhahaha another Jill Valentine parody. )

While I was busy doing some stuff online last Saturday, I heard weird sounds from outside the house, then I realized they were coming from our cats. I didn’t know what happened for them to act like they just swallowed some wild pills. While watching them through the window, I was actually amused by them meowing like crazy. And because of that amusement, I took out a recorder and recorded what was like bickering humans. Of course, minus the understandable audio.

Look how time flies! It’s been really fast for me. It was only last March that classes ended, and next week, it’s class days again! Oh well. I might as well conclude I enjoyed my summer vacation. Recap:

• Industrial Engineering Educational Tour 2010. This happened last March 22-28. We went to several places in Luzon — Manila, Pasay, Quezon, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Makati, Bulacan, Cavite, Tagaytay, Laguna, Subic, Baguio… I especially loved our adventure in Showtime (ABS-CBN) and Enchanted Kingdom! The whole experience is really unforgettable! (I was only able to write about day 1. Could I still recall everything that happened that week for blogging purposes? Hahahaha. )
• On-the-Job Training. I started April 12 and ended June 2. My 240-hour work at Trax Technologies Asia, Inc. may not be the most challenging one I’ve had, but I sure enjoyed my stay there! Our OJT head is as sunny as us, and the rest of the Trax people are not really strict. And yes, I learned.
• Finishing our Feasibility Study. I know this was supposed to end even before our IE Ed Tour. But due to circumstances beyond our control (char), it got delayed. It’s a good thing we were finally able to pass a hard copy of our whole project. Fulfilling.

If you’re a dedicated driver, not just one who wants to show off, you would take time to know all parts of your car. I don’t know how to drive (and I don’t know if I’ll ever learn how to), so I’m not so familiar with the uncommon parts of the car. Or is it just me who calls it uncommon? Anyway, I recently came across the term wind deflectors and it got me wondering what it is. Pardon. Here’s what I found out:

A wind deflector is an automobile accessory typically attached to the front hood, sunroof, and window areas of a car. Deflectors attached to the front hood generally protect a vehicle from damage due to flying debris. Wind deflectors attached to the window and sunroof areas are generally used to allow fresh air ventilation while keeping the occupants of the vehicle protected from the elements.

To those who own a car, can you please show me your wind deflector, if you have?
